Camilla Belle yaps about Robbert Pattinson's non-media training


According to people.com:

Was there more to Twilight than meets the eye? Camilla Belle certainly thinks so.

Belle says that Robert Pattinson, who portrayed the sexy vampire lead in the hit film opened up to her about the stresses of required "media training."

"My friend Rob, for that whole Twilight nonsense, the studio was having them take all these classes," the 22-year-old actress tells Nylon magazine in its February issue. "It was the most frustrating thing in the world because they want you to speak like someone else, not yourself. It's so silly. And I would be frustrated, too." (Gozde: yeah we all LOVE Rob for being so NOT media trained but it is not your place to talk about it! Sorry this just irked me)(I had to update this post because Access Hollywood made this comment about Camilla's yapping : We’re betting if she had been cast in the massively successful vampire series, she would have been sitting front and center in class. Haha, exactly!)

The outspoken actress also has a strong opinion about the action film 10,000 BC, which she starred in last year and felt wasn't enough of an acting challenge. "I felt like a puppet … You have to approach it [as], 'This isn't an acting piece, it's a business choice." (Gozde: yeah the movie sucked and Camille's acting reminded me of a fish with really well trimmed eyebrows)

As for her next director, Bruce Willis, in the upcoming Three Stories About Joan, she tells the magazine, "I was really surprised. He's very passionate about the actors."

In addition to her blossoming movie career – she's also in PUSH and When a Stranger Calls – Belle says she's got a place in Columbia's freshman class when she's ready to go. "I made the decision to focus on work, and take advantage of this time. But school is there, and I think the most important thing is to continue learning."

Just as long as there's no brainwashing.

BAH! 10,000 BC was perhaps one of the worst films ever made. Apart from all the CGI-bullshit, her acting sucked ACE!

1) Camilla Belle sucks as an actress.

2) She should STFU about Robert.

3) She's just name dropping.

Jizz! I hate when these so called Rob´s friends start talking about him, what he likes/hates/fear!
Nikki uses to do that and now Camilla too. Sam is the only I respect for his comments (as would do if TomStu, Bobby or Marcus said something, they friendship has being goin on for ages, and it really is that "friendship".)
And that comment was no secret, Rob sid that more than once.

Yes. I hate when his 'friends' start yapping about Rob.
I guess that is their guarantee to get mentioned, isn't it?
Throw your friend...someone who trusted you...under the bus...so you can step over him to climb on up that ladder.
BOO!

A fish with well trimmed eyebrows who needs to keep her mouth shut!

To use an old line from "Risky Business": Camilla....go to school. Learn something.....

Camilla didn't say anything that Rob hasn't already said publicly himself.

Thank goodness he doesn't cooperate with the media training stupidity.

Ms. Bonderson said...

I don't know anything about Camilla except her links to Rob and Joe Jonas...but I believe I'm getting an education here. LOL I'm quickly forming an opinion!

Where'd my comment go?

Emily said...

I don't know...I kind of feel like I should defend Camilla. It's true, she didn't say anything in that interview we haven't heard Rob say himself. Maybe a little name dropping was going on but still... No one bashes Kristen when she talks about Rob 'without his permission.' Just saying...

I don't know, I didn't have an opinion one way or the other about Camilla before and I still don't after reading this. Rob likes her and always looks happy when they're together.
I did laugh at the fish with eyebrows comment though, Goz. But I'm glad he doesn't base who he's friends with on how talented an actor they are. That would seem a tad shallow.

New here, love this site!

I think it's ridiculous that the media is willing to take any scraps they can get about Rob while he's trying to lie low. And I don't know much about this girl, but what kind of 'friend' does this to a person who, IMO, doesn't appear to be terribly comfortable with the media klieg lights that have been trained on him in the past few months? I wouldn't be terribly happy to have someone speaking for me in that way...

2. Nice spin on the reason for being in the craptastic 10,000 B.C. Interesting that others who weren't able to land the types of jobs they wanted were ready to walk away from acting. Hmmm...

Gozde said...

