How Much New Moon Cash Will Rob and Kristen Get?

About New Moon: With all these pots of money the movie is earning, does the cast get to share in the windfall? At the very least will they gets cars or Rolexes or something? And are these kids finally A-listers now?
—Scarlett via the Answer B!tch inbox
As much as you may think that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart each deserve a brand new shiny Volvo for delivering all that magic over the weekend, as far as I know, they'll just have to settle for millions and millions of dollars.
As for a piece of the action and other perks, well...
Rob and Kristen "Relaxed" Together in NYC

After grueling months of promotion for New Moon, the Twilight cast has been finding some time to unwind in New York City. All while their li'l film dominates the box office.
Friday night Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart skipped out on the New Moon afterparty and opted for a more private party together at Avenue in NYC, even showing some PG PDA.
The couple also supposedly hit the town together last night.
Rob was photographed leaving trendy eatery Megu in Tribeca, but Kristen was nowhere in paparazzi sight.
How is it possible that they keep going to all these places without getting photographed together? Could it be because K.Stew just really wasn't there?
Reset Your Twilight Countdown Clocks for Eclipse
Summit Entertainment
All right, so we all saw New Moon at least twice this past weekend, right? (If only we had all seen it three times...) And it was pretty awesome or fun or terrible or whatever depending on your fandom level!
But it's really time we move on and reset our Twilight countdown for Eclipse. Today makes it about seven months and a week until our favorite gang of moody teenagers bring their tortured love triangle back to the big screen.
For now, all we've got is this new Eclipse poster, which hints that the third installment will be pretty cloudy. Ahhhhh! Cannot wait!

New Moon Poll: For Fanatics Only
Summit Entertainment
We know the box office for New Moon is going through the roof like a werewolf chasing a vampire bat or something, so obviously fans are digging it. Reviewers, of course, not so much.
But taking a cue from our modular review of New Moon, we've decided to do a poll for Twilight saga fanatics only.
So take the poll below and sound off in the comments section. (Note: We'll have another poll later for people who are barf-bucket sick of all these suckers, so store up that vitriol!)
Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Best Talk Show Moments
Happy New Moon weekend, everyone! We gotta hand it to Rob, Kristen and Taylor, they all worked so hard over the past month to promote their little vampire movie, which culminated last night in a three-way (pre-taped) interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now they can all go back to their normal lives. For Taylor that means pumping iron and practicing back flips all day, while Rob and Kristen lurk around the shadows of Chateau Marmont.
But before we say goodbye to the gang until they resurface for Eclipse this summer, we thought we'd put together our favorite moments from the past week's talk show appearances. (And there were a lot of them—Ellen, Conan, Leno, Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Today, Regis and Kelly.)
Usually they’re met with the same questions: Did you ever expect this to be so big? How is this movie different from the last? OMG, fans are so crazy, right? They scream so much! How did you bulk up to play Jacob Black? Are you dating Kristen? What do you think of your Barbie? Will you throw this football? (Both Taylor and Kristen had to do that, btw.)
Still, there were some fun moments to be had and we've compiled them all right here just in case you fell asleep while Taylor talked about his workout regime for the 13th time.
Let's see what we got:
Week in Review: New Moon Premiere, Oprah's Ending, Palin's Pussyfooting, Project Runway's Winner

Despite the fact that we all knew New Moon was coming and The Oprah Winfrey Show was going sometime soonish, the stars of both made major splashes this week every time they offered up even the weeniest tidbit of information for their adoring fans.
We, on the other hand, have offered up a tidal wave of info from the week gone by. You better dive in and start swimming...
Beating the Crap Out Of Robert Pattinson Edward
Kimberley French/Summit Entertainment
The thought of Robert Pattinson getting hurt is just too much too bear, isn't it?
But that's exactly what could have happened if anything had gone wrong during his and Daniel Cudmore's big, violent fight scene in New Moon.
Cudmore, the Tom Brady-esque hunkster who plays Volturi vampire Felix, said some of the stunts got a little too close for comfort when he and Pattinson went at it.
"Because of my contacts, my peripheral vision was off, so there were a couple of times where I thought I was going to really hit him," Cudmore recalled at the New Moon premiere in L.A. "Luckily, I didn't."
Maybe that's why Pattinson seemed a bit nervous when they first began working on the scene...
New Moon Spreading Like a Virus...Literally
Kimberly French/ Summit Entertainment
Kristen Stewart may cook a mean spam, but you don't want to taste her phish.
Internet scammers are taking advantage of Twilight fans and the rise of New Moon with an increased number of viruses, spywear and phishing schemes.
Especially be wary of the "vampire byte" that'll suck out your financial information and install malware on your computer faster than the Volturi can find your carotid.
So how do fanggirls avoid falling prey?
Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Private Party for Two

While most of the New Moon cast was at the official afterparty following last night's screening in New York, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart slipped away for some private quality time.
Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli all hit up the postscreening bash held at the Box. Ed Westwick also made a late appearance, with girlfriend Jessica Szohr arriving even later.
But Rob and Kristen were over at Avenue, holding court at a table upstairs with a bodyguard making sure people gave them their privacy—but no such luck.
Rob, trying to go incognito, wore a baseball cap, while Kristen was smoking a cigarette (which is illegal). Unlike the movie, there was no Taylor around, and Kristen seemed to only have eyes for Rob...

True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
HBO/Jaimie Trueblood
Alexander Skarsgård can't wait to start shooting the next season of True Blood.
"It's been like five or six months since I've seen most of them," Skarsgård, who plays vampire Eric on the hit HBO series, told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I miss the whole cast and crew. It's sort of my family away from my family in Sweden."
In the meantime, there is that other bloodsucking megahit phenomenon sweeping the world universe to keep everyone company. So, will Mr. Skarsgård be checking out New Moon?
"When does it open?" he said, smiling. "I'll get my sleeping bag and wait in line." (P.S.: Maybe Kate Bosworth will join him. The maybe-couple were quite adorable in their comfy coziness at the GQ party).
Now back to vampires, Skarsgård isn't the only one cracking jokes—at least we think he was joking—about camping out to see the return of Robert Pattinson & Co...

So let us get this straight. While millions of fans and hordes of paparazzi around the world are going bat-poop crazy trying to gain access to Hollywood's No. 1 It man, a petite little artist who was so shy she used to eat her lunch alone in a bathroom stall just—whoopsie!—bumped smack into him?
'Tis true. Oh yeah, and she also just so happened to win America's Next Top Model.
You know the drill: Along with the title, Nicole Fox receives a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl, management by Wilhelmina Models cover and a Seventeen magazine cover.
But now apparently there is a new prize: a backstage rendezvous with Robert Pattinson.
We spoke with Nicole this morning, and in addition to dishing the deets on her ANTM victory, she revealed her surprise run-in with the world's most celebrated vampire earlier today...
