The movie has not only drawn blood at the box office – taking $90million in its first six days – but has also made Robert, 22, a multi-millionaire.
Three more Twilight movies, based on books by US author Stephanie Mayer, are already planned in a franchise tipped to rival JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
Unlike the young wizard, Robert’s lovelorn vampire Edward Cullen oozes sex appeal.
Yet the film contains no saucy scenes and very little violence – earning it a thumbs-up from American parents.
Showbiz “bible” Entertainment Weekly said: “Pattinson is a dreamy, sculpted hunk of a teenage vampire.”
And the Los Angeles Times declared: “Twilight makes you wish you were a romantic teen again.”
Robert and his 18-year-old co-star Kristen Stewart, with whom he is having an off-screen romance, have even been described as “a young Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie”.
Both were mobbed by screaming fans on the red carpet before and after Twilight’s Los Angeles premiere earlier this month.
Last night Londoner Robert said: “It’s insane. I’ve had girls throwing themselves at me since the hype started.
“Now the film’s out I can’t walk down the street without being pounced on.
“All my life I’ve hated crowds. Now I only have to step outdoors and I’m at the centre of one.
“It’s very cool but it’s very uncomfortable too.”
Robert, who is rumoured to have dated the Brazilian model Annelyse Schoenberger and Camilla Belle – the current squeeze of boy band star Joe Jonas – beat 5,000 wannabes to land the role of the forever-young vampire.
His agent got him an audition on the strength of his minor role as Cedric Diggory in 2005’s Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix two years later.
But Robert admitted: “I didn’t think I stood a chance so I put the audition off for months.
“I assumed it would be like a modelling job and I thought I was probably already ruled out because I wasn’t hitting the gym and the character is meant to have this amazing body.
“In the end my friends persuaded me to go for it, so I hit the gym determined not only to get a six-pack but also to get rid of every ounce of fat.”
And his hard work paid off when director Catherine Hardwicke realised he was “the one”.
The 6ft 1in actor sent US fans into a frenzy when he appeared on screen with what seems to be an amazingly impressive “vampire bulge”.
But we can reveal he wore special groin padding in several scenes.
He explained: “The harness I had to wear when I appeared to be flying caused terrible chafing in a certain delicate area.
“So the wardrobe department came up with a snug-fitting groin pad that not only relieved the pain but also kind of enhanced my appearance.”
Twilight is scheduled for release in the UK on December 19.
Thanks to Dana for the link.

"Off-screen romance", my ass... :)
lol
Evening, girls!
"amazingly impressive “vampire bulge”"
Why haven't I noticed this?? Damn, it's time to go see Twilight again.
I love how down the UK news is with whats going on...ha yes they are having an off screen romance with his impressive vampire bulge leading the way.
Hello Ladies!
This is the 2nd article I've read from the UK that stated that Rob and Kristen were dating.
If only.
Um...I just saw Twilight for the third time today...and I surely didn't notice any 'impressive' bulge. And I didn't take my eyes off of Rob.
I wish they were but sadly Oregano was on board for the UK and is probably hanging onto K Stews coat tails in the chilly weather of London as we speak.
LOL Dani! I know what you mean. The guy obviously is not making movies anymore and is happy shadowing his gf and making sure she doesn't get too close to Rob.
"Oregano" Hahahahahaha.
Am I the only one that doesn't want them to date??? Maybe after they finish doing the movies, but right now.. no.
I find it uncomfortable to see ex couples acting together as if they are in love. (Yeah, I know I'm getting ahead of myself and getting them together and breaking them up, but that's just the way I am).
Stella-D you make a fine point. I could see that being a problem should they hook up then have to work together.
I can have patience with this couple and wait for them to hook the love up after the movies. So what they have like 3-4 years before that.
By that time K Stew will be 21-22 and Rob will be 24-25. Yes I think that will work out nicely. I do not see them having a long term relationship, but a very passionate year or so together and ending on the rocks.
Do they get to just make stuff up and print it?
Yes? Good, cause I heard that drunk Rob spent the weekend at a remote Irish cabin with a harem of bodacious women. It's in print now it must be true.
Oh Gawd, the daily article, it's as bad as yesterday's mirror article
Hi Dani, i wrote you a note on the last thread.
Tess, funny!
Dani, oregano, lmao
Stella, I also am against them dating. Can you imagine what all the girls who think that Rob is Edward would start thinking if they were dating? They would think Edward and Bella were real and it would make it even more difficult for Rob to distance himself from the character. It would just be weird.
