Enjoy....cause I am!

Robert Pattinson Schools Us




While the visitor to the New Moon set did not get to meet Robert Pattinson, she was able to glean 15 facts about him from her obsessive stalking keen observations.

1. Robert Pattinson is a sugar hound. There was a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups wrapper on the seat of Pattinson’s on-set chair and a can of Coke on the armrest. I toyed with the idea of stealing the items for some cash on eBay, but both were gone the next time I walked by. Did he finish them? Throw the rest away? We’ll never know. I drew the line at digging through his garbage.

2. Like the rest of the cast, Pattinson’s canvas director’s chair had his character’s name (that would be “Edward Cullen”) embroidered on the backrest. On Robert’s chair, however, “Edward Cullen” was covered with yellow tape, on which “ROBERT” was written in bold black marker. Seems our fantasy boy likes to keep things "real."

3. I watched Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and Robert film a scene in the Volturi lair. During this dramatic play-by-play, Robert wears an ankle-length maroon cloak very bathrobe in its design. It appeared to be velvet, but I couldn’t get close enough to touch him. It. I mean it.

4. Edward’s presence in the novel as a disembodied voice in Bella’s head clearly wouldn’t do for fans hungry for some larger-than-life RPattz on the big screen. The filmmakers recognized that a largely Pattinson-less New Moon would do little to satisfy fans; therefore, Edward appears to Bella in vision form. Sexy, sexy vision form.

5. Shooting these vision scenes required a massive (think warehouse-wall-sized) green screen and a camera on tracks that slowly zoomed in towards our boy. I got to watch Robert film one of these apparitions, and while he didn’t actually utter any lines, he did display a series of intense facial expressions. He also sported a very dapper gray suit.

6. Robert seemed ultra-eager to end his work day while filming some of this apparition work. After a particular take, Pattinson consulted with director Chris Weitz. A synopsis:

Weitz: (While inaudible, the director seems to be telling our star that another take is necessary.)

RP: “No! It’s fine, it’s fine!”

Weitz: (Inaudible speaking. Gesturing.)

RP: “F--k.”(Walks back to the set. Steps on his mark. The dolly rolls towards him. RPattz makes a pained-looking face. Weitz yells "Cut!" The whole process takes about seven seconds.)

7. Robert is friendly with his fans. When Rachelle Lefevre, who plays the villainous Victoria, introduced her little sister to the star, he seemed generally affable, shaking her hand and flashing a big smile. Then he laughed, and I think an angel somewhere got its wings.

8. Robert is alarmingly, nerve-wrackingly handsome in person. He also seems to have some sort of gravitational pull, as every woman on set, not limited to, but certainly including me, inched closer to him as covertly as possible when he was in the vicinity. He didn’t seem to care or notice.

9. The picture below (from the March 2009 issue of GQ) hangs in the New Moon production office at Vancouver Sound Studios:




There were also pictures of him coming out of the printer as I walked by it. Literally. Everyone in the buzzy office seemed to be as dazzled by him just as we, of the general population, are -- especially the harem of young, attractive women working there.

10. I stood behind Stephenie Meyer while watching Pattinson, Stewart, Ashley Greene, Michael Sheen, Cameron Bright and Dakota Fanning film a scene in the Volturri lair. It went a little something like this:

Edward, Bella and Alice stand in front of the Volturri. Edward, looking many gray shades of haggard, takes a dramatic step toward the vampires and seems to hit an invisible wall. He crumbles to the ground, writhing in pain. Alice, wearing red gloves, crouches down to tend to him.

Bella: “Stop, stop! Try it on me. Just stop hurting him!” [Wait. She for serious says "Try it on me"? *sigh*]

This scene was done at least five times, and despite it taking place on the other side of the set’s massive wall, I could hear the thud of Pattinson’s body hitting the ground each time. There’s no way this felt good. The man suffers for his art.

