OMGZ!: Twilight's Jackson Rathbone hits Philly

Twilight's Jackson Rathbone recreates how he threw out the first pitch at Saturday's Phillies game.

While TwiHards line up for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (in area theaters on Wednesday) let's look back on the weekend that was and the moments we shared with Jackson Rathbone, the smiling, accommodating young gent who just happens to be on the verge of something or other. Normal person translation: Rathbone is Jasper to the Twi-nitiated and will play Sokka in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming The Last Airbender (out on Thursday). After he hit the smoke and heat of The Last Airbender PR appearance with costar Nicola Peltz as part of Saturday's Taste of Philadelphia fest and threw out the first ball during Saturday's Phillies game, the young Mr. Rathbone got dragged to the Piazza at Schmidts for a screening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Rathbone hit up the back room at PYT — Tommy Up was quite amused. I caught up to Rathbone and his mob. He told the crowd what it was like not being Robert Pattinson and not kissing lipless Kristen Stewart.Rathbone then reminded fans that he had spent time in Philly filming with Night Shyamalan (now I feel bad for him). Quicker than you can say "I can't believe HBO let Snoop Dogg do that stupid Sookie Stackhouse rap," Rathbone was gone. Like a vampire. Or a kid who surely had another PR appearance to hit up.
