Extended "New Moon" Trailer Debuts During MTV's VMAs

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart took the VMAs stage tonight to debut an extended trailer for the upcoming The Twilight Saga: New Moon — "a first look at a movie we've been working on for months," said Pattinson.

Q&A with Robert Pattinson: "There's only so much adoration you can take."

The trailer offers a look at the darker sequel to last year's blockbuster, which details what happens when Pattinson's vampire hunk Edward leaves his girlfriend, the mortal Bella (played by Stewart), who in turn looks to Lautner's character, the human-turned-werewolf Jacob. Fans also got a first look at the improved CGI in play for Jacob's mythical transformations, as well as glimpses of Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen as evil vamps.

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
