Team Edward Calls Out Team Jacob

The gauntlet has been thrown by Robert Pattinson himself this past weekend at The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) press junket in Los Angeles. Pattinson dared to bring up the touchy subject of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. The actor has stayed mum about the teams until this weekend when he let a bomb slip. Find out what will have Team Jacob fans in a tizzy when they learn of this latest atrocity.

The Sophie's Choice decision of picking Team Edward vs. Team Jacob never really struck a chord with fans until New Moon. In Twilight (2008), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) was only seen in parts as the story focused more on Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart). However, at that moment when Edward left Bella in the meadow, he also set the stage for Team Jacob fans to emerge from the woods. We all have our team and we wear our pride on our chest (thanks Hot Topic) and regardless of anything we know that our team will be victorious.

In an all new interview, Pattinson goes as far as stating which team would win in a fight -- and the truth surely does hurt sometimes. Rob states, "I think it's actually a *fact* that Edward would win. If I read the books correctly." Those are fighting words coming from Pattinson; how do you think Team Jacob fans will handle this tidbit?

Calling all Team Jacob fans -- speak now and stick up for your leader or forever hold your peace! All seriousness aside, Rob and Taylor are friends and it's nice to see them casting jokes at each other and getting the fans riled up!
