Forbes Breakout Stars of 08

No.5 Robert Pattinson

Once little known for his supporting role as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series, Pattinson is now drawing big crowds--and drooling ladies--of his own. In recent weeks, he's graced a slew of magazine covers and scored dozens of interviews for his starring role as Edward Cullen, the vampire in the silver screen's heavily hyped Twilight adaptation. Still more proof of his fan interest: The flick's opening weekend delivered a jaw-dropping $70 million at the U.S. box office.

Love that pic!!

DirtyD said...

*Copied from last post*

Dani- completely random I know but i have to tell you that you have the most beautiful eye color.

Are they really dark blue or are they lighter? They look dark in your picture.

Sabrizzle said...

He looks really sleepy in this pic. I'm glad he's getting some time off soon, he deserves it.

Dani said...

Oh Dana that is really sweet...the color shows up nicely in pics but generally they look really grey/blue not nearly as nice as when a big FLASH is in my face.

Alright my lovelies gotta get off for a while I will...oh "get off" sorry about that...ummm gotta run for a while lets say. See you in a bit.

Love that this guy is on everyone's "breakout" list. He is going to be a big star...*tear* so proud.

DirtyD said...

He's wearing that fantastic sweater. Damn he looks good in that!

Sabrizzle said...

Hasta luego Dani!

Amy said...

Yay for Rob! Another list, and Forbes at that. Geez he is just taking over everything.

Kate said...

It's alright Dani we know what you "get off" on ;-)

Bye Dani

DirtyD said...

Gotta go eat dinner, be back in a bit :)

Sabrizzle said...

Bye for now, Dana!

Kate said...

Bye Dana!

Anonymous said...

Is forbes a good list then? I'm familiar with the name, but never paid much attention.

Theres been quite a few lists he's featured on that i'm getting confused over them all.
But i guess its the time of year for lists galore!

Some disney stars; a couple of american idols; Katy Perry and some others i haven't heard of - i suppose he's in good company for a 'breakout star' list.

Though the bias part of me thinks he should be top of the list! :)

Hey ladies...Why is everyone so surprised about Rob except us? We knew eons ago that he was gonna be hot! Man, I've been overdosing on Rob pix on Rob Pattinson Online. Humina, humina, humina....

Jewels64 said...

Katie...Forbes lists are like the be all and end all as far as commercial success is concerned.

Sabrizzle said...

Which pics are you obsessing over Jules?

Anonymous said...

lol just google'd Forbes

Of course i've heard of them - duh me!

I must have been having a braindead moment. Forbes are always making lists!

Katie xxx

Jewels64 said...

Every fucking one of them! LMAO

Kate said...

Ya come Jules Spill!

Jewels64 said...

I needed a little cheer after my lights fizzled out on my Christmas tree just as I put the last decoration on! Bummer.

But I applied a Rob bandaid, threw back a martini and now it's all good....

Sabrizzle said...

Hahahaha! I just opened my Rob file on my laptop to see how many pics I have saved and found out I have 2270! And I still don't feel like I have enough pics of him.

Sabrizzle said...

Sorry to hear about your lights croaking Jules, that sucks!

Kate said...

2270! OMG where did you get that many?

Sabrizzle said...

I don't know, I save practically every picture I come across. What's really scary is that before September there were no Rob pictures on my computer. My file for Ryan Villopoto (one of my fav motocross riders) pics has 2727 and that file has been going on since 2005!

Kate said...

Well TBH I can believe that because he's everywhere you look. Well not quite so much over here but it's starting. I can feel it in my bones!!LOL

Sabrizzle said...

Haha, yeah Rob is going to be everywhere globally soon.

Dani said...

Hey just an FYI on Rob's IMDb board there is a post about Catherine Hardwick being canned from directing New Moon. Comes from a "reliable" source this news, I'm waiting for Summit to confirm it but if this is true it comes at a horrible time when she is promoting Twilight on the EuroTour.

Sabrizzle said...

Oh I hope that's not true! I love how CH is so passionate about the books. I think most of the problems with Twilight had to do with the low budget and the screenplay itself.

Anonymous said...

Oh, I hope CH isn't out. I love her enthusiasm and she seems to love our Rob and his music.

moviegirl (I'll sign up for an account soon!)

Kate said...

Aah no I hope that's not true:-(
She's so passionate about it !