11. Robert has the confident, swaggering walk of a guy that does well for himself with the ladies. This success surely isn’t hurt by his carved physique, which I was able to thoroughly assess, as Rob’s cloak/robe was tied loosely enough to expose his chest. Although it was painted a vampiric shade of white, it was worth the risk of getting bit for.

12. Regardless of the international pandemonium he causes, Rob is, according to co-star Lafevre, really just a humble, friendly guy.

She says, “Twilight was a very ego-less set, and the thing that’s really a relief is that everyone has stayed the same way. Outside we may be able to go outside and just get in a cab, whereas Rob has to do CIA-evasive maneuvers to meet at the same restaurant, but when we get to the restaurant and we sit down, everything is exactly the same.”

13. People cater to the boy. One of the stage managers made a point of putting together a plate of food for Robert so he wouldn’t miss a meal while filming, saying: “Just tell me what Robert wants, and I’ll set it aside for him.”

This must be what it’s like to be treated like a movie star, as no one offered me anything to eat.

14. Even Taylor Lautner has Pattinson envy. When I asked Lautner the one bonus power he would bestow on Jacob, he responded, “I want to steal one of Edward’s powers.” Seems even werewolves get jealous.

15. The only time I saw the very elusive Kristen Stewart not on a monitor was when she walked by me on her way to the set. She was with Robert. Maybe this means all those secret relationship rumors are true ... nah, I’m pretty sure it was because they were both to be in a scene together. So I'd like to think ...

Robert Pattinson in Vanity Fair?


Could it be? Will Robert Pattinson grace the cover of Vanity Fair just as Demi Moore, Jackie O & RFK, Heath Ledger, Cindy Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor? In a word Vanity Fair can be accurately described as provocative.

“Movie stars dominate the covers [of Vanity Fair],” the critic and V.F. contributor James Wolcott has astutely observed, “not only because their good looks are enticing but also because Hollywood [has become] the international Valhalla of vanity, the pagan temple and world capital of mass illusion and myth. Hollywood’s faces are the most recognizable form of currency in our entertainment culture.

No word yet on if he's even been shot for VF, but I think it's safe to assume it will be out this fall in conjunction with the November release of New Moon.

Vanity Fair isn't entirely new for Pattinson...

He and Kristen Stewart, along with 10 of their Twilight costars, were featured in an inside story in December in a sexy shoot by celebrity photographer Peggy Sirota.

In April, Pattinson and his big bushy mess of beautiful hair graced the cover of GQ.

As for the possibility of an upcoming Vanity Fair cover, reps for the mag and the actor did not immediately comment.

Why do we have the feeling Barbara Walters is going after Pattinson for her next Most Fascinating People of the Year special that airs on Oscar night? If Miley Cyrus made the cut in 2008, our favorite vampire must surely be in the running for 2009.

Rob's Rising Star



Forbes Magazine has named Rob number 7 on their list of Fastest Rising Stars.


"Pattinson, tied for seventh place with fellow vampire Anna Paquin of True Blood, has created a teenage heartthrob empire since the release of Twilight in November 2008. The film, whose opening box office earnings were $70 million, played in theaters for over four months. Pattinson has been featured on several magazine covers, including the April 2009 cover of GQ magazine, and is slated to have lead roles in three upcoming films, including the sequel to Twilight in theaters this November."


Nice to see him getting the recognition he deserves!

GQ Writer Apologizes for Offending Robert Pattinson Fans

A writer from GQ.com by the name of Alex Bilmes had some harsh words for us fans of Robert Pattinson only to quickly back pedal the following day due the response he received.

On June 3rd he posted this snarky comment:
I'm posting this stuff on GQ.COM, a site aimed primarily at British men. I take it you're not all regular visitors, so how does it work? Do you sit by your terminals with your hands down your pants, staring at your Twilight screensavers and waiting for your "Robert Pattinson" Google Alerts to ping, drawing your attention to some tossed off slandering of your hero's name? In the absence of a sexy vampire in your lives, what the hell is eating you women?

