From GossipCop.com:
Since Gossip Cop has become the destination for accurate “Twilight” stories, a production source came directly to us with details of the stars’ drama.
There’s a reason you haven’t seen much of Robert Pattinson, other than on the set: “Twilight” filmmakers are trying to protect the handsome young star from the prying lenses of the paparazzi. “Every time anyone from the cast emerges from the hotel they’re swarmed by paparazzi,” says the inside source.
And Pattinson is the prime target.
“He’s a prisoner of the paparazzi,” the source tells Gossip Cop. “It’s a nightmare,” adds the source, explaining that Pattinson almost never leaves the hotel except to go to the set. And when he does, the crew has to go great lengths to find ways to transport him from one location to another undetected. Because of the paparazzi, the star has been unable to interact with his many fans.
Gossip Cop hopes the paparazzi will back off so Pattinson and the rest of the cast can concentrate on the film — and their adoring fans.

Is this true ????? I hate to say it but is it getting a little crazy ?? he is an actor after all.....sorry guys I know he deserves privacy and all but pap's come with the job, the longer he avoids them the higher the price goes up per pic......not doing him any favors hiding him...
This is very sad....not only for Rob but for us as fans. Of course we want to see pictures of Rob...it's only natural. What we DON'T want is for him to become a recluse and only appear to be photographed at Public events every now and then. I think part of the problem is the huge number of PAPS that are after him...one or two he should be able to deal with but look at how many were in front of him at LAX a couple of months ago. That was just insane. It's not only the flashing lights going off in his face left right and centre that's so hard to take it's the insults and heckling that I think he finds hard to take. Who wouldn't?
To keep fans happy and himself sane a compromise of sorts should be reached. Perhaps allow a few minutes of pics to be taken that satisfies everybody. I don't know. All I do know is that this drought is really getting to me! LOl
Temptation
I think you're absolutely right...hiding him is not the answer.
Well, I stayed at his hotel in Tuscany while he was shooting in Montepulciano and it was pure madness. I spotted him one night, leaning at his window (pure coincidence - my friend and I were shocked); he was smoking (and smoking - shirtless - hot lol) and looked so lonely, so like in a cage. My friend and I both felt awful and so sad for him. After, we were not even happy we saw him; we felt bad.
YAYYY someone agrees with me....I will give you a good Aussie example, now I know they are totally different but Hugh Jackman at the height of his career still takes time out for the fans and paps. It's a balancing act but what he seems to do is allocate time and then say OK guys Im with my family now, piss off.
Now I know some Rob/Twilight fans can be a little crazy but it's just making everything 100 times worse..
And the new thing where the whole cast are wearing black hoodies i.e. Taylor, Nikki etc. is a joke...
hey Tempt - wearing hoodies is catching... I'm waiting for Rob to take his off...LOL ;-)
Jandi have U been missing us ???? this is a tough one isn't it....I know we all love to see him but then again, I know if I had of seen him on a balcony with no shirt I would have put on the Cat Women suit and headed up that wall.......
Regarding the hoodie I don't think it will be coming off soon....
Yes...why have the rest of the cast taken to wearing black hoodies? Rob is obviously a trendsetter!
Perhaps Hugh can give Rob some advice regarding the PAPS and fame when they get together to film Unbound Captives...he seems like a nice man.
sad...just...sad. and Ted's source his ass?? HAHAHA...that cracked me up...but don't be so mean with him...yes..i know a lot of people hate him but i have been visiting his column for almost 3 years now and he's not that bad...seriously.
Temptation LOL
Aaah, after spotting him at his window we knew exactly his room number (the hotel was not really big) and ooooohhhhh our hormones were tempting us to knock at his door and cheer him up. He looked so sad and we were both so willing to make him smile. But, after being totally nuts in our room we thought we would be 2 respectable, polite women and wish him goodnight.
He checked out early the next morning.
Poor Old Ted, he is not liked on this site at all......
I think that it is interesting that it is not just Rob avoiding the paps, they all seem to be cranky about getting their photo's taken.....All I can say the more your fans desire you the higher salary you can demand......
