Twilight Tuesday: Backstage At The Los Angeles Premiere

Say it isn't so! Today is our last Twilight Tuesday (sniff). To commemorate the monumental date, we are going out with a bang by showcasing the behind-the-scenes madness at the Twilight premiere.

On Monday night, Bella and Edward celebrated the long-awaited Twilight premiere with thousands of their closest friends at the Mann Village Theater. The on-screen star-crossed lovers weren't the only estrellas of the night. Everyone wanted an exclusive taste of the red carpet action, including author Stephenie Meyer, Taylor Lautner, Demi Lovato, Aly Michalka and Frances Bean Cobain.

After the official viewing of the crazed vampire romance, guests walked through Westwood to the nearby Armand Hammer Museum for an upscale after party in an outdoor courtyard. Attendees were greeted with (virgin) martinis, a decked-out buffet, and a dessert stand featuring chocolate-chip cookies on lollipop sticks. QUE DULCE!

We even have la noche's top favorite moments lined-up para ti:

Most random celeb sighting: a toss-up between Kim Bassinger and Larry David.
Wildest moment: security getting called numerous times to tame the packed crowd around Pattinson and Camilla Belle dancing.
Fun fact: The longest line of the evening was the one for Meyer, asking the author for her autograph and engaging her in conversations about Edward's sparkle.

Get more detalles on the event and find out why Robert Pattinson found the whole evening rather 'frightening' below:
