MY 'ECLIPSE' PREMIERE EXPERIENCE: PART 1



The minute I heard the 'Eclipse' premiere was switching from its usual Westwood location to Nokia Live, I took it as a bad omen. It was nowhere near as fun as Westwood and it was 10 times more crowded. Unless you camped out, you couldn't even see the celebs walking in. They had it COMPLETELY blocked off from the general public.

And then my Twi-Partner-In-Crime's flight got delayed, so we had to give in to the fact that we weren't going to get there early enough to find a good viewing spot. By the time we did get there, we found ourselves on a crowded corner in the hot sun with the other fans and some annoying little guidos. Not fun. We started off on this side of the street (see pic below), but it got too hot, so we crossed to go to the shade. Bad move since this ended up being where Rob went to greet fans when he first arrived! :(



No pics of Rob's arrival 'cause you know -- I was FREAKING OUT!!! But I will say that Taylor's arrival is a scene upon itself. I didn't think Staples Center's security was going to contain those crazy tweens, but they managed. He's a good kid though... or so he seems! Here he is taking pics with fans.... (sorry, we were far back, so pics aren't as close up - but photo kudos to Meg!):


Teens n' their TayTay


Move aside, lil' boy.... my Jackson has ARRIVED!!!! :)


Mr. Badass Cullen


Here's a pic of Kristen heading to the red carpet. In case you didn't see or hear, she arrived and then left shortly after in a car and came back again. Found out later, a fan had accidentally marked her face with a marker and she had to leave to clean it off. If you saw her talk about it on the red carpet, she wasn't sure if the fan was trying to be funny or not. Either way, she was not pleased. In other news.... who gives a [bleep].....muahaha


KStew rockin' the white mini!

After standing in the sun for hours, we have dinner and try to catch them on the way out after the movie. No go, since others had the same idea and security had it blocked off even worse. Hardly any of the cast walked by, and they whisked Rob, Kristen and Taylor off in a convoy just to get them to the after party across the street. Lame!

Watching the different celebs walk by was also weird -- it were as if someone made the announcement inside that NO ONE is allowed to speak to any of the spectators on their way to the after party. Seriously, everyone who walked by did just that -- walked right on by. They barely waved or even acknowledged us. Very strange. Almost eerie.

A brief pictorial:

Gil was sweet and waved, but he wasn't stopping since he could barely walk across the street with his cane. Does anyone know if he was injured? Curious.



Oohhh..... we were looking forward to seeing Xavier n' his fine self.... 'til he totally dissed everyone and walked right on by..... BOOOOOOO!



Bryce tried to wave and be nice, but she wasn't really havin' it either. Too bad 'cause I was gonna tell her how pretty her mustard gown was (NOT!) muahahaha




AND THE AWARD GOES TO..... BOOBOO STEWART!!!!! O.M.G., this is the cutest kid in the world. You know his mama raised him right. He was beyond gracious to the fans. When he first arrived to the premiere, he went to greet ALL the fans, even near those of us who were in Timbuktu. And as you can see here, he goes against security and greets the young girls who were calling him over. I got nothin' but love for BooBoo!

Although Meg n' I have a great time regardless, it wasn't the stellar evening we envisioned. But the night is still young. Stay tuned for Part 2.....