Yes Tempt - missing you especially!! Now the Hugh and Rob thing - can't wait to see them together. Hugh is a great guy and so warm and affectionate - great Aussie laid back style!! Now if he can pass on some of his experience that can help Rob deal with the craziness I am all for it. I am also all for hot-shoeing it over to NZ and trying to hunt them down...now that doesn't sound like a crazed fan does it? LOL
Gos Sylvie - you have got some goddamn restraint there! Don't think I could have helped myself...
Sylvie - WHAT DID YOU DO ??? or rather DIDN'T DO ...it was perfect timing, you knew the room number too.....OH MY GOD I NEED A DRINK....
You should have been BOLD AND FEARLESS ....Rob you look lonely I brought you a beer....honey what can you loose...
I'm with you Tempt - you could have done the catwoman thing and attack from the balcony - and i would be waiting at the only other escape route - outside his door. Now let's just play this scenario out a little...mmm you and me and Rob alone in his hotel room while he was lonely and sad... we sure could have found a way to cheer him up some ;-))
JANDI - I go first and you can have the ugly bald body guard until I am finished....after all that catwomen suite is damn hard to get on.....
In all seriousness I would have attempted something....but Aussie girls do have big balls don't we....
ORION when did Rob become gay ....hahahhah
oh so, so sososososos sorry GUY...
HI GIRLS! and good bye, I'll see you later. I'm going to a Taperware party, fun...so see you later
Maybe I can find a taperware with Rob's face on it
Oh, room 504 was calling us; you have no idea! It was just 4 floors above ours and there was no (permanent) security in the halls. We thought about bringing him some beer but let's say that the thought of being thrown out of the hotel at midnight (we saw him at that time) sort of stopped us.
Still, when we woke up the following day we thought about leaving some beer with a note in front of his door but he was already gone. When we checked on his floor, the cleaning lady was just finished with his room :(.
So we didn't do anything no but seeing him, alone, shirtless, definitely in his thoughts was already a very very nice experience. Did I mention that when he saw us (it was a full moon night so there was some light)-just imagine two women in their thirties, starting at him like God was right in front of them lol - he threw his cigarette away, closed the window and carefully, very carefully closed the curtain? He probably thought "damn, this is impossible" and on our side we were both totally speechless, numb...:)
OH MY GOD ...the story keeps getting worse...room 504 4 floors above GOD GIRL, how did you do it.......I would have taken the Hotel Eviction over anything.....slept on the street like Hobbo's.......
closed the curtain?? damn! is there no escape? poor thing...still my nerves would have been jangling all over the place - go see Rob - don't go see Rob - aaahhhhh!
good story though ;-) thanks for sharing Sylvie!
I have been quizzing everyone i can on here who has had the chance to see or meet Rob. I need a turn :-(
NOW THE LAST QUESTION ...Did you give him a boob flash...U know the classic Aussie Rock Star Flash...Lifting the TShirt.....
If No ..... Why Not....
Good for you Sylvie for NOT doing anything. His hotel room should be a refuge at the very least. And you'd regret the intrusion afterwards, particularly if all you got was embarrassment or irritation from him.
I've never been a believer in Summit conspiracies, but it is possible they are trying to limit his exposure just before New Moon, so that everyone (except us of course) isn't sick of him before the interviews/mag articles even begin. Over-exposure can equal bad marketing and can come back and bite you on the ass.
Sylvie you are a better person than I unfortunately I don't think I would of been able to refrain from the 'Staking Behaviour' lucky I am in Australia Hey...
so let me get this str8, rob alone on a balcony SHIRTLESS and smoking ...........is that the picture you guys are painting here?? thats a porn movie waiting to happen,no way in hell would i be able to restrain myself from climing his balcony or going to his hotel room,NO WAY ,i want him to have privatecy but my hormones would not allow me to think rationally i would probly get arrested,rob sad i would of cheered him up.
I dunno--for a pretty bright person, there are some things I am not getting. When did the word, or even profession, 'actor' come to be synonymous with 'asking for -or deserving- intrusions into one's life'? or with 'belonging to everyone'? When did being chased, hunted, screamed at, mobbed, even physically accosted, become part of the description of 'actor'? After teaching history for a few years, I was under the impression that slavery was abolished, and that a person could not be owned by others; that a person had a right to his own life and privacy.
Believe it or not, some people go into acting to ACT, not to be STARS, not to be adored, photographed, mobbed, etc. Some going into acting not only NOT seeking high-figure salaries, but actually NOT wanting the world of major film studios.
