This year’s Teen Choice Award winners were not exactly hard to predict. Taylor Swift won six awards, including the Ultimate Choice honor — sort of the Teen Choice Awards’ equivalent of a lifetime achievement award — for reflecting the feelings of so many adolescents via her country-pop songs about liking boys as well as breaking up with them.

The vampire franchise scoops five awards, including best movie for the third year running. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse took home five awards, including best male and female performance for stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

The "Twilight" gang has done it again, with the latest installment of the vampire franchise, "Eclipse," dominating the MTV Movie Awards nominations with eight nods, it was announced Tuesday.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," TV's "House M.D." and Eminem each won four awards at Wednesday's ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

Police are treating the death of a 23-year-old man at a Wellington cinema last night as unexplained but not suspicious.

Sure, Twilight Saga: Eclipse dropped from its crazy opening day of $68.5 million, and yes, The Last Airbender has been destroyed by critics. Even so, the holiday weekend’s two new wide releases scored enough business to make this year’s Fourth of July box office bigger than what Ice Age 3 and Public Enemies brought in at this time last year.

1. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse looks like $28.2M Friday after making $24.2M Thursday and opening to $68.5M Wednesday from 4,416 dates for a new cume of $120.9M. That could be $77.5M for the 3-day weekend, and $110M for the 5 days with a total of $178M for the 6-day July Fourth Holiday since Wednesday. However, one rival studio thinks Eclipse can get to a record-shattering $187M for the 6-day holiday. Yowza! That would put the pic well ahead of Spider-Man 2 which holds the July 4th holiday record with $180M. Overseas, Summit says Eclipse has opened to $19M from 22 territories.

The third episode of teen vampire saga debuted on Wednesday to a record-breaking $30 million box office in screenings just after midnight.
