I can barely contain my rush of goodwill towards Robert Pattinson. Here’s a guy who is 26 years old, coming off of a four-year roller coaster which saw him become a global phenomenon, and had him worshiped, stalked, harassed and adored by tweens and teens and adult women the world over… and when something awful happened to him, he was still able to put on his big-girl panties and go out and be a g—damn professional. I think he should be applauded for this. These are photos from last night’s MoMA screening of Cosmopolis, Rob’s new movie (directed by David Cronenberg). Shall we analyze his appearance? I think he looks good. He could have shaved, but I don’t mind the scruff. I like that he’s wearing a suit and tie (Gucci), and he looks fit and surprisingly well-rested. I can’t help it… I’m proud of him for going out and doing his job and not pitching a hissy fit about his promotional work.
On the red carpet (as it was), Rob did give some quotes here and there to media outlets, but for the most part he managed to avoid giving any quotes about Kristen Stewart and that situation. David Cronenberg did chime in, though, saying that the Stewart thing “doesn’t touch me and it doesn’t touch the film.” Rob allegedly greeted his costars and the media with a hearty “Cheers!” Rob also appeared on The Daily Show last night – in a pretaped bit done BEFORE the red carpet. I’m including the video below, but just FYI: Rob does not confirm anything about the situation with Kristen. He seemed uncomfortable, but like he was powering through it, and props to Jon Stewart for being decent about the whole thing:
I love that Jon and Rob both had their Ben & Jerrys, and I liked that Rob was completely flummoxed by Jon’s question of “What have you been up to?” Rob replies, “I had a joke prepared! God damn it. I was all set up and ready to go.” Rob even made a Spanx joke about the ice cream… but notice he continued to eat the ice cream, right? The boy has a sweet tooth. I think my favorite, favorite part was when Rob said, “My biggest problem in my life is I’m cheap, and I didn’t hire a publicist… I’m going to hire a publicist.” Jon replied: “I think you should… although, unless you have a time machine…” Isn’t it funny that Rob doesn’t have a publicist, yet his PR instincts are SO much better than nearly every other young actors’?
Anyway, Jon Stewart is incredibly decent, as I said, and he told Sparkles, “Listen, the last time I had a bad breakup, Ben and Jerry got me through some of the tougher times. So, I thought you and I could bond over this and talk about, ‘Boy, you are better off, kick her to the curb. Whatevah!’ When you are young and you break up, it’s powerful and it feels like the world is ending. This is the first time I have seen the world actually react that way. It’s insanity. Here is my wish for you, that you get to handle your business in private, in your personal life, and I wish you all the best.”
Should we analyze Jon Stewart’s repeated claims that what has happened between Robert and Kristen is a “breakup”? Is that an assumption on Jon’s part, or did Rob confirm the split to Jon privately, and gave Jon the go-ahead to make those jokes? Whatever happened, I’m thinking that Rob is feeling more like “I can never forgive her” at this moment. So maybe he will dump her, or he has dumped her already.
Incidentally, Robert is going to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange today! That’s really cool. I bet all of those NYSE dudes are going to want to have their photos taken with Rob.

I’m still dumbstruck as to the why.
Why be a dumb girl and have an affair with a dweeb old enough to be your father…and so on and so forth.
If Pattinson thinks it’s embarrassing for him, he’s wrong. It’s 100 times more embarrassing for her. How desperate is Kristen to have an affair with a one film director.
I don’t think it’s being desperate. I think it’s being young, inexperienced, and not considering the ramifications. When I was that age, holy crap… I didn’t sleep with married men, but I did some stupid stuff. And why is SHE being dragged through the coals for this? That married guy is 20 years older and couldn’t resist a hot, young girl. He manipulated her to some extent. Screwing a married guy will NEVER end well.
Regarding Rob, we all get dumped. He’ll get over it.
I love Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert so much. I wish I could find (single) men like them in this stinkin’ city.
ohds
“And why is SHE being dragged through the coals for this?” ?
How many times do people have to answer this?
It’s not because misogyny. It’s because Kirsten is more famous than him.
She is the highest paid actress!
