From Gossip Cop
ANNOUNCER: Today, all new. For the first time, the worldwide Twilight phenomenon comes to “Oprah.”
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): They are the hottest thing on the planet. Robert Pattinson. You know there are all these rumors about the two of you dating. Is it true? Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning. We sent them knocking on doors.
ROBERT PATTINSON: Hello.
GROUP (GIRLS): (scream)
FATHER: Oh, my god.
GIRL’S MOTHER: He’s so hot.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Walking into your houses.
GROUP (GIRLS): (scream)
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Why grown women say this has revved up their love lives.
ANNOUNCER: Next.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Okay, So I just want to say this. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already know this, but it is really the hottest thing going on in the world right now. It defines the word “phenomenon.” Eighty-five million books sold. Can you believe that?
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Eighty-five million books, which so excites me that people are reading. Box-office records just shattered, crushed, and it has unleashed a worldwide yearning for romance. Viewers tell us that it’s literally changed their relationships. Moms are bonding with their daughters. Wives are reconnecting with their husbands.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): “The Twilight Saga” is more than a best-selling sensation or billion-dollar blockbuster.
GROUP (FANS): Edward. Edward. Edward.
FAN: We’ve been here since 4 A.M.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): It is the phenomenon that sparked a frenzy around the world. “Twilight’s” explosive popularity is giving Beatlemania a run for its money, turning its stars–Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner–into the most popular actors on our planet.
KRISTEN STEWART (AS BELLA SWAN): Kiss me.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): This epic love story has grown women swooning like schoolgirls.
STEPHANIE (41): I’m a mother of two, a corporate attorney, and a closet “Twilight” junkie.
WANDA (45): It just makes me want to ooh ahh.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): They are yearning for every detail of the tortured romance between a sexy vampire, his girlfriend, and a werewolf with abs of steel. For those who have a thirst for action, passion, and heart-stopping suspense…
KRISTEN STEWART (AS BELLA SWAN): No, Edward. Don’t.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): …”Twilight’s” vampires and werewolves do not disappoint.
ROBERT PATTINSON (AS EDWARD CULLEN): You’re my only reason to stay alive.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Ho ho ho. Okay. The stars of “Eclipse” are here. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner. They are here.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Hello. Hello. Okay. Okay. You just want to do that for an hour, or can I talk? All right. Welcome, welcome, welcome. So does this happen everywhere you go?
ROBERT PATTINSON: Not everywhere.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Not everywhere. I will say this: everybody in the audience saw “Eclipse” last night.
ROBERT PATTINSON: I didn’t even know that.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): You didn’t know that?
ROBERT PATTINSON: I had no idea.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): That’s because you were going around knocking on doors. You didn’t. Everybody saw the movie last night, and I guess we liked it, right?
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): You guys joined forces. That was good to see. Good to see. So, what does it feel like, Taylor, to be in the midst of this phenomenon? It really is a phenomenon, and you know, the closest thing that I can recall, my generation, was the Beatles. And I was one of those people screaming for Paul McCartney, and now people are screaming for you.
TAYLOR LAUTNER: It’s really unlike anything else, I mean, obviously, but it’s amazing. I mean, I know over the past two years, I’ve had the time of my life, so I mean, I couldn’t be more thankful.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): But what does it feel like? Does it feel like being in the–I can’t imagine–like in the eye of a storm or something? I don’t know.
TAYLOR LAUTNER: Yeah, it’s different. It’s almost like you live two different worlds.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yeah?
TAYLOR LAUTNER: You go into that world, and then you completely vanish and you go back to your regular life.
OPRAH WINFREY (HOST): Yeah. And for you, sir, you really do go into a different world and come back, yeah?
ROBERT PATTINSON: Yeah. I mean, that’s a good way of putting it. I mean, I think–it’s weird. I think as we’ve been so sort of central to the whole thing since the beginning, and it started really when no one knew anything about it.
