Shirtless Rob Sans the Dots Part Deux
Fan Encounter With Rob
Why do all the people that go to set/hotel stalk add the "I was so lucky!" line? When you check in to the same hotel as the cast, keep hanging around in the lobby or restaurants they go to it's not "luck" that you see them there :) Just say "I was waiting in the lobby in hopes of catching a glimpse" or something. Nobody believes the : "OMG, I was in the bathroom and Rob walked in! I realized I accidentally went into the men's bathroom! I mean what are the odds? It was like kismet" line (eye roll).
Just own up to it and I promise you'll sound saner :)
Apart from that... The picture above has now become one of my favourites. The smile is perfect, just perfect.
From CullenBoysAnonymous.com:
My fan encounter starts out on a plane. I knew that New Moon was filming, and i also knew that it was Robert Pattinson’s Birthday. Don’t ask how i knew that. Anyways, in my mind I was thinking how amazing it would be to actually meet Robert Pattinson, and say Happy Birthday. I mean who was i kidding.
As i got to Vancouver i checked into my hotel. Yes, the hotel most of the cast was “supposedly” staying at. I got checked in and settled into my hotel room, and got ready for dinner. I decided to go to Glowbal because, as a Twilight fan its obvious that you know that Glowbal is Robert’s favorite restuarant in Vancouver. Where else would he want to be on his birthday? As i get my table at Glowbal, i see a familiar, sculpted, perfect face, that you see all over the media. It was Robert Pattinson walking across the restuarant, with his friend Sam Bradley. So I quickly got out of my seat, and walked over to the guy (I was the first girl that went up to him). I asked him for a picture, to which he quickly answered “sure, but can we take the picture behind the wall” (So that he wouldn’t be attacked by crazed girls)(Gozde's note, I LOVE how everyone thinks they are the sane ones while others are crazy :)), but it was to late. Many girls went up to him and he takes many pictures. I apologize to him for the crowd. He says “Oh no, its okay”. To tell you the truth, i still felt terrible. I got him to sign my book, when i took it out of my purse he said, “Oh, you came prepared”, and asked ” what’s your name.” My night couldn’t of gotten any better.(Gozde... Pet peeve: "couldn't have" not of)
When I sat back down I couldn’t eat. It was hard when Robert Pattinson was sitting about two steps away from you. About a half an hour later guess who else walks right passed me, the beautiful Kristen Stewart. I really didn’t know what to do. She came in so quickly, and sat down at her table. Nobody, had the opportunity to get a picture with her. I decided that since nobody was allowed to go get an autograph or a picture with them at their table; I would wait for her to go to the washroom. I mean, the girl would have to use the washroom at least once tonight, right? (Gozde: If I'm ever famous (and thank God it's never gonna happen) please don't approach me while I'm about to pee or after I pee, it's totally creepy:) ) While I was holding my bladder more of the new moon cast came in. It was Ashley Greene and Jamie Campbell Bower.
So after waiting a long time to go to the washroom I decided that i could not wait any longer to use the bathroom. So as i walked into the washroom, I was thinking how cool it would be to meet Kristen in the bathroom. Sure, like that would ever happen. I probably had a better chance of getting struck by lightening, and hit in the head with a golf ball. Seriously.
As i walked into the bathroom there were to other girls that walked in the same time as i did. There were three stalls, and they were all taken. Then the two other girls left. After a few moments, i heard somebody else come in I was thinking how cool it would be if it was her. So (this might sound weird) I looked under the stall.(Gozde: It MIGHT sound weird? Dude! Seriously?) I saw a little pair of KEDS! OMG what if it was actually her! So I finished up, and saw the other stall door open. Kristen Stewart walked out. I was speechless. I mean what do you say to her. So, i let her wash up and everything, and then asked for a picture. She agreed and signed my book. NICEST GIRL YOU WILL EVER MEET! Very down to EARTH! Whoever started the rumors saying she was a bitch. WTF are you talking about? I asked her if she was having a good time, and if she liked Vancouver. To both questions she said “yes.” After a few minutes talking to her I decided that i should probably go back to my table. Honestly, I didn’t want to. I was in the same tiny bathroom as Kristen Stewart who is even more beautiful in person.
I was about to leave the restuarant when, out of the corner of my eye, i saw someone getting up from the “Twilight” table. It was Jamie Campbell Bower. He was going out for a smoke break. I thought that this would be another opportunity, so I jumped at the chance. When I got outside, I asked for a picture with him, to which he also agreed. As i went in to stand by him, he to my surprise said, “Its a bit chilly, snuggle up.” I am positive at that moment i was blushing a little, he also signed my book. After the picture was taken, I talked to him about the paparazzi, which i didn’t even know existed in Vancouver. And we talked about Vancouver, to which he said was “absolutely beautiful.”