STill have problem with media mostly dragging Kirsten? well she can sell magazines better than that old loser. that’s why
@NYC_girl – i totally agree with everything you wrote.
p.s. Rob is looking really good!!
exactly @ Pretty, I mean it would be the same thing if Rob cheated with some unknown movie director, the focus will be on ROB. I do believe that we still live in a misogynist society but you cannot deny that the reason KStew is more ragged on is because she has been one of the most famous actresses in the last five or six years. Who care about the old no name twit she cheated on? she IS a humongus part of the twilight franchise.
And I am sorry I know everyone makes dumb mistakes, I have made really really dumb mistakes as well, but with great power and money comes great responsbility. Don’t sh*t on your bread and then get mad when said bread becomes inedible. It is the proverbial price that goes with being famous i’m afraid.
Agree 100% with NYC_girl!
@ NYC_girl….agree with the sentiment about KStew. Not that I condone cheating…EVER…nor would I take her back were I in RP’s shoes. But, seriously…the vilification of KStew is getting old.
I ADORE the fact that RP doesn’t have a PR person. Love the way he has handled the whole affair situation. As Aud said, this lovely fellow hasn’t done a SINLGE thing to be ashamed of. If he doesn’t take his Bella back ( I probably wouldn’t ), there are many, many other fish in the sea to help heal his broken heart.
Stewart deserves 50% of the blame for what she did and Sanders deserves the other 50%. Stewart is the one who got dumped, first by Sanders who is trying to get back with his wife and now it appears by Pattinson. She is not an innocent child, she is an adult with years of experience in the cesspool that is Hollywood. I am not in any way excusing the blatant misogyny of some people, but there is no excuse for her behavior.
Genevieve – I agree that the vilification of KS is getting (really) old. I am especially tired of the nitpicking regarding who is more responsible – KS or RS? She is obviously paying for her part in the whole debacle and there has already been a few hundred tomes typed and posted about this very subject for the last 3 weeks. Nobody cares anymore unless they are a person who just wants to keep piling their totally meaningless self-righteousness onto someone they obviously never liked before this fantastic opportunity for judgement presented itself.
I think RP and KS were not only lovers but also best friends and I don’t think Pattinson appreciates all the presumptuousness of those attacking someone he (obviously, blatantly) cares a lot about, especially when they are complete strangers to him and it concerns his private life. Furthermore, while Hollywood does seem like it can be a cesspool at times, it doesn’t automatically mean that KS did not have a protective, loving family. It irritates me when people say she was born with a silver spoon and connections when the fact is her parents are BLUE COLLAR workers who happen to be in the business. She doesn’t seem nearly as screwed up as a few people I know in my own boring life, and there are some know-it-alls who should at least try to see that HW itself is like a bubble. Add to that the bubble of Twilight and a relationship with only one man from the time she hit adulthood until now and I think it is fairly easy to figure out that she is just sheltered and immature. Nothing more evil than that.
Anybody else watch the live webcast this morning of Sparkles ringing the opening bell at the NYSE? I tuned in with my first cup of coffee. It was a nice way to wake up. Damn, he can wear the hell outta a suit 🙂
I only thought he was attractive when he was playing Edward. Outside of that I thought he looked dirty and not attractive at all.
I can’t get over how good he looks right now. This is the best I’ve ever seen him look.
Rob has nothing to be ashamed of !! KS is acting like a skeezy entitled brat. Robert has class and decorum. I respect him more now than ever before. He looks dangerously handsome since he moved out and washed the skeeze off.
@pafakell Please reread my post. “Furthermore, while Hollywood does seem like it can be a cesspool at times, it doesn’t automatically mean that KS did not have a protective, loving family.” I never said anything about Stewart’s family. If you aren’t going to make the effort to be accurate and truthful why bother to respond? “I think RP and KS were not only lovers but also best friends and I don’t think Pattinson appreciates all the presumptuousness of those attacking someone he (obviously, blatantly) cares a lot about, especially when they are complete strangers to him and it concerns his private life.” This is is unbelievably pompous, presumptuous and self righteous. How the heck do you know this is true? Well you don’t do you? This is a gossip site where people discuss the lives of famous people. If you don’t like it go somewhere else.
I can’t get over how good he looked last night.
Me too. Everybody thought he would be a mess, but there he is, better looking than ever.
Of course he is looking better…he didn’t have little miss”I’m so bad ass”dragging him down.
I’ve never been a Pattinson fan but he is looking handsome in these pictures! Looking good and living well is the best revenge, right?
