Another comment on an image (no Rob): I see a bruise forming from #queenshanshan because Robert Pattinson helped me out tonight!!! Such a gentleman!!!#RobertPattinson#VeryHandsom!!!

Excerpt from E!:
Robert Pattinson was certainly in a good mood at tonight's GO GO Gala in L.A.! The hunky Twilight actor arrived with pals (sans rumored love interest Dylan Penn) and looked super handsome in a dark blue suit at the charity event, which works to improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children around the world. Pattinson grabbed a drink at the bar before chatting with friends during cocktail hour. R.Pattz was smiley and chatty with a group of friends, acting super talkative and in a great mood while mingling and supporting the charity. 
Pattinson sat down to dinner where he continued to chat with folks at his table as event host Adam Shankman began the show. The 27-year-old star ate and drank while chatting with a female pal sitting next to him during the bash. At one point during the night, charity co-founder Scott Fifer thanked Pattinson for being one of the online auction prizes several years ago (a lucky bidder paid $85,000 for a Twilight set visit to meet him!) and Rob blushed and smiled as the crowd cheered for him.
A little excerpt about the Go Campaign:
GO Campaign identifies deserving Local Heroes throughout the world and partners with these grassroots organizations to provide children and young adults with critical services, resources and needed opportunities. We offer support and raise awareness about these small, highly-impactful organizations that might not otherwise come to your attention. Our partners develop programs to provide children and young adults with basic human needs such as shelter, food, clean water, education, medical care, vocational training, and income-generating activities. We believe that providing today’s orphans and vulnerable children with these tools and opportunities to better their future is a critical part of the solution when it comes to fighting poverty. History has shown that the most effective way to fight poverty and make a difference in the lives of children is through small grants to grassroots organizations – and that’s what GO Campaign does best.

Robert Pattinson playing hard to get in super cute fan encounter from the Go Go Gala (Nov. 13)

Robert Pattinson playing hard to get in super cute fan encounter from the Go Go Gala (Nov. 13)

Remember this great pic from the Go Go Gala?

 photo ScreenShot2014-11-13at111018PM.png

Well she wrote an account of her evening and it's too cute.
From TealKitty:
First things first, met my (future) boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Hey, Rob.
I attended the Go Campaign Gala last Thursday night at The Montage in Beverly Hills. 
The Montage is one of my go-to places to go in west LA when I have nothing to do. My best friend Lauren and I would always go to the rooftop bar with Starbucks to kill time before going out on the town and causing trouble in my teenage years. The Montage is a gorgeous hotel and the architecture and gardens get me every time.  
Go Campaign is an organization that improves equal opportunity to unprivileged children. The event included an auction to benefit the campaign and raise awareness. The venue included the most beautiful vibrant flowers scattered everywhere, handmade truffles and belly dancers.  
One of the attendees of the event was Robert Pattinson. To be completely honest, I haven't even seen all the Twilight movies. After this night though, I am most definitely 'Team Edward.' And one time my dad and I drove through Forks if that counts for anything. I talked with Rob about the organization and asked him if he goes back to the UK often. Turns out that we'll both be there over the holidays. I was waiting for him to invite me go on a ride on the London Eye with him or take all the escalators in Harrods...but he didn't. Obviously my future soulmate is playing hard to get. I can play games too, Rob. 
Best. <3

MORE Fabulous NEW PICS Of Robert Pattinson At The Go Go Gala Last Night

Details from EOnline:

Unsurprisingly, Robert Pattinson—and his insane new hairdo—stole the spotlight last night at the 7th Annual Go Go Gala in Beverly Hills, where the 28-year-old hunk showed his support for the charity, which works to improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children around the world.

The former Twilight star is close with the organization's founder, Scott Fifer, with whom he posed for pics on red carpet (Pattinson also attended the event last year).

According to an eyewitness, FKA Twigs man arrived solo and earlier than expected, and, despite being the biggest star in the room, he kept a low profile before he took a moment to walk the red carpet, showing off his headline-making hairstyle.

"He wasn't being bothered by anyone and seemed to be enjoying himself before the dinner began, and, even though there were young girls present, he was not approached by any Twi-hards!" the eyewitness said.

Prior to the charity dinner, drinks were served at the event, and Rob appeared in good spirits while sipping a beverage out of a white wine glass with a lime in it (perhaps a fancy cocktail?) as he chatted with pals, including Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Glenn Howerton.

"He looked upbeat and was constantly running his fingers through that shaggy new ‘do before he headed into the ballroom a few minutes early for dinner," the eyewitness says.

During the three course meal, which took place at the Montage in Beverly Hills, Rob sat next to Howerton, as well as a blond woman, who appeared to be part of the charity gala. He listened intently to the program and stood up from his seat when honoree Ruchira Gupta was given a standing ovation after her speech.

While dessert was being served, an auction took place, and once again, Rob did not disappoint. The Cosmopolis star bid $6,000 for a dinner for 12 at Gjelina restaurant—a popular eatery in Venice often frequented by Beyoncé and Jay Z—although the fancy meal ended up going for $8500.

While Rob did not publicly bid on any of the other items, a source tells E! News that the charitable thesp contributed a "significant amount" to Go Go Gala, and clearly, he couldn't stop smiling at the auction.

"Overall, everyone seemed really pleased to have such a big name attached to the project!" the eyewitness said, noting that Rob brings a famous face to a very important cause.

Last year, Fifer publicly applauded Rob at the event after the actor donated a meet-and-greet on the set of Twilight: Breaking Dawn for the non-profit's online auction two years ago. The item was sold for $80,000 to a woman in Chicago and the proceeds led to the creation of the Program Advancing Girls' Education (PAGE) in Cambodia.

Talk about a hottie with a heart of gold!

Rob is no stranger to the GO Campaign, a campaign that "improves the lives of orphans and vulnerable children around the world".

In fact, they describe Rob officially as, "a friend of the GO Campaign and one of our dedicated donors".

Rob is such a giver. The campaign would like to raise $3,000 in honor of Rob (#giveback4Rob) and have promised to release over 20+ pics we haven't seen yet as we, Rob fans, work to reach the goal. They counted the $460 raised the night Rob popped up at the Go Go Gala last week and said we'd get 2 unreleased pics when they cross $600.

Well we've never been a fandom that likes to wait and Rob fans pushed past $600 in minutes. The total is actually at $700 and I CAN'T TYPE FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH UP WITH ALL THE GIVING!!!

I'll shush now and show you the goods.

You all know by now how special the GO Campaign is to Rob and it's coming up to the time of the year where they hold their Go Go Gala. This year to make it extra special the GO Campaign have come up with a way to honour Rob and give his fans an extra special way to join in.

You may have already received an email about the #ShareTheGOLove in your inbox but just in case you haven't, here's more about the campaign from gocampaign.org and details about how to donate.
"As our 8th annual GO GO Gala approaches, we have been reminiscing about Rob Pattinson’s loyalty to GO over the years, and also at the loyalty of his incredible fans! Thanks to YOU, over the last 5 we have raised over $100,000 for GO Campaign in Rob’s honor! That is a powerful testament to all of YOU and your generosity in supporting our mission, for that we want to say THANK YOU.

Over the last few days we at GO have received so many messages on our social media and inboxes and they have inspired us! We’ve been asked by Robert’s fans to create a campaign in his honor and we said YES!

HERE IS THE CHALLENGE, how much can we raise to honor Robert Pattinson and his commitment to GO Campaign and to give children opportunities??!!

Donate now to join in our #SharetheGOLove Campaign! (CLICK HERE TO DONATE)

Help us spread the word – and we want to hear from you! Tweet us, post on our social media… even sky-writing (if you have the time and know how to fly)! Tell us why are you a Rob fan, why you donate to GO Campaign, why you believe is it important to give back! And don’t forget to get those hashtags going #SharetheGOLove #RobertPattinson #GOCampaign #76812kidsandcounting

Here is what our #SharetheGOLove Campaign could help us do …

•Assist the Gatanga Furaha Community Based Organization in Kenya, which cares for 21 orphans. With your contribution, we can help make their orphanage sustainable by helping them launch an income-generating pig farm.
• Purchase computers for young adults with learning disabilities at the Will to Live Center in Vietnam. Our support will fund a job-training program, their street photography, beauty training, graphic design and IT classes for one year!
• Fund the Strategy Center in Colorado, which provides 270 ESL students access to the STEM Program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). These students don’t have the resources to excel in STEM, and this program widens their opportunities to get a better education which hopefully lead to better job prospects!

Want to see a couple of the highlights from the many projects that your $100,000 has helped us accomplish in the last 5 years?