I see Rob and Kristen having a very Edward/Bella kinda thing going on. They have the desire...they have the feelings...but they can't act on them right now. She needs to rid herself of MA...after 2 years, she might be just be too comfy and secure to move on...but she needs to.
Off screen romance???
They need to get their facts straight!! I guess they will when Kristen lands over there with her bf lol
Tess I've never like that jacket until I read your "chocolate bar jacket"
Thank you.
PMSL @ AJ
Note: He wasn't THAT drunk otherwise he would have just passed out!! ;-) LOL
AJ!
I want to hug you.
I wrote something to you on the last thread.
English muffin. I luv it.
Gawd, I almost had someone in a business meeting today think I was losing it.
IT's like when you take a drink and then laugh and almost spray
I like ROb and Kristen together but think that him and Nikki would make a great couple! ;-)
Everyone who is saying they shouldn't date thank you, that's what I've been saying all along, I think i'm FINALLY rubbing off on you guys.
Alright I put a disclaimer in there cause the article while partly rubbish is still pretty fun with the quotes from Rob. So enjoy it for what it is worth.
Sabrizzle-- I hadn't even thought about that making him seem more like Edward.
It's just a pet peeve of mine, I still can't watch Chase and Cameron in House acting all loving towards each other without thinking, MAN they were going to get married and now have to act like they still do. It creeps me out.
Besides, I'm with Dani on this, I don't see them in a long term relationship, more like an intense one.. a year tops. Dunno.
Oh God Jovie I have a pain in my belly from laughing here!!
I think him and Racquel or Blake Lively;)
Although Kate, Nikki at dinner with his family, was interesting, especially when he rarely gets to be with his family
Ok. This article contradicts many many things he's said in interviews. But I still read it...
Oregano is like Kstews safety blanket.. I guess he's NOT working anymore.
I'm just so happy he's home.. Claire is doing his laundry and feeding him Hobnobs...
Thanks, Kate.
As far as KStew,s he doesn't deserve soul man, english muffin, and they would be fighting like cats and dogs in three freakin long months and then have to work together on two,possibly three movies and have to kiss
she's a cat person, he's a dog person. and that's just the beginning.
Amen to that Tess,
He is a mama's boy, I luv that about him also.
I can see the problem if they dated, broke up and then had to show 'love' onscreen. I guess I never thought that far ahead. But they are young, they have time to figure it out AFTER Twilight.. Heh.
And I'm glad hes home, too...it makes me more relaxed and happy for him.
I've been told by three guys I look like Blake Lively with a better mouth so that's why I put Blake in there;)
Rose, I think long ahead,
very long ahead when it c omes to Rob,
LONg, long, long. Everything about him is long.
It's his word.
I don't think Rob and Kristen would work out, she seems too angsty for him.
Dani, by the time they finish all the promo over there, all of Europe will know you can't make KStew without oregano. *grins*
Good Morning everyone.
Dani- I'm really sorry to read that you're ill. I feel the same way as you about getting sick. I get annoyed at myself.
AJ- I've been hoping to see you on here.. I loved your song the other day.. I laughed, and laughed..
Kate- I went to Catholic school, sooo, there is no such thing a s a GOOD catholic school girl. ;)
Ya I was wondering about the dinner with the family as well plus she was the one who got the music off his laptop and gave it to Catherine AND she went to the KOL concert with him........interesting!!!
I'm thinking Jerry McGuire here when I'm saying
"I'm digging it Jerry"
I hate stopping for quotes.
when I say mama's boy I mean that's a good sign because he sees the importance of women and he respects them I could say more why it's good. Just so it's not too much, which he said on a vid it;s not too much, but she would say so, so I'm digging that.
BellaMum_ That was a magical comment! loved it
awww thanks Tess and good to see you all tonight.
yes and getting music off his laptop without asking, that's crossing boundaries,
I would never get into my guys laptop, I respect privacy too much, if one of my guys went in my computer without me knowing it I wouldn't like it, I would probably break up with him.
LOL Tess I think you're right;-)
Wow Jovie lucky you. I got asked by a nurse where my Mum is if I was in stage shows, you should have seen my face and my cousin fell around the place laughing because there's no way I would perform on a stage! SHe just kept saying "I know you're face" it was so funny!!!
Sorry I have a thing for privacy big time, I know that might be over the top. I prob won't be an easy person to be married too, I 'm a loner and like privacy.
