The prospect of an exclusive clip from "Breaking Dawn" already has Twilighters buzzing about Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, but the exclusives don't stop there: MTV is planning another special first look, which will roll out during the red-carpet pre-show.
We know what it is and the "Breaking Dawn" stars know what it is, but viewers will have to wait until sometime Sunday between 7:30 and 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV for the reveal. And just to tease you a bit more, Elizabeth Reaser (a.k.a. Esme Cullen) put together a list of three clues to set you off in the right direction.
"Is it possible that there was a butterfly involved? Did I give it away? Or I might have just hallucinated that," she said from the Sneak Peek Week red carpet for "The Art of Getting By." "I would assume that there would be some lavender involved -- lavender and or purple -- however you want to describe that. And it is the most coveted invite in town."
Jackson Rathbone also wants fans to watch the show, and he promises the surprise will be worth it. "If you tune in to the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday, you're going to see something ultra-special at the red carpet," he said. "That's right, something you've been waiting years for, and we're really excited to show it to you, so make sure you tune in."
Interest piqued yet? Sound off on what you think the surprise is in the comments section below or send your best guess to @MTVNews on Twitter.

UFC 130 battle of the beef: Mir carves up Nelson
LAS VEGAS - Frank Mir did all he could to finish Roy Nelson, but "Big Country" refused to go out. Unfortunately Nelson's heart can't make up for his lack of conditioning and he was mauled in a one-sided fight against the former UFC heavyweight champ. In a physical, long fight Mir posted a unanimous decision victory, 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26, over Nelson in the co-main event of UFC 130 at the MGM Grand Arena.
Mir (15-5, 13-5 UFC) won his second straight fight, but probably didn't do enough to move himself back in the title chase. By playing the role of punching bag and possessing solid defensive work on the ground, Nelson makes it tough for anyone to look good.
"How many times did I knee him in the face," Mir asked UFC analyst Joe Rogan during the postfight conversation in the cage. "What's with that guy's chin?"
Nelson (15-6, 2-2 UFC) fought at a solid pace for about three minutes and then started breathing heavily in the middle of the first round. Mir decided to wear him down by clinching along the cage. He made good use of the thai clinch (hands around the neck of the opposing fighter) by landing knees to the body and some big shots to the head. Nelson's a top level grappler and jiu-jitsu practitioner, but he was so exhausted in the second and third rounds that Mir was able to dump him to the ground five times. Mir used relatively slow and simplistic single and double-leg takedowns to get Nelson down. After grinding it out with Nelson, Mir was somewhat satisfied by the win.
"Wrestling was my main focus in this camp and I think it worked out well for me tonight," Mir said. "I'd rate my performance as a seven (out of 10). I expected to win the grappling aspect. It went even better than I had a planned. I felt like I was able to win in every aspect of the fight. Roy is really tough and I'm glad to leave here with the win."
The calls for the 6-foot Nelson to get in better shape or go down to 205 pounds are probably going to go unheard. Big Country is stubborn and knows that even in less than stellar shape, he can compete with most heavyweights in the No. 5-15 range.
"I trained with too many smaller guys for this camp and I paid for it tonight," Nelson said. "His wrestling was something I wasn't expecting and I just got tired. I'm looking forward to getting my gym time back so that I can work on getting bigger and stronger."
If Nelson adds "slimmer" to than plan, he'll benefit immensely. At a blubbery 260, he'll probably never break through to elite status.
The UFC's heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez is sidelined until the fall with a shoulder injury. In two weeks at UFC 131, Junior dos Santos and Shane Carwin clash for the next title shot. After that, the division is wide open. Mir is certainly in the mix but probably has to post another win to lock up a shot.
Earlier in the night, UFC president Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar, another former champ, elected to undergo surgery in an effort to rid himself of diverticulitis. White said that Lesnar had 12 inches of his colon removed during a surgical procedure on Friday. The hope is that Lesnar can return in early 2012.

Decoy swarm has the potential to protect attacking jets with hundreds of drones
MALDs (miniature air launched decoys), for those of you not up on your wargadgets, are a cross between cruise missiles and aerial drones -- a hybrid used to protect attacking jets by confusing or distracting the enemy during combat. Various branches of the US military have been using them for years, but now one company's figured out a way to unleash hundreds of 'em, creating a veritable drone swarm. Defense contractor Raytheon has developed a system that ejects MALDs from a cargo aircraft, sending clusters of eight missiles into the air, at which point they initiate the standard wing deployment and engine ignition sequence. And, according to Wired, the company is considering putting sensors and warheads inside future MALDs, which would make these swarms more intelligent and, you know, explosive. PR after the break.
