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.

    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.

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

  3. 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.

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

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

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

    Bye Dani

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

  8. 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! :)

  9. 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....

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

    ReplyDelete
  11. Which pics are you obsessing over Jules?

    ReplyDelete
  12. 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!

  13. 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....

    ReplyDelete
  14. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  16. 2270! OMG where did you get that many?

    ReplyDelete
  17. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  21. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  24. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  26. P.s Dani your new pic is adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  29. 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

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  33. 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.

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

    I am saddened by the news.

  35. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  36. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  37. 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!

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

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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!).

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Dani--Love you too, sweetheart.

    ReplyDelete
  43. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  46. 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!!!

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

    ReplyDelete
  48. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  51. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  52. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  55. 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.:)

    ReplyDelete
  56. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  57. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 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

  61. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  63. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  65. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  66. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. 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"

    ReplyDelete
  68. Oh and:
    "Voulex vous coucher avec moi ce soir"

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

    ReplyDelete
  69. 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.

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  73. 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.;)

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

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

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

  78. 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

    ReplyDelete
  79. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  80. 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!!!!

    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

  99. Loving all the French ladies...

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

  102. 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...)

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  105. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  106. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  107. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  109. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  110. WELL I'M LATE TO THE PARTY!!!

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

    ReplyDelete
  111. "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.
