Last week we announced that Hot Topic will be giving away a prize to someone who can guess what their clues are leading up to. We’ll be selecting a random winner from someone who has played along by commenting each week, and who gets the answer when the final hint comes out.

In case you missed last week’s entry and the full explanation of exactly what we are talking about, you can catch up here.

Now on to this week’s clue, what do yo think it means?

“Twilighters, we hope you are still thinking about last week’s hint…because this week’s hint is “Prom.”  Not sure yet?  Keep thinking!

There is a super cool surprise in store for you on the day of the launch party!  Oh, and don’t forget to pre-order your very own copy of Twilight on DVD!”

MTV asks if the backlash directed at Kristen Stewart from various fans is warranted.  They cite recent articles that where Kristen commented to Nylon Magazine regarding her fan experience, and comments Kristen’s dad (a TV producer) made regarding Kristen not appearing at the Oscars.

Next, MTV wants to know what you think of Demi Lovato. It seems that Demi might be a Team Jake person and like a lot of people in the entertainment field these days, she’d love to be a part of New Moon. What do you think of her as a potential soundtrack artist?

MTV talked to Rob Pattinson about his plans after Twilight. What kind of scripts is he looking for? Will he be able to establish himself as something other than Hollywood’s young flavor of of the month?

Here’s Rob’s spin on his plans:

“…I have a gap in between, so I might do something in there, maybe,” he revealed of a small window between “New Moon” and “Eclipse” that could have him filming something new in late 2009. “I’m just relieved that I can kind of do anything [different].”

Twilight is nominated for a 2009 Kids Choice Award over at Nickelodeon in the favorite book category.  Given that we are talking Nickelodeon, which is not exactly the majority of the Twilight audience, there is some stiff competition from fellow nominees:

Favorite Book
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do It Yourself Book
Harry Potter series
Twilight series

This year Dwayne Johnson, better known as The Rock, is the host, and Robert Pattinson is scheduled as one of the presenters. You think anyone told Rob about the slime?

The girls from Twilight Singapore continued their Twilight release adventure in Japan today where believe it or not that got another celebrity bonus greeting.

Well today, as they lined up to greet Rob as his flight landed, they got to meet another celebrity who was on the same flight!

Alphie and Pel had a chance meeting with Kimbra Hickey, the hand model whose hands are the famous hands on the Twilight cover.  Over the years so many people have asked questions about the hands ranging from: Are they Stephenie Meyer’s hands?  Are they guy’s or girl’s hands? Was it just a manip of stock footage?

Well now you have the answers. Kimbra Hickey has answered just about every question people have asked us over the years about the Twilight hands in this exclusive Twilight Lexicon interview. Thanks to Kimbra for sharing the experience with us.

The crew at Twilight Singapore has traveled to Japan to cover the Twilight Premiere there. A lot of media sites covered the fact that Rob was at LAX yesterday, and wrongly guessed that he was going back to the UK.  Twilighters know better.  Rob was headed to Japan to meet up with Taylor for the Japanese press tour.

The girls from Twilight Singapore got the surpise of their lives at the airport and later at their hotel. Read all about it here.