Honestly, I think it was the way his hair was styled. It hasn’t been styled that way in a while. It’s longer than it has been lately.
those other guys, ben and jerry looked pretty damn good too
@Corny,
I love the calibre of comments on this website, I’ve really giggled reading this 😉
Right? This is the only time I’ve ever looked at a picture of him and thought, “Damn….”
Me as well.
Damn.
It’s the colour of the suit too, it’s perfect on him.
Same here. I’ve never had the tingles for Sparkles (and I still don’t like the first 2 photos) but there are a couple of poses that made me look twice. Sh*t.
Same here. Not a typical obsessed with his looks, but…last night…mmmhmmm! Yes indeed hottie.
Me too! I never thought he was good looking at all, but he’s lookin good now – that’s the best revenge.
True. My first thought was:
“Fuck, he looks fine.”
That’s what I was getting ready to say! He looks hot! Go Rob!
I know right. This is the first time outside of the Twilight films where I think he looks hot. I never ever thought of him as hot.
You’re right, he looked amazing. I hope he was trying to send a message; “I’m OK without you.” She is sssoo trashy.
Yum. He looks a little like a scruffy Elvis here. And good for him for holding his head up high. So he should; he’s done absolutely NOTHING wrong.
Seriously, he only solidified me being a fan even more. He handled the interview with Jon great. (The only thing is that he was rubbing his nose a lot and I hope that’s nervous tic over a a coke problem). Congrats Rob!!
+1
Smart guy. Kristen’s PR team should watch and learn.
+1… The sweetest revenge has begun. I was more indiferent to Robert but now, I’m becoming his fan.
-This is one of his best looks, if not the best. The suit is amazing and looks clean and shaved. He’s freaking hot at these photos. I would definitely hit him.
-It was a great interview. Kudos for Jon Stewart, but Rob was confident, funny and with a classic British charm.
-His PR team -If he has a PR- is making a great work.
-Now, with interesting projects with Cronenberg and Michod, now he’ll work with Werner Herzog and Naomi Watts…
I hope this is the beginning of the Rob-fest. Get it, boy!
Footface looks good but he will never ever be sexy.
And people all around the world are professional even when they have personal issues, he’s not special.
most people don’t have their embarrassment broadcasted for public daily consumption. Him going on with his responsibilities is not special, its expected of him as an adult. Him going about his duties with the whole world watching to see if he cracks is unique.
Whatever, this is his job, he makes MILLIONS of dollars to show up on talk shows.
lol haters gon hate.
What’s with the footface? That’s about the silliest expression that I have ever heard. Yes, he is plenty special or he wouldn’t have the millions of fans that he does. You must think him special or you would not have commented. Rob is one classy man.
Jane, when I was in grade school “farty foot fungus face” was one of the WORST insults EVAH! 😀
He looks really good. I’ve loved him since Goblet of Fire and I hope he has a bright future ahead of him without more heartbreak.
I thought he looked cutest in that actually. Why is that? No, I’m not attracted to young boys. 😉
I’m rooting for him!
He seems like such a nice guy!!
I only have watched the Twilight 1 movie and didn’t care for him nor that homewrecker but as I’m searching for his interviews and watching them, he’s really genuine and funny.
He’s a gentlemen. That lip biting mentally challenged cheater should thank the lord that she had got to have a time with this classy man.
And we have a winner! pretty 😉 you have said it as simply as it needs to be stated … “He’s a gentlemen”.
I am not a fan of either Rob or Jon Stewart … not being a fan doesn’t mean I don’t like them, I just don’t watch them or look to watch Stewart’s show or any movie Rob is in. But I will say beyond pretty’s spot on assessment of Gentlemen Rob, I note:
1. Rob has outdone himself with PR without having a PR team. If his movie career flops he could switch to PR work and be the top in the field.
2. Does anybody else find it ironic that his first interview was with a man whose last name is Stewart? Hmmmm. Again, a subtle PR genius perhaps?
3. My impression is that no matter how real or fictional “Rob and Kristen the couple” was, he is healing just fine. Nobody has that much grace under the scrutiny this nonsense has garnered if you’re not on solid ground emotionally.
As much as this drama has entertained me, there are real victims here, and two of them, Liberty and Rob have shown the world how to handle betrayal under intense scrutiny with grace, style and a bit of humor. Good luck to them both.
Oh and as for Ruppy and KLewd, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of these two peoples lives.
