As MTV get ready for their first ever live stream with Robert Pattinson (which BTW you can still send in questions for, details here)
They look back on their favourite MTV Rob Moments.
And at No5 is .............
It was early April 2008, and "Twilight" hadn't yet become a global box-office phenomenon and set off an epidemic of pop-culture copycats seeking to suck up some of the franchise's supernatural lifeblood. Back then, when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were just two up-and-coming actors making a movie for an independent studio, MTV News traveled to the film's Portland, Oregon, set to find out just what was happening with this gothic-tinged love story everyone seemed to be buzzing about.
The duo were alternately shy and unguarded, jokey and awkward, and generally far different than they are these days, with the press invading every aspect of their personal and professional lives. That's why, even years later, our first-ever "Twilight" interview remains one of our favorite RPattz moments. And as we count down the days until "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" airs next Friday at 8:56 p.m. ET, we hauled the footage from our vaults.
"Kristen's the best actress of her generation, and that's why I wanted to do this movie. I don't know why she is, but she's better than everyone else," Pattinson told us, breaking out into laughter as he kept the attention on his co-star and away from himself.
"You don't want me to talk about you?" Stewart asked, before doing just that. "I think he's really handsome."
Throughout the interview, they exchanged knowing glances, laughed at themselves and each other, and paused for long periods as they searched for the right word or anecdote. This was the "Twilight" stars, pre-media training, and it's utterly endearing. Can you imagine them now so openly discussing what it's like to smooch on camera?
"His teeth are pretty sharp," Stewart laughed. "It's great. I like it."
"Every time, I just try to kill her," Pattinson added.
"And [Bella] likes it," Stewart said. "She's a total sadomasochist, if you think about it."

Chris Weitz Twitters On About Robert Pattinson
Once again our favourite guy on twitter Chris Weitz was busy answering all the questions that everyone was firing at him. I honestly don't know how he keeps up with it all.
Here's a round-up of the ones that were about Rob and once again I'll ask, if you're not following him on Twitter "What are you waiting for??"
TwiFans @chrisweitz did you cry like a blubbering girl while reading the break up scene in New Moon? #itsnormal
CW What? No way...unhhh unhunnnhhhh don't remind me
(Kate: Giggle (not sure why I'm laughing about it, I was a mess)
RPattzgirl@chrisweitz did you notice after Bella saves Edward his white makeup is in her right sleeve? I love that part, BTW
CW I totally meant it Rona pent at way because um-- I meant that to happen (Kate:I'm not sure what he was trying to say in the middle of this?)
CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz , i heard sometimes it would be cloudy on set and you'd ask robert to come by and suddenly the sun would shine. true/false?
CW He wouldn't have to come to set, I could just call him on the walkie and be like, dude, fix the weather.
Kate: And as we all know Rob can brighten up ANY day!
CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz i heard you made robert pattinson wear uggs on set.... just because you could.
CW This is also true. He'd show up looking less than a 10 and I'd be like, "Uggggg-lee" and then He'd hang his head and get the boots.

Robert Pattinson quotes and more from the Water For Elephants Production Notes
Before you jump into reading these great production notes from Water For Elephants - please note there are some spoilers! Don't click on the thumbnails if you want to stay spoiler free...
My favourite paragraph from the whole thing is this one...... the images it brings to mind are beautiful.
Anyone else jealous of an elephant right now? I want to hunt for treats on Robert Pattinson's person!
Some more un-spoilerish quotes:
Rob on the book: Someone sent me the book, and I immediately connected to it.
Rob on the screenplay: Somehow, it seemed like Francis and Richard had added even more to the story. (Kat: which makes me even more excited to see this movie if that's possible!)
Francis Lawrence on Robert: I thought Robert WAS Jacob Jankowski. It was difficult to find a young man of age 23 or 24 who didn't seem too young for the part. Rob was already a man. He is thoughtful, intelligent, empathetic, strong, and confident. (Kat: Rob has yet another fan - Mr. Lawrence is a smart man!)
Robert Pattinson on his character, Jacob Jankowski: Jacob is mysterious and quiet; he's an observer. He's always watching people and he has an intuitive relationship with animals, and a deep understanding of human nature.

