Broadway is about to get a little extra sparkle in those famous neon lights.

It was recently announced the Twilight musical is officially happening. Before you book your tickets to NYC (or, conversely, get the heck out of Times Square) you should know it’s not expected to have a very long run. Twilight: The Musical will make its off-Broadway debut as a one-night-only staged reading on January 16th, and the proceeds will benefit the charity Blessings in a Backpack.

The most exciting thing about this announcement may be the cast, and the plot teases their characters’ names give us. In addition to Bella and Edward, (who already sings a lullaby—why shouldn’t he also belt out a Broadway tune?) the name that gets me onboard is the totally awesome Lauren Lopez (Alice), who played Draco Malfoy opposite Darren Criss’ Harry Potter in the spectacular A Very Potter Musical.

A human girl in love with a vampire has become one of the most common concepts in pop culture. But Robert Pattinson dismisses vampire TV shows such as “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries” as “Twilight” copycats.

“It’s like that Coke versus Pepsi thing, and how Coke just said ‘There’s a reason everyone compares themselves to us,’” he said, according to Web site Hollywood Life. “‘Twilight’ was the original and everybody’s trying to copy it. They’re all just trying to jump aboard the ‘Twilight’ train.”

The third film in the “Twilight saga,” “Breaking Dawn Part 1″ opened last week and has already grossed more than $222 million. Meanwhile, stars Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who are a couple offscreen as well as on, spent some time together in London this week. The two were spotted at a Marcus Foster concert and were reported by witnesses to have their arms around each other, swaying to the music.

Stewart starred in pal Foster’s music video, “I Was Broken,” earlier this year. She is currently in the UK filming her new movie, “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

In 2008, the little-known cast of the upcoming movie “Twilight” posed for a Vanity Fair group shot. The movie — and the actors in it, including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner — went on to fame, fortune and lots of sequels. Here’s hoping the same mojo holds for “The Hunger Games.” In Vanity Fair’s latest issue, the movie’s young cast — anchored by star Jennifer Lawrence — pose in what we’ll now officially call the “Vanity Fair Teen Fantasy Movie Ensemble Shot.”

“The Hunger Games” — based on the popular young adult books by Suzanne Collins about a dystopian future where children are forced to battle gladiator style — is currently filming in North Carolina and expected to hit theaters in March 2012. Meanwhile, the next “Twilight” installment, “Breaking Dawn Part 1,” is due in theaters on Nov. 18, just in time for Thankgsgiving.

In addition to Lawrence, “The Hunger Games” stars (in the order pictured above, l-r) Isabelle Furhman, Jack Quaid (yep, his parents are Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan), Jacqueline Emerson, Dayo Okeniyi, Leven Rambin, Alexander Ludwig, Amandla Stenberg, Josh Hutcherson, Lawrence and, finally, Liam Hemsworth.

The over-30 members of the cast, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz, were not included in the pic. Also left out, 11-year-old Willow Shields, who plays Lawrence’s younger sister, Prim.

While we were très disappointed Kristen Stewart didn’t make an appearance during the Breaking Dawn Paris promos (come on, like we really wanted to see Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene together), we were very pleased with the deets Rob spilled.

Like, whether he will really ever record an album? And why he’s so over London…

But wait, isn’t that his GF’s current location?!

It is, indeed, as K.Stew is busy filming Snow White and the Huntsman, and after spending some quality time with his love last week, Rob realized while chatting with TF1 that he might be more suited for L.A.:
