How Twilight changed Rob's life

“Twilight” Robert Pattinson says his sudden rise to fame was just that — too sudden — turning it into a “bizarre” experience that has had more than a few negative consequences. In “New Moon,” he is a much less visible presence, turning over star duties to Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, the shape-shifting werewolf. Jacob becomes a love interest of Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella Swan.
Rob’s character, Edward Cullen is a secondary to the plot, appearing mainly in Bella’s visions. Rob has no regrets about that.
To the contrary, he relished taking a back seat, because it took some of the pressure from “Twilight” off of him and redirected to Taylor, who will be starring in an upcoming show “Saturday Night Live” ahead of Rob, who reportedly turned it down.
Since “Twilight” debuted in 2008 and became an international phenomenon, that pressure has been unrelenting, he says in a new interview in the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
“It’s bizarre becoming famous in this way. Believe me. it’s something that I never wished,” he says, according a translation of the article from Italian to English.
Rob says he is looking forward to getting some normalcy back in is life, but sadly it won’t be focused as much on music, one of his first loves.
“I was in my first band when I was 15. Now I play piano and guitar, sometimes, but only for myself. I can’t do concerts [or have a serious music career] because I will always be known as ‘the guy from ‘Twilight’ who wants to be a musician.’”
And, he plans to swear off girls for a while because he knows it would be difficult to have a relationship under the current circumstances.
For one, he says he will constantly have a security detail in tow for the foreseeable future, something he regrets, but knows he can’t do without.
“It’s totally crazy, I know, but I am getting use at it. It’s only because, when I’m without my bodyguard, I am afraid: it is nearly impossible even to come out from a restaurant and get in a car,” he says.
But he draws the line on his entourage there. “I have no personal press agent and I want to avoid this,” he says.
“I clearly don’t want my life to become a reality show. In fact, if I see a photographer I go the other way. I give only a few interviews and I don’t do public appearances, if it is not necessary to promote a movie. I don’t want people to get tired of my face.”
Don’t worry Rob, that’s one thing you probably won’t have a problem with — for better or worse.

Edward ~~sigh~~

One of my favorite scenes from New Moon

I love the way Chris Weitz incorporated the Meadow Scene in New Moon.  It was the only point in the movie where it felt like Edward and Bella from Twilight.  That's what Catherine Hardwick did so well.  You felt the chemistry between the two....something Chris failed to do. How differently the reunion scene would have turned out if Catherine was in the director's chair...It would have been intense, like it should have been.

Another "He doesn't want this" video

Does anyone else see the fucking Irony of making these videos???

Look, I don't mean to be a harsh bitch, but isn't the whole purpose of  "Rob doesn't want this, neither do we" campaign to send a message to the paps that the fans don't want them getting in his face taking his picture while invading his privacy? YET these very same fans are using THE same pics the paps took to promote their cause?...
...(I'm not done yet) Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe, just maybe, Rob pulls his fucking cap over his eyes or puts his hand up to block his face so the flashes from the cameras doesn't blind him while he walks?....


Or...

How about a campaign to stop fans from fucking screaming in his ear when he walks by or shoving their shit at him for an autograph.......


Case in point....

What the fuck?   Did they really ask him not to cut his hair??  The one moment in time that they'll ever have with Rob ever again in their life and they fucking tell him not to cut his hair?? ...No rob, I don't want to fuck you I just want to make sure you don't cut your hair...

.......ok, I guess I AM a harsh bitch!

Pattinson poster sparks swine flu fears.....LMFAO

Fans of 'Twilight' heartthrob Robert Pattinson have been banned from kissing a life-size poster of the actor for fear of spreading swine flu. Teenage girls and boys flocked to the card-board cut-out after it was unveiled at the Reel Cinema in Crewe, Cheshire, to coincide with the release of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon', The Telegraph reported.
The British actor's fans were found kissing the poster, forcing the cinema staff to stop them from doing so to prevent spreading germs and even swine flu.
The staff have stuck a note to the cut-out that reads: "Please help reduce the spread of germs by refraining from giving Edward, or any other character for that matter, a kiss or a hug."
"We put the sign up because of swine flu. If people started kissing him it could spread. We have to be more careful now," said supervisor Mandy Taylor.
Pattinson, who shot to overnight fame with his turn as vampire Edward Cullen in the saga, is a craze among female fans currently.
"The film was so popular that our performances were sold out for the first week. The girls were coming in and having their pictures taken. They were getting a bit carried away and in the nicest possible way we said 'Don't kiss him'," Reel Cinemas Managing director Kailash Suri said.

