It may have been the coolest moment in the recently-released second trailer for Eclipse:

Victoria’s army of vampires emerges from the water and gets into line behind Riley. The latter character is played Xavier Samuel, an actor unafraid to take on Robert Pattinson in an edition of Who Would You Rather…

But will movie goers be scared of this vengeful blood sucker? Oh yes, judging by the photo MTV released this week of Riley and company. Check it out now…

Riley, Victoria and those seeking to destroy the Cullens will storm into theaters on June 30.

If you love The Hills, last night’s premiere (Season 6, Episode 1) was a doozy. If you’re so over The Hills by now, this episode is probably a classic example of why.

“Put on a Happy Face” featured Heidi Montag’s family trying to do just that … staring at her face and the rest of her body after 139 unnecessary plastic surgeries.

The Hills final season debut should have come with a “Warning: Disturbing Images” disclaimer. Below, THG breaks down the action using our patented +/- scale:

They should show a close-up shot of Heidi Montag’s fake boobs in their hilarious glory as The Hills title card. Although those things are more like a mountain range.

Is it just us or are all of these chicks skinnier, meaner and more annoying than ever? Did MTV unveil new protocol for these mean girl anorexic fembots? Minus 9.

Lo is a full-time cast member at last! Plus 4!

Kristin Cavallari can’t believe she’s accused of drug use … despite staying out until 8 a.m. and looking like a stick figure. Minus 5. Where would they get that idea?

A face only a mother could love… and even she has a hard time.

Let’s run down Heidi Montag’s plastic surgery in her own words: “I got a slight eyebrow lift and that’s why I got these staples in my head. I had my nose redone, I had my own fat injected into my cheeks. I had my ears pinned back. I had injections into my lips. I had my chin shaved down. I had my breast redone, and my back shaped… and I had a little bit of inner and outer lipo.” No points, we just had to.

Heidi’s mother Darlene reacts honestly to her daughter’s absurd plastic surgeries, asking “why [she] would want to look like Barbie?” Our thoughts exactly. Plus 18.

After Heidi Montag prods further, Darlene says looked “younger and fresher-looking” before. Minus 6, ’cause Heidi would so cry if her face weren’t frozen in place.

Kristin is, like, mad that Brody Jenner is flirting with Audrina Patridge. We love Brody, but why keep recycling the same three guys as fake love interests? Minus 7.

Hard partying Kristin denies she’s got a problem.

Wearing sunglasses indoors doesn’t make you look cool, Kristin. Minus 4.

Nice of Stephanie to make it out of rehab in time for filming. Plus 3.

Heidi tells her fam they “live in the mountains and wouldn’t understand.” LOL, as if Crested Butte, Colo., were some backwards, classless, hillbilly dump. Plus 11.

This isn’t related, but Spencer Pratt is reportedly on the outs with the show after he refused to start a physical fight with Holly Montag. Yes, Spencer Pratt. Plus 5.

TOTAL: +10. The “reality” of The Hills is always debated, but it more or less on display last night, and we know this because we cover the cast’s actual lives daily.

We much prefer episodes like this, whatever the annoyances, to absurd, contrived plot lines such as Speidi’s baby argument or Kristin and Justin Bobby “dating.”

She might never win an Oscar, but Jessica Alba has a few things going for her:

1. She’s a fantastic mother to adorable daughter Honor.
2. Chinese women really want to look like her.
3. Her naked body is more desirable than that of Christina Aguilera.

Alba turns 29 today and we’d like to send the actress the very best of wishes. Won’t you do the same?

Below, we’ve posted a photo montage of Jessica, as there’s only one gift we can think of for a star that has everything: thousands of readers drooling over her beauty. Enjoy!

Also, Saddam Hussein would have turned 73 today, but we totally helped kill that guy. USA! USA!

It might not get any cuter than Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani and their children. Just look at the family on Halloween last year.

Conversely, it doesn’t get much uglier than Courtney Love, especially when she appears on The Howard Stern Show and tries to break up Gavin and Gwen by making wild accusations.

Such was the case yesterday, as the Hole singer randomly went off on Rossdale’s abilities in the sack, saying:

“He was such an Adonis in his day… He got good in bed… something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know.”

Wait, Stern interjected, does that mean Love slept with Gavin both before and after he was married? Yes, she claims, adding that Rossdale also cheated on Stefani with “a few other people” and:

“We didn’t have a lot of pressure on each other, but we did like each other quite a bit. We had a really good time.”

We have no idea of Courtney is telling the truth, but study the photo above. Now look at Gwen Stefani. Need we say more? Gavin’s defense rests.

The Shania Twain pulled into the station this week, and two American Idol finalist sent a message to Crystal Bowersox:

This isn’t over yet!

Okay, it probably is. Bowersox didn’t hurt her standing as the clear season nine favorite last night, but Siobhan Magnus and Casey James both stood out during country night. We rank the six contestants’ performance below:

1. James: He was asked to mix it up, to do more than just rock out with his guitar, and Casey came through this week. He chose the ballad “Don’t!” and really showed off his voice. Easily the best male remaining in the competition.
2. Magnus: On “Any Man of Mine,” Siobhan hit every note and then some. Never lacking for range or repeating the same performance from week-to-week, her originality is probably all that stands in the way of Crystal and the season nine title.
3. Michael Lynche: Big Mike channeled Luther Vandross for “It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing.” With all the guys choosing slower songs, Lynche gets the nod over every dude by Casey because he connects so well with the audience.
4. Bowersox: The judges didn’t love her acoustic take on “No One Needs to Know,” but let’s face it: any performance would have paled compared to “People Get Ready” from last week.
5. Lee DeWyze: Still could end up in the final pairing, but not if he has to sing any more country songs. Just looked uncomfortable trying to make “You’re Still the One” into his own.
6. Aaron Kelly: This should be an easy choice. We didn’t expect Aaron to make it this far, but it’s time to send him home.

Who was your favorite performer of the night?