Anonymous said...

Yeah i just read about that too.
I haven't seen the film yet so cant comment on how well she does, but i thought that she seems like a nice woman, friendly with fans etc.

Apparently Nikki Finke (who broke the story) is usually accurate with info like this so who knows?

Katie xxx

Jenny said...

whoooo boy Catherine canned? Well. well. That's a shame.

Jenny said...

P.s Dani your new pic is adorable.

Jenny said...

wow, just read it. Summit sinks lower and lower in my opinion, faster than a ton lead in a cannon to the whale shit basin of the sea. Sorry, but she did more for that film than they can appreciate.

Dani said...

Welcome MovieGirl! Yes you get your buns into an account soon! Glad to have ya!

Thanks Li- your weiner pic makes me giggle....so cute.

I like CH personally and I wonder how Nikki Reed will react if it is true. So far I think only Rob and K Stew are contracted legally for the next two movies.

Anonymous said...

Lots of sites reporting it now:
RopeOfSilicon.com,Cinematical.com, ComingSoon.net,FirstShowing.net
But they all refer to the same source

How awful will tomorrows Paris promotion be for CH, surely she'll be asked about it? I feel so sorry for her.

Katie xxx

Ellie said...

Hi, I'm back!!(did you know I was gone??) :)

Dani--You're right on your questioning about Nikki and CH; There's lots of history there.

And glad your night was a nice one.

La Stella said...

Dani, I remember Peter Facinelli saying he had a contract for three movies.

Ellie said...

That's got to be so hard to meet the media after news like that (IF it's true...)

Kim said...

WAY TO GO, FUTURE HUSBAND!
You go honey,
they don't even know all you're capable of yet, you're just really only just getting started also. They are about to be blown out of the water by you like a blue whale or a sperm whale surfacing.:)
(I am not biased at all.)

I predicted after I posted my personal opinion about Twilight
that I thought it would gross over 150 million, even though I said I wasn't impressed by Twilight.

I thought they could of done a better job. But I stated that because I knew Rob would bring the women in.
Box office draw = Robert Pattinson.
I'm glad the studios know that now.
By the way HI Everyone.
And Jules,
I read your comment sorry I had logged off already.
Hi MACARONI, I luv ya.
Your Cheese.

Sabrizzle said...

Hey Jov, missed ya babe!

Kim said...

deadlinehollywooddaily.com

But just remember these are still
suppisitious statement until Summit announces this officially.

I am saddened by the news.

Kim said...

Hi Sabrizzle!

Missed ya too.
I am so proud of myself haven't been on since Friday night.

It's been a great weekend, how about yours?

Dani said...

Ellie you're a doll.

Stella-D I do recall him saying that but they all said that at one point and Summit alluded to new players possibly in New Moon in EW...either way a change is gonna come. I see drama in the future.

Just horrible timing on this. CH seems like she would take it in stride she is a classy dame, but still how horrible on the leg of the Euro promo to hear this news and be questioned.

Ellie said...

Good Evening, Jov!
I see you couldn't stay away til Monday...
I don't blame you, I couldn't do that, either! xoxo

and yes, I knew Rob would blow it out of the water, too. He's got amazing talent. And is sexy, hot, spine-tingling, luscious, lip-smacking, and scrumptious as all get out!

Kim said...

Dani, I love your photos, your eyes and your lips, you gorgeous sweetie.

Sabrizzle said...

My weekend has been pretty good, lots of Robsessing and working on my final project for my drawing class. I'm trying to finish it today and I also need to study for my PR final tomorrow (yuck!).

Kim said...

You lips are kissable. I do not have a girl crush, sorry. I haven't experienced that yet, even though I think the woman's body is incredible.
I know men just think how the hell can women be interested in us when our bodies are really do boring compared to women.

Kim said...

Just remember it's all worth it, if I didn't have my degree I don't think I would of had the choices I have.
I'm proud of you for what you're doing.

Ellie said...

Dani--Love you too, sweetheart.

Kim said...

Hi Ellie, it was fun the other night wasn't it?

I told surfer guy that I blog with lady friends and sometimes it gets sexual and he smiled.
He said I am not surprised with how fast your mind works you probably take them to places they don't want to go. ha ha ha

Kim said...

I want to hold out having my heart fall about CH until it officially announced, I love that woman.

Sabrizzle said...

