Twi-hards have yet another actor to feast upon – “The Pacific” star Rami Malek has signed for the second part of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.

The 29-year-old actor will play Benjamin, a vampire who is a member of an Egyptian coven. His character has the ability to influence the elements of earth, wind, water and fire.

Rami, who is also know for his roles in both of the “Night at The Museum” movies, will also appear on the big screen with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in the upcoming “Larry Crowne.”

“Breaking Dawn – Part 1” hits theaters on November 18, 2011, with the second installment coming to the big screen on November 16, 2012.

Summit’s “Eclipse” earned a whopping $30 million in over 4,000 theaters Tuesday night, enough to become the all-time highest-grossing movie for midnight runs.

The franchise’s third outing, which surpassed “Twilight” predecessor “New Moon” ($26.3 million) for the late-night crown, will expand to 4,416 U.S. locations today. Large-screen exhib Imax posted north of $1 million from 192 engagements, a record-setting take for the company.

I’m going to see it today! So excited!! Have you seen it yet? What do you think?

Boooo! Byron Beck is the Portland authority on Entertainment News, and when he sent me this information, I was a little bummed! It was nice to see my hometown in the first Twilight movie!

The cast and crew of the fourth and fifth cinematic installments of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, have no plans of shooting either of the films in, or around, Portland, Oregon according to Byron Beck.

There was a rumor floating around that Summit Entertainment might return to the same Portland-based spaces as they did for the original Twilight film. But, alas, it’s not looking good for the return of the glittery vampires.

In fact, for the first time in the series it doesn’t even look they are going to shoot in the Northwest.

Rather, it looks like Bella and Edward will be “betrothed” somewhere in the deep South, possibly Alabama.

Now, how director Bill Condon is ever going to find pine trees in the deep South that look like they grew in Forks, Wash. is way beyond me.

But, hey, if the South works for True Blood, it’ll probably work just fine to wrap up this story too.

Filming is set to for late 2010 to early 2011.

Bonus: Byron also shared this never-before-seen-picture of Robert Pattinson on the set of Twilight!

What do you think of Kristen’s new auburn hair color? I think it looks great!

The Twilight films so far have been very mild in the sexy department, but that’s all about to change! Breaking Dawn will stay true to Stephenie Meyer’s book, with especially racy scenes between leading lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

“You will see sex – Yes!” Breaking Dawn and Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told PEOPLE at the Eclipse premiere in L.A. Thursday night. “The relationship [between Pattinson's Edward and Stewart's Bella] does go all the way in the book, so in the movie, it will as well. You are going to see more skin in Breaking Dawn than you did in the other films.”

But don’t expect any XXX antics. “Will it be pornographic? – That, I do not know,” Rosenberg said with a laugh. “I don’t know if it has to be R-rated, but it has to be what the book is, which means more skin. … I will definitely be writing more skin.”

The stars were out last night to support the premiere of Twilight: Eclipse! In attendance were Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Kardashian sisters, Willow and Jayden Smith, Elle Fanning and AnnaLynne McCord (Kellan’s girlfriend!).

The boys looked pretty good too at the premiere of Twilight: Eclipse. Though, I have to say I’m not a fan of Kellan Lutz with dark brown hair, he’s much hotter with blonde hair. And while I don’t think red suits are sexy either, somehow Robert Pattinson pulls it off!

Peter Facinelli is sexy no matter what!!
