Twilight Actors Make Appearance on Oprah

The Twilight episode of Oprah aired today and featured interviews with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning.  In true Oprah fashion, fans were surprised with unannounced home visits from Robert and Taylor surprised a sorority house filled with fans, giving them tickets to the premiere.  Audience members were able to attend a special screening of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” the night before the taping of the show.  True TwiHards would not have learned much of anything new about the actors, as Oprah asked the questions that they’ve been asked countless times, including asking Rob if he and Kristen are dating.  He deflected the question with a great quip about Kristen actually being pregnant.  Kristen then continued making fun of the tabloid rumors by saying that Rob is actually having the baby.  The exclusive clips from the film were probably the best part of the show for most fans, aside from the obvious opportunity to ogle the actors.  The show featured the Volturi scene that is now available on iTunes, a scene of Edward dropping Bella off at the treaty line, and Edward and Jacob in a bit of a scuffle after Jacob kissed Bella.

So, who caved and watched the Volturi clip?  I have to say that I love Jane in it, but I’m not all that crazy about Demitri in it.  Maybe it will come together more for me in its entirety on the big screen.  I have a soft spot for Jane…a little sadistic part of me wishes that I could have her power.

Did anyone else watch Oprah?  I have to admit that I totally did a fangirl squee near the end with the Edward vs. Jacob scene and then Charlie comes out to break things up…which is just funny in and of itself.