I agree that taking music off his laptop was very intrusive. I love Rob's music, but I feel bad that now he feels like he can't go out and play whenever he wants.
Jov, I used to be persnickety about my privacy too, now I'm married for 22 years with 2 kids, I HAVE no privacy now.. lol
No Jovie I'd be furious if someone took something like that off my Laptop. He obviously didn't mind though!
Thanks Kate, but it'
s not in my favor i look like his sisters it would probably she looks too much like my sisters.
I always lose out on the beautiful brunettes. My first guy I had sex with I kid you not his last name was Cannon, he left me for a brunette, I have had an insecurity about my coloring ever since then sort of.
I think there are a lot of fascinating dynamics involved with the cast of "Twilight".
Still would love to see Jackson and Ashley hook up, too.
I wonder if he's out enjoying himself tonight, well it's 12.35 here so if he is out he's probably clubbing it!
lol. mona
I would Respect Rob's boundaries.
I hope Rob gets to play some of his music in London. You know that would make him feel better!
I hope he is having a freakin wide open laugh and having the time of his life without me.
amen, to that Rose
Well at this stage I'm presuming that I didn't win any of the comps that I entered for tickets for tomorrow night so to console myself I found a girl that makes gorgeous jewellery and she's doing "Twilight" inspired stuff and I ordered a bracelet and an Alice necklace so I'm really looking forward to them. I love Alice.
Oh yeah Rose, I get tickled every time I watch Jackson and Ashley in interviews and he calls her his "wife" too cute!
Here is a really good YouTube vid with clips from the movie and awesome songs its basically a run down of the entire movie over 10min with really great songs that go perfectly with the clips.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElNiJdlfE_E
Those lion and lamb live journal folks come up with some goodies for sure.
Ok I'm off to feed my zoo. Have a great evening everyone!!
And Rob, have fun over there in the pubs and catching up with your friends! Eat lot's of your mom's cooking so you feel better and keep your strength up. Let beautiful London re-energize you.
I was gonna send you that link, Dani. I watched it earlier and it's pretty great. Incredible clips from the movie.
Rose-- I'm with you on the Jackson/Ashley thing.
Good evening girls :)
I love Jackson and Ashely too. They are too cute.
Rose after the whole posting then removing and posting and removing the clips from the movie debabble I thought I would just post the link here instead of on the page.
It is a good one really neat.
Jackson/Ashley have a lot of fans!
The 'wife' thing is really too adorable.
Dani,
I feel responsible for that I'm sorry!!!
Between that and my non smoking thing, I'm sorry.
That video has seriously good quality.
Where did they get those clips? They are amazing, arent they?
I already downloaded it. It's like a mini version of the movie...with all the best parts.
Jovie don't worry about it, it was my fault if anything and its over so no worries whatsoever.
Stella-D that vid is awesome times. Good quality clips indeed. It really is like the whole movie in 10 min and no words just music and clips very well done. I don't subscribe to live journal or I would compliment them on their fantastic work. Good stuff.
Thanks for the link Dani! I've only been able to see Twilight once and I won't be able to see it again for at least another week and a half. This video will help hold me over until then. The music was also very beautiful.
Gah! I love the movie! Great video. And Rob looks hot as hell in the part where he is left alone in the garage.
Jovie/Dani lets not get into the whole clips thing again because I feel SO responsable for that !!
ANYWAY that video is brilliant LOVE IT!! and it's brilliant quality isn't it!
I think I heard Clannad at the end, the music is fantastic!!
Damn, why didn't he sparkle??? Bleeker would have gotten a kick out of it.
You're right. His final quote was PRICELESS.
Dani- I just watched the video link you posted. That was really beautiful. Thank you.
I love the hospital scene, and Kristens facial expressions in the movie are so perfect. I really don't think anyone else could play Bella as well (personal chip on her shoulder aside) She's a gifted actress.
Hi, Everyone!
The Robert & Camilla photo was just on E's The Daily 10.
S
Kate- so you thought it was Clannad as well? Great, so that makes me feel better. I left a comment on asking the person who posted the video the same thing.
Rob in the rain. Need I say more?
Hi, everyone!
That video was beautiful. Was Celtic Woman playing through part of it?
sorry about that I had someone come to the door and my three dogs went nuts.
Thanks Dani.
Kate, why do you feel responsible?Tess, I thought her acting in the hosp bed was really bad, no offense.