My night couldn’t of gotten any better, until the next day.
I was in the lobby with my friend when all of a sudden we see Ashley Greene. We were so lucky to get an autograph and picture with her, because she was just leaving for the airport. I asked her how Rob’s Birthday was, and she answered “good”. She was also a very sweet girl.
That night after my friends and I went out for dinner, who do we see in the lobby? The one and only Taylor Lautner. I noticed him walking around the corner of the lobby, because i saw his dark hair, bright teeth, and amazing body. My friends and I asked him for a picture to which he agreed, and we talked for a couple of minutes. My friend couldn’t get her camera to work so he waited patiently, and I talked to him about filming. I knew it wasn’t the hotel he was staying at he said that he was picking up Selena (to which i met earlier that day; also a very sweet girl), and he left for her hotel room, and then came back down with her and her family to go for a walk!
My trip to Vancouver couldn’t of gotten any better especially after meeting Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the first night, but it did. So when i came back from Vancouver, I brought back autographs, pictures, and memories, that i will never forget.
thanks, Amy

Interviews from France
“I’m a great fan of Belmondo”
Yellow lenses and pale complexion , Rob Pattinson stopped for a few minutes on
the set of “New Moon” to talk with us about the successful franchise and his
recent career.
Metrofrance : When we met you in Paris, You could walk freely in the street
without being noticed. I guess things must have changed since !
Robert Pattinson : I can’t walk in the street anymore, except if I’m dressed up
! (laughs). In fact it’s a relief to come back on a set.
Metrofrance : Were you surprised bu the huge success of the first sequel ?
Robert Pattinson : I am still surprised ! Even here, on the set. Yesterday,
there were 300 people waiting to catch a glimpse of us. It’s absolutely crazy :
everyday I talk to someone who loves it, or who knows someone who loves,
Twilight” ! It’s so crazy that I don’t dare get outside. Even when I arrive at
an airport, there’s always a custom officer to ask me an autograph for his
daughter !
Metrofrance : Did you choose a different approach for Edward ?
Robert Pattinson : Yes a lot. I consider now he is a ghost, a thing out of
Bella’s mind. I am more a memory than a character, which is very weird. I must
give the impression that his world is about to collapse any second
Metrofrance : Are you going to sing again on the soundtrack ?
Robert Pattinson : I don’t think so, even if it’s too early to state it !
Twilight’s soundtrack sold out so well that a lot of famous bands want to be
part of it !
Metrofrance : You must have a lot of propositions. How do you choose the “good
ones” ?
Robert Pattinson : My schedule is tight up to the end of the year, and all the
roles I have chosen are completely different one from another. I can’t give you
more details because all the contracts are not signed yet. But obviously, I
don’t choose according to the type of film but according to the screenplay and
the character. Only one thing matters : I must like them.
Metrofrance : When you were a child , were you fond of a particular actor ?
Robert Pattinson : As a kid, I didn’t know I was going to be an actor. So when I
started, it took me 3 or 4 years to realize it was really my job. However if I
had to choose, I would say Jack Nicholson and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Metrofrance : Belmondo ?
Robert Pattinson : I like his being an anti hero, the kind of actor who seems to
be self confident and who doesn’t mind assuming his feelings.

From Technikart Magazine:
Robert Pattinson: « Everything happens so fast” »
Technikart Team was in charge of the daily report «SuperCannes» during the whole
Festival . She came across Robert Pattinson, the teenagers’ idol. This is a
record of a Live interview
Technikart : What happened yesterday Rob ? We were told about a riot in the
whereabouts of Carlton…
Robert Pattinson : Oh yes, there was one indeed (laughs but upset). I was having
my lunch when about 700 people stuck in front of the restaurant’s entrance near
the beach. It was kind of funny… I was carried by 3 bodyguards up to the car
which was parked in front of. I was literally carried, I didn’t touch the
ground. This is so weird.
Technikart : This is your life since about a year now ?
Robert Pattinson : Everything got more intense 6 months ago. It’ s difficult to
handle it out, it’s too fast. I don’t have the necessary distance, not enough to
be able to find a parade to all this mess.
Technikart : George Clooney has a trick to escape fans : he takes Brad Pitt with
him.
Robert Pattinson : Oh yeah, I guess it must be efficient but you have to be
friend with Brad Pitt…
Technikart : Is it not the case ?
Robert Pattinson : I don’t know him. But the thing with celebrity, you can’t
fight it, it’s useless, you can’t run away . When it was something you were not
looking froward all your life, something you have never dreamed of, you can
freely not give a damn about it. They can shout my name, if they want to but I
can ignore it. I didn’t sign a contract with Disney, no clause compels me to
smile to photographs.(Gozde: So there you go! All you conspiracy theory believers, you hear that?)
