The Seattle Times Ask Robert Pattinson About The Bed-Breakingly Beautiful "Breaking Dawn"
Try and say that in a hurry!
I'm pretty sure "Breaking Dawn" WILL be bed-breakingly beautiful and The Seattle Times sat down with Robert Pattinson to talk about it........
LOS ANGELES — Could it be possible that "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" might actually be ... adult? (Kate: With a bit of luck, YES)
The fourth film adapted from the Stephenie Meyer series about a teenage girl/vampire/werewolf romantic triangle goes places where the first three blockbusters in the series didn't dare.
Like the bedroom. (Kate: Whoo hoo)
Yup, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's achingly chaste Bella and Edward finally get hitched and take a honeymoon in this one.
New-to-the-franchise director Bill Condon ("Gods and Monsters," "Kinsey") doesn't shy away from passionate expressions of young marital love. And it's really kind of beautiful in its bed-breaking way. (Kate: Bed-breaking is ALWAYS beautiful especially when it's done by Rob)
But then, oh my. Pattinson, who shot to fame playing the courtly, lovestruck bloodsucker Edward Cullen, is still trying to wrap his head around where the tween-adored, carnally toothless fantasy has gone this time around.
"You spend three movies setting up the absolute, terrifying fear of sex," observed the 25-year-old English actor. "Then in this one, you have sex, and there are devastating consequences. I don't really know what it's supposed to be saying."

(Keep in mind that this is not the most reliable newspaper but if/when there is confirmation or more news about this we will let you know)
In the meantime keep everything crossed because we want to see Rob strut his stuff right?
From the Daily Star
ROYAL megastars Wills and Kate are all set to take Hollywood by storm.
The newly-weds are heading to Tinseltown and a glittering £16,000-a-table ball for the film industry’s movers and shakers.
And they will also be giving young Brit stars a helping hand.
More than 40 of the country’s hottest talents will be their guests at the bash.
The Brits To Watch black tie charity evening is being hosted by Bafta, who have Prince William as patron.
Major movie studios like Fox, Warner Brothers, Universal and Disney have scrambled for tables at the event.

Thanks To Aimee for the tip!
From the BAFTA's press release
The forty two emerging Brits have been selected by an expert BAFTA panel based on a number of criteria. They will generally not be complete beginners in their industry, and will have already begun to show real promise. BAFTA will announce the names of those attending prior to the event.

The Guardian (UK) talks Robert Pattinson and Cosmopolis
Can't wait for that "teen" label to vanish. Emilie De Ravin, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, Kristin Scott Thomas, Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard...are they working with many "teen" pin-ups lately? Yes, Robert Pattinson appeals to teens and they do in fact have him pinned up ;) but he would not be booking these jobs with these co-stars (or directors) if he was soley some "teen" pin-up.
What do you guys think?
Thanks Steffi for the tip and Annie for the gif :)