Chris Weitz defends woman in film's taping

The director of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is coming to the defense of a Chicago woman facing prison time for videotaping part of the film.

Director Chris Weitz told the Chicago Sun-Times that he was dismayed to hear about Samantha Tumpach's Nov. 28 arrest at a Rosemont movie theater. She faces a felony charge of illegally copying Weitz's new film and could get three years in prison if convicted.
Tumpach was found with about three minutes of "New Moon" on her digital camera. She says she was taping her sister's birthday party at the theater and wasn't trying to record the movie.
In his e-mail to the Sun-Times, Weitz says there's a difference between trying to protect the film's copyright and prosecuting someone who "clearly seems not to have any intentions towards video piracy."
Weitz says he's contacted the film's studio about his concerns.

Maybe Chris should contact the movie theatre that's actually prosecuting. Take her camera and destroy the footage for God's sake.  Ban her from the premises, but don't send this young girl to prison!

I think it's ridiculous this poor girl has to go through this when she clearly had no intentions of distribution. Yet, how is it that someone else was able to link the complete movie here and get away with it?

Respect Rob campaign continues

 

Source

Ok, I'm going to put my 2 cents in on this one and I'm sure i'm going to get bitch-slapped by every robgger out there.  As much as I sympathize with Rob and respect the "He doesn't want this, neither do we" campaign, I also understand that he's the most sought-after man on the planet.  As much as it sucks for him, it unfortunately comes with the territory.  That's the reality. He's not the first actor/entertainer that has had to deal with over-zealous paps and/or fans. Snapping pics of him entering or leaving venues, hotels or restaurants is expected being that it is "public" space.  I really believe Rob understands this.  I think sometimes it's just hard for these celebrities to conceal their annoyance.  

Everyone wants a piece of Rob.  Whether it be from paps trying to make a buck, to the magazines wanting high circulation numbers, to tabloid tv wanting high ratings right down to Summit wanting to reep their efforts. How is this any different from fans stalking him for an autograph or picture? Or the multitude of bloggers regurgitating the same info and pics over and over?

I'm sure Rob would be humbled by the "Respect Rob" video, but he also realizes that his stardom, annoying as it may be, has also brought him the very same notoriety that will ensure a very amicable career. He has conveyed these feelings through various interviews that i've come across. He said in an interview that he expects this to die down after the Twilight saga runs its course. That he just has to ride it out.

Do we just blame the paps for this invasion or do we all share in the responsibility? "We" meaning all Robggers who share (drool) his every move, the media (tv and print), the establishments he frequents that tip off the paps as to his whereabouts, fans who tip off other fans and Summit Entertainment who pimps him out with a blitz of talk show appearances, promotional tours spanning the world and multiple fan conventions?  And what about Robert himself? (ducking) The most sought after answer on everyone's mind worldwide is, "Is he or is he not with Kristen Stewart?" I believe by not answering directly with a "yes" or "no", it keeps the paps fervently in pursuit of THE photograph that will bear proof.  It really isn't anyone's business whether they're an item or not.  But why not give a straight answer, just to put the issue to bed? Speculation feeds fire and if you don't want to feel the heat from it, why not just put an end to the speculation?


TOR you rock and I totally respect and applaud your grass roots effort.  My posted opinion is in no way meant to hamper your message to the intrusive paps.  After all, it is just MY opinion and probably not worth a damn to anyone other than myself!


Call me selfish, call me an inconsiderate bitch if you must, but I'll continue to post any pictures I come across.  If you feel they're intrusive, feel free skip over them or even leave a nasty comment if you must.  I started Robert Pattinson Fix to share my findings, ALL FINDINGS, with those who share my obsession...

Still Nit-picking

When I saw this photo, I just assumed it was a scene from New Moon...maybe Bella dreaming? I couldn't wait...so now I'm wondering...what was this scene and why the fuck didn't Chris Weitz include it in the move?

Robert Ponders His Post-'Twilight' Possibilities

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Having been heralded to fame by the "Twilight Saga" and the once-fledgling Summit studio behind the mega-successful franchise, Robert Pattinson can't help but wonder sometimes if it's all just a fluke. "I've only done one movie outside of the 'Twilight' series, 'Remember Me,' "Rob recently said about his first post-fame project with Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan. "But even that I did with the same studio, so I guess I'm still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability will be outside of the series."

Robert will be testing that "economic viability" with several projects throughout 2010 including the Guy de Maupassant adaptation "Bel Ami" with Uma Thurman and the Western "Unbound Captives," which the actor discussed recently with MTV News.
