For the 2009 Video Music Awards on September 13, MTV is cooking up a feast of “Twilight”-y goodness. You probably already know that stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be on hand to debut exclusive footage from their upcoming vampire saga sequel, “New Moon.” But the manna from pop-culture heaven will actually begin before the show kicks off.

During the VMA preshow — which starts at 8 p.m. ET, an hour before the main event — “Twilight” star Ashley Greene (a.k.a. Alice Cullen) will be our celebrity fashion correspondent. She’ll be on the A-list red carpet, bringing you live updates about what everyone’s wearing and chatting with celebs as they make their way into Radio City Music Hall for the show.

Greene will be joined on the carpet by MTV News correspondents Sway and Tim Kash, who will be talking with the hottest artists and celebrities flying into New York to take in the VMA action. Inside the venue, reporters Jim Cantiello and Kim Stolz will be hunting down show secrets and giving live updates of the crazy behind-the-scenes prep for the big event.
