The STARmeter, which "represent[s] what people are interested in, based not on small statistical samplings, but on the actual behavior of millions of IMDb users," "do[es] not necessarily mean that something is "good." They do mean that there is a high level of public awareness and/or interest in the title or person," says IMDB.
How are IMDb's rankings calculated? Says IMDb, it "uses proprietary algorithms that take into account several measures of popularity for people and titles. The primary measure is who and what people are looking at on the public IMDb.com website. Other factors include Box office receipts and user quality votes on a scale of 1-10. The rankings are updated on a weekly basis." What kind of numbers are involved in these calculations? IMDb says, "We . . . offer a nearly unlimited set of choices with over 1 million titles and over 2,300,000 people to choose from, and base our rankings on the behavior of a sampling group of over 57 million monthly visitors in a real-world environment." That's a lot of people, which makes this news even better for our Twilight stars (the full list available below).
Ranking number one and number two consecutively, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are enjoying quite a bit of post-Twilight intrigue as well with their various new works. Kristen Stewart's film The Cake Eaters was just released on DVD the same day as Twilight was, while her film Adventureland just came out in theaters last night. Rob, whose film How to Be is making waves with its soundtrack release, is also preparing for his major role in Little Ashes to take the fore of many of his fans' attentions, while both of them stay busy filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon in the process of it all.

That's right, hons, it's a Twilight-style Blind Vice just for the those special cast and crewmembers who read them religiously! See, we've just discovered that our naughty Vices are a particularly favorite pastime on those foggy Twilight sets, which is just too ironic—as this one's all about a brokenhearted Twilight honey!
So get ready, you Twi-Twits. This week the Vice stuff is all about one castmember who's found herself in a romantically dangerous spot. Is there really ever any other kind?
Twyla Babe-Sucker is a gorge young gal who has suddenly stumbled upon all this damn fame. She's dizzy from it. Who friggin' wouldn't be? But it's so tough for this thick-haired beauty to handle herself, the spotlight and a man. Especially when temptation is lurking literally right around the corner:
TBS has had quite the rocky relationship with another dude, who's not a member of the megafranchise. It's been very hot-cold, even though the Cupid troubles have completely flown under the press's radar (save for mine). And this guy is pretty recognizable, too.
Either way, it's caused our poor babe angst 'cause so many games are being played with her head. Since the relaysh status has constantly been up in the air, it's hard to tell if either of them can really move on—especially when she's getting her makeup done, or what have you, and there's a very, very hunky, scruffy and studly guy who keeps giving her mixed signals, constantly coming up and hugging her. So intensely, too.
And you know that kind of body language I'm talkin' about, don't you? Classically angsty, Twilight-style lovemaking—hold me supertight (for hours), but that's it, stop there, nothing more...for now.
Truly Mormon kinda masochistic fooling around. In other words: Let's just torture ourselves for now and not give in to what we really want to do, which is to totally bone each other until Twilight isn't hauling in any more money!
So what's a girl to do? I say it's time to split from the current on-again, off-again guy and find yourself the real deal, babe. Like, maybe the affectionate hottie who's filming right next to you?
And it Ain't: Dakota Fanning, Noot Seear, Nikki Reed
