Do Taylor Lautner's friends call him "Sharkboy"? Is Robert Pattinson keeping up with the Kardashians? Has Peter Facinelli ever killed a man? These are the burning questions that MTV News has bravely asked the cast of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" in the latest edition of the universally beloved worldwide phenomenon known as The Yes/No Show.

Cast favorites like Pattinson, Lautner, Elizabeth Reaser, Facinelli, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Julia Jones and Booboo Stewart all participated in what has got to be our biggest contestant pool to date. So does Lautner only eat Slim Jims and drink Fanta? Has Pattinson seen Kristen Stewart's early film "Zathura"? Can Rathbone name two Justin Bieber songs? Find out by watching the above video, and let us know what you think of the "Breaking Dawn" special in the comments section below or on Twitter!

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: There are three things we like our Jackson Rathbone doing best: singing, being a sexy vampire and just being sexy in general. This next video includes two of those three things.

No, you're going to have to wait until Sunday's MTV Movie Awards until we unveil the brand-spanking new exclusive "Breaking Dawn" trailer, but this will help tide you over until then: Jackson Rathbone singing all the nominations for the Best Line award category, while playing guitar. We did warn you it was sexy.

After touching down in La La Land yesterday and making our first and very wise stop at In-N-Out Burger, we're now energized, caffeinated up to our eyeballs and ready to attack our first full day in the celeb-filled run-up to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.

We join events already in progress: things truly got started on Monday evening, during the first of our five sneak-peek events, when we sat down with "Fright Night" star Christopher Mintz-Plasse and director Craig Gillespie for an early look at their horror remake and an extended chat about the project. Then on Tuesday, it was time for a conversation with the stars of "The Art of Getting By," a Sundance fave earlier this year. Emma Roberts, Michael Angarano, Elizabeth Reaser and director Gavin Wiesen stopped by to introduce a clip, then stuck around to discuss their indie about a lonely student (Freddie Highmore) and the unlikely friendship he strikes up with Roberts' charismatic and complicated teen girl.

And now the real action starts. This afternoon, we'll be trekking across the concrete corridors of Los Angeles to talk to "Breaking Dawn" star Jackson Rathbone. And "Jackass" fav Steve-O will be swinging through Universal City, where the MTV News offices are located all week -- just a few hundred yards from where the Movie Awards will take place on June 5 at 9 p.m. ET. Then at night, sneak peek #3 kicks off with the summer comedy, "Horrible Bosses." Director Seth Gordon will present an exclusive clip before diving into a chat about how Jason Bateman and his onscreen cohorts hatch a plan to kill their nasty workplace superiors. As always, you can tweet your questions @MTVNews using the hashtag #spw.

It's gonna be a hectic day, but really it's just the beginning. In-N-Out and a love for what we do will keep us powering through until show night. Keep it locked to Movies Blog all week for everything there is to know about the 2011 MTV Movie Awards!

I just had an amazing interview with Jackson Rathbone, a.k.a. Jasper from the "Twilight" franchise and the star of "The Last Airbender"! We went to the John Varvatos store in West Hollywood, where I helped him pick out the perfect red carpet outfit for this Sunday's Movie Awards! First I peppered him with some questions my twitter followers asked, and he even told me who he thought would win in a fight between Jasper and Sokka!

Then he tried on three outfits, all which were great but there was one that really stood. Which outfit did he pick? Check back here for more updates!
