Frederic, Prince von Anhalt Crashes the Première of the Film, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two. Plus, Other News. (VIDEOS)

Yay, he’s back!

On November 12, 2012, the infamous Frederic, Faux Prince von Anhalt, crashed the première of the film, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two, held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.  Somehow the faux prince managed to sneak onto the red carpet and photobomb  Nikki Reed, Robert Pattinson and others as they posed for photographers.

The faux prince also signed autographs for Twilight fans. Sadly, those who received his princely signature had no idea who the hell he was.  Any way, during his time on the red carpet the German television network, RTL, asked him for an interview as well as my local Los Angeles television station, KABC. Naturally, the faux prince obliged, I mean, he would never turn down an interview or photo-op.  He loves the camera.   🙂

On November 1, 2012, the Frederic attended the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Gala held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City, California.  Guests in attendance included international superstar, Barry Manilow, bankrupt R&B singer, Toni Braxton, and “… singing sensation Chris Mann.”

Yeah, I have no idea who he is.

Any who, the gala event benefited the Board of Governors Heart Stem Cell Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute.

And, finally, if you have six minutes to burn and want to watch a funny video with the faux prince and Alexander, Prince von Anhalt mindlessly wandering and driving in L.A. watch the video below.  By the way, if you are wondering, “Who in the heck in Alexander, Prince von Anhalt?” well, he’s a faux prince like Frederic. And, a total douchebag.