Were there even tears? Everyone I was with felt the same after I said that unless they were just agreeing with me, I don't like yes men
And Rose, Rob in the rain--perfect.
correction, i like yes men, I mean i don't like when ppl just agree,
Ya Tess I'm pretty sure it was Clannad either them or Enya but she sounds slightly different,she tends to record layers of her voice but Maire doesn't) so I would go Clannad.
Right have to head to bed it's 1.15am!!!:-0
Night all!!!
I need to get ready for my date so I'll view later.
Nite kate 1:15 wow!
I'm still hating that lipstick.
the hosp scene could of been better. My opinion only
Jovie- I feel responsible because I was the one who posted the links up in the comment sectionand then it became almost a challenge to see how many I could find, just got totally out of hand!
I hope your date goes well Jov! I'm off to go work on some stuff for my PR class but I will be on later also.
Oh Kate, I forgot about that. I don't have a terrific memory.
See I forgot about it already.
You're a sweetie.
Jov- You'll never have to worry about me agreeing for the sake of agreeing. I don't have that gene.
I haven't seen the movie yet (it's not out here until the 18th), but from what I've seen in the bits posted here and there, Kstew does a fantastic job, and I think her acting in the Hospital scene was spot on. It might make me (and others) uncomfortable to see someone so 'needy', but the fact that she made me uncomfortable watching her moved me.
Ooh enhjoy the date Jovie!! ;-)
Right I'm gone this time, this place is bloody addictive LOL
Stella-D I know I was thinking the same thing at that point...Why in the Hell couldn't he sparkle for Bleeker it would have been hilarious.
And the mulberry lipstick on Rob is not necessary. What were they thinking putting that crap on him?
Make-up artist for NM better get his ears with the white paste too, I saw those little pinks shining through in the movie while the rest of him was chalky white.
Thanks Sabrizzle I like your laptop comments.
I just think people should respect boundaries on personal property.
I wouldn't even go through my guys wallet.
His laptop forget it. And if he doesn't trust me and needs to go through my laptop, then that speaks volumes. If she was trying to help him I understand that. Maybe she thinks he needs to be pushed
D- Who are you referring to as Bleeker? I miss so much fun..
I worry about karma so I want to say Nikki did a good thing because I agree that scene was fantastic with his song playing and when he said he thought it was made better,
Dani, I never noticed his ears. There were far most interesting things to see. But I will notice when I go to see it on Friday.
Tess-- Bleeker is this girl in the IMDb board that loves to hate Twilight, and wanted to see twilightits sparkling or something like that. She saw the movie on youtube and read Twilight in 15 minutes and she wanted a good laugh.
I still agree that he looked like an arts and crafts project.
Yeah, Jov, I don't think Nikki was trying to do anything malicious, she was just trying to give Rob a push but I would still be upset if somebody did that to me. I'm a pretty private person so that would really bug me if I were in Rob's position. I wouldn't even want Rob to look at my computer because I have so many pictures of him saved on it that it would be really embarrassing if he saw it.
Hi Ladies! I just now finally had a chance to log on! Man, that video was beautiful. I'm in love all over again...not like I ever really left....
Tess, it wasn't the dialoge that I disagree with it was her portrayal I didn't buy it. If it was him leaving and saying go, she would of been crying and the studdering didn't cover it. The guy that I was with just couldn't understand how the director didn't ask for another take on that shot, or why she chose that one.
When KS is you can't leave me, it's not that, it's the pain, the torture of being without him that wasn't conveyed.
Damn this is good stuff, I have to leave to get ready for my date.
He better be a good kisser tonight.
lol, sabrizzle
Hi Jules!
ahhhh.. I see the light now. Thanks star. (why do I want to type Twinkle too)
I'm going to see it with a friend who's the world most cynical human being! I think she might make me cry during the movie. I keep trying to get her to back out, but she liked the books (which I introduced her too) and she's insisting on going with me. pray for me on the 18th.
Hi and Bye Jov! Have a great time on your date tonight...i'm catching up with a very dear and old friend from high school/college on FB right now!
Haha, good luck with that Tess!
Did she have tears?
Her soul mate is talking of them not being together.
Her words, the timing, the depth of emotion for me was not conveyed. not even close. I f he was leaving I would be like almost getting off the bed and then trying to get up and touch him and being very emotional
I'm a writer so personally I didn't like the screenplay either.
