Twilight star Robert Pattinson hit by Cab in New York

According to multiple sources, “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson was grazed by a taxi Thursday afternoon (June 18) in New York while filming his upcoming drama ”Remember Me.” The “Twilight” star was reportedly fleeing from hysterical fans at the time of the near-accident.

RadarOnline.com is claiming to have witnessed it all, saying that he was “clipped” by the cab as it zoomed past him in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street. Pattinson had been inside the bookstore for most of the morning shooting “Remember Me” — a film about two young lovers dealing with family tragedies — and when he emerged from the bookstore, swarms of fans descended upon him. As five security guards tried to escort RPattz across the street in the rain, the taxi grazed the actor.

MTV News reached out to Pattinson’s manager, as well as “Twilight” studio Summit Entertainment, for more information — as of press time, neither had a comment about the incident.

According to reports, the taxi made contact with Pattinson’s hip. The nearby fans reacted with shock, a stunned RPattz stood in the middle of the road, and the cab driver slammed on his brakes when he realized what had happened. Reportedly, a bodyguard screamed at the fans, “You see what you did, you almost killed him!”

The event comes just a few days after video emerged of Pattinson and his security team being mobbed by “Twilight” fans telling the actor “We love you!” and attempting to hug him. Pattinson will be in Manhattan for the next four weeks shooting “Remember Me,” which co-stars “Lost” actress Emilie de Ravin.

“As yet, it’s still untitled at the moment,” Pattinson said of the film when we caught up with him recently at the MTV Movie Awards. “It’s a kind of drama, love-story kind of thing. It’s cool; it’s a really great script.”

Twilight Fans freak over new trailer

here were plenty of “Twilight” moments packed into Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards — Kristen and Rob’s almost-kiss, the Best Movie win, Kristen’sfumbled Golden Popcorn — but the one thing fans can’t stop talking about (or watching) is that long-awaited ”New Moon” trailer.

“I’ve watched the trailer so many times, I have it memorized,” MTV reader MissyTwilighter32109 wrote. “[It was] better than I thought it would be. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 20th. It seems like they finally got it right this time.”

Since the clip debuted less than 24 hours ago, Twilighters have taken to our comments sectionsto express their excitement for the film. Let’s just say, the fans are pleased.

“OMG. I am still freaking out and have not come down from the high I felt watching the new trailer,” NessieCullen wrote.

“WOW! I cannot stop watching it. And every time, I get goose bumps. I love everything! Especially Jacob!” Garrettbw echoed the praise.

While it may be too early to tell, if our superfans are any indication, it looks like the breakout star of “New Moon” will be Taylor Lautner.

“I [was] slightly concerned with how it will compare to the book, but once I saw Taylor Lautner burst into a CGI wolf, I [was] hooked!!” Munkygirl23 wrote.

Twilightgirl2316 is also on Team Jacob. “Jacob looks SO hot. I stopped breathing!!!!! The wolf looks amazing, just like I pictured. I don’t want to wait until November. It’s not fair!!!”

And though Lautner himself told us he thought the werewolf scene was “so cool,”some fans aren’t as sold on the special effects.

“AMAZING!” Zenster posted. “Except for the wolf. It looks like a cuddly stuffed animal.”

“Hated hated hated the wolf also (so has everyone else I’ve talked to that I know). I really hope they make it better by the time it hits the big screen,” Peebo55 wrote.

But one thing the Twilighters seem to agree on is that the film’s November release date can’t come soon enough.

MTV user Alicia put it simply: “I want the movie to come NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!”

Our Favorite Twilight MTV Movie Awards moments

UNIVERSAL CITY, California — At Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards, the world finally learned what millions of loyal fans have known for some time: “Twilight” rocks!

We also learned plenty about the cast of the hit film — like the fact that they have lots of celebrity admirers, they get embarrassed when caught with their shirts off, and they enjoy running through tourists in the middle of the night to make their escape.

Although the night yielded many memorable “Twilight” moments, here are our top five:

5. Andy Samberg’s Opener
Sure, the “Saturday Night Live” funnyman spoofed “Slumdog,” “Trek” and others while kicking off the night’s festivities, but it was his love-struck moment with Edward Cullen that got some of the biggest laughs of the night. And who knew that Taylor Swift was a student at Forks High? Maybe Andy could title his next viral video “Cullenlover.”