Chris Weitz keeps us entertained with Robert Pattinson mentions on Twitter
Chris Weitz keeps us entertained with Robert Pattinson mentions on Twitter
Kate and I are straight up obsessed with Chris Weitz tweets. We love that he tweets like an addict. Wanna see us fangirl? Watch us ask any and every question under the sun when he appears on Twitter. We both recently got some questions answered (I think he called me mija!) and here are the latest Rob/Edward-related tweets from the last couple of days.
(Tink: I don't think we'll ever be satisfied with his answers for nipplegate)
And that's the latest! A special congrats to Spunk Ransom for winning his haiku contest.
Here's a runner up haiku that Mr. Weitz tweeted:
And I simply couldn't resist sharing this gem...
Follow this man! ;)
camila_0905 @chrisweitz What was the first thing that went through your mind when you were invited to direct New Moon?
CW: "Oh boy, this is gonna involve a LOT of tweeting down the road, isn't it?"

A_Pickens @chrisweitz Which do you like better Rob's American accent or British accent? Is it tough for him to switch between the two? Please answer!!
CW: I prefer his native Slovenian accent. It's amazing that he's fooled the world into thinking he's a Brit.
SedaRobsten @chrisweitz If you would have a chance to film American pie with actors of New Moon who would you choose for the role of Jim?
CW: Mike Welch=Jim Tyson Houseman=Finch Taylor=Oz Billy Burke=Jim's Dad Rob's eyebrows=Jim's dad's eyebrows
@VampGurl05: @chrisweitz do you think robert pattinson is hot?(Tink: no contest...)
CW: I felt his forehead, he seem ok, no fever
jet_set_go @chrisweitz i think you have beautiful eyebrows. would you say so? even more beautiful than rob's?
CW: I think only a brow-off could prove this. But thanks ^^.
VampireGirlee @chrisweitz if you could pick one character from new moon to play, who would you pick? :L
CW: Well, I would like to THINK I'm like Ed but really I'm like Mike
Lavixia @chrisweitz I have always wondered why Edward, while in Italy,has a bruise on his nipple.He had a fight with someone or something like that?
CW: That was me. One day he wouldn't come to set and I had to give him a purple nurple.
(Tink: I don't think we'll ever be satisfied with his answers for nipplegate)
kjstewrtpattz @chrisweitz What was the fast food that you, Rob and Kris more eated when you guys were shooting New Moon?In n Out, McDonalds, Burger King?(Tink: awwwwww....Weitz has them hostage!)
CW: There is a wonderful Vancouver place called the Poutine Pit
Melll_xxx @chrisweitz Were Rob,Kristen and Taylor fun to work with on the set of new moon?! Any funny stories? ;)
CW: Meh
TwilightCougar1 EPIC!!! RT @Late2thePartee @chrisweitz Rob's sexpender pants went missing during New Moon. We last saw them in Italy. Did you take them? ;)
CW: Why? how much would you want for them IF, say, I knew a guy who knew a guy who had them?
@Luh_Cullen_rc: @chrisweitz what was the weirdest thing that Rob did on set?(Tink: Can I apply to be his "practice" assistant on films?)
CW: He wanted to "practice kissing" with me. Not appropriate.
@BlueEyedLady67 I would like to know what happened to Edwards silver Volvo(Tink: *bitchface* I won't let this question die. Persist, I will.)
CW: let's just say I have a Volvo. And it's silver.
SkylarLSpencer I've been asking this for days. RT @tinkrbe1l3 @chrisweitz have you heard Rob's music? ... was he approached for NM soundtrack?
CW: Keep asking until I can think of a diplomatic answer
kjstewrtpattz @chrisweitz Did you meet or hear about Robert`s and Kristen`s new dog??????????????????????????????(Tink: LMAO)
CW: Yes, I took it as a stealth question about whether they're together and deflected it!
And that's the latest! A special congrats to Spunk Ransom for winning his haiku contest.
spunk_ransom @chrisweitz The winds that blows - ask them, which leaf on the tree will be next to go. ~ M
CW: Thank you for all your submissions, they ROCKED so hard I will give $1500 instead, via the donations handled by Tortoise General Store on Abbot Kinney in Venice (wonderful Japanese importer, they have people on the ground in Japan). Thanks all
Here's a runner up haiku that Mr. Weitz tweeted:
Tkegl @chrisweitz They protest too much...Jake and Edward in the tent...secret forbidden love?
And I simply couldn't resist sharing this gem...
Paty_od @chrisweitz you came in Italy and did not say anything?
CW: I am a quiet lover.
Follow this man! ;)
