Thank you!

We'd like to thank YOU for your support and wish them good luck with the DVD. If the product is good we are sure it will sell itself.
Robert Pattinson Has Been Writing a BUNCH of New Tunes
Brian Truitt, a writer for USA weekend, interviewed Rob. I am posting the whole thing here but please show them some love by clicking the source at the bottom :)
For Robert Pattinson, maintaining a vampiric six-pack in the "Twilight" movies is harder than it looks. "I think I've probably reached the peak of my conditioning," the British actor says. "I've had to stop going to the gym now."
It's not the ab crunches that are getting him down these days - it's the nonstop fight sequences during the Canadian filming of "Eclipse," the third movie in the series based on Stephenie Meyer's uber-popular book series. But before that comes out next year, Twilighters, twi-hards and everybody in between will be able to see Pattinson, as Edward Cullen, come to undead life on screen in "Twilight: New Moon," in theaters Nov. 20.
Last year's "Twilight" set up the love affair of vampire Edward and his human muse, the shy Bella (Kristen Stewart), while in "New Moon," they become part of a love triangle with the hunky werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner).
Pattinson says he's tried to reinvent Edward, he of the golden eyes and James Dean charisma, each time around. Dracula he's not. For one, Edward has no problem taking a walk during daylight hours - the sunlight actually makes his skin sparkle, a fact that has vampire purists baring their fangs.
Pattinson doesn't see the big deal. "They're fictional creations. They can be pretty much whatever," he explains. "I don't really feel like I'm part of the vampire tradition, really. It almost abandons every convention, especially image-wise. They're a little pale - it's kind of the whole point in the movie where they don't look spectacularly different from everyday humans."
The millions of "Twilight" fans haven't had a problem with it either. Pattinson, 23, has had to roll with massive media attention in the last year and a half, when teenage girls started putting posters of him on their walls and gossip magazine editors began showcasing him on their covers. When he was filming "New Moon" earlier this year, he says, "I was pretty comfortable with everything. And then the level of fame and fervency of the fans, it exponentially increased over the last four months."
Today, Pattinson says there are fans and paparazzi buzzing around the set constantly, and there are tours that take people to restaurants that cast members frequent.

Robert Pattinson MAY be appearing on the Jonathan Ross Show (UK)
IrishTwiSisters contacted Jonathan Ross (BBC) to ask about Rob appearing on his show and here's what he said
From IrishTwiSisters :
So, thru twitter I DM'd (Direct Message) Jonathan Ross of the BBC show 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' (UK) a few weeks ago. I told him some of the Twilight cast would be in London on the 11th of November for a Twi Fan event - details of which still have not been released by E1 entertainment. I asked Jonathan if any of the cast would be appearing on his show to promote the release of New Moon (show recorded on 12th Nov). Jonathan very kindly responded that RP may be appearing.
Tonight in response to my tweet that he should dress up as 'Edward Cullen' for Halloween (LOL), it appears he did confirm RP's appearance....
Kate: I would be so happy if this is true because it would be a hilarious interview. I guess we'll just have to watch and see what happens!

Ashley Greene is Team Taycob (Booohooo!)
Twilight Review had the chance to interview Ashley Greene. Here are the parts about Robert Pattinson and you can read the rest over at their site.
TSR.com: Are you Team Edward or team Jacob?
Ashley Greene: Ughhhh… harsh. I really really adore Rob and Edward’s awesome, but I’m Team Jacob. Is just… You gotta love Taylor, he plays an amazing Jacob, so… my heart belongs to him. Hahaha!
TSR.com: We know that a lot of acting on a TV or movie is waiting. Do you have one particular activity you like to do while waiting?AG: Call my mom. Or any of my friends. Or talk to my friends thru AIM. Actually, I talk. To everyone. Oh! And annoy Rob. That’s my favorite thing to do.
TSR.com: Also it was obvious that the cast seem to be very tight. Do you guys have fun behind the scenes or is it a fairly serious atmosphere? Do you have any behind the scenes stories you’d like to share?
AG: We’re all like brothers and sisters, so we’re having fun all the time. Funny stories? Well, there’s a lot. But one funny thing we’re always doing with Kellan, Jack and Xavier is annoy Rob singing Katy Perry or Miley’s songs. We suck as singers, so we freak him out terribly.
Gozde:
1. Katy Perry is crying somewhere for being put in the same category as Miley... Well Katy, what do you expect? Ashley doesn't have very good taste! She is team Taycob! :) Just kidding....Kinda
2.What's up with all TwiStars claiming they are like brothers and sisters? Is it like an ancient Greek drama? I'd like to think so :)
3. I'd like to see annoyed Rob :)

