From Examiner.com
You've gotta hand it to Robert Pattinson for being a charitable guy. It has just been announced that Pattinson ("Edward Cullen" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and "Tyler" in Remember Me) is pitching in for a local Hawaiian Montessori school fundraising drive by donating autographed posters and a Twilight book for the Montessori Hale O Keiki’s annual fundraising gala, "The Orchid Ball."
Pattinson's signed gear will go up for auction at "The Orchid Ball" on February 5th, and it appears that proceeds will go to benefit the local Montessori school program.
Nice guy, huh?
You might remember some of Pattinson's other charitable contributions of late. Last spring, Pattinson auctioned off a smooch for AMFAR (while promoting Remember Me at Cannes), and only recently, Pattinson presented for George Clooney's famed "Hope for Haiti" telethon (in London, England) with the following speech:
"Underneath a flattened university, Maxine Fallon waited. She was crouched in a fetal position and could barely move. In the darkness and during the hectic sounds of the day, through the pain, the hunger and thirst, she prayed that someone would find her. And on the sixth day her prayers were answered, she was found because of a text message from the rubble sent rescuers to her side. Unlike any other event in history, our world has been connected to this tragedy because of technology. Twitter updates, Facebook pages with pictures of the missing and text messages for help. This technology is working right now to connect us, too. At hopeforhaitinow.org, you can donate and you can instantly interact with people in Haiti and anywhere in the globe. Join with those watching and see what they're saying about something we all care deeply about — helping the Haitian people get back on their feet. Please go to hopeforhaitinow.org. Thank you. "
It seems that many of the Twilight cast members have grown a very charitable bone, and even little things like this make a huge difference. The more the merrier, right?
Props to Pattinson for pitching in.
Hawaii is my home state. Could I love him any more???
ReplyDeleteThinking how much money would be raised if Rob cleaned out his closet. (Everyone here would be bidding nonstop! So true.) LOL. ; )
ReplyDeleteHugs to Sweet Rob!
Seriously-FILTM!!
ReplyDeleteFor more than just his beautiful face. :)
Rob does it again. He is just the most kind hearted person. I'll bet he'd love to see Hawaii too. I've been there and asked to be pinched every day to realize I was really there.
ReplyDeleteSaw Oahu and Hilo only. Missed the other islands.
Aloha and Mahalo to you, Puddle
That's my boy, big heart and kind soul.
ReplyDeleteOT here but did you girls realize that Pierce Brosnan's birthday is just 3 days away from Rob's.
ReplyDeleteThey're both Taurus. So guess Rob may follow in his footsteps. That would be fantastic... Can I live thru this? Yes, oh yes....
Can't wait for Remember Me.... Must see it and buy it. Okay, calming down here. Phew....
Just remember the stills shown recently, oooooops. Got excited all over again.
What a sweetie!!!
ReplyDeleteSee this??? This is why I don't know him, but respect him so much!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I bid?
ReplyDeleteThe AMFAR kiss went for like $10,000 I think, with crazy Sharon Stone in charge of getting bids. Would love to know what Rob thought of her. Some studio executives daughter go the kiss. Lucky little girl.
Way to give back, Rob, we love you!
What a gift to us all....
ReplyDeletenow if he could just throw me a charity kiss, ahem, I would be complete!
Always good to see good deeds, but I especially love to see them attached to Rob.
ReplyDeletei'm very excited he helps out a Montessori school! i've studied about Maria Montessori and her pedagogy!! jajaja i made an essay about Montessori schools...i never thought i would read and speak about it in a blog!! i was wrong...
ReplyDeletePS: if you are thinking that i'm a weirdo who comments about Maria Montessori instead of ROb, yes i am!
CAN I JUST SAY THAT I LOOOOOOOVVVEE HIM SO MUCH MORE NOW?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeletei am a native hawaiian who lives in hawaii so i am thankful... very much so.
this man is AMAZING! Aloha wau iā 'oe! (i love you!)
