Only 10 more days (and one more “Twilight” Tuesday!) until the release of “Breaking Dawn,” gang. And while most of you will be standing in massive lines at your local bookstore and participating in sure-to-be heated debates over Edward vs. Jacob, some lucky Twilighters will find themselves at the very epicenter of the fan frenzy that evening: New York’s launch of Stephenie Meyer’s book tour.

A few weeks back, MTV News announced that Meyer and Blue October frontman Justin Furstenfeld will be joining forces for a groundbreaking series of events combining her prose, his tunes, and the fan enthusiasm for both. Today, in addition to the brand-new Nikki Reed interview that just went live over on MTV.com, we’re offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak directly to the “Twilight” mastermind herself.

When Stephenie takes the stage for the sold-out show on August 1st, she’ll be escorted by MTV News’ “Twilight” superfan Kim Stolz, who will serve as moderator and be asking more questions than Bella after Edward stopped the van from crushing her.

For the next 48 hours, the MTV Movies Blog will be accepting the questions that will be read on stage. We are your exclusive home for this opportunity, and want to use the crème de la crème of queries, so we humbly make three requests:

- Come up with a really good question and post it in the comments section below.
- Don’t repeat someone else’s question, as we’ll only use the name of the first poster.
- Please, only one question per person.

Stephenie Meyer herself will be reading over all the posted comments in the next few days, and personally selecting her favorites.

Since she wants to give fans from all over the world the opportunity to have their questions answered (even if you can’t be in NYC that evening), the event will be broadcast live on iClips.net, and fans should stay tuned to MTV and its Web sites for full coverage of the event.

Oh, and one other request: Stephenie can’t answer any spoiler questions about “Breaking Dawn,” or any “what if” questions that would have her commenting on what might happen in the book. So please, keep in mind that Stephenie will only select questions that will ensure a fun, memorable, but “spoiler-safe” event.

There are a LOT of reasons to celebrate Val Kilmer: “Tombstone,” “The Doors,” “The Salton Sea,” “Real Genius,” “Willow.” The list of goes on and on.

This is not one of those reasons.

“[I created] Mini Me you know,” Kilmer confessed to MTV News, revealing once and for all his own role in skyrocketing Verne Troyer to fame. “[I was] the genesis of Mini Me.”

Doubt if you want. Me? I believe it. And how could I not? The story is so strange and improbable that it absolutely HAS to be true.

“[On] ‘Island of Dr. Moreau’ I told Marlon Brando my plan to save my performance just in case there was a giant whole in the second half - I was going to strap the little man to my chest,” Kilmer insisted, completely unaware, perhaps, of how terribly strange that plan sounds even in retrospect. “And, you know, you can’t get around that visual. And then he [Brando] STOLE my little man!”

Yes, yes he did. And it was bizarre. But even more bizarre is that Mike Myers apparently watched it and thought, “Now, THAT’S what I’ve been looking for!”

“I asked Mike Myers about it myself. He said, ‘absolutely’ [it came from that movie],” Kilmer said of the idea for Dr. Evil’s pint-sized clone. “Same studio made it. And he saw a screening and said, ‘that’s really funny.’”

If that’s not the weirdest origin for a character, I don’t know what is. But can you think of any I’m missing? Sound off below.

Shane West may not have been the first person that jumps to mind when thinking of candidates to portray deceased punk rocker Darby Crash of The Germs, but he certainly surprised us (and the crowd) when he joined the reunited rockers on-stage last year. Now the resulting biopic “What We Do Is Secret” has its first trailer, and we’re thrilled to present it exclusively on MTV.com. Watch it below or click here to view in HD.

Whether you agree or not, judging from both fan reaction and near universal critical acclaim, “The Dark Knight” will almost certainly go down as the greatest comic book movie of all-time, with a performance from Heath Ledger that is being hailed as one of the greatest on-screen villains ever.

Now all Christopher Nolan, his brother Jonathan, David Goyer, and an as yet unnamed villain have to do is top it.

“I think that’s the scariest thing – to think, could we come up with a third movie that was as good as the first two? Can we top ourselves?” screenwriter David Goyer asked aloud, almost rhetorically, in a recent conversation with MTV News. “Doing it a third time would be a big proposition.”

Make no mistake about it, though, a third film HAS been discussed, Goyer confessed, revealing that, while nothing is concrete, both a villain and a theme have been bandied about.

“We’ve only talked loosely about it, though, Chris and I,” Goyer said.

Interestingly, it’s the theme, and not the villain, that most interests me, especially given how the latter seems inexorably tied to the former in this new modern Batman universe. (Fear the predominant issue in “Begins” precipitating the introduction of Scarecrow, escalation in “Knight” similarly calling for The Joker.

The fact that Goyer has a theme he wants to keep in mind for a possible “Batman 3” means he also has a direction, a crisis, and, yes, a villain.

So what is it?

“I have one,” Goyer said laughing. “But I’m not going to tell you. Chris is very particular about that.

“I do think, though, that if there’s not a third film – these two movies stand on their own,” he added. “I think it could go either way.”

Not us. We want a “Batman 3.” So we’ll throw it out to you: Now that you’ve seen “The Dark Knight,” now that you know how it ends, what could be the theme of “Batman 3”? Who could be the villain to fit that theme? Sound off below.