Breaking News: About 'Breaking Dawn'
EXCLUSIVE: BREAKING NEWS ABOUT “BREAKING DAWN”
This below from GOSSIPCOP
2:58 pm, October 11th, 2009
EXCLUSIVE:
There have been lots of questions about “Breaking Dawn,” including when will production start, where will it be shot, who will be cast as the daughter of Robert Pattinson’s Edward and Kristen Stewart’s Bella, and who will direct the fourth “Twilight” film?
With all the enthusiasm for the release of “New Moon” — just a little more than a month away — as well as the tremendous interest in the filming of “Eclipse,” “Breaking Dawn” should seem a no-brainer.
However, despite reports that “Breaking Dawn” has been greenlit and production will begin in September 2010, Gossip Cop can report exclusively that, as of now, nothing is official.
A rep for Summit tells Gossip Cop exclusively, “The film has not been greenlit – and thus no decisions about the film’s shooting location, start date, the director, etc… have been made.”
We (Robsessed) will post any more updates on 'Breaking Dawn' news as we see it come out.
Thanks to rpattzgirl for sending us the link to the info above.
“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” Official Production & Casting Updates
It’s official! (Kate: The source for this is the one who said "Breaking Dawn" was going to be made into two movies. So when he says "official!" we take it with a grain of salt.) “THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN” production has been green lit and I now have the latest information. The fourth saga in the Twilight Series is going back to it’s roots and will be filmed back in Portland, OR. Principal photography will not begin until September, 2010

Striking the Balance: Terror, Desire & Robert Pattinson
D. MacDowell Blue penned a great article about Robert Pattinson and his place in the vampire movie's genre. It is a GREAT read. Thanks to RobPattzNews for finding it :)
When a sound version of Dracula finally made it to celluloid, the first such movie to feature a real (as opposed to pretend) vampire, a choice faced the filmmakers. How to portray the vampire? Taking their cue from the Balderston-Dean play, they decided the title character would ooze sinister charm—an archetype that owes far more to Polidori’s much-earlier work The Vampire than to Bram Stoker’s novel. Actors considered for the lead included Lon Chaney (ironically enough, the great silent star died of throat cancer first) Conrad Veidt and Frederick March, but in the end the role went to tall, thin and suave Bela Lugosi.
Flash forward seven decades or so. Another major studio prepares to adapt another vampire novel to the screen. Herein the choice is more subtle. The male lead in Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight is written as handsome, gallant (if moody) and highly ethical.
A more pressing question is that of casting. Who shall play Edward? Fan favorites included Orlando Bloom, Tom Wellin and Hayden Christensen. But in the end the role went to Robert Pattinson—up until then best known for portraying the doomed nice guy Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Initially (and this is sometimes hard to credit now) fans reacted badly to the news. They soon changed their minds for the most part, especially once the teasers and trailers began showing. One might even call this evidence that sometimes professional casting directors and filmmakers actually do know more about how to do their jobs than the average moviegoer (although there remains a die-hard group of fans who still reject Pattinson in the role).