Tess-- I'll pray for ya. LMAO at twinkle. You can use it if you want to. :)
Sabriz- She's interrogating people who've seen it in the states as well! NOOO..
I want to sigh and gasp without censor.
Tess for me when he kisses her on the gazebo after the neck kiss, oh my gawd, that man he has depth.
His expression, I just will never forget it. I think he talks about how he isn't a good actor and I want to say WHAT?
You speak volumes buddy just with your face let alone your body, the words, he is just amazing.
he reminds me so much of james dean in a lot of ways
Jov, I agree that Kristen's performance didn't really convey Bella's emotions that well. My friend who went with me also felt that she didn't really "get" Bella. I would like to stay and chat more, but I must go get some work done now. I'll catch up with you ladies later tonight.
S-I'm going to call you Twinkle from here on out.
Jules_ I'm sending big kisses your way..
Thanks Tess! I could use a big hug and kiss right now...pretty crappy day again.
He's magnetic, his prescence and his instincts.
I can not wait for Little A
Hello lovely ladies.
Jov - sorry I made you laugh in your meeting. People will think you're just a happy person. See? Being Robsessed is a good thing.
Thanks about the song Tess - My girls Jov and Stella were singing in the background.
The thing is, that we weren't seeing the same Bella we knew from the book. This one was more feisty. So, considering that I think KStew did good. Not as well as she could have, but good.
Bye Sabrizzle, I better go too he'll be here at 6:30 and last time he was early.
Jules big hugs to you(((((hugss)))
Everyone will make you feel better.
You have to go back and read the part where AJ calls him
ENGLISH MUFFIN.
I am still smiling at that.
Olive juice Jovie!
This is such good stuff.
I am saying it again, he better be a good kisser tonight. If I have to leave this and not have a good make out session I'll kill myself.
ditto stella
Jules I almost sprayed in a business meeting thinking of AJ's comment. The thought conviently came into my mind again when I was drinking.
I see my avatar too much again.
I love that photo but not that much, i know i type fast but I also see it's 5:42.
I really gotta go.
((((HUGS everyone))))
I read that wrong LOL!!! I thought you said you got spayed.
That wouldn't go well for your date.....
Jules, I almost sprayed the guy sitting across from me.
I barely caught it. Then I chocked and I think he thought I was crazy. I couldn't cover enough why I was laughing I think he thought I was laughing at him.
I couldn't say no I'm laughing at AJ
Okay good night everyone.
Please have fun tonight.
Be Safe
So, if Rob's in England eating Mama P's cooking is he going to get 'fat' again? Cause my oh my he was probably tippin the scales at 162.5 in those 'fat' pictures from the other day.
Stella - all this time I thought Bleeker was a guy on IMDB.
AJ-- I'm not really sure myself. But I'm going with girl.
Rob is tall, he could use a little extra weight. Specially all that yummy Yorkshire Pudding, Trifle and other goodies at Christmas Time!
Jules - LOL at your spayed comment!
I like fat Rob.
But then I also like drunk Rob, skinny Rob, greasy-dandruffy Rob, I'm-a-complete-dick Rob, big hard tool Rob and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rob.
I'm not sure there's any version of Rob I don't like. Oh, I take that back - zygote Rob is a little iffy for me.
My mind is all over the place tonight. I'm too tired to read thru the comments...can someone give me a quick break down of what's happening?
Okay...never mind. Thanks AJ! I think that last comment of yours just summed it all up! LOL!
Dani/Goz - I'm not sure we've posted this Interview from ComCast at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVMVEdI2eAA
Hi, girls, I'm back from before...what did I miss??? lol
Let's see, Rob's pink ears, "Oregano", jackson and his "wife", Jovie sp(r)aying people, Twinkle, and Mama P. cooking yorkshire pudding for her underweight hunk of a son...have I got it right???:)
Yes I did post that a while back AJ thank you. I did just post some footage of Rob meeting the fans before the Twilight afterparty and oh he is too sweet to people and chews gum very sexily.
Hi Ellie! Miss me?
Jules--Yes, in fact, I did! :) :) :)
What's everyone up to tonight?
I'm still procrastinating on those damn student evals...
Jules--Just read your email--Too effing funny!!! You lazy , lazy lady! LMFAO Were any of the guys cute???
new post. move up ladies. hi ellie!
I feel the need to say: I'm a bahmpire.
Bahhaaaha
Gotta love British tabloids.... damn, that must mean the "Chupacrabras" is not real after all.... LOL
