• Exclusive Interview with Peter Facinelli at Twitter Event

  As previously reported, even though Peter Facinelli won his Twitter challenge with Rob DeFranco, he decided to give up his Twilight chair. And he used the event to benefit his favorite charities, which received $10,000 from Affliction, the clothing store where the event was held.

  I was there June 30th on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles to see Facinelli bestow the chair to one lucky fan who follows him on Twitter, and to witness the losing DeFranco dance down Hollywood Boulevard in a bikini singing "Single Ladies."

  Fans came from as far away as Denver for the event, which included a signing. "The line outside was unbelievably humbling to me," said Facinneli, "and I appreciate each one of them." Humble and charitable — he more than lives up to Carlisle Cullen's reputation, I'd say!

• Help Peter Facinelli Keep His Twilight Chair

  Peter Facinelli, me, and iced tea. It has a nice ring to it. We squeezed into a booth at "The Grill" on Hollywood and Highland. It was a date of sorts (a girl can dream, right?) — a TV date set up by my producers to talk about New Moon and Nurse Jackie, his Showtime series.

  While he plays a doctor in both, Dr. Fitch Cooper is darker than Twilight's Carlisle Cullen. And not just his hair and skin. Dr. Cooper suffers from manic highs and lows, and has a nervous tic of touching women inappropriately.

  Too bad it's not a real tic because I was sitting only a few inches away during our 45-minute chat.... But I digress.

  My interview with Facinelli — in which he talks about differences between New Moon and Twilight, as well as his wife Jennie Garth (sniff, sniff) and their three daughters — will be online later this week.

  But I wanted to alert Twilight fans now: Facinelli has a bet going with his friend Rob (DeFranco, not Pattinson). He needs 500,000 Twitter followers by the end of the day on Friday, June 19, or he loses his Twilight set chair to DeFranco.

  We can't let that happen. Start the following, Twi-Hards!