‘Nobody has that much grace under the scrutiny this nonsense has garnered if you’re not on solid ground emotionally.’
— Absolutely, he must come from a very nurturing family.
Well said! I’m not a fan of either, but find them likeable. Rob has a terrific vibe about him that I don’t think you can fake, and I like Jon too. I don’t watch his show (I don’t watch TV much at all) nor do I go to see Rob’s films (but I’m more the watch-my-old-cult-favorites type), but when I see them, I like them (in this case clicking on links). You can’t fake genuine, cool personalites like those.
Wow! He looks mighty fine in these photos. Good skin, great hair and I love the stubble! Always thought he was cute but I practically jumped at the screen when I saw these photos.
You know, no matter how strong he trying to show himself to the media, his eyes are betraying him. Just look at pics, his smile is not reaching his eyes. Compare his old pics from premiers and these pics. The is so much of sadness in his eyes. :/
Anyways, I want to pat his back for being professional.
And yeah, he does look sexy and professional here.
Dear God, you robsten fanatics really are reaching and trying to make him be Edward who is all suicidle over the slutty Trampire.
Stop projecting your fantasies onto him. He looked healthier and more cleaned up then ever in the last 3 years. Stewart isn’t Helen of Troy worth of emo breakdown you all want him desperately to be.
@ Freespiritedgirl: That’s the first thing I saw, too. I’ve never thought he was sexy, but I’m a sucker for brokenhearted eyes. My heart goes out to him. I hope he makes the best decision for him and for what will make him happy. That’s what I hope for everyone.
@Anna: Overreact much? He looked great, but you can still see heartbreak. Her comment wasn’t stalker/twihard/fangirl at all. I don’t care for the twilight series at all, but you can still see when someone hurts. Your comment is the one that made me go…Woooaaahh.
That’s the first thing I did, look at his eyes after noticing how great he looked in his suit. But yeah, the eyes don’t lie and his look very sad. Doesn’t mean that he won’t be just fine without her though. I’m betting he will.
Yes, he’s trying to be brave and professional, but his eyes really do look sad. That said, it’s kindof a sexy look.
Fake relationship or not…gee he’s looking really good. Glad to hear he’s being professional.
ITA. 🙂
Hi Rhea:) I was asking about you the other day on another thread. Hope you are fine.
And back to this, ITA too.
He usually isn’t my cup of team but damn he looked so hot!
he looks good (like him better with scruff) and the interview was entertaining, good for him..
He looks fantastic in that blue suit! What a nice way to start my morning, lol…
Good lord he is so handsome. He makes scruffy look good. Seriously though, if he needs some one to cheer him up, I’m available.
He looks incredible and my crush on Jon Stewart just maximized itself massively! It became the Gremlins of all crushes. He is such an amazing guy.
Rob is going to be okay. If he can sit through an interview he can get through all!!!
BUT MAN, I love Jon Stewart. What a class act.
WAIT WHAT? Jon Stewart is Kristen Stweart’s father? O_O???
No,no relation at all
Nope. I just clearly had been under the wrong idea for awhile!!! Damn it made her so much cooler!! And rob so much cooler for a moment!!!
^this! Great tone to set for his upcoming interviews and really smart to be on the daily show before he starts all the morning show promotions. Adore Stewart for remembering what it’s like and being respectful. Walking a mile….ya know? Rob typically does nothing for me, but his eye color pops in that suit and scruff always does something to me. I like them beardy!
he wasnt feeling comfortable during the interview but who could blame him?
its just so strange watching people trying to avoid topics you know are awkward for them.
it was good though to finally come out of “hiding”, its like pulling of a band aid. the longer you wait, the more painful it will be. just get it done.
He is nice, decent guy. I wish him all the best
My thoughts exactly. Wish him the best.
I thought he got over his initial discomfort pretty quickly once the Jon Stewart interview was underway (I just realized how unfortunate a coicidence that last name is!).
He was GREAT on the show last night. I don’t know him, could care less about Twilight, and yet, was ridiculously proud of him. Did anyone else here have that reaction, or am I just losing my mind?
And yeah, he really should hire a publicist, though at this point I think he’d be better than most of them at the PR game.
My bad! But ha ha her dad has the same name!
oh jesus christ. you got me for a second.
He is NOT her dad for christ’s sake..
I got MYSELF pretty! I’ve believed this fact for MONTHS now! So I was all innnnnnnterrrrrrresting that Rob stopped there first.
I’m super lame! Sorry!!
I kept hoping they were going to make a joke about the “Stewart” name…like, ‘Rob, please don’t shun our whole family now’ or something to that effect. Would have been pretty funny.
Izzy: ITA. I really liked RP in Goblet of Fire, but haven’t seen the Twilight movies. So I don’t know much about him beyond this whole debacle. But after last night, he made me a fan. What a gracious, lovely man. Self-deprecating, humble – so unusual these days.
I was really happy for him…he got through his first interview with flying colors (thanks to a gentle, but funny Jon Stewart). He doesn’t need a PR team, he’s obviously got excellent instincts. I want to go see Cosmopolis now.
He was a little fragile in the interview, but his suit and awesome hair and tan scream “eat your heart out, Bella!”
He never used to do anything for me but…
Aw. Hope he comes through this well. What a professional, I think i’m going to go see Cosmopolis for the sake of it now.
I thought he came off great. He has a really good sense of humor and he has the grace not to take himself too seriously. It must have been hell on wheels navigating through the shitstorm of the past few weeks without a publicist but he’s handled it all with real class. I did get a definite impression that he’s done with her and just wants to put the whole mess behind him immediately and get on with his life.
He sounded really excited about his movie. I wasn’t all that impressed with the trailer but the initial reviews look pretty good.
Oh, and he looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Drool, drool.
soooo handsome. and LIKABLE.
“I’m cheap, and I didn’t hire a publicist… I’m going to hire a publicist” AH.
I think he handled very well the situation,and he look hotter to me.
Now, He should be the new face of Louis Vuitton!!!
This is the first time I find he looks good. Somehow his face doesn’t look so flat- must be the stubble that gives his face some depth or dimension.
He did really well (also bravo Jon), but he’s still not much of an actor. I’m not going to suddenly say he is talented just because he’s a nice guy. I wish him well but I still have zero interest in his movies.
Of course what Jon said was approved. He’s a nice guy and wouldn’t set out to blind side him.
I watched Water for Elephants for the first time over the weekend. Painful.
It really was the worst, although I hated the book, too. I kept thinking the movie would redeem itself. But no.
I love Christoph Waltz! But casting Reese Witherspoon as the ingenue? Bad. Lifetime movie bad.
The male Katie Holmes to me. The guy whose work I usually don’t think much of, but as far as a personal situation, give kudos for publicly handling it well.
As far as Jon Stewart, he’s a smart guy. No point in pissing off guests by asking stuff they don’t want to REALLY reply to. Word gets around. I Think Rob that everyone was expecting an allusion to the situation at least, and likely why he allowed it, as long as he didn’t have to comment on it.
He is a professional and a class act. I adore him! He looked fantastic in that suit, wow!
I will see the bizarre Cosmopolis to support him.
+1
Not a huge fan of Cronenberg, but hopefully it’s more watcheable than the Twilight output.
The KS situation seems to have aged the way he carries himself now. it’s working for him, I admire his professionalism but he does seem a bit downtrodden. Still a hottie. He’s going to age well.
DAMN…Looking good Rob.
I hate this scandal because I’m starting to find this dude attractive. I always thought he was incredibly ugly and had a face like a foot, not to mention the fact that he dresses like it’s laundry day at the Salvation Army all the time.
He looks dapper as f*ck in that suit. . You can hardly tell that his natural inclination is to look homeless/dirty 98% of the time. (I guess his stylists let him keep the neck beard as a compromise.)
Something tells me he went to the spa and had himself done. I REFUSE to believe he’d pluck his own eyebrows.
Kristen fans on Tumblr are mad that he didn’t defend her on the ‘The Daily Show’ with Jon Stewart. They’re such dumbasses. Rob is classy as f*ck and could have dragged that bitch but he didn’t. Kristen fans need to take a nap on some railroad tracks, they’re pathetic tbh.
I’m getting so much life drinking the freshest brew of organic tea sweetened by free range, all natural Kristen fan tears. With a cool, lightly whipped slice of denial on the side.
It’s delicious, just and rejuvenating.
As for Rob, I just wanna hug him and feed him a sandwich…actually no, I wanna feed him my vagina. He looks so hot.
Your comment has me ROFL. Kudos!
