It must be my year...the zygote keeps popping up in scans.
And NO ONE loves Zygote Rob more than me! Tis true...and I don't feel badly about it at all. I know I may rot one day for my affections for Zygote but for the time being...I REJOICE!!!
Gozde's note: The confirmation of the said "cat fight" between Kristen and Nikki came from a couple of fans that spotted them at the 100 Monkeys concert last night in Vancouver. Apparently:
"Kristen and Nikki come up and dance with us. After a while they show concern for Taylor and make him come up too"
I don't know about you but this sounds to me like they had a "dance off" for Rob and they were pulling Taycob for support :)
For more on the fan encounter and pictures check out TwiCrackAddict :))
Kristen says: I got an emial today from the Princess Cinemas in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.Little Ashes will be opening there on June 26, 2009.
Hey everyone! Today I had the wonderful opportunity to briefly talk to Hugh Jackman in Rome. He was here to promote and do a press conference for the upcoming 'X-Men - The Origins: Wolverine' and I couldn't miss the chance to ask him about his karaoke night in Tokyo.
When I told him that I knew about that night he looked kinda surprised, but then he nicely answered that Robert Pattinson is "a really good singer".
The video is pretty long, it's just Hugh and photographers at first {don't mind the screaming}.. Check out question & answer @ 1:47!
Thanks to Kate and Jen from the Twilight Times for the tip :)
I got some emails saying there were new pics of Rob in the i-D Magazine. I clicked on the links and didn't post because the obsessive in me had to find where I saw them before. Well they were Cosmo Girl Outtakes Dani posted in November :)) The photographer Matt Jones must have sold them to i-D magazine. So here is the full set for your enjoyment...
Thanks to Kate for the link to these fantastic Rob shots.
You guys know my motto about Rob and his "girlfriend" (if/when she exists) :
"If he is not shagging me I don't care who he shags".
Last week I said adopt the motto and you'll be happier. Well UnintendedChoice from Letters To Rob doesn't agree with me (GASP!) and has a rebuttal post. To sum it up she says:
"Rob, if you’re not with me, then you’re Poundin’ Spam"
Go and read the whole thing HERE then let me know what you think :))
P.S.: Letters to Rob is a sarcastic, fun, out there site. They are writing letters to Rob for cryin' out loud. They are smart and funny as hell. Open your humor doors and let the fun flow in :))
We told you about The Beat 94.5's Holly Conway meeting Rob. Well she talked about it on her show yesterday and she is so cute :) This is one of the best encounter stories ever and it once again solidifies my resolve on NEVER telling Rob I run this blog if I ever accidentally on purpose run into him ;)
There is an "awwwww!" moment when he talks about people analyzing every little look he has on his face. As I keep saying not everyone is perfect like me and can give open eye, awesome pictures all the time. His eyes closed might not mean he is stoned/drunk. Shocker, I know! :)
Thanks to everyone that sent me this link, too many to name ;)
P.S.: I'm lost in my inbox, 2000 unread as of now. It might take me till 2010 to get back to you. sorry :(
Wow, that was a long title for a blog post huh? Live Journal community Pattinson_Music has an exclusive interview with How To Be writer/director Oliver Irving and Composer Joe Hastings. Here are the parts about to Rob and you can read the rest on Pattinson_Music.
3. How many people auditioned for the role of Art? What was it about Robert Pattinson that got him the role?
Oliver Irving: We did auditions for this for well over a year in bursts. I feel like I must have seen every young male actor in London! I was looking for someone who would work well with the others actors I had in place to play Art’s friends. These were non-actors whose approach had been tailored while we made home movies over the years, so the actor for Art needed not to seem like he had been to drama school. Rob has said that at the time he was thinking of giving up acting and pursuing music as he was unhappy with roles he was getting offered – But pretty much straight away I knew he was right for the part. He had a sort of playful energy perhaps even naivety which he brought to the part and he really seemed to understand the characters.
5. Can you explain the process of creating the songs for the film? Were they written before filming and recorded afterwards?
