Robert Pattinson reveals Twilight message

Robert Pattinson believes the 'Twilight' movies are a metaphor for sexual abstinence.

The 23-year-old star - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the saga - is unable to have a sexual relationship with a human because he fears that if he goes further than a kiss, his emotions and the power of his body may injure his beloved.

But the British actor thinks the abstinence makes the films even sexier, because the central characters are unable to do anything about their lust for one another.

He said: "The success of the 'Twilight' books comes from the fact that fans can lust after Edward and yet, certainly in the first book, there's no actual sexual contact between him and the series heroine.

"'Twilight' is a big metaphor for sexual abstinence, and yet it's erotic underneath. There are so many elements in the story which are sexy."

The books which the films are based on were written by Stephanie Meyer, a Mormon who does not believe in sex before marriage.

The latest film in the series, 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon', has already taken over $230 million and has turned Robert, the leading man, into a global heartthrob.

Miley Cyrus to Queen Elizabeth II : Look at My Boobs!

Seriously, Miley Cyrus?!?

We know the singer believes she's celebrity royalty, but was no one around this week to inform the self-obsessed star that there are proper - and improper, as Miley proved - ways to dress in front of actual royalty?

Cyrus and Lady Gaga were two of the American singers chosen to meet the Queen of England at yesterday's Royal Variety Awards in London. While the latter celeb actually donned appropriate attire for the occasion, Miley treated the honor like a night of club-hopping.

As you take a look at the outfits Cyrus wore to greet Queen Elizabeth II at the event and to perform in front of her, try not to injure your jaw when it drops to the ground...

Metro station

If you haven’t listened to Metro Station before, now is the time to start! Members include Mason Muss (vocals/guitar), Trace Cyrus (guitar/vocals), Blake Healy (synth/beats/bass), and Anthony Improgo (drums). Amidst the excitement of their CD release (in stores now!), I recently had the chance to catch up with the band.

Metro Station formed when the guys met in L.A. a few years back. Growing up in different places, they were all fairly new to L.A. upon first meeting. Says Blake, “A metro station is a place where paths meet, and our band is where our paths met.” That's how Metro Station was adopted as the official band name.

A perfect blend of rock, pop, and electronica, the band’s sound can be placed under the category of pop punk with synthesizers. With catchy melodies, Metro Station’s music will make you want to get up and dance. According to the guys, Blink-182 has had a major influence on their songwriting. Other bands that have had a significant influence on their sound include the Postal Service, New Order, Depeche Mode, Yaz, and the Faint.

Metro Station is currently wrapping up a tour with Valencia, Just Surrender, and We the Kings. And they’re not wasting any time before jumping into the next one! Shortly after wrapping up this tour, Metro Station will hit the road again — this time with Motion City Soundtrack, Mae, and Anberlin.

Taylor Swift Announces New Leg Of Fearless Tour

Just as Taylor Swift was set to wrap up her Fearless tour on October 11 in Minneapolis, comes word that the singer will hit the road once again for a second leg of the tour starting in February 2010. The new leg will kick off in Australia before coming stateside for a slew of dates, her rep confirmed to MTV News. Swift will hit 29 cities in the U.S. and Canada after she wraps up five shows in Australia, which will begin on February 4 in Brisbane. Her stateside tour begins in Tampa, Florida, on March 4.

Once again Swift will be hitting the road with opening acts Kellie Pickler and Gloriana.

"I'm so excited to take the Fearless tour back out on the road again in 2010!" Swift said in a statement. "This year's tour has been so much fun and even more unforgettable than I ever imagined. The fans have been so amazing, and I'm thrilled to play in new cities and see ]even more of my fans on the 2010 Fearless tour!" Shows on the first leg of the Fearless tour - named after her album released last November, which has gone platinum nearly four times - sold out in minutes, and Swift hopes that she'll do the same this time around. She said her fans' response to her tour has been like she "won the lottery of dreams coming true," according to The Associated Press. "I always expected to have to do a lot of stressing out about selling tickets. And then I went on my first headlining tour, and everything just sold out," she said. "I've never expected that kind of success. I've never just felt entitled to my shows selling out or things like this happening to me, but the fact that they've happened to me has been wonderful." Although we're sure she's welcoming a bit of a break from months of touring, she does say that seeing this leg of the tour wrap up this week is a bit sad. "It's going to be so sad knowing that we're not going to see each other for a while, everybody on the tour from the lighting to the crew, the dancers and the band, and everybody that have just become even more of my family in the last couple of months," she said. Here is the schedule for Swift's 2010 leg of the tour. Venues will be announced in the coming weeks.

Lady Gaga new release album The Fame: Monster

As she said in recent interviews, the forthcoming re-release of Lady Gaga's debut album,
The Fame: Monster, will feature almost an album's worth of new material.
According to a press release sent out by the singer's label, the album, which hits stores on November 24,
will include eight new songs, including the lead single, "Bad Romance," the finished version of which
was premiered on Tuesday at Alexander McQueen's runway show in Paris, and which Gaga played briefly
during her piano medley on Saturday Night Live last weekend.
"I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame," Gaga said in the release.
"While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new
record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc.
" She did not further specify the exact titles of the new songs, except for "Bad Romance" and one called "Speechless."
"Bad Romance" was produced by RedOne, who produced much of The Fame (including "Just Dance" and "Pokerface"),
while Gaga worked with Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay on other tracks.
The singer, who spent much of the summer promoting her album, found inspiration while on the road.
"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, '90s dance melodies,
an obsession with the lyrical genius of '80s melancholic pop and the runway," she said in the release.
"I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them."
She also noted that "Speechless" is dedicated to her father;
judging by her description, it's also one of the songs she briefly played during the medley on "SNL."
"I also composed a ballad for the album, 'Speechless,' a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all,
" she said in the release. "I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame.
I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."