And the next day he had this to say:
I feel I owe you all an apology. You're right: What I wrote yesterday was snarky and dishonest and mostly designed to rile you and I'm not proud of it. I'm sorry.

The truth is I am genuinely curious about Robert's appeal. I'm a heterosexual man, 36 years old, gainfully employed, in a relationship. We simply don't have these kind of obsessions, and I for one find them hard to understand. I mean, I think Megan Fox is attractive, but I don't spend much time thinking about her. Certainly don't feel the need to communicate with fellow Meganites, to defend her when she's maligned, to shout my love from the message-board rooftops.

This is not in any way to belittle your feelings for Robert or denigrate your activities online or off-. None of this is meant to sound condescending. I'm a person who considers himself reasonably intelligent and who spends his working life monitoring, reporting on and interacting with celebrity culture. I'm fascinated by fame, and famous people, and drawn to them for reasons I don't fully understand myself. So I can empathise with your love for Robert, even if I wonder at its intensity.

We all know his antecedents, of course, from James Dean to Leonardo DiCaprio. There's nothing new about the worship of screen idols, but it's been a long time since I've seen anything approaching the strength of emotion that surrounds Robert. That's why I'm so curious.

It's been enlightening reading your comments (even the ones that questioned my girlfriend's sanity). At the risk of using yet another trite vampire metaphor, can we now call a halt to the bloodletting?

I'd hate to leave it like this.

**Haha...while I think I can possibly accept his apology for insulting me and all the other RP fans, I cannot forgive him for liking Megan Fox. But that's just me. What do you think about his comments and apology? Let us know in the comments.

Thanks to the Twilight Examiner for the tipoff.

GQ: The Reaction: Girl, Infatuated



As editors of a men’s magazine who put Twilight actor Robert Pattinson on April cover we’re aware of a few things. First, that Pattinson has a very promising career ahead of him. (In his profile, Alex Pappademas declared that Pattinson “seethes like Warren Beaty.”) Second, that our readers agree with us — and a few do so for reasons not entirely related to his acting skills. (Sarah Moore from Raleigh, North Carolina, wrote: “The cover should read “Hide your wives,’ not ‘Hide your Daughters.’ I can assure you that I, and many other twenty-and thirtysomethings, would gladly trample the 15-year-olds to get a piece of that.”) Which brings us to our third point, that, yes, there is a moblike, high-pitched, rabid following of tweens -mostly girls - who are not generally our demographic, who deeply love Pattinson, and who know more about him than any employee wandering the halls at ’s headquarters. That is, except for ’s in-house Twilight enthusiast and Pattinson-picture-kisser, Raha Naddaf. In an attempt to bridge their world and ours, we recently enlisted Naddaf (27) to reach out to a group of 11- and 12-year-old Pattinson diehards. They kindly took her call during a sleepover.

What do you like about Pattinson?
Abigail: His face.
Olivia: His Sexiness.

If he were at your slumber party, what would you ask him?
[simultaneously] Would you marry me?

How many times have you guys seen Twilight?
Olivia: Twice

Twice? That’s it?
Olivia: Oh, I’ll watch it more.
Maggie: I saw it three times.

How long did it take you to read all four books in the series?
Olivia: A year.
Abigail: I’ve only read the first one.
Maggie: Seven months

It took me four days
[Silence]

I think I’m a bigger fan than all of you
[More Silence]

What do you think about the rumors that Pattinson dated Camilla Belle?
[Thirteen seconds of mortified screaming.]
Olivia: We don’t like her.
[Three-minute conversation about the Jonas Brothers, with one girl concluding, "They wear promise rings, but that doesn't mean anything."]

Now for the big question: Do you ever imagine yourselves making out with Pattinson?
[Again with the silence]

I do, all the time.
Abigail: We’re only 12.

I don't really like Robert Pattinson

I have been blessed to NOT have kids or close to kids who are into Hannah Montana but I found myself reading her recent Teen Vogue interview anyway (don't judge me!) and found it laughable when she said
"I'm not a huge Rob Pattinson fan. Girls aren't really in love with Rob; they're
in love with Edward."
Well that explains it! I don't really find Rob all that and then some, I want EDWARD! You mean after months and months of drooling over Rpattz, some 16 yr old finally set me straight!