Oliver Irving: The songs that art plays in the film where written by Me and Joe as we were writing the script – so there right from the start. We thought it would be fun to write these kind of clumsy songs that lay out Art’s mind state, but that contain a great little hook or melody that could be expanded to make up the score of the film…
Joe Hastings: Yes, we had songs in place for Art by late 2005 and the songs and incidental music developed as the screenplay progressed. We wrote Art’s songs together and I went away and tried to develop incidental music from Art’s ‘primitive’ tracks. The idea was to give the film a progressive aspect; for the music to shift with Art’s various moods through the film. We wanted the music to have a thematic progression and follow a melodic sensibility, and hopefully add to the overall cohesion. It was a challenge to develop distinctive arrangements that at the same time were an extension of his music.
Oliver Irving: we were adamant that they be recorded live on set as well and not re-recorded afterwards – that just sounds so phony. All the music in the film was done this way.
Joe Hastings: It was important that Rob was heard playing the tracks to add to the believability of his character, we wanted the songs to feel like ‘his’ and Rob really pulled this off.
7. What did Rob bring to the role of Art, musically speaking? Did he have any input on the composition of the songs and what guitars did Rob play during the film?
Oliver Irving: There is a great ‘jam session’ sequence where Ronny is playing his electronic stuff and Art is strumming away soulfully on the guitar while Nikki is singing away about random things. It was very funny to shoot and painful to watch!
Joe Hastings: Rob brought a kind of ownership to the music. Before the part was cast I was unsure as to whether someone could make the tracks seem real. I think Rob genuinely enjoyed playing the songs.
Rob played a battered old nylon string acoustic which Oliver ‘acquired’ from a school, we found a piece of rope in the studios we used as a set and decided that it would make the perfect guitar strap for Art. For the final sequence we deliberately chose a flashy if slightly tacky Guitar made by ‘Ovation’. It was one of those bowl backed fiber glass types that I hate, they’re the nouveau riche’s guitar of choice.
9. Lastly, since our community is for the appreciation of Rob’s music, we would love to see him continue doing music. What do you think of Rob’s musician side? Would you like to see more from him, musically?
Oliver Irving: Yes definitely – it is clearly something he really loves.
Joe Hastings: Rob is a lot better than the songs he performs in the film suggest, it’s very hard to play down your abilities in the way that Rob did so excellently in character as Art.
Entertainment Weekly has a piece about Bobby Long. For those of you living under a rock: Bobby is Rob's long time friend and the co-writer of Let Me Sign. Check out his music, he is really soulful.
I am posting this because he talks a bit about Rob, Twilight premiere and McLovin': 3 things I adore :)
Friendship with Twilight dreamboat Robert Pattinson has its privileges. Twenty-two-year-old singer-songwriter Bobby Long met the then-struggling actor a while back at the popular London open-mic Up All Night, and the pair quickly became close; since then, the 2008 release of the film soundtrack's spare, gravelly ballad "Let Me Sign," sung by Pattinson and penned by Long and friend Marcus Foster, has suddenly catapulted Long into a whole new world of Twi-fans and frenzied media attention.
On a visit today to EW's offices, the lanky, swoopy-haired Brit talked to us about his upcoming American tour dates, and the hazards of ancillary -- if still white-hot -- fame. "Rob gets it 99 million percent more," Long admits, "but it's still mad. He and I went to the premiere in London together, and he was just getting molested right and left. For me, it's clearly not as extreme, but it's still amazing to watch. And you know," he adds with a laugh, "there was free booze everywhere, so we got quite drunk and I just kept bothering the guy from Superbad, McLovin'. He was very nice about it." (Gozde: I really want to get drunk with these guys! I know... I'll get in line...:))
Keep reading about Bobby's shows in New York and his US tour HERE.
We are on Day 7 of our Official Robsessed Little Ashes Movement: Yes We Can! ;)
Keep Calling!
First check Little Ashes Website to see if the movie is playing at a nearby theater(I also added them to the list below). If it's not showing then leave the name and number of your local art movie theater and I will update this post with numbers to call so we can have a focused assault on their phone lines to request Little Ashes.
Just call your local theater and ask them if they will be showing Little Ashes, if they say no then politely ask them to look into it since it's a great movie with Robert Pattinson and you and tons of other people would really love to see it. It's a Regents Releasing :)