Emily, I had nothing against Camilla. Maybe I'm PMSing :) Kristen is his costar and people ask her about Rob. I don't think Camilla was asked about Rob and his media training, she is just trying to be seen as a serious actress by saying she is putting her education first, how she didn't like doing 10000BC (after is sucked, I assume) and name dropping Rob while trashing Twilight at the same time.

So not cool...

Emily said...

Oh I know, Goz. You're right, there is a difference between being asked about someone and name dropping, which I think Camilla was doing a bit but I guess I'm just confused as to what she said that's offending people. People calling her a "so-called friend" to Rob makes me laugh. I'm pretty sure he couldn't care less that she said in an interview that he didn't want to go to media training. Not a big deal. If she started dishing on his personal life and private things, yeah, I'd be pissed at her. I'm sure she respects Rob more than that. I think they're really good friends.

I do laugh when actors say they want to put their education first and then never do. I've never seen her in anything so I can't speak about her acting skills but if roles like 10,000 BC are all she's getting, maybe school would be a good option right now. I guess we'll see how her new movies do.

Kat said...

Never really had an opinion either way of Camilla. I don't think I've seen her in any movies and only know her from her being friends with Rob.

But.. I agree with Goz. Seems like she was name dropping a bit and really shouldn't be saying stuff like that about Summit/Twilight/Rob... it might be true (we know he ignored the media training), but it's not her business to be putting out there, especially in a magazine interview.

Anonymous said...

Sorry - I tried to set up a profile last night and got interrupted! Not by anything good. I so want to join in with you funny, obsessed ladies and spread the Rob love!!

Camilla's comments seem pretty harmless. She is staring in PUSH, a Summit Entertainment film out 2/6. I don't know if they are truly friends or not but I think their 'dates' - and her attending the Twilight premiere would have been encouraged by the studio.

I'm just jealous that she's been seen in such close proximity - and, yes, he seems happy enough about it.

Emily said...

Kathryn, I think the only reason ANY of us have heard of Camilla is because of Rob. I still had to google her after that picture of her and Rob at the Gucci party came out. I had no idea who she was.

"for that whole Twilight nonsense"

Nonsense?

FUCK YOU, BROWS!

Gozde said...

LMAO @ Allie :))

Welcome TwiHeart1 The ladies here are crazy :) You'll have a lot of fun.

As for Camilla: I finally found what irked me the most. Her saying "twilight nonsense" . Rob has always said he is proud of the movie. I didn't think it was a good movie but it was because of the director and the screenplay. Her calling it nonsense is insulting to Rob who is slated to appear in 2 more of the "nonsense" franchise.

Okay, rant over I promise :)

Emily said...

I don't think she was calling the book or the movie nonsense. I think she was referring to the ridiculous amount of promotion that the cast (mostly Rob) had to do. The Hot Topic mall tour, TRL, Tyra, hundreds of interviews being asked the same questions over and over....basically all the things that no sane person would ever subject themselves to voluntarily. That's how I interpreted it, anyway. The amount of appearances and promo Rob had to do was excessive, to say the least IMO.

Emily said...

I totally agree that Rob should be proud of the movie. Not that it's going to win any oscars or anything but he did a fantastic job. I don't think anyone else could have played Edward like he did. People can say the screenplay was cheesy and whatever but I don't think anyone can say Rob is not a crazy talented actor after seeing it.
I'm really hoping Camilla wasn't bashing the movie. I'm pretty sure she was talking about all the promo for it. That's what Rob would have used the media training for. Not for making the movie.

Anonymous said...

I have to say that I don't really dislike Camilla Bella, but she should truly take some time to think before she speaks. Maybe she didn't mean that Twilight itself is nonsense, but words are easily misconstrued when read by someone that is a die-hard fan of something, so she really should have chosen her words more carefully in my opinion.

Anonymous said...

Why doesnt she go yap about that JoBro she's been rocking the cradle with?!

And damnit, her new movie is from Summit! You'd think she'd watch her mouth!

And I hate when articles talk about celebrities getting into reputable schools! Theyre famous damnit!!! I heard Lindsey Lohan was touring Harvard yesterday!

