The fan frenzy got a lot more frenzied on Wednesday when Peter Facinelli, aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen, made a house call to the L.A. Live entertainment complex, where more than a thousand Twi-hards have been camping out in anticipation of the big Eclipse premiere. 

E! Online will be livestreaming from the red carpet tonight starting at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m ET!

"I just want to get out there and sign as many autographs as I can," the actor told E! News about his appearance at Twilight tent city with costars Jackson Rathbone, Julia Jones and Billy Burke. "The fans have been out here for three days and I want it to be worthwhile for them."

Speaking of tents, Peter admits to not necessarily wanting to sleep in one, but that he does have an RV.

"Maybe I should park my RV and camp out tonight," he said.

Something tells us there's more than a few folks who'd be OK with that.