New Robert Pattinson 'Haunted Airman' Still

Robert Pattinson: Interview With A Vampire
From the Sydney Morning Herald:
Ask Robert Pattinson how he's handling the global hysteria that now surrounds him and he says: "All right, I hope." Then he runs his hand through that tousled mop of his (a sign that he's anxious) and adds: "It's still sort of new."
It's almost 12 months since the first Twilight film was unleashed on the world. Twelve months since we clapped eyes on the sensitive, tortured and fiercely handsome vampire named Edward Cullen from Stephenie Meyer's massively popular novels. Twelve months since Pattinson, the 23-year-old British actor who plays the red-blooded teenage vamp, became an international heart-throb.
One minute he has a bit part in two Harry Potter films (he played Cedric Diggory in The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix). The next he's the object of every teenage girl's affections. They're screaming right now outside his hotel room. He's in France to promote The Twilight Saga: New Moon , the follow-up to Twilight (there are four novels in all). Whenever he goes near the window to smoke, a crescendo of noise erupts from the street below.
"To be honest, I still don't really understand what's going on," he says. "Like yesterday, I was having lunch down the road. We were in this place for a couple of hours and suddenly there was like 400 people outside on the street. It was just so nuts and it's like that all the time now."
If Pattinson hasn't come to grips with the global hysteria by now, how will he cope when New Moon is released next month?
"When the second one comes out, then I'll see how I am. Mostly I can ignore things to quite a big extent and kind of pretend they're not really happening," he says, sounding eerily calm.
"I just don't take any of it seriously. It's just a job and while it's a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can't get a date."
Kristen Stewart Talks to InStyle About The "Robert Pattinson Affair" Rumors
Keely scanned and translated the October 2009 Issue of InStyle Germany for us. It's on stands now, go and buy your copy :)
We contacted the author of the article, Andreas Renner to learn when this interview was conducted. He told us he talked to Kristen in July at Comic Con and in Los Angeles...
We are just posting the article, don't shoot us, the messenger :)
HQ Scans:
The rumors persist that you have an affair with your twilight castmate Robert Pattinson.
We get on well and became great friends while shooting. But beside Robert I found other new friends on the Twilight-Set, too. A lot of people don´t understand, that women and men actually can be just friends, without concerning a sexual connection.
There is nothing more about Rob in the interview but you can read the whole thing after the cut to learn more about Kristen. It is a great read.
Thanks Keely! :)