Ummm sorry I like Rob for Rob. I don't secretly call him Edward or think if I meet him and offer him a moose for food he'd actually eat it nor do I think he has 2 yummy vampire brothers waiting for me to cut my finger so they could attack me.
I think 90% of the Robobessed peeps out there knows there more to him than the character Edward Cullen just like we know she's NOT HANNAH MONTANA. Hell her name isn't even Miley her parents named her Destiny (she changed it to Miley like 3 yrs ago....I read too many gossip sites to know this crap!).


Its safe to say when I think of Robert Pattinson I don't think of him playing Edward Cullen....nope not at all....I like a little more color in the cheeks and I miss his beautiful eyes. *sigh*





No I think of Rob when he's at his best and we all know I'm talking about the GQ spread he did last month.



Now that's what I'm talking about....Miley you stick with your way too old boyfriend and I will continue to drool over Rob not because he plays a character named Edward Cullen because he's Hella FINE!!!



LOL ....off to drool!

No man should be this SEXY!!!











Robert Pattinson is one of the fortunate guys that doesn't have to try to be sexy, he just is! Here's some out takes from his GQ photo shoot!


I have to thank TwiCrack Addict for the pics!!!


Robert Pattinson loves Patty.....the Dog


Robert Pattinson revealed to GQ magazine he thought his high school girlfriend was cheating on him and would get so upset he'd make himself cry.

"He said: "I remember when I was a teenager thinking my girlfriend was cheating on me, and going around riling myself up. Pretending to cry.
"It was totally illegitimate — I actually didn't feel anything. I went to some pub and then went crying all the way home.
"And I got into my dog's bed. I was crying and holding on to the dog. I woke up in the morning, and the dog was looking at me like, 'You're a fake.'"
To make things worse Rob found out that his girlfriend hadn't even cheated on him.
He explains: "I thought I'd seen her with another guy, but she wasn't even there. I spent three days apologizing to the dog."
Rob absolutely adores his dog Patty and hates having to leave her in London with his parents.
He won't get to see her for a while as he is filming New Moon and Eclipse back to back.

UPDATED GQ Magazine Details with Coverboy Robert Pattinson











By Alex Pappademas; Photographs by Nathaniel Goldberg


Two years ago, Robert Pattinson was a forgotten extra in a ‘Harry Potter’ movie. Then he got cast as a blue-balled vampire in ‘Twilight,’ the year’s kazillion-dollar movie franchise, and every woman in America over 14 wants him. Too bad he’s not sure he wants them.

A few days after we meet Robert Pattinson for the first time, we will call up his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, who will say this about him:
"He can’t lie," she says. "It makes things a little scary for him sometimes. But it’s my favorite thing about him."
Funny—by then, it would be our favorite thing about him, too. We spend a Tuesday afternoon with Pattinson, in a little bakery-cafĂ© on Doheny Drive, in West Hollywood, and the whole time, he seems to be telling the truth compulsively, heedlessly, helplessly, as if he’d been shot with a sodium pentothal dart while parking his car.
Pattinson’s other problem—he admits this early on—is that he can’t abide a conversational lull.
"I just say the first thing that comes into my head," he said, "out of nervousness. During interviews I’m literally shitting my pants. I don’t want there to be a silence, because I’ll start crying."

You can read the rest of the story HERE.

Robert Pattinson graces the April cover of GQ Magazine

It says: Interview With A Vampire Robert Pattinson is here - Hide Your Daughters.

**You better hide your mothers too!!!

This is the April 2009 issue, that should be on store shelves any day now, definitely by the 24th of March. Just keep checking & if you get scans we would love to have them!

Thank You Sooooo much to lenn14 on Pattinson Life LJ and the always awesome Cullen Boys Anonymous for giving us the goods!
