Robert Pattinson Celeb Sighting! (AKA The Saddest Celeb Sighting Story Ever Told)
In September of 2008, I was still resistant to the Twilight phenomenon. It was idiotic, I know, but the movie hadn't come out yet and the books seemed a little too young for me (again...no need to say it, I KNOW). Considering what percentage of my day and job — PopSugar.com — is taken up by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and all the rest of the cast now, it feels so silly. And thus begins the story of my biggest professional, nay...life, regret. My colleague and friend Becky and I were set to attend the 2008 MTV VMAs in LA. We were so excited for our first big red carpet together and got all gussied up for the event. During the red carpet the celebrities' publicists would come over to offer interviews for their clients "Would you like Kid Rock? Would you like Chris Brown?" Then, one came over and said, "Hey, would you ladies like to chat with Robert Pattinson? He's from the upcoming Twilight movie?"
I answered, "Is Kristen Stewart available?" since at that point, she was more famous to me (Panic Room being a classic, in my eyes, plus she had worked with Adam Brody...). The publicist said no, we gave a tepid "Sure, we could maybe talk to Robert..."
Right as Robert was making his way down the red carpet, closer and closer to us who did we see but Brody Jenner! Believe me, this hurts me to even talk about, but we let Robert walk right by. We were trying to talk to Brody. As you can see from this photo — we were SOCLOSE. Sigh, how much would I love to have that moment back? Since then, Robert has obviously blown up into one of the biggest stars in the world. There will be chances to talk to Rob on red carpets to come, but nothing like catching him right before the storm, right before everything changed in his quiet life. My celebrity sighting of Robert Pattinson is a sad, sad tale.
Lesson learned: Believe the hype and never question millions of teens. They're usually right.
Epilogue: At the InTouch Icons and Idols afterparty that night at the Chateau Marmont, Robert was alone smoking in the corner all night. Not even talking to anyone. I was busy making small talk with one of the kids from Greek. FML

Hilarious account from PopSugar and thankfully they have learned the error of their ways. Everyone makes mistakes. Thanks for the laughs.

I don't even know who Adam Brody is.
Oh man, and he looked so cute that night too. I would be facepalming myself too. Repeatedly until I passed out LOL.
What is facepalming? Slapping one's self? or holding one's face in one's palm, shaking one's head slowly, saying 'oyvavoy?'
They make it sound like now they only regret it because he's a huge star, rather than they now know him and like who he is. *rolls eyes*
that is hilarious, they had their chance and they blew it.
i think adam brody is the kid from the OC, not for sure though.
This is hysterical!!
Yep lesson learned! Now they're all over him..
Ugh, heartbreak!
I get it though..I did the same thing. When he lived in Portland for 5 months, I had tons of opportunities to see him...he was walking all over downtown Portland, and filming 20 min away..back then, you could just stand right outside the set and watch them...but I had no idea who he was, hadn't discovered him yet...
What a FOOL! I still shed a tear...
Brody effin Jenner OVER Robert Pattinson??? Yes, you should feel like a dip. Sorry but there is NO comparison. The fact you chose a guy who prefers shallow Playboy bunnies and is a complete retard on his own reality show is appalling. I'm glad he didn't waste his time.
heather - oh, it's brody jenner not adam brody, where the hell did i see adam brody??? oh well, that's even worse, i dont feel bad from them that is even more hilarious :))
forget crying over the whole "missed opportunity" crap...how sad is it that Rob was standing in a corner by himself all night! at a party! poor baby...now THAT makes me shed a tear..:(
They mentioned Adam Brody was in the Panic Room. It's ok too many Brody's in one article. ;)
Yes Pammi I don't like hearing he was smoking alone in a corner either. No one puts ROB in the Corner! LOL
heather - you almost made me spit my tea out "no one put Rob in the corner" LOL
he probably enjoyed being by himself and probably couldn't wait to leave.
Hey, nobody is perfect.We all make mistakes. Lesson learned.LOL But Brody Jenner? Well,he was and is on The Hills and at the time he was the bigger name.
