'Breaking Dawn' premiere: live-streaming video from the black carpet

This post has been corrected, as indicated below.

One big difference between the "Breaking Dawn" premiere campers, and the folks farther northeast downtown at Occupy L.A.? The Twi-hards have a clear set of demands: "Twilight," "Twilight" and more "Twilight" -- and if you would cap that with a little Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner on the red carpet before "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" premieres at the Nokia Theatre, everyone would go home happy.

The "Breaking Dawn" fans, who've been camped in tents gathered under a larger tent at L.A. Live since Wednesday, got some extra entertainment Sunday morning: Supporting cast members, including Cullen family patriarch Peter Facinelli, vampire Jackson Rathbone, werewolf BooBoo Stewart and Denali vixens Casey LaBow and MyAnna Buring showed up for a breakfast-time autograph session and photo fest ahead of Monday's big event.

The "big three" stars will hit the scene Monday evening.

Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer also showed ahead of the red carpet for the first time, handing out 600 pre-autographed copies of "Breaking Dawn" and delighting fans, some of whom thanked her for friendships that had resulted because of her books. 

"They're really kind to each other, which I love, and all very excited," Meyer said in a video interview Sunday, "and looking pretty good for having slept on the street."

The Ministry of Gossip will have the premiere's official live-streaming video from the red carpet starting at 5 p.m. PST -- so either bookmark this post or come back to the Ministry later to see KStew, RPattz, Taylor and more from the red carpet in Los Angeles.

There's a premiere in London's Stratford district Wednesday, and the movie hits U.S. theaters Friday.

[For the record, 6:11 p.m.: As commenters Andrea Lavigne and Candice Davis point out below, this post originally mixed up details on roles played by Jackson Rathbone, Casey LaBow and MyAnna Buring. Should be right now! No excuses, just blushing bright red right -- now back to the live feed and Twitter!/cdz.]

'True Blood' casts a spell on Hollywood at Season 4 premiere

The "True Blood" campaign for Season 4 has hinged on the phrase "waiting sucks" -- but the wait for more Stephen Moyer, Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard, Joe Manganiello and the rest of the gang is almost over.

That could be a good thing for Rutina Wesley, who plays the show's oft-distressed Tara. "They put me through a lot," Wesley said Tuesday at the "True Blood" premiere, "but this is what I signed up for and what I studied.

"You wanna duct tape me to a toilet? Let's do it."

(Semi-spoiler alert: Things are a lot different for Tara this year, across the board.)

The residents of fictional Bon Temps, La., turned out in Hollywood on Tuesday at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome to kick off another season of Alan Ball's adaptation of the Charlene Harris vampire novels.

Married couple Paquin and Moyer walked the carpet together, trailing Skarsgard, Ryan Kwanten, Manganiello and Wesley.

The show's vampire-friendly watering hole, Fangtasia, was re-created just blocks from the theater, attracting cast, admirers and a few members of the HBO family after the screening.

Fan favorite Kristin Bauer van Straten, who received many compliments on her waifish figure and outrageous costumes, shared her secret: "It's the corsets. They usually throw me three or four a year."

Skarsgard, sans girlfriend Kate Bosworth, sipped beer and greeted many an admirer and costar, including Kwanten, Kevin Alejandro, Lauren Bowles, Nelsan Ellis and Deborah Ann Woll. Manganiello stuck with  fiancée Audra Marie and wolfed down some meat and potatoes, while costar Sam Trammel got compliments on his recent "Funny or Die" sketch, "Hot Dudes With Kittens." 

Palm-reading witches and plastic fangs peppered the bash, which saw support from other HBO stars, including Perrey Reeves of "Entourage," "Big Love" alums Amanda Seyfried and Douglas Smith, and  Rebecca Creskoff of "Hung." Click the pics for more photos from the red carpet.

The new season of "True Blood" premieres Sunday on HBO.

'True Blood' star Joe Manganiello says he would go ugly on command

Joe Manganiello is devoted to his craft, so don't be fooled by his werewolf bod on "True Blood." He says he'd go from beefcake to hamburger in a heartbeat.

"If Alcide was described as weighing 300 pounds with a comb-over and missing his front teeth, that's what I would look like," he said in a recent interview.

Good luck with that. Manganiello is back in top form for the fourth season of the HBO vampire show, in which he plays the tortured lupine Alcide Herveaux. Last fall, however, he was trying Superman's cape on for size.

Pictures: 'True Blood' Season 4 premiere

Manganiello told GQ he was in the running for Zack Snyder's reboot of the superhero, thanks to all of his howling at the moon.

"He and his wife are huge fans of 'True Blood,'" Manganiello said.

Though he didn't land the role, he'll continue to exhibit supernatural powers on Alan Ball's mystical Southern creation, which has its season premiere on Sunday.

'True Blood' star Joe Manganiello engaged to actress Audra Marie

A lot of gay guys and straight single ladies will be howling at the moon: Joe Manganiello has been taken off the market.

The "True Blood" werewolf has popped the question to his actress girlfriend, Audra Marie.

In August he told the Ministry that Marie would be the first to know of his marital intentions; People first reported the happy news Thursday.

"She wouldn't go out with me for six months," Manganiello recalled to the mag, saying the pair took up shortly before he was cast on Alan Ball's mystical hit show.

He describes the blond as "a great dresser."

"She's gorgeous, and she's tall. And she's sweet ... nice. And she makes crazy English breakfasts."

The pair have yet to set a date.

'Twilight' wolfpack wants the number for Joe Manganiello's trainer

We saw this one coming a mile away -- turns out the insanely hot new "True Blood" werewolf Joe Manganiello has stirred up some body envy in a different wolfpack: the lupine boys of "The Twilight Saga."

We caught up with Manganiello at Comic-Con this weekend, hitting up EW and SyFy's celebration Saturday night, where he told us he's seeing his furry brethren from the Summit films all over Hollywood and beyond.

"I keep running into the other werewolves," he said, "and they're like, 'Dude, who is your trainer?'"

If you're listening, Taylor Lautner, Alex Meraz, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon, Manganiello works with Ron Mathews, the man responsible for Hugh Jackman's ripped bod in the "X-Men" and "X-Men Origins" films.

And work he does, as evidenced by the shirtless Muscle & Fitness shoot Manganiello just completed. (And, oh, there's video after the jump. You're welcome.) 

Which wolf does it for you, Manganiello's Alcide from "True Blood" or the guys of "Twilight"? Tell us in the comments section below.