I was right there with you….until the “feed him my vagina” bit. Ugh, TMI….
BRAIN BLEACH!! 🙁
LOL. You’ll have to learn to scroll past my comments bb cause I’m always TMI.
It’s because I spend so much time on Dlisted and ONTD…
Crystal, I am at a doc’s office, trying not to laugh! God, that tears comment was the best!
I thought he looks great and he handled the interview well. Kristen and her team have to be steamed over the Ben and Jerry’s, “kick her to the curb” moments, and his laughing at them. Can’t wait for an reaction from Team Stewart. As for her acolytes, they need to get over it. What their idol did was foul. But I fear they are going to retailiate – dangerously – b/c Pattinson did not tell the show no SWATH-gate jokes, or stop the interview and say glowing things about Kristen.
This week is not the Cosmopolis promo tour; this is the F-U-Kristen-I’m-not-curling-up-in-a-ball-over-you tour. The “go ahead and get gone” moment was when Pattinson kicked her out of his house and had her car towed out of his driveway. He gave himself a couple of weeks to grieve and find solace with family and friends; but it’s time to handle his business and show the world he’s soldiering on. Ringing the opening bell at the NYSE today. Interview at GMA tomorrow. A 30-minute sit down with MTV this week. Kudos to his management for getting this together. (He has to have a manager.) THIS is how you do PR for a bad situation. Who knows? The box office for Cosmopolis could spike over this; and there could be a run on DVD rental and sales of his movies. (Twilight may be iffy b/c the perp is in it.)
He may have said it directly (and may never will), but IMO his demeanor says “Robsten is done”.
“Twilight may be iffy b/c the perp is in it.”
HAHAHA.
Good one.
Hi Crystal. I was hoping you would post and you didn’t disappoint. 😀
Me too!! Crystal is the one who consistently makes me spit out whatever I happen to be drinking when I read her posts! 🙂
LMAO!!! I think you may be my new hero! 🙂
Yes Crystal, but ALL of the Twilight fans are EXTREMELY annoying. It’s great that hers are eating it now, but the downside is that now becomes the perfect time for his to barely contain their glee behind condescending, mothering, smothering comments. Then there are the violent, jealous Kristen haters (not on Celebitchy, of course). I do think, though, that many Rob fans were genuinely hurt that so many found him ugly and stupid. Now that those ‘nonfans’ were interested enough in this scandal to watch an interview of his and actually see for themselves what those fans always liked about him… well, I reckon they’re ecstatic.
I’ll be watching Daily Show tonight. Good on him for getting on with his job
He looks sad. Hot but sad. 🙁
Is it strange that I think this is the best RP has ever looked? The suit does a lot for him. My crush on Jon Stewart just reached Code Red.
Never been Sparkles fan…. But Rob has just caught my respect. Being cheated on & having your heart broken is hard enough..having the whole world know every heart breaking detail is a whole other level of humiliation. Kudos to him for taking a break & coming out looking rested, put together, clean, & better than ever.
Nicely stated!
I’ve never been particularly attracted to Rob (maybe its cuz i HATE twilight crap), but I suddenly got all tingly downstairs from these photos. I prefer him with scruff. YUM 😀
I love Jon Stewart! I love how he handled this interview, didn’t push, and tried to make Rob as comfortable as possible. The ice cream bit was hilarious. Sparkles handled himself with dignity & class. Always the professional.
I really enjoyed the interview with Jon Stewart last night. I’m not a big Robert Pattison fan, but just had to watch. I thought it was all handled very well…I Loved that the B&J was brought out. Jon did a great job of putting the situation out there without being too intrusive and Rob did a great job of dealing with the awkwardness that was bound to be.
I can’t get over Kristen’s claims that he is the Love of her life. You don’t cheat on the man that you Love…It’s very simple!!
BTW: I Love the Scruffy Look!!!
And Robert Pattinson got hot. He looks very, very good.
I effing LOVE John Stewart. Yeah Rob seemed nervous, but who the heck wouldn’t? I think John did his best to make Rob comfortable by joking and laughing about it rather than making a big serious thing out of it. And he’s just so damn funny. And cute.
Ok I want to marry John Stewart lol
+1000000000000000
You love Jon Stewart. He’s fab.
JoHn Stewart is Kristen Stewart’s dad. 🙂
I see what you did there 😛
Jon Stewart “Boy, you are better off, kick her to the curb, whatevah” ! So hilarious, and still kind to RP.
