ROBsessed™ - Addicted to Robert Pattinson

News Roundup

USA Today Celeb Heat Index
Hottest breakthroughs: In 2008, 298 stars joined the list. Those who got increased attention from celebrity magazines, websites and news shows include heartthrobs such as Twilight's Robert Pattinson, it-girls such as Gossip Girl's Blake Lively, political figures such as Barack Obama, and celebrity offspring including Harlow Madden and Zuma Rossdale.

The Sun Daily year in Review:

A new heartthrob also emerged. When Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince moved its November 2008 release date to summer 2009, Twilight was moved up from December 2008 to November.

Hence, with no Harry Potter to contend with, Twilight – a romantic tale based on Stephanie Meyer’s best-seller about a lonely teenage girl and her vampire boyfriend – turned out to be the choice of many youthful fans, especially the girls.

Robert Pattinson, who played the lovable but tragic Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, rose up from the dead to emerge as teenage girls’ new heartthrob in his leading role as vampire Edward Cullen (right).

Teen Ink Magazine Soundtrack Review:

I’ll admit that the first time I listened to the album, I immediately skipped to track 10. My incentive for buying this CD was to hear Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen in the movie) sing “Never Think.” Since his catapult to stardom, some of his music has appeared on the Internet. So it was no surprise that he would lend his vocals to the soundtrack.

Pattinson’s music has been compared to Jeff Buckley: bluesy with lots of groaning. But there is also a soft, subtle quality to his voice – completely swoon-worthy. Yes, I have a crush … leave me be!

British schoolboy Robert Pattinson became Hollywood's hot new star

HERE is a long article about Rob. I have selected some parts:

Robert is too smart to be stereotyped.

After gaining his heartthrob status in Harry Potter, he changed tack to play the troubled artist Salvador Dali in next year's raunchy Little Ashes.

He says: "I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, or I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature.

"Playing Dali has been a complete turning point for me. It's the first part I've had that has required really serious thought. I became completely obsessed with Dali during the filming, and I read every biography I could get hold of.

"He was the most bizarre, complex man, but in the end I felt I could relate to him." Robert is nothing if not pragmatic. A professional actor for seven years, he even had to pay his own school fees.

"I was at a small private school in London," he says. "I wasn't very academic. My dad said to me, 'OK, you might as well leave, since you're not working very hard'. When I told I him wanted to stay on for my A-levels, he said I'd have to pay my own fees, then he'd pay me back if I got good grades."
Robert did - an A and two Bs - but his father didn't pay, which must rankle.

Robert says of the car salesman: "My dad told me a lot of stories. I would never buy a car from him."

But it's clear Robert will have to answer to his family if he displays the slightest sign of diva-like behaviour.

Robert's aunt Monica Weller, from Leatherhead, Surrey, said: "My sister is going to make sure the fame does not go to his head." But she added: "Robert has wanted to be an actor for as long as I can remember. We are all really proud of him."

Robert readily owns up to the fact that he aspires to be Jack Nicholson and Twilight - his first lead role - is set to make him a superstar.

Happily, Robert isn't quite perfect. His American film bosses insisted that he wear a brace to correct his wonky chops. Pro that he is, he didn't have to be asked twice.

Today, his teeth are Hollywood perfect.
.....
Teenage girls, seemingly, just can't get enough of Stephenie Meyer's lusty, yet thoughtful, bloodsucker. Nor, it seems, of Robert. There's no stopping the boy.

We.Love.Him

UK Bliss Magazine Scans. Another phobia, getting sick. Yep, he is definitely making up these stuff. Same question different answers :)) And that's why We.Love.Him.

IMDb Article on Rob.

Is that a glimmer in Rob's beautiful eyes???
No its those damn Twilight contacts!

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson isn't looking forward to reprising his blood-sucking role in the hit film's sequel New Moon - because he has to wear uncomfortable contact lenses for the part.

The British star played vampire Edward Cullen in the box office adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's cult book, and has signed a multi-million dollar deal to play the character again in the franchise's second outing in 2010.

But he is dreading preparing to shoot the new venture - because wearing his character's topaz coloured contacts is such a painful ordeal.

He tells Britain's Ok! magazine, "Wearing coloured contact lenses... It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball."

And the star believes the dreaded lenses may inhibit his acting skills - because he couldn't properly portray his character's emotions due to the "two orange blobs" in his eyes.

He adds, "It was frustrating as well because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you've got two orange blobs in your face it's so annoying!

"The director (Catherine Hardwicke) would say, 'Look at her (Kristen Stewart) like you love her,' and I'd be like, 'I'm trying!' I'm going to have to do it again because we're making the sequel next year."

Okay how many breakout lists has he been on now? Its official...Rob is breaking out of 2008, and busting into 2009

Breakout Heartbreaker
ROBERT PATTINSON Not two months ago, Twilight had yet to hit theaters and actor Robert Pattinson was only known to some very devoted Harry Potter movie fans who knew him as Quidditch champ and (spoiler alert!) killed-off Hogwarts student Cedric Diggory. But in November, after starring as the celibate vampiric hunk Edward Cullen—he can never kiss the one he loves lest he suck her blood—Pattinson became the most-wanted and least-touchable tween idol to send young women reeling since the Jonas Brothers and their chastity rings. Case in point—when Robert cut his hair, his new ‘do was a top five search term in Google for days. Days.
