Robert Pattinson Birthday Countdown: Rob is a giver and so are we! "His fans care about his causes and it showed."


The ROBsessed/BagItTotes Scavenger Hunt is over and you guys are busy pulling together your answers to send to us. We'll post a recap for the questions later but in the meantime, we wanted to supply a "Rob is a giver" wallpaper that was requested during the ROBsessed Holiday Season and spread some awesome news from one of Rob's previous charities.



Click HERE for the HQ "Rob is a giver" wallpaper


The wallpaper features Rob from his participation with Stand Up 2 Cancer, an autographed guitar that was auctioned for the Dio Cancer Fund and the Home Plate Project.

If you guys recall, the artwork displayed in the wallpaper is Rob's original artwork titled Unfinished City. Rob drew this piece on a home plate for the Home Plate Project of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Click HERE to relive what the Power of Rob brought to this charitable auction.

Tim and Cory from the Home Plate Project reached out to us recently in hopes of contacting Rob to participate in the 2013 Home Plate Project. They said Rob's contribution was amazing:

"[Rob's] impact, heavily aided by the support you provided us, was amazing. His fan base is passionate, you care tremendously about his causes and it showed big time."

Tim and Cory told us Rob's involvement ended up generating over $12,000 for the charity and their team won the first year of the Give Back league volunteer competition! This honor was announced at their holiday party in December and the whole team reflected on the great experience they had from Rob's lending hand and his impactful fan base.

While I would have rather enjoyed writing them back and saying, "Why yes, Tim and Cory! I can help you. Let me cc Nick in this email and we'll set up a lunch with Rob to discuss his next one-of-a-kind, home plate masterpiece," I had to instead wipe away a sad tear and explain that my connection with Rob is merely in my dreams. *sigh*

The silver lining is we do have this blog and well...this....



...so there's a slim chance we can help them out and get the message out there that Tim and Cory from the Home Plate Project of the Arizona Diamondbacks want you, Rob! Slim is better than nothing, right?

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Rob flex his Picasso muscles again and sketch another metropolis on the brink of completion? Maybe he'll finish the town with chimney'd roofs and plentiful greenery?

Fingers crossed and I can't wait for us to have another CharityRob post! If you'd like to contribute to a Rob charity in honor of his birthday, here are links for a few:

• Stand Up 2 Cancer
• WWF - World Wide Fund for Nature (formally, World Wildlife Fund)
• Cancer Bites

Robert Pattinson reunites with Little Ashes co-star in Barcelona

This is too sweet. Robert Pattinson once starred in a movie called Little Ashes. It was before he was ROBERT PATTINSON if you know what I'm sayin'.

While the film was a male heavy, the main female in that film was Marina Gatell. Here are a couple of caps from the film with Rob and Marina.





And look who showed up to support Rob in Barcelona while he promoted Water for Elephants. :)



Photo caption: Rob and Marina Gatell reunited again at Barcelona!!! so sweet!!!


If you understand Spanish, here is the Rob & Marina story:

Y para las que quieran saber:
Rob en la última escena de Little Ashes acababa lleno de pintura, y esa escena la rodaron en un almacen donde no hubo baño. Y claro al terminar de rodar Rob estaba lleno de pintura, y no es como hoy en día que Rob tiene todas las facilidades, y tenía que marcharse a su hotel lleno de pintura. Así que claro el pobre no podía coger un taxi porque nadie quería que le manchara entero el coche, y tenía que andar mucho para llegar a su hotel y la gente le miraba por la calle. Así que Marina que se llevaba muy bien con el le ofreció su casa que estaba cerca para que pudiese ir a ducharse allí y poder quitarse la pintura. Esta anecdota la contó Rob en algunas ocasiones como un recuerdo muy bueno de su compañera :).

If you don't understand Spanish, here is the utterly confusing, lost in translation, Rob & Marina story:

"Rob in Little Ashes last scene just full of paint, and that scene shot in a warehouse where there was no bathroom. And of course the end of filming Rob was full of paint, and not like today that Rob has all the facilities and had to leave his hotel full of paint. So of course the poor man could take a taxi because no one wanted to be stained whole car, and had to walk far to get to your hotel and the people he looked down the street. So Marina got along very well with offered her house which was close so he could go to shower there and to remove the paint. This anecdote was told to Rob sometimes a very good memory of her companion."

Ok it's not SO bad. We remember the scene with Rob and the paint in Little Ashes. Tears at my heart. But no sad stuff. This encounter is just too cute.

RpattzSpain shares this: "I'm the girl who took the pic, and I can assure you Rob recognized her, he gave her a big hug and his phone number. Marina had tears at her eyes! It was really sweet."

All together now..."AWWWWWWWW!" <3