4. RPattz Breaks Through
A new noise-level record might have been set at the Gibson Amphitheatre when Robert Pattinson won Breakthrough Male Performance and took the stage to accept his award. First, presenter Jonah Hill jumped up and down like a teenage girl — then Rob delivered what might be the line of the night. “I don’t know how many more of these awards I can come up for,” he said with his signature mix of British charm and eccentricity. “Because I think there’s a little bit coming out of my pants right now.”

3. Kristen and Rob Fake Us Out
Remember a few years back, when Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling celebrated their “Notebook” win by giving us a Movie Awards moment to remember? Well, in the weeks leading up to this year’s awards, Twilighters had been hoping RPattz and KStew might do the same, and apparently, they’d heard the buzz. Rob carefully removed his gum, inched closer and closer toward a seductive Kristen, until their faces were against each other — and then Kristen turned away at the last second to say, “Thank you so much!” Let’s just hope that Rob had a cold shower waiting for him backstage.

2. ”New Moon” Rising
After a brief moment when Andy Samberg faked out Twilighters worldwide, the stars of the series took the stage to unveil the real “New Moon” trailer. The video swept across the world like wildfire, got glowing reviews from ”Twilight” fans and launched a coming-out party for Taylor Lautner as the series’ other heartthrob. “Get your TiVos ready,” Lautner grinned while introducing the clip. “You’re gonna want to watch this more than once.”

1. Best Movie
There is no higher honor to be given at the MTV Movie Awards, and on Sunday night, it was handed to the overjoyed cast of a cultural phenomenon that few had heard about before last year’s ceremony. As Catherine Hardwicke and her sexy cast crowded onstage to give praise to Stephenie Meyer, millions of “OME!” shrieks poured out from bedroom windows all over the world. Now, with “New Moon” and additional sequels on the way, the only question is whether they can pull off a “Lord of the Rings”-like sweep of future ceremonies as well.

Unlikely Twilight Celebrity Fans rave about Film

The franchise can already count millions of screaming girls as devotees, but “Twilight” can add some Hollywood heavyweights to its list of superfans. In a Movie Awards night packed with many unexpected moments, some unlikely celebrity Twilighters were also exposed. From Denzel Washington to Will Ferrell, it looks like just about everyone has “Twilight” fever.

MTV News caught up with Washington and his daughter, Olivia, who gushed about her love for the film and, of course, Robert Pattinson. Olivia said “Twilight” was “really good” and assured everyone that it’s not “just a chick flick.” While Washington admitted that he hasn’t actually seen the film yet, he promised to make a movie night out of it with his daughter. “We’ll watch it when we go on vacation,” the actor said.

“High School Musical” stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens may have been in a PDA showdown with Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the Best Kiss category, but Efron put aside any beef and graciouslyhailed Twilight as a “great film” on the red carpet and said the Edward/Bella lip-lock was “a great kiss.”

That kiss also brought out the inner superfan in Stephanie Pratt. When Sway caught up with Pratt after the show, the “Hills” star pegged the “Twilight” Best Kiss acceptance speech as her favorite moment of the night, but couldn’t hide her disappointment that Kristen and Rob didn’t smooch for real.

“When Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson … were so close and the whole auditorium was like, ‘Are they gonna? Are they gonna?’ Then they didn’t! But I was, like, dying to see them kiss.” Pratt gushed on her way to the show’s afterparty.

And you may have been a little confused when Will Ferrell was seen clapping enthusiastically during the now-infamous almost-kiss, but MTV News got the inside scoop: Ferrell is a closet Twilighter.

When the comedian was asked if he was a fan of the movie, he gave a true-to-form quick response. “Obviously,” he said. “It’s a gimme. You look at me, you’re like Twiiii-liiight,” Ferrell joked. And as for what “Twilight” team the “Land of the Lost” star supports? “I’m kinda Team Edward, I’m kinda Team Jim, I’m kinda Team … Stanley.”

OK, so Ferrell may not know all the movie’s characters, but he did go on to profess his love for everyone’s favorite brooding vampire. Ferrell confessed he tried [unsuccessfully] to meet Pattinson all night. “He [kept] going, ‘Not now, not a good time.’ ” (We’re not sure how serious he was about all this!)

One celeb that did get to meet the heartthrob backstage was Abigail Breslin. The “Little Miss Sunshine” star officially became the envy of teenage girls everywhere and even got to shake Pattinson’s hand. The star jumped up and down in excitement after the encounter.

And finally, Kings of Leon may have been busy giving the crowd a rocking performance onstage, but backstage they showed love for the Best Movie winner.

“I really liked ‘Twilight’ a lot,” singer Caleb Followill told MTV News. “It was a cool, generational kind of movie. I thought it was really pretty.”
