Peter Facinelli has claimed victory on his Twitter bet, the spoils including his pal Rob DeFranco singing “All the Single Ladies” in a bikini and giving away his Twilight director’s chair backing to one of his followers. To my eyes, it reads 268,725 followers–but according to the video, a fluke proves he reached the 500,000 mark that he needed for victory.

Here’s an interview with Peter Facinelli with vastly improved audio compared to the version we posted yesterday. He talks about New Moon, his new TV show Nurse Jackie, and says of Robert Pattinson, to whom he is a dad in New Moon– “I can’t walk into the grocery store without seeing my son!”

MTV has a new interview with New Moon dad Peter Facinelli concerning his aim to make it to 500,000 followers on Twitter by Friday. As we mentioned earlier, he’s now promising his Twilight director’s chair backing to a lucky fan if he reaches his goal–and he told MTV why it’s very special:

MTV: How will you decide who gets it?….Facinelli: I like riddles. I think I might do some kind of riddle, and the first person that posts the correct answer will win the chair backing. That sounds more fun than a raffle, right?

MTV: Yeah, and the Twilighters all want the back of your chair really badly. Facinelli: Especially since Rob Pattinson sat on my chair. It has some RPattz sweat on it.

MTV: Oh God. The winner could hire some CSI guys to remove the hairs and DNA. Facinelli: Definitely. One day, in the future, you might be able to clone Rob Pattinson if you own the back of my chair. That’s all I’m saying.

Check out the whole interview at MTV, and follow Peter Facinelli to help him win!

• The first shot has Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan in the forest, with Edward touching Bella’s face.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting big numbers for the season premiere of Nurse Jackie, New Moon doc Peter Facinelli’s latest TV show. I wonder how many of those viewers tuned in for the Dr. Carlisle Cullen?–

Showtime is giving a second season order to “Nurse Jackie” after the Edie Falco drama became Showtime’s most-watched series premiere ever Monday night.

“Jackie” was seen by 1 million viewers, then gathered another 350,000 watchers during its same-night repeat for a total of 1.35 million viewers. That surpasses the prior same-night series premiere record holder, “Secret Diary of a Call Girl,” which opened to about 950,000 viewers last year.

‘Nurse Jackie’ picked up for second season [via Twilight Examiner, thanks Jo!]
