Read on to see some of her best looks, and find out how to re-create each, too.

A sit-down with actors Booboo Stewart and Tinsel Korey Monday at a Gold Coast hotel briefly turned into a point-counterpoint between the young co-stars of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

Korey, who plays the scar-sporting Emily in the “Twilight” films, felt the paparazzi can be intrusive and saw it firsthand with co-stars and tabloid targets Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Booboo? Well, judging from this conversation, you could say he’s Team Paparazzi.

“I thought it was cool,” said Stewart, who plays werewolf Seth Clearwater in “Eclipse,” about his first paparazzi encounter. “It was something that had never happened to me before. It was also kind of awkward, but it’s their job. It’s how they make their money.”

Korey begged to differ. “I don’t know if it’s their job,” she said. “I think they sometimes cross the line.” The 16-year-old Stewart responded, “They publicize you,” which drew a frown from Korey.

Counterpoint?

“I totally disagree,” she said before switching topics.

In any case, both could laugh about the paparazzi presence while shooting “Eclipse,” the third “Twilight” film, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Stewart saw photographers create a human pyramid to get a glimpse of filming. Korey, 30, estimated that there were three times as many photographers as there were for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the vampire series’ second film.

And then there are the fans.

“The female fans are pretty grabby,” Stewart said. “And some ask, ‘Can you give this note to … ?’ or, ‘Can you give this bracelet to … ?’ It happens to all of us.”

Stewart had seen some screaming fans before joining the “Twilight” series for “Eclipse,” in theaters Wednesday — his former band, T-Squad, toured with the Jonas Brothers.

“I think ‘Twilight’ madness is bigger,” he said. “The fans are so loyal — it’s incredible.”

When Korey joined the franchise, Kristen Stewart told her new co-star what she was getting into.

“I know when I got on ‘New Moon’ Kristen was telling me, ‘You never get used to this,’” Korey said. “It’s craziness. The fans are so invested.”

Opening in 4,416 theaters, the latest ‘Twilight’ film breaks record held by ‘Iron Man 2.’ Fans of “The Twilight Saga” are used to watching dreamy vampire Edward Cullen face down routinely shirtless werewolf Jacob Black over the heart of the beautiful Bella Swan — but it seems that Edward and Jacob have put aside their differences to team up against a new, unexpected opponent: Tony Stark.

Deadline Hollywood reports that “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” has already earned its first record without even officially landing in theaters. According to the report, “Eclipse” is currently slated to open in 4,416 theaters across North America, making it the single widest domestic release in Hollywood history. That same record was most recently held by Marvel Studios and Paramount’s “Iron Man 2,” which initially unspooled in 4,380 locations. Before that, “The Dark Knight” held the record in 2008 with 4,366 theaters.

There is currently no official count of how many locations plan to launch “Eclipse” with midnight showings on Wednesday (June 30).

Having already sunk its fangs into one record, the David Slade-directed “Eclipse” is well poised to cement its status in Hollywood history as it launches into theaters this week. In November, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” enjoyed a massive $140 million opening weekend, more than doubling the initial numbers for the first “Twilight” film. With the summer season in full session, there’s no telling how much damage “Eclipse” could do at the box office.

Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen in the “Twilight” movies, and “Hung” star Thomas Jane are in negotiations to join Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore in “LOL,” Mandate’s English-language remake of the French comedy.

Also joining the cast are Ashley Hinshaw and George Finn.

Liza Azuelos, who helmed the 2008 original, is directing the new pic produced by Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher.

The story centers on a teenage girl (Cyrus) who is dumped by her more sexually experienced boyfriend (Finn) while her divorcee mother (Moore) struggles to move on with her life.

Greene will play a high school bad girl, and Jane will be Cyrus’ father.

Hinshaw will play Cyrus’ best friend. Douglas Booth has already been cast as Cyrus’ love interest.

Greene, repped by Innovative Artists and McKeon Myones Management, next toplines “Apparition,” a supernatural thriller from Dark Castle and Warner Bros., and recently wrapped “Butter,” an indie comedy with Jennifer Garner and Hugh Jackman.

Jane, repped by CAA, garnered a Golden Globe nomination for portraying reluctant male prostitute Ray Drecker on HBO’s “Hung,” whose second season premiered Sunday. He recently starred in and directed the indie thriller “Dark Country.”

The ICM-repped Hinshaw appeared in “Fringe” and “Gossip Girl”; Finn has appeared in episodes of “90210″ and “How I Met Your Mother.”

At Monday night’s premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, we cornered Kristen Stewart and discovered something about her athletic skills (she literally outruns photographers), the athletic skills of her male counterparts in Twilight (their push-ups distract them from filming), and her working relationship with James Gandolfini on the set of Welcome to the Rileys (non-athletic, but challenging nonetheless). Like she says: “Whoa.”

With all the frenzy about the Twilight movies, what’s your best story about running or hiding from the paparazzi?

Um, the best is when you can just pull up to places before them, and I know that I can run faster than them. And that’s satisfying every single time, and that happens quite a bit, so …

Really? That happens a lot?

Yeah. I mean, they just can’t catch me, which is awesome. As long as the parking situation is okay, that’s always satisfying.

You can even outrun them in those Louboutin heels?

Definitely not.

Peter Facinelli has joked about how the guys in this series have to work out obsessively to remain buff.

Yeah.

Which one of the guys is the most vain and body-obsessed?

[Laughs.] Oh my gosh, I don’t know. I mean, they’re all very devoted, but it’s funny when the wolf pack breaks out in little mini–push-ups and they start punching each other in the stomachs. And then suddenly we just have to do a scene, and it’s like, “You guys!” It sort of takes you out of it for a second, you know, in a funny way.

You did a movie with James Gandolfini, Welcome to the Rileys. Did you get to do scenes with him?

Yeah, most of my scenes are with him.

What was he like? Is he intimidating?

He was. I mean, at first I was definitely intimidated. He’s just very, um … he’s incredibly honest, which is something I really like. It’s just that at first it’s sort of like, whoa. Also, I think the script itself was sort of so ambitious, I think everyone, even Melissa Leo and James — who really have no reason to be nervous about stuff anymore — even they were … not nervous, but … They knew what they were getting themselves into, and that rubbed off on me, and I was, like, Whoa, I’m really a part of something that’s, like, not going to be so easy. I mean, those are all the best ways to feel before you do a movie, but we got along great. He’s awesome. We had, like, a Mowgli-Baloo dynamic.

So when the cameras were off, he sort of chatted and joked with you? He seems very quiet to the press when he’s promoting his own projects.

Yeah, he is definitely quiet, it’s not like he’s just that way for you guys — but he’s really funny, too, and we had a good time working on it.
