Well, well now … what have we got here? It appears that Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford and Twilight’s Ashley Greene are new close friends as the pair were seen snogging up a storm in the back of her limo as she made her way to the airport bound for Vancouver, BC earlier this morning. Chace and Ashley both attended the 2009 Teen Choice Awards last night and clearly hit it off with one another:

No word on whether or not this is a new fling, the beginning of a new relationship or a one-time thing but I’m sure these two are breaking hearts all over the place. My guess is that this was just a one time thing (tho one wonders what exactly went on betwixt the two of them last night leading up to this smoochy goodbye) but who knows … perhaps we’ll be seeing Chace and Ashley lockin’ lips again in the future.

Last night tweens of all ages convened at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City here in LA for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. While the show doesn’t air on TV until tonight, the whole shebang was filmed last night. Britney Spears was on hand to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, the Ultimate Choice Award, from the Teen Choice folks but it was Twilight that cleaned up … taking home 11 surf board trophies. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals and some deets from last night’s affair:

“Twilight” struck a vein at the Teen Choice Awards. The adolescent vampire drama dominated Sunday’s ceremony with 11 wins, including choice movie drama, romance, liplock, rumble and soundtrack. Kristen Stewart won the movie drama actress category while Robert Pattinson picked up two surfboard-shaped trophies — one for movie drama actor, another for male hottie. “We’ll see you guys in theaters November 20th,” co-star Taylor Lautner teased the squealing crowd. Lautner and Ashley Greene, who will appear alongside Stewart and Pattinson in the upcoming “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” were honored as the male and female movie fresh faces while Cam Gigandet was crowned movie villain. “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke joined the cast on stage to accept the adaptation’s pack of trophies. The Teen Choice Awards, which were selected by over 83 million votes cast online, honor celebrities in TV, film, music and sports. Several winners — including 16-year-old Miley Cyrus and show hosts the Jonas Brothers — took home multiple trophies at the 11th annual ceremony at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Gibson Amphitheatre. Cyrus sailed away with six awards, winning for comedy TV show and actress for “Hannah Montana;” music/dance movie actress and hissy fit for “Hannah Montana: The Movie;” music single for “The Climb” and summer song for “Before the Storm” with the Jonas Brothers. Cyrus also presented Britney Spears the ultimate choice award. “I’m a huge fans of hers,” Cyrus said before a subdued Spears accepted her own surfboard. The Jonas Brothers won five trophies, including choice male red carpet icons. They kicked off the show performing on a tiny stage that moved through the audience. Throughout the taped ceremony, the trio completed dares submitted by fans. At one point, younger brother Nick was challenged to hug a lineup of female fans. “It’s just hugs,” Joe cautioned the women. “You’re not going for long-term relationships here, girls.” Other big winners included “Gossip Girl” and Zac Efron. Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick picked up TV drama actor, actress, villain and TV series awards for the sudsy CW show while Efron won for music/dance movie actor in “High School Musical 3″ and comedy movie actor and rockstar moment in “17 Again.” The ceremony itself was peppered with several odd moments. Kathy Griffin arrived on the red carpet with Levi Johnston, the teenage ex-fiance of Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Mike Tyson took shears to Joe Jonas’ head as part of stunt. And before presenting the choice hottie awards, comedian Dane Cook pleaded to Vanessa Hudgens to keep her clothes on. The Teen Choice Awards is scheduled to air Monday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

LOL! Yes, it was Dane Cook’s shout-out to Vanessa Hudgens’s nekkid pics that was the TRUE highlight of the show … which you can watch HERE just in case FOX decides not to air the interaction on TV tonight.

Twilight stars Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Noot Seear are joined by the ex-Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre in the new issue of Glamour magazine which went to press before the shocking announcement was made that Rachelle has been fired from the movie franchise. Titled Twilight Beauty, the ladies are featured in a photospread that is meant to highlight their natural as well as their made-up beauty … behold:

Clearly the whole piece was shot way before Rachelle was let go from her role in the upcoming third Twilight film Eclipse, cuz she looks way too happy in the photos. Poor thing. After the jump, check out individual photos of the ladies lookin’ all glammed up for the mag …

Early in the week we saw photos of the Twilight B-List make their way to Vancouver, BC to begin production on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and they were followed by star Taylor Lautner a couple of days later … today we get to see photos of Taylor chillin’ with the B-Listers (including Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jackson Rathbone and Xavier Samuel) at an impromptu get-together in Vancouver a couple of nights ago:

And so it begins … as you can see in the Kellan photo, new castmember Bryce Dallas Howard is standing next to Ashley Greene … she must be trying to ingratiate herself to the rest of the cast, which is smart. It looks like Taylor is ruling the roost with the other castmates, which is a bit different than the way the pecking order was the last time. Taylor is lucky he got to keep his role as Jacob Black cuz, as we learned from the firing of Rachelle Lefevre, any one in the Twilight cast is expendable. Now that he’s kept the role that has elevated him to one of the main stars of the film franchise, Taylor looks much much happier these days ;) I mistakenly mentioned that Robert Pattinson made his way to Vancouver with the rest of the cast (well, he is still “on his way”, he just hasn’t arrived yet and is still in Los Angeles) … so until he and/or Kristen Stewart get into town, Taylor is top dog amongst the Twilights in Vancouver. Not bad, pup.

With filming to begin shortly on the third installment of The Twilight Saga, the support cast of newest sequel film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse have begun making their way to Vancouver, BC this week in preparation. While the big stars — Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner — prolly won’t be flying in to town until the last minute, the support staff has to arrive early. Here are pics of Kellan Lutz (who plays Emmet Cullen), Ashley Greene (who plays Alice Cullen), Xavier Samuel (who plays Riley, Victoria’s newborn vampire) and the newly cast Bryce Dallas Howard (who plays Victoria, taking over for Rachelle Lefevre who was unceremoniously fired from the role just last week) arriving in Vancouver last night:

As you may already know, Kellan and Ashley play members of the central vampire family (the Cullens) in the film and Bryce plays the evil vampire Victoria who is hellbent on killing Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) for her role in the killing of her beloved companion James (played in Twilight by Cam Gigandet) who was actually slaughtered by hero vamp Edward (played by Robert Pattinson) while saving Bella. Xavier will play Riley, a newborn vampire created by Victoria to lead her army of vamps against the Cullens and their tenuous werewolf friends (lead by Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner) who are banded together to protect the life of the very human Bella. Ye gods, you just *know* a story this epic is going to be AWESOME! Well, we’ll see. The other castmembers of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse should be streaming into Vancouver all week long … so get ready, Canucks. The vampires are coming.

Hold on to your fangs, y’all! Well, OK, not your fangs ‘cuz Twilight vampires don’t have silly fangs but … hold on to something. Spoiler TV has posted over 100 photos of the cast of The Twilight Saga: New Moon backstage on the Vacouver, Canada set of their new movie:

In order to not risk spoiling anything for anyone (and thereby avoiding the wrath of any rabid Twilighters), I’m putting the pics I’ve selected to feature behind the cut. After the jump, check out a whole slew of photos of the Twilight gang hangin’ out backstage on set — some are in costume, some are in wigs and some are smokin’ up a storm …

E! Online’s Marc Malkin is reporting today that Robert Pattinson, who famously rocked a luxurious and wild head of messy hair before cutting it all off last month, may have gotten into a bit o’ trouble with his Twilight bosses for gettin’ the haircut. Ashley Greene, who played Alice Cullen in the Twilight movie and who dished that Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater in the upcoming sequel New Moon, spilled to Malkin that she “heard he got in trouble for cutting his hair”:

Ashley Greene still thinks Twilight star Robert Pattinson is “totally adorable,” but she’s not thrilled he cut off his signature long locks. “I heard he got in trouble for cutting his hair,” Greene, who will return in the much-anticipated Twilight follow-up, New Moon, as vampire beauty Alice Cullen, told us last night at the In Style/WB Golden Globes afterparty. “But what can I say? I like guys with longer hair.” She promises not to raz the British hottie too much about the new ‘do. “I think he’s getting enough flack, I’m sure,” she said. “I mean his every move is recorded and photographed and documented, so I’m not going to give him a hard time.”

Greene goes on to say that the entire cast is THRILLED that Taylor Lautner has been allowed to retain the role of Jacob Black in the upcoming sequel, saying, “Everyone loves him. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to think that someone could replace him.” She goes on to say that fans should not be concerned about any changes that may happen to the plot of New Moon, she promises “they’re keeping it fairly close to the book.”

I, too, am happy that Lauter will be playing Jacob in New Moon and I’m encouraged that they plan on keeping the plot “fairly close” to the book but I suspect there will still be major changes in the movie version (ie. more Edward Cullen). I’m not at all surprised that Robert Pattinson got busted for cutting his hair … showbiz bigwigs are notorious for getting pissy when their stars make drastic changes to their look. I liked Rob’s new haircut but I’m sure he’s already hard to work growing it back as fast as he can in time to begin shooting scenes for this year’s sequel.