Poor bb, left alone smoking in the corner.So sad. Nobody leaves our Robbie in corner. LOL That shows you right there that you can't depend on people.Where the hell was the rest of the cast at?? I guess they went home and just left him there. *shakes head*
I can understand making the mistake due to popularity.
However, I can not understand looking at Rob and choosing instead to talk to Brody Jenner. Did they leave their glasses at home?
If I had been at that party, He would not have been alone, long!!
Now he cant even go to a party without being molested...those days are over for Rob...
Sorry--my fault-- I don't know who either Brody is, thought they were talking about one guy!
Oh my word, this is worse than a Greek tragedy. The cringefactor kept getting worse and worse. Brody who??
And then the missed opportunity of Rob sitting ALONE at the party. Oh dear god, girl, I truly feel for you.
You get him next time!!
P.S. How stu stu stu stunning is he in that photo? I agree, it's nice to think of meeting him at a time when he was still a novelty and 'unaffected' by all the craziness. By 'unaffected' I don't mean that he's less of a nice person, I just mean being able to get within a 1-mile radius of him without a military-caliber GPS system and invisible man suit.
Me thinks he may wish for those days sometimes as well.
LOL, well at least they admit the error of their ways! EPIC FAIL!!!
I love how you can see TomStu right over Brody Jenner's shoulder....
BRODY JENNER? She let RP go by for BRODY JENNER, douche of the decade? Omg, that's so fracking embarrassing....I actually feel horrible for her!
And yet another account of him smoking in a corner at an big event afterparty like a big loner--that's so funny and endearing, I wonder if he's thinking things like "I'd rather be a loner than talking to that douche brody jenner over there"....lol
Oh mamma... look at him, there in the back. He's not even posing for this picture and he looks S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G! I would have wanted to talk with him just for that!
Epic fail indeed!
Adam Brody, Brody Jenner... I know neither!
oh, this is just sad! and funny, but mostly, sad. ;)
I think RPG's story is sad too!! I'm sure you could have talked to him for a while, that was before the loopy chicks chased him and scared him off! :( I hope you get the chance again soon! {BD set}
Adam Brody was that kid from the OC that KS worked with on "In the Land of Women" and he made out with both KS ANd her mother Meg Ryan.lol He's a good actor and a cutie.
BUT BRODY JENNER is a celebuspawn and failed reality "star." He's Bruce Jenner's kid, is basically the male equivalent of Paris Hilton in terms of the social scene in LA, and is just an all-around douche head. Ew...seriously, that is so embarrassing what she did.
I have a feeling Robert is a tad introverted, but I can't help but wonder if he knows those afterparties are just filled with idiots. hah Robedrt is a hipster dude, I think in a room full of musicians, he'd be more sociable. But stuck in a room with reality stars and basic cable show actors? Meh, I don't see him extending himself that much.
He did the same thing at one of the Oscar parties where he was seen being anti-social, but then Jared Leto mentioned later on he ended up talking to RP for a long time about music. I thought that was funny he ended up talking for a good while to a guy who favors his band over his acting career.
I'm too in the "If only I knew him then..." He was in Barcelona, filming Little Ashes, and I could have gone to see him, but I dindn't know he existed!! Damn! I will never have that oportunity again.
In my experience, the guy in the corner is usually the one who's worth talking to at these kind of events. Well, no little Jack Horner for him now...
I liked Adam Brody with Kristen in their flick "In the Land of Women." Thought they both did a good job.
Me too. I could have gone to see him at Today show near my office but I was not dazzled yet. lol
Brody Jenner! Pfffttt!! Lesson Learned! Regardless if Rob was "popular" then or not, I still wouldn't choose Brody Jenner over Rob. I agree with whoever wrote that Brody is a male Paris Hilton!
