Robert Pattinson was right when he sent word that the "New Moon" after-party at the Box Thursday night was too crowded. But that may have just been an excuse to hang out with co-star Kristen Stewart.

Proclaiming that he looked no older than 31, he proceeded to hurl himself into a mosh pit of admirers, who provided a puffy landing.