WE don't DESERVE photos of ROb, or any other actor, just because we are fans. Some of you may WANT them, but you do not DESERVE- do not have them coming to you or owed to you, just because you are a fan, because you want them, because you want him. It could be, because he has signed contracts, that he is obligated to photo sessions and promotion tours, and so those are the photos that, as fans, you have coming to you.
I don't think ROb, or any other actor, has to keep his fans happy by obliging constant photographing, screams, intrusions, and I think he was happy to oblige until it all got too much for him. He is a sensitive soul, has certain fears and concerns (valid, by the way), and so cannot be compared to actors who 'manage' the intrusions better. I do not understand why appreciating his work by watching his movies, why watching his cuteness in interviews, why reading his thoughtful words in real magazines and not ragazines, why viewing photos from photo sessions, are not enough. I do not understand how people can call themselves 'fans' and yet not perceive--or worse, not care-- that he doesn't like or want this stuff! Like I said, I am just not getting it.
Sylvie,
Cheers to you! I would not have had the nerve to go knock on his door, but I probably would of stood outside his window and made an ass out of myself, just out of pure shock!
I read this article last night, if you go to the site, you can see a picture of him surrounded by the sharks and it's pretty bad.
It's not just the photo taking he hides from ladies...he also hides from the INSULTING questions they ask like "ARE YOU & KRISTEN SLEEPING TOGETHER?"
Don't blame him a bit-and it saddens me because it also takes time away from his fans.
rpatzgirl.. love that you point that out about it is not just the pics he is hiding from.. =) The questions I am sure have to be the most ridiculous questions and one of constant same tone for over 2 years.. GIVE IT A REST PEOPLE..
Sylvie - amazing restraint.. I too would have been stagered with should I say something or just walk away but what an amazing memory and one I am sure you can cherish..
P.S. love the "Bars" jail pic =)))
Love the bars too-I wouldn't mind holding him in my own personal jail.
No pappz at my house Robbie!
why dont rob say F*** YOU to the paps and come out and live his life,he is only making the situation worst by hiding,he should come out and go about his business and ignore the stupid paps
I think it's a concern over safety as well because women come up and try to put their arms around him like when he was in NYC during Remember Me. I agree he should be able to go out to dinner or a bar once in a while without being hounded, but not with Kristen cause that just opens up another can of worms.
He can't say Fuck you to the pappz because then everyone will start saying what an asshole he is, and how he's just like Christian Bale-and they'll make up even worse stories about him.
He's really between a rock & hard place so to speak...if he gives in and goes out, there is a safety issue, not only for him, but people around the pappz- the ask horrible questions that no one should have to hear-and then guess what? The next day-they want more.
What is he supposed to do?
They have pinned him in corners in Vancouver-they can cause him to have a car accident-I mean, its beyond crazy-and I'm sorry-no one is followed as much as him, other than maybe Brittany-and look what happened to her...
Sorry, I just get pissed when people start saying shit like suck it up Rob-it's part of the job.
@solas ~ I have to agree with you.
@rpattaz tmo ~ Unfortunately he's tried living his life and the papz don't leave him alone. Look at what happened in NYC. He can't take a stroll with his friend or alone or have dinner with out the fucking papz taking his pic and following him.
I mean no disrespect, but I feel like people on here contradict themselves. On one hand you want him to live his own life but yet you complain that there are no pics of him. But most of the pics that we have seen recently are ALL papz pics. Even those lovely RM pics. Supply and demand. Papz are the lowest scum of the earth. They have no scruples and feel that the celebrity actually owes it to them to cooperate. WTF?!?!?! He is a wanted man by the media and it is unfortunate. It's like he's another Princess Di and (I hate to say it) Brittany Spears, no wonder she went postal!!
Hey rpattzgirl ~ I see we were on the same wave length!!! :)
I can honestly do without pictures of Rob if it means he is able to have a life. I don't want to see these damn paparazzi photos if it's ruining his life.
LindaRose--thank you, thank you, thank you for reiterating the contradictions apparent in posters and supposed fans who supposedly agree that Rob deserves to live his life and have privacy, yet who get all upset about not having new photos or 'news' (pardon me whilst I choke) about himself.
Again--I just don't get it.
Right JMM-- the photos of him from photo shoots and promotions are quite lovely. Is one truly a fan, an admirer, if one cannot recall what the poor lad looks like without having new photos of him daily?