Missed opportunity too at the afterparty. Oh how I would have loved to been able to go up to Rob then and just chit-chat and hang with him before his life turned up-side-down. And maybe get a little something-something! *wink*
My only regret is not "discovering" Rob until March this year...think of all the extra months I could have been Robsessing - but then I'm sure I would never have completed my masters degree in February with such a distraction!
This was when he talked of his chest hair being early pubes and all the young girls sreaming because they were scard of them.
LOl! I laughed so hard I cried at the interview.
Man did they miss a gem of an opportunity.
Hi girls!!
Gotta agree here - anyone with eyes and a pulse who saw Rob that night - divine sex hair and all - how could they not want a piece of that!!??
Smokin in the corner alone.... :-(
Probably the last time he had that kind of anonymity at that type of event too. Didn't things just start to explode after that?
Time for a new sexy Rob pic!! This one inspires extraordinary ff - which by the way I need more of! Pull finger Tempt! ;-))
Thanks for the clarification, Karina. I haven't watched much TV in my life; all of these star or language references from TV are beyond me.
And yes, A, the ones by themselves are USUALLY the ones worth meeting. Although, sometimes they are serial killers.
Hey Rosa, where did you read that about Jared Leto?, sounds interesting!! never knew that.
One of the sites I frequented(pre-robsessed for me lolo) had a youtube video of Jared Leto talking with his band in an interview. And it came about randomly-they had fans email questions and the girls monkier was like rpattzfan. And the interviewer laughed at the moniker but Jared leto was like actually I met him at the blah blah afterparty Oscar night. And he went on to say how cool he was and talking about music and stuff. And it happened to be the same afterparty where there are shots of what? Rob sitting in a corner with his head in his hands sitting by his publicist(?) the blonde lady looking bored out of his gourd. lol
But yeah, Jared Leto, who is normally humorless and annoying to me, was totally going off on how cool he was and about music when the interviewer initially laughed him off.
I would literally NEVER be able to get over that! So sad to know you were SO close! Boo hoo!
i'm Robsessed forever, but sorry guys, shame on you everyone who doesn't know who Adam Brody is! he is a great actor. "Pianist" of Roman Polansky where he played the leading role got no one Oscar. (sorry for my bad English)
I thought it was ADRIEN Brody in the Pianist; THAT Brody I DID know! It was of the other 2 I had never heard mention.
ROTFL always be careful with "shamingon" others ;-) That was Adrien Brody, Solas :-)And I would know, I have a thing for man with weird noses ;-)Adam Brody got known for the roll of Seth Cohen in O.C. California here. Maybe you heard of that :-)
So sad! I had no idea what twilight was back in sept 08 (I know, shame on me LOL) but I wouldn't have missed a guy as stunning as Rob! I'd have loved to keep him company in a dark secluded corner ;)
Hindsight is 20/20..
I feel like giving her a {{hug}} after reading this ~ And regarding the epilogue - Still water runs deep. I wouldn't have been able to resist it.
Yeah, I knew who KStew was before Twilight because 1. She was in Panic Room, in which she was great and 2. She was in "In the land of women" in which she was TERRIBLE!
I have no idea who Brody Jenner is, but if he's the guy in the picture, he looks like a douch.
Keely-- I never heard of the other Brodys mentioned in this board; only Adrien Brody. I have never seen OC. I did see mention of the show but not the characters or actors/stars (to me there is a difference; I think many, if not most, stars cannot really act. This is one of the reasons I am so impressed with Rob; HE is an ACTOR; he can act.).
I haven't seen Kristen's other movies yet but I have Adventureland on my list to see, and am looking for Jumper, for which she was considered famous enough to have the film mentioned on the Hebrew New Moon Movie poster (which was posted here a couple of weeks ago, and which I would REALLY like to obtain).
OH jesus-if I did that I would have thrown myself off a cliff. hopefully you get a second chance girlfriend. I mean-look at him in this pic!! FKN HOOOOT!!
AHh-- I just googled 'facepalming' since no one explained it here! It's just slapping one's forehead with the palm? WHy didncha just say so? oyvavyoy!
That has got to be one of the saddest stories ever..
