Robert Pattinson Attended A Hollywood Hills Fundraiser Hosted by LA Models Runway (July 26)

You may remember a few days ago we had this post and the pic of Rob below with Greg Collard.
We didn't have very many details about the pic but now we do!

It was a fundraiser event hosted by LA Models Runway on July 26th. Check out more details below.

Last Friday, the LA Models Runway division (my awesome team!) hosted a 'surprise' Fundraiser event for a dear friend and client that is close to the heart of many. Our special guest, Greg Collard, faced a severe life threatening infection late last year that required devastating measures to be taken in attempt to save his life. His strong spirit, courage and determination have led him down the road to recovery, and inspired those closest to him to come together in a show of support.... 

Graciously held at the infamous 'party mansion' on Electra Court (home of our lovely friend and model/actress Erin Guzoski-Alanian) this candlelit soiree was definitely a night to remember.....close friends, laughter, incredible city views, fashion, specialty cocktails, delicious hors d'oeuvres, live music ~pianist/singer followed by ambient DJ sets, photo booth opps for fun and a cupcake bar!! 

AND, to top the night off, we welcomed an unexpected guest....Twilight star Rob Pattinson! (who's presence/photograph put our party on all of the Hollywood gossip sites -- strange how quick word travels over such things as "Rob Pattinson Parties with Models in Hollywood").
None the less...
Thanks RPatz for bringing press to LA Models Runway and Greg Collard himself :)

David Cronenberg Talks About Directing Robert Pattinson In "Cosmopolis"- "I'll Be There. I'll Be With You Every Moment"

Great interview with David Cronenberg from About.com where he talks about casting the right person (i.e. Robert Pattinson) for the role of Eric Packer (and be prepared for your heart to swell when you read this!)
Seriously I didn't think it was possible to love David anymore than I already do!



As Eric, Pattinson is in every scene of the film, portraying a character unlike any he's tackled before. And in our exclusive interview in support of Cosmopolis' theatrical release by eONE Films, writer/director Cronenberg explained why Pattinson was right for the part of Eric and how he went about tackling the adaptation of DeLillo's novel.

In casting Robert Pattinson, it's kind of a double-edge sword, isn't it? You have his Twilight fans anxious to support him in whatever he chooses to do and then you have the people who dismiss him because he is 'that guy from Twilight'.

"Yeah. In a weird way, on the one hand of course I'm completely aware of all of those elements and also of course when you're making a movie that for an independent movie was relatively expensive, you have to have a leading character who is very charismatic and who can carry the weight and has the star quality and so on, because you're going to be looking at him. He's literally in every scene in the movie, and that's pretty unusual. I mean even in Tom Cruise movies, Tom is not in absolutely every scene of the movie - but Rob is. So he has to have that. But at the same time, you want to forget the movies, you know? You want to forget his movies and my movies because we're creating this completely new thing and you don't know what audience you're going to get. You can anticipate it, you can think about it, but really you don't know. So ultimately when you're making the movie you're saying, 'Okay, I'm here with these actors. They're wonderful actors, I cast them because they're terrific and they will bring great stuff to the script,' and then at that point you're just making a movie and you're not thinking about any other movie."

Needing an actor to carry the film by being in every scene, how did you figure out Robert Pattinson was the right guy to play Eric?

[Laughing] "Well, this is the magic of casting! I think as a director, it's part of your job. It's a really important part of your job. I think a lot of people don't even realize that the director's involved in casting. Some people say, 'Did you choose your actors?,' and I say, 'Yes. You're not a director if you don't.'"

"Of course, you're juggling many things, like I say. You're juggling, for example, their passports. This is a Canada / France co-production and we were limited to one American actor. Most people of course don't know that - nor should they. Paul Giamatti is the only American in this movie even though it takes place in New York City. So from that kind of aspect to just finding the right guy...of course he's got to be the right age, there are a lot of things that are just basic. And then after that, though, there are no rules. You as a director just have to intuit that this actor will be able to carry off this role."

"We often talk about chemistry, for example, in movies between actors, let's say. When I was doing A Dangerous Method, Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender - how do I know they have chemistry together because I had never seen them in a movie together? They've never been in one; they've never met each other. I don't see them together until I'm actually directing them, so I have to be this kind of dating master who can anticipate that this couple will be good together. It's a strange kind of thing. So you give yourself credit when it works, and you have to berate yourself when somehow it hasn't worked. That's basically where you're left."

It strikes me with Cosmopolis that the chemistry actually needed to come between you and Robert more so than between Rob and any of his co-stars.