Robert Pattinson's Interview with The Mirror (UK)
British tabloid newspapers publish a lot of untruth and made up interviews, which makes me question just about every interview they actually publish. This one 'sounds' like Rob... but I'll always be cautious...
Robert Pattinson appears a little befuddled. The Twilight heart-throb has come straight from a night-shoot on the movie he’s filming, Water For Elephants, into our interview. In real life, Rob couldn’t be further removed from the character he plays in the Twilight saga, Edward Cullen. He’s warm, funny, and, in sharp contrast to Edward, very relaxed. There are no pouts and fiery-eyed stares from Pattinson. He and co-star Kristen Stewart will not discuss their off-screen relationship, despite ’jokingly’ stealing a kiss on stage at the MTV Movie Awards in June, but he’s happy to talk about anything else, from the serious to the trivial. Clearly, he was not built for superstardom – he finds the interview process awkward – but he’s loosened up since his early pre-Twilight interviews and luckily he’s not cursed with an A-lister’s ego. Dressed in jeans and white shirt, his famously wild hair neatly cropped, he settles down for a natter about life…
Have your mates ever called you Edward by mistake?
People have called me Edward – not family, that would be weird! My mates might have done it to rib me. They don’t really know about Twilight, but some of them found out about this R-Pattz thing, so now one of them always calls me R-Pattz, which he thinks is hilarious.
Edward can read thoughts. If we could hear your thoughts, what would they sound like?
Complete silence, dust blowing in the wind. Or maybe just like white noise…
What aspects of Edward do you most identify with?
It’s changed a bit in this film. In the first two, I guess there was his feeling that you can’t relate to anyone, or no one can relate to you. I was like, ’I never want to talk to anyone’. I used to feel like that when I was younger. I’ve grown up now. (Kat - you sure have grown up... and in a beautiful way!)
Are you a traditionalist, like Edward?
It is quite pronounced in the movie, and I respect that, but when I work on other films, I want to play really amoral characters. (Kat - you're not the only one who wants you to play amoral characters...) I don’t feel like I have to stand by his values, but I respect them. I guess courtship is a good thing, but only if it’s pleasurable. Some people meet each other in a bar and sleep with each other that night, then stay with each other for the rest of their lives. Or they could stay with each other and never get married. It just doesn’t make any difference.
You definitely play an amoral character in your next film, Bel Ami.
Yes. There’s something fun about Bel Ami, going from Edward to some guy who pretty much abuses women to get money out of them. Edward so wouldn’t approve – and I thought that was a funny irony. In Bel Ami all the women my character screws over are all attracted to him to begin with, so he starts having affairs with them and destroys their lives.
You are much less intense than Edward, clearly…
I don’t know, I guess in a lot of ways. I think the main thing is he’s very extreme in his way of thinking, and I’m not like that. I don’t think in such absolutes, like ’I can’t be with this girlfriend, I’m going to kill myself!’ It’s quite a teenage thing.
Can you go out anywhere without being mobbed?
In LA, sometimes I can. I wish I still had the beard I wore for Bel Ami. (Kat - mmmmm, beard!) It was a good disguise. But LA is definitely harder than London, although London’s changed recently. The good thing about Britain in that respect is that people are often too embarrassed to come and say stuff. They’re embarrassed to have even seen you. I used to go into the same HMV shop all the time and they had New Moon posters everywhere, and I was worried I’d get stalked, but the guys at the counter would not even look at me, even though there were posters everywhere.
How hard is it to dodge the paps in London?
I can’t believe I was photographed recently going to buy underpants with my best friend in Marks & Spencer. They were 5ft away – we were going to have this nice little day, and they photographed me buying underpants! (Kat - See it's bits like this that make me wonder about this interview... do guys really call their guy friends their best friends? On a side note... M&S undies are the best, I've lived in the US for 10 years and I still stock up on M&S unmentionables when I'm home.. OK I digress, back to Rob!)
So you can laugh it off?
Yeah, the only time things matter is when people start calling my family for stories. That gets in the way. 99 per cent of stuff is just made up. The thing is, the more stuff is reported, the more it starts to affect your career. If you’re constantly in gossip magazines people think, ’He’s not a proper actor, he’s just a gossip person.’
Do you want to step out of the limelight?
I want to produce a film. It would be so satisfying to turn up to work and not have to go into costume or make-up. You stand behind the monitor and don’t even have the responsibility of the director.
You recently said you think you might be dead by 30. What was that about?
I was talking about luck running out. When I was doing interviews for Harry Potter, I was thinking, ’I don’t want this to be all the luck in my life.’ So now I’m getting ridiculously lucky and I wonder if I might suffer some punishment at the hands of the universe and be dead by the time I’m 30. I like to believe in fate, so I’m not responsible for anything!
You’re working with animals on Water For Elephants. How’s that?
Almost every day I’m working with an exotic animal; there are scenes where I’m leading buffalo and elephants into cages. It’s insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth. They were like, ’It’s fine, he does it all the time.’ And I was like, ’Erm, OK…’ But they had to get him to do it harder, because he was being so gentle and just licking my arm. (Kat - would you mind if I licked your arm?)
Is it true you’re going to play Kurt Cobain in the Nirvana movie?
Sometimes these things just appear. I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed. And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying ’What the f*ck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ’I f*cking said no, you d*ck!’ I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him!’ It’s ridiculous.
