In celebration of the first half of the final Twilight Saga installment, J-14 caught up with Taylor Lautner to talk all about Breaking Dawn, Part 1. He gave us the inside scoop on the now infamous imprinting scene, his emotional last day on set, and all of the ways he relates to Jacob's love for Bella in real life!

Q: First and foremost: Tell us all about the imprinting scene!
Taylor Lautner: Luckily we had Stephenie Meyer on set the entire time and, trust me, I asked her a million times, "Ok, explain to me one more time what imprinting is and did you ever envision what Jacob looked like, what is he doing when he's imprinting?" It was very, very confusing. And then it didn't help when we actually filmed it they put an "x" on the wall and said, "This is Renesmee. Walk in the room, look at the 'x' and you're going to imprint." It was tough!

Q: Were you at all bothered that Edward gets a hot vampire and all Jacob gets is a baby?
Taylor: I've gotten over that by now. But I remember the first time reading the book, I was like, "Wait, Jacob's been trying to get Bella this entire time and he strikes out so he goes for her child?" I was so confused. It took me a second. You have to tread lightly because it is a very special thing and it isn't romantic at all.

In honor of Breaking Dawn, Part 1's movie release weekend, J-14 has an interview with the leading lady of the Twilight Saga, Kristen Stewart. Kristen tells us all about being Bella in the final installment, how much of her character is like her real-life personality, and she even opens up about her favorite scene (Hint: it includes a walk down the aisle)!

Q: How was it different playing Bella in Breaking Dawn vs. playing her in the other films?
Kristen Stewart: Shooting the two movies at the same time, completely out of sequence, I was everywhere each day. In this movie, Bella's very much in her own head. Playing a vampire and a woman who's pregnant and a woman who's about to get married, literally sometimes all in one day or sometimes the same week, it's overwhelming!

Q: What was going through your mind walking down the aisle during the wedding scene?
Kristen: I had a million different things going through my head. I just kept telling myself, "Find yourself in this moment and appreciate it."

Attention all Twi-hards! If you can tear yourself away from re-watching Breaking Dawn, Part 1 in theaters over and over today, you need to see this video from the L.A. premiere earlier this week. J-14 caught up with Nikki Reed and new husband Paul McDonald, saw Peter Facinelli and Elizabeth Reaser snap some photos with fans, and even chatted with Rob Pattinson about Twilight vs. The Hunger Games and how he feels about the films ending.

Have you seen The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 yet?

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 finally hits theaters today! J-14 caught up with Rob Pattinson and chatted about his experiences from the beginning of it all to now, his favorite scenes from Breaking Dawn, Part 1, and what his own real-life wedding will be like!

Q: What's the journey been like for you from when you started filming Twilight to wrapping Breaking Dawn?
Rob Pattinson: I didn't even know if I was going to continue acting before this happened. Now, I have much more drive and passion. In the beginning, I just ignored that he was a vampire. He was just a troubled teenager who has a really simple story -- getting content with himself, which he does by finding a woman and having a child.

Q: Tell us all about the birth scene. Was it really as intense to film as everyone says?
Rob: I read the script before I read the book and I was astonished. It was terrifying going into it but it ended up being one of the most incredible scenes in the movie. Especially for Edward, he's always held back and been very objective and logical about everything, so having every character feel so desperate was something very, very different.

Want to be a part of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 premiere? You can be! Catch Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the Twilight gang walking the red carpet at the Nokia Theater in L.A.

According to Twilight star Rob Pattinson, he and on-screen wife Kristen Stewart are (sort of) married in real life too! At a recent press conference in Sweden, Rob revealed that Bella and Edward were actually married by a real priest while filming the Breaking Dawn wedding scene. "The wedding scene's funny because we used a real priest," Rob joked. "So, technically we are already married because he did all the things you would do in a normal ceremony!"

But no need to panic just yet, Twi-hards -- because the marriage isn't totally legal! "We don't have a civil union in law but I guess in the church, we're actually married," Rob explained.