Anyone who actually cares would make do with the provided photos, not demand intrusions into Rob's life, and would not pay for the ragazines that pay the hunters to bring in the photos.
oh NO iam not saying 'SUCK IT UP' iam just saying he should ignore to some degree,i dont want him to end up like princess di GOD NO,i think he will loose his sanity if he dont find a solution and very soon,so he can maintan some normal activities.
and iam not upset because of no new pics,if that were the case i would of said so,iam not upset about anything,i was just saying he should not let the paps dictate his life,to be honest iam in a VERY GOOD mood because i got my rob calender today HOORAY and in two weeks rob will be back in NY with me YIPPE for the music awards,iam going to make sure i see him,will not close enough to meet him but seeing him for just 1 second is all good.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I too would rather not see any "new" photos of Rob if it means that he has some peace and quiet in his life. I would welcome official photos from shoots or photo calls.
@rpattz tmo ~ if only it were that easy for Rob to just ignore them. Enjoy your calendar!! And do you really think he'll be flying into NY for the VMAs? I think it may be either pre-recored or via satellite for the introduction?
@linda.....iam hoping necause my boyfriend he is getting me 4 tickets (if its not sold out) for me,my sisters and and my mom,if he is not going to be physically there no need for me to go.
rpattaz tmo ~ Not sure how to go about finding out if he'll actually be there. It may be under wraps because they want to avoid the media frenzy. Or you can just luck out! Have fun!
@linda.......thank you! :-)
rpattz, it's interesting you brought up Princess Di. I know the driver of that car was drunk and he was ultimately responsible for the accident that killed her and others but they were fleeing the paparazzi and everyone knows that. I would hate to see Rob hounded like she was...
It's interesting how some stars manage to stay out of the tabloids but others like Jennifer Aniston and Rob are constantly in the news. Maybe they can give Rob some tips.
Lucky you that you have a chance to see him in NYC!
@jmm4832 ~ I don't think he has a choice to stay out of the media. He's the hot ticket right now and as you have seen people just make-up shit about him anyway for their rag mags. I'm sure every website and rag mag is paying a pretty penny to those scummy papz for any pic of Rob.
LindaRose,
Yes, we are.
It's a fine line to walk because we do miss seeing him (spoiled from RM) and I'm right up there complaining about how much I miss him..
HOWEVER...not at the expense of his happiness or safety...I'd be happy with some set photos or appearances at scheduled events.
Then, there's the other side of me (the giggly, oozing puddles over his beauty side) that wants to meet him, and just say hi.
This whole thing has prevented him from having fan encounters (which he may be grateful for) but it's sad for us "non crazy stalker" fans.
I'm still going to BC 10/2 in the hopes of spotting him, but already know I probably won't, and that's ok too. I will survive.
**sniff**
rptmo,
I know you didn't say suck it up, it's been said here before by others..
@rpattzgirl ~ if only all the fans were non stalkers like you! Hope you get a glimpse of Rob in BC!!
JMM--When I saw the utube video with Rob driving the Porsche, and many paps chasing him, nightmares of Princess Diana's horrific end freaked out my mind.
I wouldn't say suck it up. That's harsh. But to a certain extent, in these times, though one may not have asked to have pappz follow them or even imagined it would have happened when they decided to become an actor...it's kind of a stretch to say that Rob didn't know it was somewhere within the realm of possibility.
Is it fair? No. But Rob went into acting at a time when the pappz ARE this vicious. So there was the expectation that something like this could happen to him. He is shy and it such a shame, but I'm not up in arms screaming "Poor Rob." And I love him just as much as the rest of you. With certain actors and increasing fame - comes people wanting to know more and more about you. No, not with everybody...but with some people it does happen.
He doesn't deserve it, but it's a fact of his life. A fact that he didn't ask for, but that he must have known might come as part of the bargain.
Besides, I don't know if I believe gossipcop! I mean, none of us had heard about the site at all three weeks ago and now all of a sudden they are the arbiter of all Rob/Twilight news? I don't buy it. And Rob just said in the French Premiere that he made himself come to terms with his situation. He said himself that if he quit acting tomorrow none of the hype would go away so he just quit whining about it. Now all of a sudden he's holed up in his hotel room afraid to go out?
