“Twilight” Fans Go Nuts On “The Today Show”

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, ZOMG, I mean Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, were on “The Today Show” this morning to promote “Twilight” which opens in theaters tomorrow. This interview was awkward to watch for a number of reasons, the first being that Pattinson and Stewart seem really burnt out by all the fan obsession, Stewart especially. I kind of get the feeling that Pattinson likes the fact that he can get all the booty he wants, but frankly, it also seems like the only booty he wants is Kristen’s.
Anyway, it was also awkward because “Today” featured a lot of footage of fans going absolutely apes**t for Pattinson, declaring things like, “He’s the love of my life! The reason for my existence! And I love him!” And that was just coming from a teenager—at the end of the segment, Meredith Viera dragged Pattinson and Stewart out into the cold to answer questions from “Twilight” fans, including one woman, who had to be in her late 20s, whose head seemed poised to explode. Clip above! (Oh, also, Robert, time to wash the hair. It looks like it smells.)

Kristen Stewart does look really burnt it, it’s probably so overwhelming. She could just be on some xanax…either way, can i be her????? I’ve fallen into the Robert Pattinson trap.

I find this so insane (but understand the fun). Robert Pattinson is not Edward Cullen. I’m sure it’s exhilarating for screaming girls and women everywhere to have their fantasy man-teen Edward Cullen embodied in the flesh, but that man does not exist in reality. I hope Mr. Pattinson is keen enough to escape an identity crisis. I’m sure he is - because that’s the job of an actor.