Guess Jon Stewart won’t be interviewing Kristen Stewart anytime soon. 😉
Woooooow. He looked fantastic at the premiere! Better than he’s looked in ages, I’d say. Love the hair, love the scruff.
Can’t we all agree that RP is professional and classy?
KStew, you could learn a thing or two from your (ex?) boyfriend.
God, he looks amazing.
I’m thinking maybe he’s lost a few pounds? Some minor emotional weight loss? Does he have a little more maturity aroundt he eyes or something? Whatever tho, emotional strife suits him, cuz damn…
Also I love that his first appearance was on Jon Stewart and the two of them together is almost too much adorable-guy glee for me.
He is starting to resemble Jason Priestley… ugh..
Every decent looking guy needs to go to Gucci right now and purchase a blue suit like this…I mean, if they want to instantly be 10x hotter.
..Wonder to self what equivalent designer/dress would be for females..hmmm…
I didn’t care for his looks before but dude has never looked better. I’m excited – another hot celeb to obsess over on Celebitchy.
I guess sometimes a bad break up can do you wonders… Stay strong (and hot), Rob!
But….has Rob reached out to Will Farrell yet?
Damn that man looks good!
LIKE A PRO
I’m starting to love this dude more everyday
Totally with you, Mayday! He kept smiling and making jokes and handled it with a lot of class. You know, like a grown up should do!
A very public breakup may be the best thing for him. He will get a chance to be “on his own” without the movie/real life connection to Kristen. Even if they get back together eventually, this will give them the breathing room they both needed in order to move on.
But I do like him more and more all the time. And he does look nice is a suit.
I said it commenting on another post here and I’m gonna say it again now, I think this is gonna be that last little boost his career needed.
I think him kristen stewart being together made it difficult for non twilight people to see both of them outside of that. I haven’t bothered to see any of his movies and the more I start to like him, the more I’m interested in him as an actor.
I think non fans of the franchise are increasingly curious about him cause of this whole thing (which is where I fall) and the better he handles this, the more publically likeable he will become overall, movies will do better etc.
Life has a funny way of working out sometimes… 🙂
Did anyone else think Rob and Jon may have toked prior to the interview? Jon just seemed excessively interested in eating the ice cream, and not just ’cause it was melting. Had a bit of disjointed stoner vibe to it…
Jon is always like that. He’s always eating crap on his show with guests or during his monologue. It wasn’t a surprise that he shared ice cream with Rob.
I’ve seen Jon do that, but the dialogue flow reminded me of ‘those’conversations. Perhaps it’s just due to Rob’s admitted pot smoking. No matter what, no judgment here.
Did love how Jon tried to instill some political fervor into Twilight fans who were just watching because of Rob.
What? When did Rob admit to smoking pot? The only time I’d seen him mention it was to say he can’t smoke pot because he’s “allergic” to it. Admittedly, I haven’t seen most of his interviews.
Not really.
The ice cream was a prop that he could use during his more nervous moments. Note that he only eats whenever something sensitive came up.
Jon Stewart was amazing with Rob. so glad that he got the first interview. He dealt with Rob’s vulnerability in the best way, with humour and sensitivity.
Even though this first appearance under such intense scrutiny must have been so uncomfortable for Rob, he handled it like a motherf*cking PRO. Tried to joke about it, even though it came off awkward. This man. I have so much fondness and respect for him. I did detect some sadness; it’s like his smiles never quite reached his eyes. Sniff, poor Sparkles. Hope he gets his groove back soon and doesn’t take that triflin ho back. If I was him, I would just get so f*cking angry all over again that she put him in this position to deal with all this shit. Selfish C*NT.
And that scallywag is still in an undisclosed location, letting Rob and the rest of the Twilight cast take incoming. Woman up and face the music Stewart. It’s time.
On The Road will be at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) in early Sept. Maybe she will use that as her first public appearance.
“Isn’t it funny that Rob doesn’t have a publicist, yet his PR instincts are SO much better than nearly every other young actors’?” That just summed it up completely. I don’t usually care for pretty boys, but I am completely Team Rob (don’t bother; never saw any of the Twilight movies ever) at this point. I always liked him, but he is just such a lovely, kind, easygoing guy. You can’t fake that. He handled everything with decency and aplomb; I’m not sure he was doing anything other than avoiding an invitation to talk, though. Not sure he is as over Kristen as you seem to think, but I could be wrong. And I like how Jon Stewart handled himself as well-not shying away, but giving Rob space to respond the way he wanted to. Just Rob showing up and doing what he had agreed to do and powering through it and not insulting KS just shows how classy he really is.