Rob is so sweet and concerned about people.
ReplyDeleteLove Rob, always.
This is our boy... So adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi, puddle! Grizzly/Rob took you out of your cave, uh? Hawaii, really? WOW, this is cool!
LTavares (aka JC), I got your email. You made me laugh! Thanks. I'll write back to you and Ana soon.

ReplyDeleteCherri
ReplyDeleteFuck, I Love This Man (FILTM)

EstGarZo - Thank you, I've been trying to figure that one out for the longest time. I finely gave up.

ReplyDelete*waves hello to all*
ReplyDeleteFF updates!!! Yes, so excited.
Angie - check your e-mail
Cheri & Noe, I was new to this not too long ago, and I was afraid to ask as well. Everyone is really kind and giving, so never be afraid to ask. :)
Waving "hi" back to all! ; ) MotU update rocked! Most def!
ReplyDeleteChecking out Waterfalls right now.
Gwen, I so agree with you about MotU. I'm off the read Darkness.
ReplyDeletegwen - completely agree with you...rob, clean out your closet for charity and let the bidding war begin :)
ReplyDeleteOT- the other thread was really serious about the whole details things, but my opinion...so what if he wants to do racey photos, he is a 23yr old man, who wouldn't. and i would to see any or all of them. too bad he won't be getting a lap dance, he deserves it, preferably from me :) but the death threats that is seriously freaking out there, whoever would even go to that level to think of that, needs some serious help and needs to step away from the computer. and crazy shit like that is going to put rob into hiding.
oh and FF updates. MOU is soooo good.
ReplyDeleteanyone reading Caravaggio, i officially hate edward in this one, it really broke my heart :(
Hey everybody ! Woo Hoo!! CL & I have our tickets for NY!! Who's coming with us???
ReplyDeleteLook out Robert Thomas Pattinson!! We're coming for You!!
Operation Robstock is good to go!
FILTM!
@Gwen & Ana - Just finished MOTU update. What the hell??? Why did the chapter end like that? I need more, damn it. MOTU rocks my world.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @Angie -
ReplyDeleteWatch out New York and Robert Thomas Pattinson, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi crazy vamp!
ReplyDeleteYes, momentarily peeking my nose out of my cave. I didn't have time earlier to comment on some of the juicy items (details on Details, etc.), but thought it was so very sweet of Rob to donate a few items for a little Montessori school fundraiser in Hawaii.
Alas, I'm far away in the freezing cold now, and am missing it dearly. Have to get back to visit the folks regularly...:)
Take care, hon!
And thanks for the love, @Nancy! :)
@Angie, so jealous. Have fun,take a lot of pics and videos ;)hope Rob survive operation Robstock. Say hi and a kiss from me.
ReplyDeletemy head is spinning, need to go to sleep. have fun every one and good night.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to be alone with ROB ;)
angie & cl - i am lost what do you have tickets for ???
ReplyDeleteGood night, Annie...
ReplyDeleteI'm being sucked into MotU, but so far I'm liking it!
Sweet Rob dreams!
We're going to be at the red carpet for REMEMBER ME!!!
ReplyDeleteOperation Robstock!!
Ana, I am reading Caravaggio. I was so upset. I can not believe that happened. I was so angry, I'm affraid of what I may have said in my review. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a lovely young man! It's all I can say :)!
ReplyDeleteangie - how did you get tickets for the red carpet???
ReplyDeleteadm - no shit...i left a message too :) but i dont want a HEA on this one. you just cant get over that.
We both have our plane tickets to go to NY. We don't have tickets to the actual premiere (I wish!), but are planning on being there at the red carpet amongst the screamers the night of the premiere.
ReplyDeleteWe can't promise we won't scream, but will try to remain upright and not pass out.
ReplyDeleteAng-left you a vm....off to a condo board meeting. Chat later.
Ana, I hope she does not trivialize it.
