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

Rob Comes to your Restaurant and makes it "The IT Hangout"

VANCOUVER -- Until Wednesday night, Michael Bowers had never experienced the full force of the paparazzi glare - nor the unwavering determination of star-struck young women on the hunt for the world's hottest vampire.

But the manager at Glowbal Grill and Satay got a hearty taste of both when Robert Pattinson - star of the blockbuster film Twilight - showed up at the Yaletown eatery to celebrate his 23rd birthday, and thrust the restaurant into the international spotlight.

The phone rang all day Wednesday with calls from fans and celebrity media who knew that Mr. Pattinson has been frequenting Glowbal since he began shooting the film's sequel, New Moon, in Vancouver a couple of months ago.

Young women with copies of the Twilight books conveniently tucked into their purses sat in the restaurant, trying to look nonchalant as paparazzi circled outside for hours.

"They weren't fooling anybody," said Mr. Bowers, adding that many of the photographers hid their cameras and just casually strolled around the front and rear entrance of the Mainland Street grill. "It was quite comical."

Then when Mr. Pattinson's people called at around 9 p.m. to reserve a table, Mr. Bowers knew he was in for quite the night.

Shortly after arriving at the sleek, L.A.-style eatery, the vampire star graciously signed autographs and chatted with fans and allowed them to snap photos before he was led to a private table where he dined with friends and family.

But somebody reportedly sent out a message on Twitter that gave away Mr. Pattinson's location, and before long Mr. Bowers went from being a restaurant manager to a celebrity handler trying to clear a path through the crowd of adoring young women and paparazzi to a waiting taxi.

"We tried to make a decoy at the back, but we rushed him out the front and the cameras were just flashing like crazy. I couldn't see a thing," Mr. Bowers said with a laugh. "It was exciting, but I'm not used to it. I'm a small-town boy from Trenton, Ont."

Before getting into the cab, Mr. Pattinson shot a few more photos with fans - including two girls who travelled all the way from Nashville to catch a glimpse of the heartthrob and had been scouring the city for a week. "They flew up because they knew it was his birthday," Mr. Bowers said. "They were overjoyed."

But the frenzy didn't end there. Ever since that night, the restaurant has been fielding dozens of calls from entertainment reporters who want to know exactly what they ate (Kobe meatballs, lamb, steak), what they drank (champagne cocktails) and whom they were with (the New Moon cast, including co-star Kristen Stewart, and Mr. Pattinson's parents).

And now the restaurant's name is popping up on celebrity websites around the globe, including Perez Hilton, Us Weekly and People.

"We're becoming very well known," said Glowbal VIP concierge and publicist Rochelle Clarke, whose phone began ringing at 7 a.m. Thursday and hasn't stopped. "It's definitely got the buzz around the city at the moment."
