Stories are breaking all over the city (and all over the web) that fans have been descending on the 7000-seat Nokia Theatre near downtown Los Angeles in preparation for the premiere of the box-office movie The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which does not take place until this coming Thursday.

The fans who have gathered there are hoping to secure spots for the red carpet premiere on Thursday night.
