Robert Pattinson needs to send Daniel Radcliffe a bouquet of flowers
From MTV:
Daniel Radcliffe has found Robert Pattinson's rise to fame instructive. "I have no concept of what "Potter" looks like to the rest of the world, because I'm so involved in it," Radcliffe once told us. "So to watch "Twilight" kind of explode globally had been fascinating."
Radcliffe also finds RPattz — his onetime "Potter" co-star — an appropriate target for some good-natured mockery. Earlier this month, the 21-year-old actor voiced a vampire character on "The Simpsons," a pasty-faced heartthrob named Edmund directly inspired by Pattinson's Twi-hunk Edward. Radcliffe hasn't yet heard from his pal about the episode, but he's pretty sure Rob didn't mind the parody.
"You cannot be in a film as big as either "Potter" or "Twilight" and not have a pretty good sense of humor about yourself," Radcliffe told us.
In the Halloween-themed episode, young Lisa Simpson falls for Radcliffe's character after he saves her from an out-of-control school bus, a direct reference to the way in which Edward and Bella connect in "Twilight." "I love your pallor," Lisa coos.
Radcliffe himself has found himself a "Simpsons" target in the past, with references ranging from a Homer Simpson pet pig named Harry Plopper to a religious-minded character noting Potter and his wizard pals are going to hell. "South Park," too, has zinged "Potter": During a send-up of "The Lord of the Rings," one character mocks a group of kids for dressing up like the Hogwarts crew. Radcliffe thinks it's all hilarious, and he's sure RPattz does too.
"I find it all so cool and funny and flattering," he said. "I'm sure Rob's got a sense of humor about [it].
"I'm sure I'll be getting a bouquet of flowers," he added.

Daniel Radcliffe: Robert Pattinson is Handling Fame Well
From BBC News:
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says Twilight actor Robert Pattinson appears to be dealing well with the pressures of fame.
"I wouldn't have any advice," Radcliffe told the BBC. "He seems to be coping well," added the actor.
Since appearing as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight film series, Pattinson has become a huge star.
The 23-year-old appeared alongside Radcliffe in the fourth Harry Potter film, 2005's Goblet of Fire.
Mobbed
He played Quidditch captain Cedric Diggory, who competes alongside Harry in the Triwizard tournament at Hogwarts school.
"I haven't spoken to Robert since we saw each other at the opening of a gallery three years ago," said Radcliffe. "We've been sort of exchanging advice through journalists, bizarrely."
Over the past two weeks, Pattinson has been mobbed by thousands of screaming fans at launch events around the world for the new Twilight film, New Moon.
Speaking about fame, Radcliffe said: "It is totally mad, when people are screaming and going absolutely insane for you.
"Particularly with Robert - the amount of women that would jump on him - you have to keep it in some kind of perspective, by thinking 'well, partly they like me and partly they are just attracted to the character'.
"As long as you don't think 'oh yeah, God they're all doing this - I must be absolutely fantastic'. As long as you do that, you should be all right."
'Quite strange'
Radcliffe's Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, said Pattinson had "done amazingly" after appearing in Goblet of Fire.
But Grint admitted he had never been comfortable with getting recognised in the street.
"It's never been normal. I'm slowly getting used to it, but it's quite strange," he told the BBC at a launch event for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD, out in December.
The world of Twilight is populated by fans called "Twi-Hards", or by Pattinson fans who refer to themselves as "Robsessed".(Gozde: woot woot :))
Pattinson described earlier this month how he prepares himself to face thousands of screaming fans: "I always find myself wearing a lot of layers as well so they can't see you hyperventilating."
The actor has recently finished shooting the third film in the vampire series, Eclipse. A fourth film based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel, Breaking Dawn, is also planned.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe and Grint are currently filming the two-part finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, out in 2010-11.
