Didn't the gang look lovely together at the New Moon premiere last night?

Too bad they weren't all there. Rachelle Lefevre was MIA.

But the actress, who plays Victoria in both Twilight and New Moon but was famously dismissed for Eclipse, wasn't a no-show just because of sour grapes. It turns out last night was sour for her for completely separate reasons.

"2 fans at the premiere: w/ Honey in hospital & being fired from Eclipse tonight was just 2 emotional 4 me & I couldn't manage it. So sorry," she twittered last night.

Honey is a dog she adopted from an animal rescue agency—and who recently inspired her to become the spokeswoman for Best Friends' Puppies Aren't Products campaign.

Honey's health—and Rachelle's ability to attend the premiere—wasn't looking promising earlier yesterday, when she tweeted, "Honey is in the hospital and I don't know what's going to happen. I wonder if you can die from a broken heart..."

We wish the honey and her Honey the very best.
