Peter Facinelli Takes NY By Storm

Peter Facinelli takes New York by storm, starts filming 'Nurse Jackie' season two tomorrow

As planned, Peter Facinelli made his way to Middletown, New York for an autograph signing with fans. Part of the proceeds from the signing went to benefit Facinelli's newest charity, Alex's Lemonade, who tweeted that the event was a "huge success!"

According to the Times Herald-Record's Alyssa Sunkin,
"It's very humbling to have people come here and want to meet me," Facinelli said of his celebrity status. "It amazes me."
But he's now using that status for the benefit of others, using this event and many others like it as a way to promote good causes. Fans purchased autographs for $25 or photographs for $40, and a portion of those proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, an organization that fights childhood cancer.
"It feels really good to be able to use my name to actually spread awareness ...," Facinelli said. "It's been great to able to use it in a positive way."

Facinelli took to Twitter after the event, too, to state that "NY fans were amazing today. Loudest screamers yet!" He also stated that his work on-set the second season for Nurse Jackie would begin today as well and that he would return to filming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse next week. Eclipse director David Slade recently explained that the situation on-set Eclipse was rather "wolfy," so it makes perfect sense that Facinelli's work on Nurse Jackie would take place now. Season two for Nurse Jackie was greenlit for a second season shortly after the very successful premiere this June.

WALLKILL — The only thing Serena Smacchia talks about these days is "Twilight."

The 11-year-old from New Windsor is obsessed with the vampire romance novels penned by Stephenie Meyer and brought to the big screen last year.

Smacchia has read the four novels six times, and not an inch of bare wall space can be found in her bedroom, as it's covered with "Twilight" posters. And now she can add an autograph to her collection.

On Sunday, Smacchia and hundreds of other "Twilight"-crazed fans got the chance to meet one of the actors behind the movie series.

In an event sponsored by the Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, Peter Facinelli, who portrays the vampire Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the head of the Cullen clan, visited the Galleria at Crystal Run in the Town of Wallkill to give autographs and take photos with his adoring fans.

"It's very humbling to have people come here and want to meet me," Facinelli said of his celebrity status. "It amazes me."

But he's now using that status for the benefit of others, using this event and many others like it as a way to promote good causes. Fans purchased autographs for $25 or photographs for $40, and a portion of those proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, an organization that fights childhood cancer.

"It feels really good to be able to use my name to actually spread awareness ...," Facinelli said. "It's been great to able to use it in a positive way."

That resonated with Alison Demarest, 38, and Cathy Manger, 39, both of Montgomery.

"It's a great cause, and, as a mother, it's great to see him getting involved to help children," said Manger, who brought along her two children, Emma, 7, and John, 10.

But that's not the only reason the two women came to the event.

"He's easy (on) the eyes," Demarest said with a chuckle.

Fans waited hours for Facinelli. Joe Iorio, 24, of Goshen, and his friends Alicia Crain, 21, and Jenn Bickel, 20, both of Warwick, were the first in line for autographs. They arrived at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Meeting Peter Facinelli!

Peter Facinelli made an appearance today at the Galleria At Crystal Run Mall in Middletown, New York! I was fortunate enough to be there to support him and the cause he came so far to support!

Alex's Lemonade Stand !

It was amazing to meet him and chat, albeit briefly. He really cares about his fans and it was awesome for me because he knew who I was when I told him that I am an Appinelli and remembered my name which was pretty funny!!

I had a great time meeting some friends from Peter's iPhone Application! It was great to put faces to names! Amanda and Erik! You rock!!

Soo... check out Alex's Lemonade Stand and see how you too can support this phenomenal charity!!