I'll just be glad when that test is over, it's my hardest final. We haven't really talked about a bunch of stuff that's going to be on the test but thankfully my prof gave us a study guide so it will be okay.

Kim said...

sorry for the typos, I promised myself I would slow down.
Slow down, jovie, slow down.

Ellie yes, I didn't make it to Monday I missed you all so much but I did make it until late in the afternoon Sunday! Yeah!!!

Kim said...

I can discipline myself with crack.
I can discipline myself with crack.
I can discipline myself with crack.

Ellie said...

Jov--Yes, it was fun..it's ALWAYS fun, here.that's why I let the rest of my life go to hell in a handbadket!! LOL

Oh, and I like your avatar. That movie's going to be awesome.

Dani--I can't see why they would change principle players, since they've now been established in the minds of the fans. It's like the second Darren on Bewitched...
Just can't understand, unless the originals are signed for something else and they can't fit it in their schedules.

Sabrizzle said...

LOL Jov!

Kim said...

Sabrizzle I think even though I haven't given birth before, to make it like childbirth.
But please let's not get off topic with childbirth when I type that word, like breastfeeding the other night, when I asked Rob if he was breastfeed.;)

Meaning to have something wonderful you have to go through rough stuff first.
So to have the baby you have to go through childbirth, but then you have a baby in the end and it's all worth it, sweetie.

Ellie said...

*handbasket

Sabrizzle said...

Yeah, that's why I'm doing this. I know I can't get a job I want without a degree.

Kim said...

Thanks Ellie for the avatar compliment.
I know it's not sexy of Rob, but for me this is spells sex!
Rob opening a book and reading that is one of the sexiest things he does, it works for me, big time.
Not that other things don't also.

Kim said...

I was saddened by the deadlinehollywooddaily article that it stated that she was difficult.
CH, difficult?
I have heard it was a very difficult shot but she seems like such a cool lady, like it would take a lot to get her feathers ruffled.
She seems pretty laid back and so jazzed about the project.
She had a lot of challenges and yes Twilight could of been a lot better, she made a lot of flaws, but I think she did great with what she had to work with.

Kate said...

Jovie girl it's monday here so in my book you made it till monday LOL

Sabrizzle said...

I can't imagine CH being difficult, she seems so relaxed and happy all of the time.

Ellie said...

Jov--I so agree.

Kim said...

Thanks Ellie.
And I am promising all of you I am going to slow down with the typing I don't want to overpower the board and I don't want to see my avatar that much.:)

Kim said...

Big KISS to ye Kate for saying that, sweetie.

I am just so happy I haven't been on for almost two days!
Yeah!
Then I see Dana's avatar when I am typing and I am especially proud of myself because how did I resist looking at him in Dana's avatar?
I am made of steel.

Jenny said...

I think they call her difficult because she is eccentric, by their standards, and she makes demands. People keep talking about Harry Potter movies, in comparison, but to me, HP movies are all snooze. nothing edgy or different or flawed there, just boring CGI.

Kim said...

I meant difficult shoot. Not shot.

I'll be right back surfer guy got out of the shower from us surfing and he's running for In & Out because I don't want to go.
If I don't respond just know it's for a reason I would never just drop you.

DirtyD said...

Jov- my ears were ringing. I knew you were talking about my avatar.

Evening everyone :)

Poor CH. I thought she did a pretty good job. It will be interesting to see who they pick to replace her if these rumors are true.

Anonymous said...

I agree she seemed cool

Didn't several of the cast join up because of CH? I know Rob stated a few times he wanted to work with her. I think Kristen & Nikki did too?

In an interview from the london Premiere wasn't Rob was asked about Catherine and he said he thought she would be coming back. I'm sure i remember hearing that somewhere

Katie xxx

Dani said...

Thanks for the love Jovie! I would go gay for some women out there I must say I have a few crushes.

Ahhhhh oh forgot that the article also said something about them possibly filming NM and Eclipse back to back. That would be a good move to me cause Rob is aging as we speak, he already looks different than 6 mos ago.

And they would also be in my city for an extended period of time! Yay perhaps my Rob/Jackson dark alley manwich is a possibility afterall. A girl can hope.

DirtyD said...

Dani- "manwich" I've said many times that i would most definately enjoy a Rob/Me/Jackson sandwich.

Kim said...

Hi Dana! So happy you're here love.

