Elena Kagan - Death Sentence for Bad 'Twilight' Joke
Apparently, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan isn't a fan of "Twilight" ... 'cause at today's Senate confirmation hearing, the gun critic shot down a terribly delivered "joke" question about "Twilight" like she was Annie frickin' Oakley.
The super uncomfortable exchange all went down when Sen. Amy Klobuchar had the floor ... and informed Kagan that she had just watched the "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" movie ... and wanted to know if Kagan was Team Jacob or Team Edward.

'Twilight' Lawsuit - That's Our Moonlit Forest!
Find a successful movie and TMZ will find a corresponding lawsuit alleging a shameless ripoff. Case in point - "Twilight."
Summit Entertainment, which owns the trademark to the stylized TWILIGHT trademark, is suing a company that is selling a "Twilight" DVD.
Here's the short story. Summit is releasing a "Twilight" documentary on DVD next month to correspond with the DVD release of "New Moon." The documentary cover features the title, "Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town," along with an image of a moonlit forest of trees. The back cover features photos of Bella's truck and the "Welcome" sign in Forks, Washington.
Summit claims the defendant, Topics Entertainment, sent copies of a flyer to Best Buy, Sam's Club and Target, advertising its own documentary titled, "Forks: Bitten by Twilight." Summit claims the art on the cover is very similar to the trademarked art and therefore deceptive.
Summit wants to put a quick end to the Topics documentary, asking a judge for an injunction and all sorts of damages.

Kristen Stewart -- Key Player in Prostitution Case
Kristen Stewart's civic duty involved sex, prostitutes and an undercover cop -- and the guy on trial even got a happy ending.
TMZ has learned Stewart was a member of an L.A. jury this week in a 3-day case involving a man accused of trying to pay an undercover cop for some temporary lovin'.
The defense argued that their client was innocent because he doesn't speak English very well and the whole sex solicitation thing was just a case of lost in translation.
In the end, the "Twilight" star -- along with her peers -- agreed with the defense and found the man not guilty.
After the trial, we're told Stewart was so proud of her contribution to society that she asked if she could keep her juror badge ... and they let her.
Taylor Lautner On the Prowl
Taylor Lautner said Taylor Swift's Grammy wins last night were "amazing" -- but not nearly as amazing to 12-year-old girls as the other news he dropped on us: He's single.
When asked if he had someone special for Valentine's Day this year, the 17-year-old said "I wish."
Team Jacob fans ... this is your chance.

Tiger's Alleged Mistress #3 -- Back on the Job
Tiger Woods' alleged mistress #3 has finally returned to the Vegas club scene -- and this weekend she was already kickin' it with another big star.
Kalika Moquin -- who has vehemently denied an affair with the philandering golf pro -- texted away at The Bank nightclub during a birthday party for "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone Saturday night. We're told Kalika -- who's now working as a VIP host at the club -- was all business that night.
But Sunday, she let it all hang out -- literally -- donning a breastacular Mrs. Claus costume for "The Annual Vegas Socialite Christmas Party."
Wonder what she's getting in her stocking this year?

Twilight Stars Snatched from Burger King
There's a "Twilight" crime wave sweeping the nation -- particularly at Burger King restaurants -- and all the suspects seem to be the most fearless creatures on the planet ... teenage girls with a crush.
TMZ has learned multiple Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting life-size promotional posters of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are being ripped right off the BK windows in broad daylight ... horrible time for a vampire.
So far, the interstate theft has affected BKs in Maine, Delaware and Montana. One Burger King rep tell us, "The girls just walk up in the middle of the day ... rip off the posters and run ... we've had to replace them over and over."
TMZ went to the BK web page while researching this story ... and totally got distracted by the Subservient Chicken thing. FYI -- you can totally make him pee on the couch.

Judge Slams Person Suing 'Twilight' Creator
A sinister plot against "Twilight" creator Stephenie Meyer has been exposed in court -- and it's all over an allegation that Meyer stole the idea for her vampire empire from someone else!
A judge slammed competing vampire author Jordan Scott, claiming her accusation that Meyer ripped off a book called "The Nocturne" was "deceptive" -- not to mention completely unfounded.
As TMZ previously reported (Spoiler alert!) Scott alleged the wedding, consummation and birth scenes in Meyer's book "Breaking Dawn" were suspiciously similar to scenes from "Nocturne" -- but the judge ripped Scott, saying she had "twice manipulated aspects of the subject works in order to create the appearance of similarity."
The case was officially dismissed.