ReplyDeleteHe is her first love and sex. How does an eighteen year old girl get over something like that. Geez!!!
angie - that is so cool. my husband has been wanting to go to NY and i tried to tell him to lets go in march but he said why so sudden, he said is it because of rob and i just smiled and he rolled his eyes, so that didn't go over too well. you have to take tons of pics, i am excited for you and i am jealous too. r u gonna try to get tickets for any of the talk shows that he is going to be at?
ReplyDeleteadm - i agree with that too. like in RL you cant get over something like that. it's one thing to know that someone WAS a player but it's a whole other thing to actually SEE it. it really broke my heart. that's why i think there cant be a HEA. she already stuck a dagger in bella's heart, she just end the story now LOL ok, now i am being overly dramatic :)
ReplyDeleteCL - ok, sorry I missed your call. I thought I heard my cell (I'm upstairs) but I wasn't sure. I'll go check it now.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Can't promise on the screaming ;)
Ana - wish we could take everyone with us! I'm sure there will be TONS of pictures.
This is going to be so much fun!
Holy shit on the FF!
ReplyDeleteMoTU-omfg, He admitted it!
Carravagio-fucking fucker
always & never-yippee!!!
Darkess-love it!
Haven't read waterfalls update yet...
OK ADM - what did you do to me? I am still reading Caravaggio and I don't want to hate Edward but you guys are pretty passionate so I'll wait and see.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the darkness is that on ff?
By the way is it wrong that in the pic on the last thread I LOVED the farmers tan on his arm?
MOTU update killed and I am so ready for more.
Wish I could go to Robstock but doesn't look like that's happening. I really hope you girls get some awesome pics and some close up ROB...............it's probably best I don't go. I would probably faint or wet myself one or the other. Not sure.
ReplyDeleteAna - Jimmy Fallon tickets were snatched up before either of us could get through and I've requested tickets for the view, but haven't heard back yet
ReplyDeleteangie & cl,
ReplyDeletedo us proud bb's!!!!
Please whisper in his ear for me!!!
Teri, ask and ye shall recieve.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fanfiction.net/s/5562051/1/Darkness
I love this Edward!!!
Ana73,
ReplyDeleteyea, I left the other thread for "other" reasons... It smelled skanky.....
Teri, let us know when you finish chapter 13 of Caravaggio.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably cream, wet myself and faint...
ReplyDeleteOMG! that should be scream! LOL! freudian slip?!?
ReplyDeleteADM,
ReplyDeletei just want to cut it off in carravagio...
There's no talking your way out of that!
Angie, hold it together, we are counting on you to represent us. Don't scare the boy off!!!
ReplyDeleteRPG, just thinking about it makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteangie - are you guys going to wait out side the abc/nbc studios too? this sounds like so much fun, but i would probably cream in my pants and scream :)
ReplyDeleterpg - no kidding on caravaggio, it pist me off so bad.
regarding the other thread, i didn't even comment there it went in a whole different direction.
what is darkness - vamps or humans
whoever rec'd how to save a life, loving it thanks :)
Ana, Darkness is humans.
ReplyDeleteoh, i forgot... i FINALLY saw little ashes last night. not just because i am a rob fan but he was really really good in it. i was really impressed with him. the story was actually very sad and the music was beautiful. i had only seen the little teasers before but it was totally different than what i had expected.
ReplyDeleteif Rob cleaned out his closet for charity... the Stoli shirt is mine!!!
ReplyDeleteAna73,
ReplyDeleteyay! I'm so glad you got to see LA!!!
Yay! for watching Little Ashes. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIf Rob cleaned out his closet for charity, I'd have to put my kids back in public school!
We're going to hang outside whatever place he's in. Hopefully there will be more tips the closer we get to the date.
I will try to represent with dignity, but I will still probably cream ;)
something to keep you ladies warm :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmPrx-swS5M
ADM I am only on Chapter 7
ReplyDeleteTeri, that is okay. I promise once you read chap. 13, you will want to vent.