And Dani, I so agree with you on the back to back, I think Rob might like that also, because he is going to keep looking older and men change alot in their early twenties.

Also, I would send a photo of me but I don't want family members to know it's me, if the read my comments they might thou I've revealed so much already.

Right now I'm listening to Tom Waits singing "Hold On"
I am so in love with that song.
That man has so much soul.
Yesterday I was getting a latte at Starbucks and one of his songs came on and my legs just almost feel out from under me that man's singing makes want to write so badly.
Surfer guy left now for I & O, I can talk freely.

Kim said...

I am so glad you husband gets to kiss those lips Dani.

Sabrizzle said...

Jackson is rather tasty.

Kim said...

This is a really good winter song, also.

I can just imagine Rob and I slow dancing to this song in my living room and then he starts kissing me.

I'll save all this for later. The imagining moves Rob does stuff.

Kate said...

No wonder ROb looks different from 6 months ago lok at how they've been working him. If i'd been on the go that much I'd have aged 3 years!!

Kim said...

I had an idea we could all send Rob a vintage t shirt for Christmas from us here at Robsessed.

I saw five yesterday that were my favorites,
I'll save my fav for last;)

First one said:

"Well Read"

"Nobody's Perfek"

"On humb or two?"
showed camels

"The Reports of my death have been greatly exageratted."
(which I thought was good for Rob with how he exagerates from time to time and there was a stupid rumor he died.
If he ever does you guys will have to commit me.)

My fav:
"100% Orgasmic"

Kim said...

Oh and:
"Voulex vous coucher avec moi ce soir"

That one I would def get for him personally from me.

Kim said...

French for:

You want to sleep with me tonight?

You guys seriously need to go to you tube and put Tom Wait's "Hold On" one it's good a good one while we're waiting.

Dani said...

Jovie we must see a "you" avitar at some point. Man up and put one up.

Sabrizzle said...

Oh that's an awesome idea Jov! I have the address for his London and LA agents if needed.

DirtyD said...

Jov- I agree with Dani. Put one up. It will be nice to see who I've been chatting with every night.

Kim said...

Thanks Sabrizzle.
Dani, I look like Blake Lively with a better mouth.
Just picture that.
Except I was a toehead and when you get older your hair gets darker, my hair color is like Rob's color, except I get highlights
It's kind of long down to the middle of my back and I'm 5'9"
I'm 27 and single
If I put up my photo my family will track me down
I have one in intelligence and he is a computer whiz,
I get scared.
I haven't told anyone about my Robosssesion except you guys and surfer guy and he just thinks I think he's cute.;)

Kim said...

Plus I've gotten very sexual here and it's all on record, I could go erase all my comments.

Kate said...

Brilliant Idea Jov, now which one would he be most lightly to wear do you think???

DirtyD said...

Jov- just put up a picture for one comment, leave the comment up for 5 or so minutes and then erase it.

Sabrizzle said...

Here are his addresses if needed:
Robert's U.K. agency's address:

Robert Pattinson
c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd.
Haymarket House
5th Floor, 28-29
Haymarket
London
SW1Y 4SP
England

Robert's USA agency's address:

Robert Pattinson
c/o Endeavor Agency
Stephanie Ritz
9601 Wilshire Blvd. Floor 3
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
USA

Sabrizzle said...

Jov, I agree with Dana's idea.

Kim said...

I have kissable lips also, I've been told, but I never believe men
I have Scottish ancestry and I wear a size 8 shoe, is that good enough?
My lips are nice like yours and I've had braces, I've been told I have a really nice smile, when I rwent to the dentist they had a free whitening with a new patient and they said I could only go one shade whiter on the scale. and I have one dimple.
I have a c cup and long legs,
I'm a knock out. I can't even go into a bar, because I just get hit on.;)
I will not treat Rob like meat because I know how it feels.
lmao

DirtyD said...

That would be funny if we pooled our resources and sent Rob a bunch of shirts, and perhaps some new black jeans with golden zippers.

Kate said...

Right Ladies it 1am and I've been making Christmas cards all evening and I swear at this stage I just want CHristmas to be over!!!!
This place really gets buzzing when it's time for me to leave and there's no point in me trying to saty up till ye finish (judging from last nights performance) i'd have to pull an all nighter!!
So night night ladies, more Rob talk tomorrow!!
We'll probaby have some news from Paris, yipppee!

