Twilight fever hit New Jersey's Garden State Mall on Friday when the movie's stars and real-life pals Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed signed autographs for 500 fans at Hot Topic. J-14 got an exclusive front-row seat right behind the actresses as the fans filed through one by one.
Right off the bat, it was obvious that fans got much more than just an autograph, they walked away with a memory. "I can¹t imagine standing here for hours on end," Nikki told J-14, sympathizing with the fans. "If you're not going say, 'Hi' to people, you might as well just stamp your name."
Without a doubt, one of the most popular uses of the in-person time was to request that love messages be passed along to their co-star Rob Pattinson. One girl said she was going to marry Rob, and Kristen asked if he knew that. "No, but can you tell him?" she said, and Kristen agreed with a grin. Nikki laughed afterwards. "Rob's got a list of a million 12-year-olds waiting to marry him. If all else fails, he's got a lot of options."
Some fans screamed, others shied away in shock, and several even started shedding tears, like Angelica, 15, from Dumont, N.J. who had been waiting at the mall for more 13 hours. "Two weeks ago, I went to see Rob, but I didn't have this reaction," she said through tears. "They each gave me a hug and thanked me for coming, but I have to thank them for being here."
Other common comments included "Your hands must be tired from all the autographs" (to which Kristen answered, "Surprisingly not!") and "Ohmigosh! You're so pretty in person!" (to which both girls blushed and complimented the fans back).
A few fans used the time to ask questions, like one who inquired about Nikki's blonde wig in the movie. "That's my actual hair," she said. "They bleached it." Others liked Bella, 14, from Ramsey, N.J., raved about their other projects. "I told Nikki she wrote one of my favorite movies, Thirteen, and she told me I was her favorite person here -- that actually made my life."
Although the bulk of the fans were girls, a few guys were sprinkled in the crowd, which always made Nikki a little suspicious. "Okay, so are you a Twilight fan or are you here with your girlfriend?" One guy admitted he loved the movie and got kisses on the cheek from both girls after his girlfriend stepped away. "Don't tell her!" Nikki called after him.
From hugs and kisses to autographs and answers, it's clear that when the movie opens this Friday, it's sure to be a real vampire weekend.
I am reading this book right now i enjoy it so far wonder if the movie will be anything like the book probably not usually they are alot diffrent then the book one has more detail then the other .. i will c it after i read the book though already on chapter 8 and i started last friday.... is that good that i am that far? n those of you that go in see it have fun its going to be a hit like as in big hit of 2008. best movie award n everything.
i love this book soo much. i would love to have a romance like bella and edward. it is sooo cute! i think the movie makes the book look stupid if you havent read it. but im still gonna see it!
I want to see the movie so bad. Most of my friends have alredy read the books and they say it's great, but I think Taylor Lautner, he played the ware-wolf in the move and btw that's not his real hair in the movie, is way hotter than Robbert Pattinson- Mrs. Lautner
i dont even know twightlight is
i wanna read all 4 books and watch the movie!!
Ty, you asked for my number under the interview! You said you had a crush on me back! You are so cool! You sound hot....like my latin blood.
Ill go check it out, Sarah. I doubt that it is really Ty, though.
Sarah, dont give him your number! Its not really Ty! Once again, Amy! Sarah, dont believe it! Not that Ty wouldnt like you, just, get real.

Was the Vampire Weekend reference intentional?

Sarah, I actually dont like you...at all. You arent acting like a real friend, like Lexi and Gossip Girl. Abby your name is funny. Well, back on subject, I like Gossip Girl. I think that she is like a coke bottle when she walks. And I want to be able to call you, not just Lexi. Can I have your number, Gossip Girl? And Lexi, can you tell me her real name? I dont know it.
Amy, stop. Why do you have to be so mean? If you think we dont know, we do. Its not funny. Nobody but you is laughing. Stop causing us drama. We know its you because you say the same things all the time. Amy, why do you make fun of people for being friends. I think that you are so stupid you have the definitions mixed up. Friends are people who stay friends no matter what happens, and we are gonna do that. You cant tear us apart Amy. And Ty, how old are you?
Amy, stop bothering me! Stop saying things like that, it hurts my feelings and that is not very nice. Im gonna invite Lexi and Gossip Girl to a sleepover at my house so we can think of a plan.
Thanks Lexi. Yeah Amy stop. It's getting old now.
Sarah, I left you something under the interview thing.
Lexi, how old are you?
That first comment there is not me. I don't like sleepovers.
I cant wait to go look. You made my day, Ty. Im really excited.. Im gonna go get it and print it out.
Hey peeps. I have to go so ANY POSTS after this by someone named Ty is not me. Oh, and if we are going to keep being impersonated, there's this MSN thing where you can chat about celebs but nobody can impersonate you, because you have to sign in. No name can be used by two different people. Cool, huh?
I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. See ya. I have to go do my homework.
i read all the bookes and loved them! cant wait 4 the movie- only 4 more days!
Sorry this is off the subject but i dont like the Twilight characters they are totally off in like every girls mind at my school like Edward is suposed to be like this gorgeous god but hes some ugly guy i mean seriously hes suposed to be like smokin hot!!!!!!!!!!! And bella talks like a man her mom is suposed to be prettier then bella and look like a teen i mean seriously who agrees?? and Emett suposed to be hotter then reglar hot and Jacob looks ewwie hes suposed to have sorta long hair and like ya know a little cuter Rosalies hair is to blonde and shes not GORGEOUS like i thought! then Jasper looks absolutely crazy and Alice with like longer black hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i do like Laurence they got him right idk abought Carlisle and Esme havent seen them or anyone else
Twiglight rocks! The movie is gonna rock to.=)
Im almost done reading New Moon, I have about 30 pages left. I cant wait to read Eclipse and see the movie. It would be awesome to meet the cast of Twilight. But, im the only one who doesn't care for Rob in my group. The mostly like him bc he's hawt, to me, it looks like somebody hit him straight in the face with a frying pan. Edward in the book sounds WAYYYYY hotter than Rob, and I can name ALOT of other guys who can pull Edward off. But Bella doesn't sound like Bella in the book either. Anyways, can't wait for the movie.
To all my friends. lets go to the j14 crashes TRL post to talk. And Ty, can you tell me your age first? Im a little nervous. I want to know, but I dont want to know, if that makes sense! :) Oh, and about the MSN thing, I would rather stay here.
lol this is amazing!!!! their so nice!!!
it sucks that they didnt come to canada.. lol haha but the usa is big enough lol
yay only 3 days left!!
OMG i would totally freak out if i saw any of the twilight cast.
OMG!!I love the Twilight series!!!And it's not fair b/c nobody famous goes to Michigan!
i love twilight expeccily (i dont know how to spell it)taylor lautner(jacob black)
I think you (Kate The Edward that they chose, eh, they could have done better. Though his acting makes up for the missing peices.
I thought they chose a good Bella and her mom was okay.
Emett looks great.
Jacob? Leave him alone he is really sweet, laid back, and seems like a great guy.
Jasper is suppose to look crazy. Remember? He just started the Cullen diet and used to kill all the newbs.
=b
Alice looks Adorable and is perfect for the role.=)
Rosalie, She is a butt munch to Bella. She looks manipulative, mean, and one of those people that you want to stay on her good side. 0.o
James and his group was a good choice, I agree with you on that.
A heads up on Carlisle and Esme. There great too.
Not trying to jump on your tail or embarrass you, so dont get all pissy.
