'Twilight' Premiere: Robert Pattinson Loses His Hearing, Taylor Lautner Gets An Indecent Proposal'I left my brain at the door,' Pattinson says of shrieking fans surrounding the red carpet.

WESTWOOD, California — The nightclub-and-movie-theater-packed neighborhood nestled between Brentwood, Hollywood and UCLA has always served as a playground for excitable young adults, head-turning celebrities and couples looking for love. But never before have all three groups collided quite the way they did Monday night (November 17) when Bella, Edward and a few thousand of their closest friends stormed into town.

HE'S THE WORLD'S SEXIEST MAN BUT CLOONEY'S EX-LOVE WARNS HIS NEW BRITISH GIRLFRIEND: HE'S A FANTASTIC LOVER BUT HE'LL STILL BREAK YOUR HEART IN THE END.(Features)

Holiday Munchies - Thanks, Yumsugar!
Every year, my girlfriends and I celebrate the holiday by getting together and gorging on junk. I've been dieting pretty strictly for three weeks so I figured I'd let myself have a little fun.
My friend had the party at her place this year so I figured I'd bring something fabulous to eat and drink.