I'm sure he also realizes that staying in his hotel room ad infinitum isn't going to change anything either and conversely, is going to make the pappz more desperate to get that picture of him.
I also vehemently disagree that WE are causing this by looking at the pictures. I'm sure it IS some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, but the papz are taking pictures because they know he has a HELL OF A LOT OF FANS. Then we look at the pics, because we ARE his fans. I don't think it's as simple as don't look at the pictures (though not buying the magazines does help and is a no-brainer) I think if Rob wanted to stop being followed by the papz and we wanted to contribute to him not being followed by the pappz we'd have to stop being FANS. Does anyone think that's going to happen anytime soon? Anyone , Bueller?
It's so easy to just post "Oh. It's us! It's us!" And yes, they're taking pictures because we're looking at them, but they're also taking pictures because we're INTERESTED in him!
Unless we stop being INTERESTED, the pappz won't stop.
Period.
@jmm......as much as i loved rob driving that porche becaused he looked DAMN HOT, deep down i was terrified for his safety,the princess diana episode is always there when paps are involved. @rpattz girl....good luck with your trip to BC i hope you get to meet or see him.
Shalf1, I get your point. The tabloids take these pictures because they know we want them, and they want to make as much money as possible and they know Rob sells. For some of us it's impossible not to be interested in seeing Rob's pictures, lol. We don't have to buy the tabloids, but these pictures of him are so damn irresistable, especially when they're plastered all over the net.
No Temptation, no boob flash lol; to be honest my brain totally froze when I saw him lol and the second he looked down and saw us ...he was back inside. Still I have this image well printed in my memory and the thing which stroke me the most was how sad, lonely he looked. My friend and I felt like we witnessed "private Rob" and even though maybe we shouldn't have, the fact it was pure coincidence made us feel less "guilty". We had our camera but none of us thought it was appropriate to take a picture.
We were very tempted to go see him but I guess we both went against our hormones and listen to our compassion. Also, when fans waiting outside were asking us "is this Rob's hotel?", we were either telling them "no, it isn't" or "you're waiting for nothing; he doesn't use the main entrance to get in/out" (which was true; he was using the parking entrance). I felt quite protective of him :)
The French interview was before the disasters in NY during the RM filming, when ROb was physically accosted (jumped on and 'hugged'- read 'strangled'); chased into a street of traffic and hit by a cab (one of his life-long fears)albeit, thank G-d, the harm only enough to shock him; and had his work, (which he is trying to do, because he likes ACTING, not being a star; to develop his craft and repertoire, on a script he liked by a write he admires)and the production, compromised daily. I am not sure he would now say he has come to terms with the situation, as 'the situation' has morphed into a monstrosity.
From what I hear Rob say and from what I read of his words, in interviews, he did not think this was at all in the realm of possibilities. He thought Twilight would be a nice little film; he did not anticipate exposure from it, certainly not anything like the Harry Potter movies. He had experienced the hype of GoF, and it faded; his friends in the HP movies are part of a worldwide famous franchise and never had this sort of mania, and ROb does not see himself as anything special that it would be different for himself, or so extraordinary that he could possibly imagine what has developed.
On top of the interest in himself, because he is, unbelievably to himself, so beautiful and adorable and appealing, are the very serious phenomena attached to the Twilight series, of which he also had no inkling. He now has not only fans who clamour to see him, but he has fans who phantasize about 'being with' him, who see any woman with whom he spends his time a threat to their delusions of 'being with' him, and so they want to know with whom he is, and where; and then you have the ones so enamored of the books and so disturbed that they enmesh reality and phantasy and see Rob as Edward, Kristen as Bella, and so want to know that they are together, to live out the books, etc. And all of these fans PAY to have this poor lad stalked.
No, Shalf, the 'paps' are not taking photos and shouting crude questions and comments because we are interested; they are taking the pictures because people BUY them, and because they are PAID for them. Interest does not equal paying for something. They are not taking pictures for fans out of the goodness of their hearts (forgive me whilst I choke), or because people are interested in Rob.
Unfortunately I think it mostly boils down to money. They know that Rob and Twilight is a cash cow and everyone is trying to capitalize on his fame and fortune. It doesn't help the situation that Rob is very, very handsome and sexy, the best I've seen since JFK, Jr. was alive and I don't even think he was as appealing.