• Thanks to you we helped build 2 new houses in Cambodia for at-risk girls. The facility where they used to live was surrounded by dangerous slums, exposed to floods and rampant disease-carrying mice, and not enough money for nutritious meals. Now, the girls have all their needs met during high school, including the opportunity for college scholarships or vocational training once they graduate! The houses were constructed in 2012 and were affectionately dubbed "The Home that Twilight Built".
• You raised thousands of dollars to support the Recycled Orchestra in Paraguay. This grant helped pay the salaries of the music teacher at the school and helped the program expand from 30 kids to 250 kids! And the most inspiring part is that they build their own instruments using recycled materials from the local landfill.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO SPREAD THE WORD AND HELP CHILDREN EVERYWHERE!"

Robert Pattinson Has Been Named As Go Campaign’s 1st Ambassador

Robert Pattinson Has Been Named Go As Campaign’s 1st Ambassador

The Go Campaign have announced that Rob will be their first ambassador! Fantastic News. So proud of Rob!

image host

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 2, 2015) – Robert Pattinson (The Rover, Life, Twilight Saga), has been named Ambassador for GO Campaign, as announced today by Founder & CEO Scott Fifer. As Ambassador, Pattinson will help raise international awareness of the non-profit organization and support their fundraising endeavors throughout the year.

Pattinson will attend GO Campaign events, introduce GO Campaign to new people and companies interested in learning more, and help to raise the international profile of the organization as they head into their 10th year next year.

GO Campaign improves the lives of orphans and vulnerable children around the world by partnering with local heroes to deliver local solutions. The organization connects donors to high-impact grassroots projects aimed at changing lives and transforming communities; the grassroots organizations provide children and young adults with critical services. GO Campaign supports and raises awareness about the small but highly impactful local organizations that provide shelter, food, clean water, medical care, education, vocational training and income-generating activities. Providing these services and opportunities, GO Campaign helps them build a better future which is a critical part of the solution when it comes to fighting poverty. From East L.A. to East Africa, GO Campaign has impacted over 76,000 children across 20 countries since its inception in 2006.
“I’ve eagerly followed the growing impact GO Campaign has had over the years, on so many children and youth, and I love how tangible and transparent it is. They partner with some remarkable grassroots local heroes who are doing fantastic work but who lack the needed resources, and in places where a little bit of money can go a long way. I’ve been a donor and a supporter, and now I look forward to joining their efforts, so together we can give opportunity to even more kids and young adults across the globe,” stated Pattinson.
Pattinson has been a staunch supporter of the organization for several years, attending their annual galas and providing auctionable items for the annual fundraising efforts. In 2011 he donated a set visit and meet and greet on the set of Twilight: Breaking Dawn that sold for $80,000. Those funds were used to build a center for girls’ education in Cambodia. “It was Rob’s idea to become our ambassador”, stated Fifer, “just as it was his idea to donate the set visit back in 2011. He really believes in what we do, and that’s the most we could ever ask for in an ambassador. We are thrilled to have him get even more involved and help us raise greater awareness as GO Campaign heads into our 10th year of giving opportunity to children around the world.”

Hosted by Ewan McGregor, this year’s annual gala is scheduled for November 12 at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills and will honor Abel Barrera Hernandez, Mexico’s leading human rights activist/educator; Favio Chavez and the Recycled Orchestra from Paraguay who play instruments made out of trash; and Neema Namadamu, a disabled community activist fighting for the rights of girls and women in the Congo. 100% of Gala ticket proceeds fund GO Campaign’s grantmaking for local heroes here at home and around the world.

UPDATE: Added another report with details, ETonline

Photo caption: Our ambassador #RobertPattinson and his fiancé FKA twigs getting to know our Orchestra and Favio! #SharetheGOLove https://t.co/KnDPMwRHtf

Vanity Fair also had some fun details from the event. Excerpt:

McGregor was the host of the evening’s fundraiser for the GO Campaign, in a room was crowded with stars, including Robert Pattinson and his fiancée, F.K.A. Twigs—who also performed later that evening—Kate Hudson, Vin Diesel and his wife, Paloma Jiménez, Jerrod Carmichael, and Katy Perry, the latter of whom brushed past the press on the red carpet to join Pattinson and Twigs at the coolest table in the room.

