Comic lovers and Stephenie Meyer fans have something to celebrate today: the release of Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1!

Twilight: The Graphic Novel contains selected text from Meyer's original novel with illustrations by Korean artist Young Kim. A rare fusion of Asian and Western comic techniques is reflected in this black-and-white graphic novel with color interspersed throughout. Meyer consulted throughout the artistic process and had input on every panel.

"I've enjoyed working on this new interpretation of Twilight," said Meyer. "Young has done an incredible job transforming the words that I have written into beautiful images. The characters and settings are very close to what I was imagining while writing the series."

Because of the original Twilight novel's length, the graphic novel will be published in two volumes. There is no information yet on whether the last three books in the series will be adapted to the format.

Time will tell if fans like the graphic novel medium for 'Twilight'. TwilightLexicon.com, a popular Twilight fan site, recently conducted an online poll. 30% said they would definitely buy the graphic novel, 50% said they wanted to see it before deciding, and 20% said they weren't interested in graphic novels.

Fans devoted solely to the films shouldn't feel left out: 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' will be available on DVD and Blu-ray this Saturday, promptly at the stroke of midnight.

Did this teaser quench your Team Edward and Team Jacob thirst? Is it possible Taylor Lautner will be shirtless even MORE during the third installment of the franchise?

Though Twilighters are already salivating for the chance to see the first "Eclipse" trailer in theaters next month, star Kristen Stewart had yet to hear Thursday's news- that the trailer would make its big debut before Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me" on March 12. Below, Kristen weighs in on what clips should make the two minute trailer.

And while "Eclipse" is set to hit theaters June 30th, production on the 4th film in the franchise, "Breaking Dawn" hasn't even begun; as studio heads continue to debate whether the book should be broken into 1 or 2 flicks. Check out Kristen's opinion below, as well as what's on her spring agenda.

Team Jacob has reason to celebrate: "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner has signed on to star in "Stretch Armstrong," based on the action figure from Hasbro.

The Hollywood Reporter announced Lautner's commitment to "Armstrong," Universal's upcoming 3-D adaptation of the Hasbro toy property slated for release at some point in 2012. The film was initially scheduled for May 15, 2011, before Lautner's involvement.

"Stretch Armstrong" focuses on an uptight spy who inadvertently exposes himself to a formula that allows him to physically stretch his body to great lengths. With his newfound ability, the spy is forced to not only re-adjust to everyday life, but also to rethink his own crime-fighting tactics.

"In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office," Universal co-chairman Donna Langley told THR. "He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely superhero with a fantastic superpower."

Interestingly enough, "Stretch Armstrong" isn't the only action-hero franchise Lautner has been linked to in recent months. Following the actor's contagious success as Jacob the werewolf in the "Twilight" franchise, it was announced that Lautner was in talks to headline "Max Steel" for Paramount. He has also signed on to star in "Cancun," an action film that thrusts the young star into the role of an out-of-place college student who has to free his friends and girlfriend while vacationing in Cancun.

With his three upcoming roles, it's clear Lautner is being positioned as an action star for a new generation of young moviegoers. (MTVNews)

MMM...MMM....Good! Could we ever get enough R-Patz?! We think not, and the studios agree because Robert Pattinson was offered a role in Fox 2000’s period piece “Water For Elephants,” a novel adaptation following a veterinary student who joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth during the Great Depression.

Already set to star in the film is Reese Witherspoon, who will play horse rider Marlena. Sean Penn is reportedly considering the role of her husband, August, the circus’ animal trainer.

The vamp will next appear in “Remember Me,” due March 12, and in the third film in “The Twilight Saga,” “Eclipse,” on June 30.

He also has upcoming roles in two more period dramas — “Bel Ami” and “Unbound Captives.”

Meanwhile, news of a film adaptation of the fourth and final novel in “The Twilight Saga,” “Breaking Dawn,” is expected to be announced in the coming months. (AccessHollywood)

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot from R-Patz in 2010! We couldn't be happier!

Taylor Lautner's got abs of gold. "New Moon" has reeled in $288 million in just seven weeks in theaters, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year and climbing. Now the movie's star is about to get paid. Big-time.

Lautner is set to earn $7.5 million for his next picture, according to a Deadline.com report, making him the highest-paid teen in Hollywood. The film, titled "Northern Lights," will pair the 17-year-old with Tom Cruise. The plot is described as a story about "a gifted young aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted female pilot.

According to the Deadline.com story, young stars like Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus have not commanded a paycheck nearly as large as Lautner's. And the "Twilight" werewolf might get even more cash for his future projects.

A December report in Variety indicated that "Breaking Dawn," the final book in the "Twilight" saga, may be split into two films, which would force Summit Entertainment to reopen negotiations with Lautner and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Based on the blockbuster success of "New Moon," that would likely mean a monster raise for Lautner.

Lautner should also see a hefty payday for his starring turn in "Max Steel." Based on a Mattel toy line and comic book tie-in, the action flick would feature Lautner as an extreme-sports star. who encounters nano-machines that endow him with superpowers. The script is still being tweaked, though, leaving the actor free to jump into "Northern Lights" with Cruise in the spring, just a couple of months before the arrival in theaters of the next "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," whose script recently leaked online! Who was in charge of the leak, might you ask? Apparently it was Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Cullen! We doubt this will effect "Eclipse's" box office appeal, these vamps are cash cows!

As 2009 comes to a close, todos estamos pensando el lo que ha sucedido este año: Barack Obama becoming the first African-American President of the U.S., Michael Jackson's untimely death, Justice Sonia Sotomayor becoming la primera latina in the Supreme Court, swine flu, y mucho más.

Pero el fin del 2009 also marks el fin de la decada.  Can you believe los '00s are over?  In come the teens!  So to commemorate this occasion, cuentanos: who or what defines los '00s to you?

Teen Culture

Once upon a time in 2000, the airwaves were invaded by the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, 'NSync and The Backstreet Boys.  While Britney's all grown up and stealing the spotlight in other ways these days, the idolization of teen stars carried on throughout la decada.

Los 00s are also responsible for American Idol with such new young stars arising like Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, David Archuleta and most recently Adam Lambert.  And other teen music phenoms like the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez y Demi Lovato, and let's not forget Rihanna and Chris Brown, no se quedan atrás.  And really, would the whole Twilight phenomenon really exist without teen fever for RPatz, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart?  Who's your favorite teen icon from los 00s?

Latin Explosion!

Even more relevant para todos nosotros, was the "Latin Explosion" of los 00s.  Starting with the successful crossover careers of the likes of Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias y Shakira, los 00s brought Latinos to the forefront when it comes to la música popular americana.  Whether hearing Daddy Yankee in a soda commercial or Wisin y Yandel in a video game (and seeing both nominated for MTV Video Music Awards), there is no doubt that Latinos seriously broke through into mainstream pop culture during the 2000s.

With such collabos hitting the video and radio airwaves como Beyoncé y Shakira,  Wisin y Yandel con 50 Cent, Pitbull and Lloyd, Akon and Dulce María, y muchos más.  On the silver screen, actors like Salma Hayek, Benicio del Toro, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Eva Mendez, John Leguizamo and even Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba made waves para los Latinos.  Similarly on la tele, entertainers like George Lopez, Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria Parker, Wilmer Valderrama, America Ferrera and Ana Ortiz made us all un poquito más orgullosos de ser Latinos!

Cuéntanos, what defines los 00s for you?  Stay tuned to MTV Tr3s in January to catch nuestros especiales on Lo Mejor De Los 00's, y mientras tanto...

We wish you all un feliz y prospero año nuevo!  Que disfruten!
