As "Twilight" fans well know, there are several slightly controversial and uncomfortable scenes in "Breaking Dawn," the final book of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series. Going into the last two films, the big questions on fans' minds seem to revolve around the infamous birthing and imprinting scenes.

One key participant in the birthing scene is Rosalie Cullen, who becomes so obsessed with Bella having Edward's baby that she will stop at nothing to see her born — even if it means compromising Bella's life.

When Rosalie herself, Nikki Reed, stopped by to talk with MTV News about her upcoming indie film "Last Day of Summer," we asked what she thinks about her character's firm beliefs on that subject matter and how she'll tackle those difficult scenes in the films.

"Here's how I look at it: I try not to be super opinionated and vocal, because in Hollywood, that seems to only lead you in the wrong direction," Reed said. "I try to relate this particular case to Rosalie and not make it metaphorical or symbolic of anything else."

Reed said Rosalie's strong feelings toward the baby are tied to her prior life as a human and never having had the chance to be a mother herself.

"I think that Rosalie just always wanted to be a mom, and that's how I look at it," she said. "It has nothing to do with being pro-life or anything. I think it's about her want, her need to be a mother, and this is the only opportunity she's every going to have, so she's willing to let Bella die so she can have that and fulfill that, and that's how I look at it. It's her own personal desires."

"Dawn" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg also weighed in on the infamous scene recently, telling us she plans to write it so everyone feels the pain of the experience. "I want to see the terror of the experience," Rosenberg said. "I want to have the experience of the fear and feel her pain. I want to feel everyone's pain in this."

What do you think motivates Rosalie to fight for Bella's baby?

Pick up any tabloid or fashion magazine—and we do mean any—and you're sure to spot one of Twilight's sexy, sometimes naughty sirens staring back at you from the cover.

Heck, throw a stone at the hottest H'wood red carpet or swanky after-hours party and you're bound to hit at least a few costar cuties bonding over being vamp sensations. Or cat-fighting, depending on which of those tabloids you grabbed.

Like it or not, the fanged franchise and its horde of hotties are practically running T-town right now. But which Twi starlet loves her off-screen fame the most?

I bet you guessed Nikki Reed, didn't you?

"Well, it's interesting. I mean, I think some of us enjoy or have dealt with the celebrity aspect of this whole journey maybe differently or more than others," Michael Welch, who stars in all of the hit films, gabbed about the so-famous cast.

"I think Ashley Greene is somebody who really enjoys like doing photo shoots and really just loves the whole game, you know?," he continued. "This whole crazy world."

Fine, I guess she was our second guess. Good thing all that fame-lovin' hasn't gone to her head and made her that nasty Eclipse diva, huh?

But what about the most famous Twi -babe?

"Kristen obviously is probably more interested in just acting and just doing what she does best," Michael explains, making sure to protect his leading lady.

"And maybe comes across a certain way within this celebrity world that I don't think is accurate in terms of who she actually is as a person."

So who is she actually? More on that later, dolls, promise!

Nikki Reed can live without the drama, thank you.

What with her Eclipse costar Kristen Stewart's hellish week after her now-infamous "rape" comment – for which she apologized – Reed says she's going out of her way to avoid anything that could get her into the same situation.

"I don't think something like Twitter is for me because I'll just end up getting myself in trouble with what I accidentally say," Reed told PEOPLE at Sunday's 2010 MTV Movie Awards. "You've seen what's happened to some of my other cast members recently."

Reed, 22, says she can see why a scenario like Stewart's turned out the way it did. "It's unfortunate that everything everyone says gets misinterpreted, but I think things get misinterpreted when you're looking for a way to find a subtext to what someone is saying," she says. "It's just the nature of this business and being a part of this film."

As for those who dislike Reed for one reason or another? She says her mother has convinced her not to worry about it.

"It takes a lot of energy to be mean," says Reed. "My mom has been trying to teach me that my whole life, and it's taken me 22 years to understand it. If you put that energy elsewhere, you can do amazing things."

Hold out a little longer Twi-hards, the latest installment of 'Twilight' is almost here! 'Eclipse' swoops into theaters June 30, and its stars Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) and Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) will be taking your questions for a new session of Unscripted.

In the newest flick, the Cullens team up with the werewolf pack to stop a newborn vampire army.

On Saturday, June 12, the Cullen kids will be stopping by our Moviefone Unscripted studio to ask each other questions submitted by you.

You can ask them anything from their favorite behind-the-scenes moment to what it was like teaming up with the werewolves. Just make sure to submit your questions by Fri., June 11 at 12PM ET. Be sure to include your name and location.

Come back here on Wed., June 23 to see if your question was used during the interview.

Good luck!

Nikki Reed ("Rosalie Hale" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) is working with Staples and DoSomething.org, according to a new press release, to help put school supplies in the hands of children in need.

Nikki, star of this summer’s upcoming blockbuster film Twilight: Eclipse, is encouraging teens to make a difference this summer by collecting school supplies and dropping them off at their local Staples store from July 4 through September 18. In addition, Staples customers will be able to get involved by donating $1 at any Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students in need. Each Staples store will be matched to a local educational not-for-profit organization serving local youth, and DoSomething.org and Staples will ensure that all the donations get to these partners just in time for the new school year.



“Do Something 101 has done an amazing job in its first two years, and I’m dedicated to making the 2010 campaign the best yet,” said Nikki Reed. “Every donated pencil, notebook and other supplies add up to make a big difference in improving education.”

Last year, Reed's Twilight series co-star Chaske Spencer participated in this event with Ciara, and Ashley Greene has also worked with DoSomething.org, so it's great to see another Twilight castmate use her influence for the greater good.
