Peter Facinelli Delivers Love Letters to Rob Pattinson

He may play Robert Pattinson's adopted vampire dad in the Twilight movies – but in real life, Peter Facinelli is more like the Brit's wingman.
"People always come up to me say, 'Oh my god ... can you give this letter to Rob?" the actor tells Women's Health for its December issue. "I've become the pony express to Rob Pattinson."
Not that it goes both ways.
"I've yet to get one letter from [him]," Facinelli, who's married to Jennie Garth, says. "Maybe he's hoarding them."

Peter Facinelli's Twilight Splurge? A Tesla!

Peter Facinelli's skyrocketing success as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the hit Twilight series – and as Dr. Fitch Cooper on Showtime's Nurse Jackie – hasn't changed the down-to-earth star – but he has allowed himself one special treat: "I bought a Tesla S Model!"
The actor, who has been working for more than a decade in Hollywood, suddenly finds himself starring in one of the hottest franchises around, but he says, "I've always had work and that's always been a good thing, so there's nothing really new there."
"But, I did buy a new car, which I am excited about," Facinelli, 36, told PEOPLE at TwiCon 2009, a Twilight fan gathering in Dallas, last week. "It's a coupe sedan. It's all electric. It's beautiful."

Jennie Garth Reveals Her Secret Crush
Originally posted 08/04/2009 05:35PM
Should Peter Facinelli be concerned? Jennie Garth was positively giggly Monday night as she confessed to having a crush. "He's so cute, he's like a little boy, you just want to take him and hug him," she gushed. "And he has a cute little haircut!"
Not to worry. The 90210 actress is referring to Dr. Cooper, Facinelli's character on Showtime's Nurse Jackie, which was recently picked up for a second season. "He's my favorite character Peter's ever played," she says.
Garth, who has three girls with Facinelli – Luca, 12, Lola, 6, and Fiona, 2 – isn't such a fan of his schedule, however. "We just had a lady at our house trying to get our calendars to sync up. I said, 'Put his agenda on the family calendar.' She clicked the button and the whole calendar lit up. I was like, 'Take that off! He's too busy!' "

Peter Facinelli Makes Good on Twitter Bet

What connects Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," a grown man dancing down Hollywood Boulevard in a bikini, a line of vampire fans and a $10,000 donation to the Christopher Reeve Foundation?
Why, Twilight star Peter Facinelli's Twitter page, of course.
Facinelli signed autographs for free at the Affliction clothing store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles Tuesday as a give back to fans who helped him win a bet with his friend Rob DeFranco that he couldn't get 500,000 Twitter followers. "I kind of took this little bet, that was a silly little thing and I tried to make something positive out of it," Facinelli told PEOPLE.
The bet was initially started when DeFranco asked Facinelli if he could have Facinelli's on-set Twilight director's chair, which had Facinelli's name and the film's logo on it. Facinelli said "no" to his friend, but gave it away anyway after holding a free online drawing where fans around the country could register to win the unique item.

Jennie Garth's Heart Is Fine, Just Not Her Foot

Though afflicted with a heart ailment, Jennie Garth leads a normal life, the 90210 actress's husband, Twilight star Peter Facinelli. tells PEOPLE.
"My wife has a leaky valve, which is pretty common. A lot of people have a leaky valve and they don't even know that they have it," Facinelli, 35, said at the Manhattan premiere party for his new Showtime series Nurse Jackie, starring Edie Falco.
"My wife is an advocate for getting your heart checked, because her father had heart disease, so she found out she has a leaky heart. But there's really nothing you can do for it, so you just leave it alone."

Twilight's Peter Facinelli, who will reprise his role as the bloodsucking father figure Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the sequel New Moon, could get used to the life of a vampire – at least when it comes to the hours they keep.
"I love night shoots. Everybody else is [tired] by like two, three in the morning, which is weird because I'm the old guy!" Facinelli tells PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past on Monday night.
"They should be the ones that should be like party hardy all night long," jokes the 35-year-old of his young costars including Robert Pattinson, 22, Kristen Stewart, 19, and 17-year-old Taylor Lautner. "At five in the morning I was like, 'I could go another 10 hours!' And they were like, 'Crash!' "
