Poor Dakota Fanning.

The ‘Push’ star was stuck in gridlock and didn’t actually make it to her session. (An overturned big-rig filled with meat on the I-5 delayed many heading down from Los Angeles this morning.) But she had the good fortune of being ushered in for just a minute, just as the “Twilight” kids made their exits.

Of course, the screaming started back up once she was in view.

An out of breath but smiling Fanning ran to the podium. “I was in a car for seven hours, so I’m late and I’m so sorry,” she squealed. “I just wanted to say hello to all of you and I hope you enjoyed the ‘Push’ footage and that you enjoy the movie when it comes out in February! Thanks guys!’

And with that, she was off and Hall H was quickly emptied.