Technikart : How are you feeling about shooting a film knowing the next one, and
also the next one and the next one are already on the draft ? How long are you
still stuck into «Twilight» ?
Robert Pattinson : In fact, it’s pretty cool because my character can’t get old
! To me It’s the key of this adventure. I’m not in the same situation as the
Harry Potter characters , who spent 10 years of their lives in these movies.
There’s nothing more frightening than signing up a contract for several movies
but in fact in September I will have wrapped 3 of the 4 Twilight series . Only
in a year. New Moon will be released in November, Eclipse next summer and
Breaking Dawn at Xmas 2010. Soon I will be freed from my contract.
Technikart : How is it in Cannes, Rob ? Do you have fun ?
Robert Pattinson : So so… I would like to do some things. I am not doing
anything. I hate being photographed. But I like the hotel…
Technikart : Which hotel is it?
Robert Pattinson : L’hôtel du Cap. It’s like a job. I have business lunches. I
leave restaurants on board speed boats, I feel like James Bond, this is cool.
However I will have time to attend Tarantino’s movie. But I guess the climbing
of the red carpet will ruin everything. I already hate it. (he pretends he is in
front of a crowd of imaginary photographs) «Yeah , all your fucking photos will
be on the headline tomorrow !»

What were the alternatives of "Hole on Tight Spider Monkey"?
We already knew it from the Twilight Commentary but here are the other lines that Catherine wrote :)
From MTV.com:
'Twilight' Star Robert Pattinson Hand-Picked 'Spider Monkey' Line
We give you a peek at the other lines that could have made it into the film instead.
By Larry Carroll
VENICE, California — In the time since it was first revealed by MTV last year, it has gone on to become one of the most famous lines in the "Twilight" world.
"You'd better hold on tight, spider monkey."
And while an actual spider monkey isn't nearly as cute as Kristen Stewart, the phrase has taken on a life of its own, inspiring MySpace pages, T-shirts, and dozens of other fan tributes. Now, "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke is cluing fans in on the eight other lines that nearly became Robert Pattinson dialogue in that "spider monkey" scene.
"There's some stuff in here like ... well, like the 'Hold on tight, spider monkey' line," laughed Hardwicke last week when we visited her house to see the fabled rooms where she held her "Twilight" casting sessions. In the kitchen's glass case, she showed us a dog-eared copy of her shooting script — with the "spider monkey" line scribbled into a margin.
"That would be [written in] the night before," Hardwicke remembered of the evening before she shot the now-famous scene where Kristen Stewart's Bella hops on the back of Pattinson's Edward, getting an eye-opening glimpse at his superhuman powers as they frolic through the woods together. "I woke up in the middle of the night. I thought, 'They're going to be climbing that tree, and they're not going to have anything to say. It's just going to be another scene of them looking into each other's eyes.' "
Unfortunately, the writers' strike had begun, and "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg was no longer available to provide dialogue. "So I typed up, like, 10 ideas," Hardwicke recalled. "And thought, 'OK, maybe they could say this ...' "
At this point during our interview, Hardwicke went over to her computer and printed out a sheet from her personal archives. Titled "Sc. 86 pt. DIALOGUE ALTERNATIVES," the sheet lists the eight other options that Hardwicke wrote that evening.
"I gave it to Rob, the whole list," she explained. "And I said, 'Rob, which one do you want to say?' And he goes, 'I want to say the spider-monkey one.' "
Hardwicke's unused lines range from simplistic to silly, over-the-top to right on target. Now, we give you a peek at some of the alternative lines that Pattinson did not select:
Option 1:
Edward: You're not scared of heights, are you?
Bella: Not that I know of ...
Option 2:
Edward: Hold on tight ...
Bella: Don't worry ...
Option 3:
Edward: Wrap your legs around me like a spider monkey.
Bella: Done.
Option 4:
Edward: Got a good grip? Don't let go.
Bella: No chance of that, buddy.
Option 5
Edward: Prepare for liftoff ...
Reading over her unchosen chunks of dialogue, Hardwicke told us that she was glad Rob picked the now-immortal "spider monkey" line. "It's a fun line," she grinned. "Thank god he picked that one."
To read the three remaining "spider monkey" alternatives that didn't make the cut — including the line that Harwdicke wanted to include as a tribute to the movie "All About Eve" — head on over to the MTV Movies Blog. There, you can vote on which lines are real — and which is the fake one that we've thrown in there for fun. On Monday, the fake will be revealed.