ReplyDeletejust finished Always & Never update, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteangie - if i wasn't married, i would seriously go, i would charge the whole trip and go, it's a once and a life time thing to do. are you & CL friends outside of the robsession?
I'm married and I'm going!!! I have very understanding husband.
ReplyDeleteCL & I met here on Robsessed and now we are off on this crazy Robstock adventure!
Angie and Ana73 - Hello!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait. This is going to be insane. We need all the good vibes we can get.
Ana - wish you could come. Rob has a long career ahead of him, there will be many more premiere to go to.
@RPG - I gasped at the end of MOTU. He actually said it, OUT LOUD!
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have to wait until next week for an update?
angie -that is so cool that you guys met here and are going together :)
ReplyDeleteyou DO have a great husband. my husband is great but not that great LOL.
i hope to go to see him someday, only in my dreams for now :)
CL - Hello! got your message. How was the condo meeting? Too many complaints about all the Rob-inspired moaning coming from your condo? ;)
ReplyDeleteI started MotU tonight. What have I done to myself?
Ana - I think there will be many more opportunities to see him in the years ahead...keep working on the hubby, maybe he'll let you go eventually
angie - you are gonna get hooked on MOTU, is soooo good.
ReplyDelete@Angie - *blushing* God, I would die.
ReplyDeleteMotU will own you. You've got 67 chapters of good stuff. I love it.
Am reading Breaking Trinity right now.
CL - that would be the ultimate in embarassment!
ReplyDeleteand I have fallen into the world of ff!!! and the list begins...
gotta get some sleep
G'night!
Ok, ff question---was discussing this issue with Marna recently---how do you feel about giving feedback/reviews for every chapter?
ReplyDeleteActually, not a trick question, it's just that some authors seem to troll a bit harder for reviews than others and Gwen wonders how other readers feel. Do you guys offer a review for every chapter? Call Gwen curious.
(And she's had a glass of wine, so...)
Follow up ff question (sorry!), but does anyone actually vent their frustration with a particular story/plot/character? (In the olden days, this would have been called "flaming" someone.)
ReplyDeleteThere's been a few ff recently that Gwen would have liked to offer an honest opinion, but simply walked away from the story instead.
What have some of you done in this situation?
Good night Angie!
ReplyDeleteGood night all.
Gwen, I've been curious about reviews as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started reading ff I did not review. As I got more comfortable I started to review. I don't review every author I read. If they have a very high number I usually don't. If I really like the story and the author has a small number of reviews I review every chapter.
Reviewing updates does not bother me. Reviewing every chapter when I am just starting a story that is way ahead of me does. It ruins the momentum.
I realize that they are putting a lot of time and effort into their stories. However, sometimes finding anything to say about each chapter is difficult.
Gwen, I also walk away.
ReplyDeleteIf others enjoy the story, who am I to complain. I have read some that I like and others don't.
ADM, Thank YOU! Was thinking it was just me, not wanting to offer a review every frigging chapter! Yes, I do realize that it takes a great deal of time to write (Hello, you should see my PILE of works-in-progress, for other universes---number one reason why I do not post incomplete stories).
ReplyDeleteMost recent discussion with an ff author of a story I was reading gave me the enlightenment that some authors write for "sport" versus as a means to telling a story. Sort of a weekly "gig". But, the insane amount of per chapter pleas for feedback was becoming an interruption to the story and quite frankly, ridiculous.
Ok, thanks for letting Gwen vent that. She feels much better! ; )
OT
ReplyDeleteFinally got to see HA. It was really good. Rob did an excellent job of course. (didn't really expect anything less)
Surprised at the ending.
This charitable stuff makes him (if even possible) even better!!! How can there be such a perfect creature? What is the purpose? God, give me a sign.... !!
ReplyDeleteWow! The Hawaii sure is lucky to have this heartthrob help them. I am jealous. :)
ReplyDelete
