The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz (and why)...

Our crack team of editors takes a closer look at the hottest trends on Yahoo! Buzz.

    Other than Sacha Baron Cohen landing fanny-first on an understandably agitated Eminem, the biggest story of MTV's Movie Awards had to be the trailer for "New Moon" (aka "Twilight 2"). The much anticipated clip premiered during the ceremony and set off a firestorm of searches.

    Throughout Sunday evening and well into Monday, lookups for "New Moon trailer" soared 388% until it landed among our top 100 overall queries. Related searches on "official new moon trailer" (+451%) posted huge gains as well. Why the need to search on the word "official"? Dedicated (some might say "obsessed") fans have created their own pseudo-trailers to "New Moon" and posted them online. While their efforts are no doubt appreciated, Twi-hards want to see the real deal.

    As is often the case on Yahoo!, star Robert Pattinson was absolutely huge in the Search box. Queries on the brooding heartthrob were up 30% — more impressive than it sounds considering that he's perpetually popular. Also seeing a surge following the MTV gala: "are robert pattinson and kristin stewart dating?". Everything we've read says they're just good friends. Still, Twi-hards can dream, can't they?

Everything you've read says they are just friends? just about every gossip blogger/journalist has been reporting that they are acting like they are more than just friends! get your info straight before you look like an uninformed amateur!

I hope the computer graphics for the wolves is going to be better than what was shown in the trailer. Looks way too computer generated to me, like something out of a video game.

It just goes to show you how piss poor the average movie viewer's taste is. Twilight has to be THE worst big screen movie since the first of the new Star Wars flicks (with the actors being even less realistic than Jar Jar).

Crap like this gets all the hype in the world. Meanwhile great, original horror like 'Eden Lake' and '100 Feet' go straight to video.

Pathetic.

I liked the trailer, I think the movie overall will be better than Twilight wherein I felt like there was no continuity in between scenes. I wouldn't hold my hopes up though. I would like to be surprised.

"It's my birthday."

I would say this movie was like watching a train wreck, but train wrecks are far more better than this load of crap! Geesh, maybe if I was like thirteen then I would have been somewhat interested in this pile of shinizzle!

I must say I was not impressed with the movie Twilight. I had no intentions on reading the books. However, I did and once I started reading them, I couldn't put them down. It was a phenominal read. Way better than Twilight.
I am not setting the bar to high on New Moon quite yet. Time will tell. New Moon was my least favorite book of the quad series.

I'll admit, I'm hooked on the Twilight series.
Vampires, werewolves and dry humping with my girlfriend.
That's what I live for.

The wolves do look computer generated, but most computer generated things tend to look, well, computer generated!:D
Anyways, Twilight the movie was good, but I thought it skipped around too much and was nothing compared to the book(obviously)
So I'm wondering since they've changed directors now if the movie will be better, I thought the trailer looked pretty good though:P.

For all the haters out there the New Moon movie is going to be as good as the book. My thing is if you don't like the book or the trailer well don't read it or watch it. You do have a choice and posting bad comments is not going to stop everyone in the world from reading the book or going to see the movie. All I can say is HATERS HATERS!!!!!! I love all 4 books and they all are great. I can't wait for the next two movies to come out because the last book should be the best one. Only the readers know what I am talking about. I am a TWILIGHT FAN and I have seen the original movie over and over and over. So for the haters just keep your comments to our self. The New Moon trailer is off the hook and it is a good movie. Can't wait until November gets here.

I was hoping the graphics for the wolves would be more like the description in the New Moon book instead of a regular wolf. Otherwise...I'm hooked!!!! If I could combine the personality and romance of Edward with the looks of Jacob = perfect man :)

I read the series and I do agree that the acting in the Twilight movie leaves something to be desired. I have never seen someone look so twitchy as "Bella" & "Edward" is mechanical in his movements. They both seemed to have loosened up by movies end. When making movies the director is allowed a certain amount of creative liscencing which means to fit the story to a movie. I just hope New Moon is marginally better than it predecessor. Anyone remember Anne Rices' Interview With a Vampire and then the movie? nuff sed

The trailer looks like they screwed up the whole Laurent scene with Bella seeing Jacob and what are they doing at his house? Don't get why they have to change it so much, irritating!

Ummm...hokey, NOT a vampire movie (vampires don't walk around in the daytime though all the idiots out there swooning about this don't even know their simple facts) and the lead couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag if it was already wet and sitting in water. Good visual effects though- if this was 1966.
