The Sunday Paper from Atlanta has a new interview with Peter Facinelli where he dishes on a scene he’s really looking forward to in New Moon–

Are there any scenes from the books that you hope make it into the films? For “New Moon,” there’s a scene with Bella (Kristin Stewart) where I stitch her up. I was excited to shoot that scene because it was a pivotal scene. It kind of sets up the whole reason why Rob’s character doesn’t want to change her into a vampire. I hope it stays in the movie because I feel like it’s essential and it’s a really nice scene for Carlisle and Bella; it’s an intimate thing. It’s a scene where a lot of information is being given and it shows another side of Carlisle, a soft side of him that I like. I’d be bummed if that was out.

New Moon stars Alex Meraz, Peter Facinelli, Mike Welch and others attended the Vampire Baseball game in Portland, Oregon today. NMM.org reader Cristin sends in these awesome pics and has this to say–

I got Peter to jump over the fence and take a picture with Susie, one of the women who works at PGE park, then he stayed and took pictures and signed my copy of Eclipes. Then I yelled out to Mike and told him what Peter did and said that he should do the same thing….so he did!! Alex (Paul) was break dancing and just about all the cast took the time to walk around to all the sections and let people take a TON of pictures of them. But I think only our section got a star to jump over the railing. This has to be the most AWESOME cast ever!!!!

New Moon vamp doctor Peter Facinelli has a new interview where he talks about playing baseball in advance of tomorrow’s Vampire Baseball event in Portland, he also dishes on Eclipse, New Moon and why he chose to star in Twilight–

RO: Tell us about the baseball game tomorrow?
PF: We’re going to test our vampire baseball skills in front of a large crowd and I think a lot of people are going to find out that a lot of the cast member s don’t know how to throw a ball and they just made us look good. The Make-A-Wish Foundation asked if I would play and I thought it was for a really good cause. I like doing charity events because I think it’s important to give back. I played baseball when I was younger but I haven’t played in a long time, so it should be fun. I hope Rachelle’s on my team. She’s the one with the wicked curve ball, right? I don’t know, I’m showing up with my old oiled glove and waiting to see where the coach puts me. I don’t even know who the coach is. I might be the coach for all I know. I think Carlisle should definitely be the coach. The difference is tomorrow there are no special effects, whatever speed we run and however we hit the ball is the real deal. We’re going to have no stunt doubles tomorrow.

RO: What did you think about doing a vampire movie?

PF: When I got a phone call from my agent asking if I wanted to do a vampire movie I didn’t want to do it, so I read the book in a day and I fell in love with it. I thought it was a great story. It’s like a throwback to the old Bella Lugosi movies where it had the mystery and seductiveness of the old stories. That is why I enjoyed vampire movies. Somewhere along the line they became horror zombie movies and so that’s what I thought when I first heard of it, but when I read it and realized that it wasn’t about that I said sign me up!

The Twilight Examiner has a new interview with New Moon vamp-dad Peter Facinelli, where he talks about the future of the series, noting he’s used to changing directors with his TV roles–

Whenever I’ve done television (Six Feet Under, or Damages, or Nurse Jackie) we worked with different directors each episode. So, it makes it interesting because they come in and it’s the same material, but you get a different perspective on it. And that’s how it’s been on this one too. Chris Weitz has brought his vision; Catherine Hardwicke had hers. And, now, we get to see what David Slade’s going to bring … It’s exciting.”

Peter also admits that he’d love to work on a Twilight TV series after Breaking Dawn–but only “as long as it’s called the Carlisle Chronicles.”

[thanks, Laura, Daisy, Rachael!]

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!