News about Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me"
Gossip cop once again looked into the rumours to clear up the panic. Please don't post any spoilers in the comments, some people don't want to know what is in the script so don't spoil it for them! Thanks
From Gossip Cop
Gossip Cop on Rumors Robert Pattinson Film Changed End
Rumors spread online today that Summit Entertainment has elected to change the ending to Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film, “Remember Me.” Gossip Cop does not want to spoil any plot points. But since the alleged alteration was lighting up message boards, we looked into it and asked a source inside Summit for comment.
We were assured by a rep that claims of a major change are “absolutely not true.”
If rumors persist and are further substantiated, we will do our best to clear up any confusion.
HQ TU Magazine Scans & Interview w/ Robert Pattinson
We attended the Cannes Film Festival when we were told we were going to interview the It Vampire. Yes, Robert Pattinson! After a very hectic year, he took the time to walk the red carpets and enjoy the glamour of the rold’s most famous Film Festival. When we arrived to the place where the interview would take place, we still could not believe we were going to talk to him. Outside his hotel there were thousands of fans waiting for him. He’s the guy of the moment and the first thing he tells us when we meet him is that he still can’t believe this is happening to him. According to our chat, he considers himself a normal guy and he swears he has a very boring life. So on top of being increadibly handsome, this guy is adorable and down to earth. How can you not fall in love with him?
Robert, how do you feel today that so many girls around the world dream about you?
Honestly, I think it’s all part of the illusion of filmmaking. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to be so famous. It all comes down to those five minutes of emotions that you give to people and that’s nice to feel. It’s part of the magic and everything that comes from making movies.
The expectations, the dreams, the fantasies; it’s all an illusion. I’m a very normal guy, I can promise you that.
Do you enjoy the glamour of this profession, walking down red carpets?
Yes, I love traveling all over the world and being at a Festival like Cannes. Having those five minutes of Glamour and excitement is amazing, as long as I can have my normal life back. Those are the moments that you can only have making movies and you have to enjoy them. But the best part of it is when you go home (laughs).
What has been the most difficult part of being so famous?
Facing crowds. I’m very shy. The fact that I have to walk down the strees and knwoing that people will recognize me and scream my name is something that makes me a bit paranoid. I can’t be anywhere for over 20 minutes, because with the Internet and how fast news travel, I become surrounded by paparazzi and fans.
Tell us the truth, has being famous helped you get more girls?
(laughs) Yes and no. At first, girls can feel attracted to that, but then they realise you’re a real human being, with flaws and qualities, and there can be a certain disappointment. Many times girls find out that everything about you was just a fantasy. I think, in the end, I’m just like any other guy. I can’t be what everybody else wants me to be, I’m just me. And you can find many girls that have preconceived ideas of you, or imaginary things and that can be a problem, because when people find out you’re not really like that, they are disappointed. I have to confess that before making this movie I believed that the being famous could help me get more girls, but then I realized that is not as easy as I thought it was. In the end, if you like a girl, you still have to work hard at winning her over! (laughs)
What other things did you have to learn?
That I have to be very careful with what I say and the information I share. I’ve learned not to share too much. But that’s a life lesson that anyone can learn from. You have to think things through before you open your mouth.
Besides being an actor, what’s your dream job?
Being a pianist. Music fascinates me, I love it. It’s my passion. And I think I could’ve been very happy with being close to a piano and make a living out of it.
Are you aware that this is the moment in which your life is going to change forever? Thanks to this saga you’ll get any role you want.
I know, but sometimes I try not to think too much about it because it scares me to death. I feel that things are happening so fast and I have to constantly choose without having any time to analyze, because if I do, I might miss my chance to do it. You can’t be an actor who can afford to wait five years to do his next movie if he feels like it. You have to find the best job for you in the next months, otherwise, the industry and the people will forget very quickly about you. So you make a comitment to stay eficient and quick when you’re going to choose what’s next. When you have nothing to lose, it’s great, because you just accept the challenge and try to make it work. But when you really want a long term career and build a good image, all of this becomes a very stressful thing.
Speaking of the future, what would you like that new Moon gave to your career?
I want more than the film being succesful, to have more freedom to choose other projects that I want to do later. That’s why I hope the movie does great. That’s how the industry works, and to be able to do what I like to do things need to be able to go well and succeed, right?
People talks all the time about how wonderful you are. Do you agree?
Not really (laughs). The truth is that I was refusing to audution for this role for months because after reading the book I thought it made no sense to show up, I swear! To me, who ever played Edward had to be some sort of model, with the perfect body and someone who was able to do the most physical performance. And I don’t see myself that way at all. So I thought “Fine, I’ll go to the audition, I’ll be myself, and that’s the best thing I can do”. I never thought I would get the lead.
Rob has no luck in love. He said “I’ve never really fallen in love, but I try to be a sromantic as possible. A year ago I could’ve walked up to any girl and neither would’ve been interested. I’m looking for someone with character. If I ever find her, you know what I would do? I would write her hundreds of love letters”.
Is is true that to play Edward you had to work out a lot?
Yes, but I realy started with that almost at the end of the movie. And I did it mostly to feel better about myself. I didn’t just want to have muscles and a perfect six pack, I wanted to be as healthy as possible. That shows in your attitude and in your confidence.
Are you still playing music?
Sure! I played a lot of music in London and I always remember those days when I took a ride in my car and thinking how being a musician was the coolest job in the world. I imagined myself playing in restuarants by the beach, with sunsets next to the ocean. I play the piano since I was five, so music is part of who I am.
Speaking of Edward, what do you think you have in common with him?
I don’t know. I’m very sensitive and shy. I have supernatural powers too (laughs). No, i wish I did. But I’m too normal.
What are we going to see with this new movie?
I can’t say much because it’s a secret. The idea is to surprise people and eventhough it’s based on the books, Chris Weitz gave it his touch, so you have to go see it! What I can assure you is that it will be visually stunning. chris is a genius and he loves to explore the New Moon world to the fullest. You can’t miss it. I haven’t seen it and I’m dying to see it.
Robert, how do you feel today that so many girls around the world dream about you?
Honestly, I think it’s all part of the illusion of filmmaking. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to be so famous. It all comes down to those five minutes of emotions that you give to people and that’s nice to feel. It’s part of the magic and everything that comes from making movies.

Speaking of Edward, what do you think you have in common with him?
I don’t know. I’m very sensitive and shy. I have supernatural powers too (laughs). No, i wish I did. But I’m too normal.
What are we going to see with this new movie?
I can’t say much because it’s a secret. The idea is to surprise people and eventhough it’s based on the books, Chris Weitz gave it his touch, so you have to go see it! What I can assure you is that it will be visually stunning. chris is a genius and he loves to explore the New Moon world to the fullest. You can’t miss it. I haven’t seen it and I’m dying to see it.
