'Twilight: Eclipse' premiere: Robert Pattinson makes time for Twihards

The stars of "Twilight: Eclipse" may have skipped talking to a major chunk of invited press outlets at the Thursday night (June 24) LA premiere of the third installment of the "Twilight Saga" films.

But they made sure that their loyal Twihard fans -- many of whom had camped outside the Nokia Theatre in downtown LA since Monday -- got some up-close-and-personal facetime with their Twidols.

Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Elizabeth Reiser, Anna Kendrick, Dakota Fanning (wearing Kiss-like sparkly platform heels) and Nikki Reed, all greeted fans very enthusiastically.

And ... wait, what's "90210" star Annalynne McCord -- wearing a strapless flesh colored gown -- doing there signing autographs for "Twilight" fans? 

Oh right, she's still dating (we think) Twi-stud Kellan Lutz, so that must make her officially part of Cullen vampire clan. Or does she just loves the massive outpouring of red carpet attention?

Either way, McCord looked veeeery hot and she had way more photographers screaming her name than Dakota Fanning or Kristen Stewart -- who initially signed autographs but then bailed from the entire second half of the carpet as fast as she could.