The three of them sat next to each other and seemed chummy, while Twigs and Pattinson showed moderate signs of affection throughout the night. (The same cannot be said for the one random couple that somehow ended up at the table and couldn’t stop the P.D.A., though no one seemed to interact with them or know who they were.) Twigs also engaged in conversation with the director Luc Besson, who has been photographed bowing to kiss her hand in the past and apparently remains an ardent fan.

Twigs later went onstage to perform three songs, dancing in bare feet and singing about “pacifying and clarifying our love,” which seemed to put Perry in an awe-inspiring trance and got Pattinson to bang the table with applause. Following that was the auction, where 100 percent of the proceeds were given to GO’s projects on the ground to help children around the world. After Pattinson made the rounds chatting and patting backs of donors, the A-list table got down to business: Perry paid $5,500 for a Mexican-fiesta cocktail party for 50 people, McGregor’s daughter Esther got a Mexican villa vacation for $16,000, Hudson gave $1,000 to help pay for the salaries of music teachers, Jiménez gave $3,500 for an instrument made of trash, and Pattinson got a Peruvian adventure for $8,500. Twigs looked happy; honeymoon, perhaps?

Excerpt from ET online:

When the 29-year-old heartthrob wasn't working the room at the star-studded gala at the Montage Beverly Hills, he spent his time cozying up to Twigs, his arm draped around the "Glass & Patron" songstress' shoulders. The pair talked and laughed with their tablemates, including Katy Perry, Kate Hudson, Jerrod Carmichael, director Luc Besson, and Vin Diesel and wife Paloma Jiménez. The media-shy duo attended the charity auction to help raise money for the GO Campaign to benefit orphans and vulnerable children around the world. Earlier this month, Pattinson announced he had become the organization's first celebrity ambassador.

...

Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, performed three of her songs at the event in her trademark ethereal style, and at one point, brought four teens from the Recycled Orchestra -- a Paraguayan music program supported by the GO Campaign -- to accompany her onstage with their homemade instruments. At the end of the brief set, Pattinson showed his appreciation by banging enthusiastically on the table while Perry led the room in a standing ovation for the 27-year-old singer. That should help quiet the persistent rumors that Perry and Pattinson's relationship is anything more than platonic.

...

Before Twigs took to the stage, Pattinson ponied up during the charity auction to help keep girls in school in rural Congo and build a music school in Paraguay. Judging by the smile on FKA Twigs' face, the big win, however, was definitely Pattinson's successful bid for a six-night Peruvian adventure for two.

Variety had more information about the cello Rob won in the charity auction. Will this be cello #2 in the Pattinson home? Click HERE if you forgot about the first time Rob talked about playing the cello. Excerpt from Variety:
Robert Pattinson was the toast of the town Thursday night at the sixth annual GO GO Gala.
GO Campaign co-founder and CEO Scott Fifer thanked Pattinson on behalf of the 25 impoverished Cambodian girls he indirectly helped with an auction contribution. The actor donated a meet-and-greet on the set of “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” for the non-profit’s online auction two years ago that sold to woman in Chicago for $80,000. That funding led to the creation of a Program Advancing Girls’ Education (PAGE) in Cambodia.
“It’s been remarkable how one auction item from a person in the Hollywood community can translate into changing the lives of girls forever,” Fifer said before the gala.
The PAGE home will expand from 25 to 35 girls early next year.
The “Twilight” star continued his charitable streak by participating in the liveliest auction of the night. Pattinson bid $5,600 to win a cello made out of recycled material (built by Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra of Cateura). The overall event raised more than $500,000.
The Recycled Orchestra, which plays instruments made from garbage found in landfills, also performed last night, eliciting a standing ovation from the crowd. Maracas hand-made with beer and tomato paste cans adorned the tables.
Continue reading HERE
Excerpt from the LA Times:
Auction sales have contributed mightily to the charity’s revenue, and actor Robert Pattinson, for one, has supported the GO Campaign as a buyer and seller. In addition to winning a recycled cello at the Nov. 14 shindig with his high bid of $5,600, Pattinson previously helped build a girls’ home in Cambodia by offering himself up for a “meet and greet” on the set of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.” Bidding online at Charitybuzz.com, a Chicago woman reportedly paid $80,000 for that privilege. 
“We call [the Cambodia home] the house that ‘Twilight’ built,” said Scott Fifer, the charity’s founder.
