Looks like we are going to see more "BABY ROB" :)
Baby Rob in Life and Style
Someone send me the scans ASAP, please :))) Baby Rob? The cutest thing EVER! Of course Life and Style had to put a "family secrets" title...But still, blond, baby Rob for the WIN! :))
Long before Robert Thomas Pattinson began driving women wild as dreamy vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie franchise, he was just a shy boy, nicknamed Patty, from London. "Rob's gobsmacked [British for astounded] by all the attention he's getting," an aunt of his, Diana Nutley, says in a revealing interview. "He's very cool about it all, but he can't believe it either."
But when he was growing up in a cozy Victorian home in London's Barnes neighborhood, the only females chasing the future actor were his sisters, Victoria, 28, and Lizzy, 25. "They used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as Claudia," recalls Rob, the only son of Richard Pattinson, a vintage-car dealer, and mom Clare,
a modeling-agency booker.
Although Rob sometimes took cover from his siblings, he was known for hamming it up at family gatherings. "I remember we had a party in the garden one July," Diana recalls. "We had a wonderful game to see how many dough-nuts we could eat without licking our lips. It's impossible -- Rob was covered in jam."
But Rob had cleaned up his act by the time he transferred from the all-boys Tower House prep school to the coed Harrodian School at age 12. "It was a real turning point for me," admits the actor, who earned pocket change then by delivering newspapers and walking dogs. "I became cool and discovered hair gel."

Robert Pattinson at Cannes?
According to Voici.fr (and a crappy online translation service I used :)) Rob will be at Cannes Film Festival with the director for his new movie "Remember Me" and they are looking for distribution. The article also says that they shouldn't have a hard time finding it. Yeah, no kidding. Bank on Rob! :)
The Festival is between May 13-24 and the weather will be so nice. Tempting to go no?
He'll be Europe for New Moon anyways ;)
Thanks to Little Bear for the link and Tina for the translation :)

Irving: We Had to mute Rob's Good Looks :)
From people.com:
For many Twilight fans, it's hard to imagine life without Robert Pattinson after his brooding performance in the 2008 film. (Gozde: Tell me about it! I go to the gym for 1.5 hours and 10 people sent me this article (thanks guys, y'all rock :)). I live and breathe Robert Pattinson :))
But Pattinson, 22, who stars in the independent film How To Be, almost decided to change his career focus, the film's director tells PEOPLE.
"He was thinking about giving up acting and maybe doing music solely when this role [in How To Be] came along," the film's director, Oliver Irving, tells PEOPLE. "He wanted to play the roles he wasn't getting."
Irving says that for Pattinson, being cast as the lead of role of an awkward, quirky young musician who hires a self-help guru to come live with him "got him back into the swing of things again." Irving adds that after the Harry Potter films, in which Pattinson played Cedric Diggory, "He was looking for something more challenging."
Among the challenges for Pattinson in How To Be, which filmed prior to Twilight, were playing the guitar, harmonica, and, for the director, muting his good looks. (Gozde: You mean like this? :))
"I said, 'You're banned from cutting your hair between now and the shoot,'" says Irving. "We had to give him the most awkward haircut we possibly could, and we cut his trouser length a little bit too high. Things like that played down his apparent good looks."
Honing his musical skills, however, came naturally to the actor. "He downplayed how good he was," says Irving. While playing the guitar and harmonica, Irving says, "A lot of the time he would turn out to have a really good technique and we told him he needed to play it more simply."
Irving says he isn't surprised that Pattinson's star has risen since the film, which is available on demand on IFC Festival Direct on April 29. "He has a playfulness and naivety that he was able to inject into the character. He's very down to earth and unpretentious. I think that's probably what makes him appealing."
Thanks to everyone that sent me the article, you guys rock :)
