Cops tell TMZ the 17-year-old girl who claimed a rabid "Twilight" fan bit her on the neck while she was leaving a screening of the movie was lying through her teeth ... and now the false claim could end up biting her in the ass.
Erin Westrate initially told cops a male in his 40s bit her on the neck at a movie theater in Norton Shores, Michigan after she saw "New Moon" on Friday night.
Cops say they grilled Westrate after a witness told cops they watched her leave the theater ... and didn't see any biting. We're told Westrate then came clean -- telling cops the alleged culprit was simply kissing her on the neck at the time and she was a "willing participant."
Detective Lieutenant Timothy LaVigne of the Norton Shores Police Department tells us Westrate could now face criminal charges for filing a false police report over the incident.
That $140 million "New Moon" pulled in is proof enough that you Twi-hards will watch anythingBella and Edward related -- so here's video of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson together last night at LAX.
Here's the kind of "Twilight" merchandise you really don't want your kids getting their hands on -- baggies of heroin with a cartoon of Rob Pattinson's face printed on them.
DEA Special Agent Erin McKenzie-Mulvey tells us the heroin baggies with "Twilight" characters were seized recently in West Hempstead, Long Island. The "Twilight"-themed baggies have been gaining popularity over the last couple of months.
New York Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride tells TMZ a dime bag of heroin in New York is cheaper than a six pack of beer.
With the "Twilight"saga blasting these stars to the tippy-top, it's easy to forget about when they were itty-bitty. See the New Moon cast then and now!
The "Twilight: New Moon" house is getting more attention than the realtor can handle -- except it's mostly from crazed fans who just want to get closer to Rob Pattinson ... you know, by sleeping on the same floors he once walked on.
TMZ spoke with Jason Soprovich, who tells us he's been inundated with emails from "house stalkers" -- mostly female Twi-hards who have no intention of buying the house and just want to stay there for a little while.
Because who knows ... maybe they'll find a strand of RPattz's hair lying around and their lives will be complete.
All the crazy emails aside, Jason's still close to selling the place -- so far, a few serious buyers have already expressed interest.
With the "Twilight: New Moon"movie flooding your brains, it's difficult to keep these beefcakes organized. So consider these photos your "Twilight" hottie homework.
Ryan Seacrest'sradio show came to a screeching halt last night after he asked "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson the most controversial, hard-nosed question in the history of questions ... what's the deal with you and Kristen Stewart?
As soon as Ryan asked the question -- apparently forbidden by the Twilight powers that be -- Pattinson's cold-blooded handler flipped out and pulled Robert right outta the chair.
Robert remained charming as he got up and left ... but the bottom line -- he still left.
Stephenie Meyer has sold over 70 million copies of her "Twilight" books and all she got was this $1 million house in the middle of the desert.
The 35-year-old author and her family live in this 5 bedroom, 3 bath suburban Phoenix home, which also features a swimming pool, basketball court and a batting cage.
Sure her crib is swanky for us mere mortals, but you'd think the mother of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan would live in a place that was absolutely to die for.
Hell hath no fury like a "Twi-hard" scorned ... fortunately, Kellan Lutz is one talented unscorner.
Amidst the chaos at last night's big Westwood premiere of "New Moon," one extremely passionate mama went off on some of the stars when they wouldn't stop to sign autographs.
But while her daughter wretched with embarrassment, mama's tactics eventually worked -- she somehow got Kellan's attention and the dude actually stopped to take some pics with her extremely lucky daughter!
Forget about the Wolf Pack or the Volturi -- the TwilightMOMS are the ones to watch out for.
"Twilight: New Moon" can drive you to the poor house .... that is, if you spend the $3.3 million asking price to buy the house featured in the flicks.
We've learned the Vancouver "Cullen House" -- three floors, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and with air once breathed by Robert Pattinson -- is now available for purchase ... but don't expect any "Twilight" stars to make another visit because the real estate agent tells us the studio's done with it.
We're also told the last owner is taking all of his "Twilight" memorabilia with him when he moves -- that really sucks.
Wearing a top found on a Poison tour bus back in the '80s and a multicolored skirt reconstructed from a pair of old lady ruffled bloomers -- emo princess Kristen Stewart avoided her hairstylist and walked the red carpet at a "New Moon" event in London on Tuesday.
Someone needs to drive a wooden stake through the heart of this.
The Good Samaritan who found the script for "Twilight: New Moon" in a St. Louis dumpster -- and then returned it -- says the reward she got from the movie's production company is actually costing her big-time in the end. Casey Ray tells TMZ she's grateful Summit Entertainment coughed up two tickets to the film's L.A. premiere and after party on November 16 -- but the cost of traveling expenses is biting her in the behind.
Ray says the round-trip tickets for her and her niece cost $1,200 -- plus another bundle to pay for a hotel and whatever other expenses the duo happens to rack up.
We spoke to a rep for Summit who says Ray's complaint comes as a complete surprise. The rep said Ray had no problems with the reward package -- which also includes a walk down the red carpet and a signed copy of the script by the movie's lead actors -- when she agreed on it back in May ... and Summit hasn't heard a peep from Ray since.
