Entertainer of the Year 2011: 'Twilight Saga' Cast at No. 5!
"Extra" asked for your votes on your favorite entertainers of 2011 -- and the top five choices have been made!
"The Twilight Saga" cast, which ranked No. 2 on "Extra's" Entertainer of the Year list in 2010, comes in at No. 5.
Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novels -- about a girl named Bella Swan who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen, while also forging a close friendship with werewolf Jacob Black -- made the tween set (and their mothers) swoon, launching a literary phenomenon in 2005 on a par with "Harry Potter."
And then came the films. When the first "Twilight" movie was released in 2008, young stars Kristen Stewart ("Bella") and Robert Pattinson ("Edward") were catapulted into teen idol-dom, with hunky Taylor Lautner ("Jacob") following their path in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in 2009.
The third film, "Eclipse," opened to huge numbers in 2010, grossing over $300 million domestically, while the fourth book, "Breaking Dawn," was split into two movies. "Part 1" -- which sees Bella and Edward finally get married and consummate their passion, resulting in an unexpected pregnancy -- opened November 18 to even bigger grosses. The final installment "Breaking Dawn, Part 2" rises in theaters summer 2012.