Ok. Im done ranting. I think Ill go study for my huge Evolutionary Psychology exam tomorrow now. Fuck my life...

Emily said...

allthtsparkles - I totally agree that she should have chosen her words a little more carefully, especially given the enormous fan base Twilight has. Anything slightly negative is going to get a reaction out of people.

Gozde said...

Teehee Allie, you definitely fit in with the RobKats with all the swearing :P LMAO!

Emily, you are probably right, she was probably talking about the stupidest movie marketing campaign ever! But hey that movie marketing campaign made headlines saying this is the new way to go. Rob appearing in all those malls made everyone crazy about him and the movie is a box office smash.

And yeah Allie, the prime minister of Turkey's son went to Harvard. He had no qualifications to do so but once you have a reputable family and/or you are famous you get in. But who graduated? Julia Stiles, Natalie Portman did but not many. (by the way I heart Natalie!)

DirtyD said...

Goz- LMFAO at your comments!

Gozde said...

Reaction? What reaction? lol :))

I admit I am overly protective of Rob, Twilight and Stephenie Meyer. Don't mess with my boos!

Anonymous said...

I want to go to Columbia for law school next Fall! Is it going to happen? PRLLY NOT!!! I have all the effing credentials, but I didnt have craptastic roles in 10,000BC, Practical Magic, When a Stranger Calls, or Jurassic Park 2. Therefore, I am not up to par.

Gozde said...

Allie, she was also in Poison Ivy 2, I hear they are casting for Poison Ivy 10 these days. Give it a try :))

Emily said...

"The stupidest movie marketing campaign ever" LOL Goz.
Nonsense is an understatement for what they made poor Rob go through to promote this film. Whenever I think about all those mall appearances I just cringe. Talk about the sound you hear at the gates of hell...

Oh, I wasn't talking about a reaction anyone had here. Just in general, I bet that comment gets a reaction out of the fans. I don't like anything negative about Twilight, SM, or Rob either. Protective for sure.

Blackie said...

Gozde I just sent you the TomStu pics. Hope you get them.
I have been "listening" to you talking about FANFIC, and took note of some of the stuff you like. Can any of you girls, tell me what can I start reading?
I am also a newbie -in this blog and in fanfic as well- (shame on me??)
Referring the Camilla thing, when Rob won that Starz Award, she was there with him, good gesture to accompanied him but to pose with the award in her hand? She is a bit out of line sometimes... The movie "when a strange calls" sucks from the first minute to the end.

This is all I have to say on the comment Camilla said and our reactions to it:

Gozde said...

I guess I might be jealous I don't have eyebrows like that :)) I mean can you imagine Rob and Camilla producing a child? Unibrows galore!

Emily said...

Goz, that was my EXACT thought! What would the children look like? Waxing by the age of 1.

Laura said...

Ahhhh, yet another reason to dislike Camilla Belle.

*Sorry Camilla lovers, but she's always gotten on my nerves(even BEFORE Rob).

Lynn said...

Well, admittedly I like Big Brows McBelle....she was fantastic in Te Ballad of Jack and Rose. Okay, so she name dropped and took a bad a role in a craptastic film....but she has potential.

Allie---I agree on the celebs getting in to all the phat universities. Ever since, Jodie Foster went to Yale...it's been a fucking epidemic.

When Kstew gets accepted to Stanford...we'll know the jig is up since she admitted she still hadn't gotten her high school diploma. I bet Humboldt State would take her! LOL

Next, Rob will be going to Oxford!

Gozde said...

Hi Lynn :) I'm going to bed but I had to say Rob going to Oxford sounds so SEXY! :)

Love y'all! Good night! Olive juice and unicorns!

Lynn said...

Gozde---very sexy!I picture that robe and not much else....Rob would get an A in drinking!

Anonymous said...

I used to hate her and had no idea why lol now I have a reason...

btw I used to post as Allie but it seems there's another Allie (who seems to post/fit in more than I do lol) so now I shall be Allie2 lol :-)