"There's truth in that too. That is the unspoken thing is the chemistry between the director and the actors is the key. And at a certain point I think Rob would...you know, he's a serious actor and he didn't want to be the one who was going to blow this movie. He was kind of thinking, 'Well, I'll be alone in that limo because I won't have one person who is always playing opposite me. It's really a one-man show with a lot of day players coming in.' And I said, 'No, you won't be alone because I'll be there. I'll be with you every moment.' And so that is a real element." (Kate: My heart!)

Do you think that you view the character of Eric the same way that author DeLillo did? Or do you think that you two don't necessarily agree on how an audience should look at him?

"I think we actually illuminate things for each other. I've been on the road doing publicity with Don in several countries and I think he was pretty intrigued by seeing what would happen. Because, after all, once you put Rob Pattinson in that role, that's a very specific thing. You've got a particular face and a particular voice and a body, and that's something that the novel can not have. That's one of the things that movies can do that novels can not do, and so it immediately shapes the character in a way that he wasn't shaped in the novel. So, there are differences, I think, but it's not a major split or divergence. It's just really shading and shaping things. It's just really hearing the dialogue spoken, which was something that when I read the novel, I thought, 'Yeah, I really want to hear this spoken by really great actors.' Just doing that immediately changes your reaction to the characters and to the words. So there is a difference, definitely."

"Robert Pattinson Has A Deep Knowledge Of Cinema With A Talent That Stretches Beyond What Is Shown In Twilight" - David Cronenberg

"Robert Pattinson Has A Deep Knowledge Of Cinema With A Talent That Stretches Beyond What Is Shown In Twilight"
More praise for Robert Pattinson this time from David Cronenberg who made surprise visit to a class at Queen’s University



His film Cosmopolis, based on the novel by Don Delillo, is in post-production. It stars Robert Pattinson as a Manhattan millionaire.

The film was shot in Toronto, a favourite shooting location of Cronenberg’s.

“I’ve never shot a foot of film in the U.S., even though a lot of my movies are set there,” he said.

Toronto also provided a refuge for Pattinson’s international celebrity, he said.

“When we were shooting on the streets, [Pattinson] had a lot of fans crowding around, but he could go to bars and clubs in his street clothes and people didn’t recognize him,” he said.

Cronenberg said Pattinson has a deep knowledge of cinema with a talent that stretches beyond what is shown in the Twilight Saga franchise.

“He’s a very serious actor. He wants to be great and takes the trouble to try and be great,” he said. “What he does in [Cosmopolis] will lay that question to rest, which a lot of people who are skeptical of Twilight are asking.”

Hollywood – After the “Twilight” stars left their prints in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Thursday, Robert Pattinson granted one special fan’s dying wish… with a little help from FOX 11′s Gigi Graciette. Gigi met that fan, Rachel, while covering the ceremony in Hollywood. Rachel, surrounded by her caregivers, told Gigi her story… and about how her biggest wish was to be able to meet Robert Pattinson. Gigi asked Pattinson and his publicist if he would do it… and the answer was “yes.” It was a touching moment for sure. Check it out in the video.

Blast from the Past: Robert Pattinson Interviewed by BBC

When I Was 12: Robert Pattinson

At Hogwarts school, Cedric Diggory was a top prefect, but was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire actor Robert Diggory such a perfect pupil when he was at school? (Gozde: Robert Diggory? Oh Rob you came a LONG way :))

Did you have school dinners or packed lunch?

School dinners. We didn't have packed lunches at my school. I was a lunch monitor as well - I used to take everyone's chips!

What was your most embarrassing moment?

Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

How much pocket money did you get?

I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning £10 a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

Did you have a nickname?

Patty because my surname is Pattinson.

What was your favourite cartoon?

I quite liked Sharkey and George and then there was a cartoon with rapper MC Hammer in it - Hammertime - I loved that cartoon, it was genius! They don't make cartoons like that anymore.

Who was your hero?

Probably Eminem as I was really into rap - or Jay Kay from Jamiroquai.

Who was your favourite teacher?

Probably my English teacher because she got me into writing instead of just answering the question. I used to hand in homework with 20 pages of nonsense and she'd still mark it. She was a really amazing teacher.

Were you ever bullied?

Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now!

What was your worst ever punishment at school?

I got expelled from my school when I was 12 - I was quite bad!

What did your school report say?

They were always pretty bad - I never ever did my homework. I always turned up for lessons as I liked my teachers but my report said I didn't try very hard.