Kim said...

I think he'd wear
100% orgasmic.
I love that one.
I want to see him wearing that one so much with a wide grin on his handsome, joy bringing, face.

DirtyD said...

Night Kate. Get some rest and we'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sabrizzle said...

Goodnight Kate!

Kim said...

Here is for ahead of time for Paris
just for you ladies because you are so wonderful:

Je veux faire l'amour doux pour vous a Paris.

Kim said...

I want to make sweet love to you in Paris.

Kim said...

Nite Kate, sweet dreams, sweetie.

Kim said...

Etre sur
Be Safe

Kate said...

Thanks Ladies.
Good luck tomorrow Sabrizzle with your PR final! ;-)

Kim said...

adieu
I promised Goz I wouldn't do one word posts and treat this blog like an IM

Ellie said...

Nit-nite, kate Sweet rob dreams!

I'm back and forth while getting dinner ready. So much to read that I don't write. I like the tee idea, (100% orgasmic).

GOF is on now (Disney Fam channel)
Rob looks like such a young babe! Forgot how young he was...
But a total turn-on.(He was over
18, right? LOL)

DirtyD said...

Oui Jov, beaucoup l'amore!

Sabrizzle said...

Thanks Kate! Sweet Robfilled dreams to you!

DirtyD said...

Ellie- thanks for the GOF heads up. I just turned it on.

Kim said...

Okay Ellie, I'll slow down.
I promise.

Sabrizzle said...

I'm supposed to get GOF from Netflix tomorrow!

Sabrizzle said...

We're still waiting on that pic Jov.

DirtyD said...

Just saw Rob. He looks so young! But it was 3 yrs. ago.

Kim said...

Dana,
L'amour toute la nut!
all night love

in answer to
Dana saying
yes much, love in French

Kim said...

Okay, I'll be right back, surfer guy is back.

I'll check later.
If macaroni(Jules) comes on tell her I'm looking for her.

Kim said...

Sabrizzle, I just read your comment I'll try after dinner and then I'll take it right off okay?

Kim said...

chow,
Don't kill me Goz

Sabrizzle said...

Ok Jov, enjoy dinner. Hopefully I won't miss it because I need to get some food soon, also.

moviegirl said...

Loving all the French ladies...

I'm in the mood for GOF too. Thanks for the idea. Off to put in dvd.

DirtyD said...

Mmmmm food. I just finished making homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. So good. Unfortunately though I now have to clean up my kitchen, ugh! Be back in a few.

Sabrizzle said...

I'm going to go grab some dinner from the cafeteria (ick!). I'll be back soon.

moviegirl said...

From www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com:
UPDATE: Summit Entertainment Co-Chairman/CEO Rob Friedman just phoned me to say: "Catherine and Summit have agreed to part ways on the sequel because our visions are different." (Keep refreshing for latest news...)

Dani said...

Okay so apparently it has been confirmed. No CH in NM....sad times.

La Stella said...

Aow, that sucks.. I wish this change is for the best.

Trixie said...

Hi everyone,

If CH and Summit are parting ways because of their visions are different, I'm nervous for NM. Twilight wasn't perfect, but I felt that CH was committed to staying true to the feel of the book. I'm not convinced that Summit cares about keeing to SM's story.

DirtyD said...

Wow, Summit better get someone that does a good job or they are going to have so rabid, angry fans on their hands. Hopefully he/she will be as passionate about the story as CH is.

Sabrizzle said...

Okay, I'm back. That totally stinks that Catherine isn't going to direct NM. I'm really worried that they are going to get someone who doesn't care about the books and just wants to make money.

Trixie said...

Sabrizzle - my thought exactly! I wonder what Rob and Kristen think about this...

Sabrizzle said...

I don't think they will be too happy about it since Catherine was one of the major reasons they signed on to do the movies.

Amy said...

WELL I'M LATE TO THE PARTY!!!

Holy, I leave for a few hours and all this goes down...

DirtyD said...

Hi Amy.

DirtyD said...

"Summit’s targeted end of 2009 or early 2010 release of the film, New Moon, does not work with Ms. Hardwicke’s required prep time to bring her vision of the film to the big screen."


It's funny that this is the statement Summit released. Didn't CH just say in an interview that she was hoping to have it done by late 2009 or early 2010? I call bullshit.
