Twilight

Turns out Stephenie Meyer, the woman behind the Twilight series, isn't the only person to write about sexy vampires -- 'cause she's being accused of ripping off the storyline for her fourth ultra-successful book by a less famous, less rich author.

A woman named Jordan Scott fired off a cease and desist letter to the publisher of "Breaking Dawn" -- the fourth book in the series -- claiming the Twilight tale contains a "striking and substantial similarity" to Scott's book, "The Nocturne."

In her extremely detailed letter, Scott claims her book was published in 2006 -- two years before "Breaking Dawn" -- and it's no coincidence that many of the scenes are almost identical. Such as...

-- Both books contain a post-wedding sex scene
-- Both books contain a scene about a woman who's sick because she's carrying a child with "evil powers"
-- Both books contain a scene with the death of the main character's wife

And according to Scott, the dialogue in all of these scenes -- and more -- is extremely similar.

But Meyer's rep is calling BS -- telling TMZ, "The claim that 'Breaking Dawn' by Stephenie Meyer somehow infringes on an alleged book by someone named Jordan Scott is completely without merit. Neither Stephenie Meyer nor her representatives had any knowledge of this writer or her supposed book prior to this claim."

So, the million dollar question ...

The ripped 17-year-old took flight while performing flips on the set of his latest film.

Let's see R.Patz -- and his hair -- attempt this.

Those rabid "Twilight" fans are ridiculously devoted -- and extremely loud.

The hot-bodied star left Mel's Diner driving every 40-year-old mother's ride of choice -- a white mini van -- and the paps rightly let him have it.

The woman who caused the crash was arrested moments after the accident. It appears from the video there were no major injuries. We're working on details.

Story developing ...

Though Kristen Stewart was filming as Joan Jett in "The Runaways," she totally pulled a Bella Swan -- by clumsily hurling herself into the sidewalk.

It wasn't long until security pried 'em off -- but the two gals still touched him for .5 seconds more than you have.

The 19-year-old has gone black to play Jared Leto Joan Jett in the new biopic about the '70s female rock band The Runaways.

Who wouldn't want to get drunk with the ripped 24-year-old "Twilight" star?

One of them recently lost their job and was replaced by a man.

We're just sayin'.

This "Twilight" star isn't a fan of any type of hair in general.

R.Patz showed off his bloodless torso while filming "New Moon" in Italy today.

The guy who almost took Taylor Lautner's spot in the "Twilight" sequel is still making lots of noise in Hollywood ... but not the good kind.

Our spies say Michael Copon -- who's in 'Scorpion King 2' -- was throwing a birthday bash for best friend Steve Nguyen at his L.A. home Saturday night, only to have cops shut it down.

The fuzz showed up at 11 PM, put a hasty end to the DJ's job and made everyone go inside.