I didnt think I could love Pattinson or Jon Stewart more, but here I am loving them both more!
Rob looked so amazing. Seriously, the guy can wear a suit.
You know what I love most of all about his showing such class and being his usually goofy self last night…its that he’s shown Kristen up. In past joint interviews, you could always tell that Kristen, with her too cool attitude, was somehow embarrassed by Rob’s charm and goofiness. It was always a stupid way to react. And in the most embarrassing of moments, he’s outsmarted, out cooled and outclassed her. She is the one who ended up embarrassing herself most of all.

Perfect 🙂

Rob has handled everything very well so far. Kudos to his team, too. He stayed out of sight and kept quiet while he got his sh*t together. He showed up for all his commitments like a pro, and handled everything with grace and class. Taking the high road is the absolute right thing to do. There are more than enough people slagging her, he doesn’t need to join the fray.
Interestingly, I think this whole debacle will help him gain male fans. His fanbase is hugely female, owing to Twilight and the fact that his other few movies have been romance type movies. His next step is to build a male fanbase. Cosmopolis was the first step, and the next two he’s lined up to shoot are also male-oriented. But this scandal and the Daily Show appearance has made him sympathetic even to guys. It’s like he’s one of them now. Even the hot, rich, famous guy can get cheated on or dumped by his girlfriend, you know?
I find him to be really likeable and interesting. He’s not cut out of the typical Hollywood mold. Doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes, either. I really hope this all helps him take his career to the next level.
This, too. I love how many comments on this thread are so empathetic and articulate. This comment- and many others- aren’t coming from young Twihards, or Rob-Kristen fans; they’re coming from people admiring how a young actor behaves and handles himself and who notice body language and unspoken communication. And Jon Stewart and Rob Pattinson are two smart, well spoken guys. Your loss, Kristen.
Woah ….Rob got HOT! Thanks trampire!
Awwwww…he seems so sweet and real. I hate that this happened to him, because it is so public. It’s hard to put on a brave face when you are hurting inside, but I think he did a good job. Go Rob!
The pube beard only makes me want him more…
He looks sexier than ever!! Which I love! I’m weirdly proud of him for how he’s handling himself. Go Rob!!!
Cedric Diggory is looking FINE!
The more uncomfortable is Rob the less British he sounds. His accent is almost gone in this interview…It was so funny that he had to have a British accent coach for that Bel Ami movie ’cause – as Christina Ricci put it – Rob started sounding like a Valley gal 😉 — and that’s exactly how stew positions herself – creative Valley gal.
Anyway, his elder sister is in advertising, so I guess he gets some professional advice from the family, plus he has an ultra experienced manager. But nevertheless he handles this scandal extremely well. Respect, Rob!
He is classy and (often) handsome and interesting. But something is gone, and I miss Rob from first Jon Stewart’s interview and high as a kite Rob from earlier years…
And there are no words to express my LOVE to Jon. He is the BESTest!!!
Bless you Jon, I think this interview was just what Robert needed! And he’s looking FINE.
twihearts sparkle everywhere! twimoms tingle! edward is ok! life can go on. as you were now… 🙂
I’ve never been a fan of his but I have enormous respect for how he handled the interview. I certainly couldn’t have been so calm and courteous to my ex only two weeks after I had found exceptionally graphic photos of him with one of my so-called friends.
Well done 🙂
Anyone else get the feeling that this whole thing was a hoax and we’re all falling for it. Kudos to him for ‘moving on’ and being professional and strong and looking good but… something is just not right (to me). Despite everything, congrats on the sudden career boost and/or increased notoriety – for both of them. Wish them well.
Nope – Sometimes things just are what they are.
Doesn’t compute. Why would Kristen and her team park her firmly in the middle of a shitstorm? That’s SUCH a risky endeavor. Kristen Stewart’s career pays for their mortgages,car payments, their children’s private school and stocked the college fund; they’re NOT going to make her a sacrificial lamb. Face the facts. If they set it up it would be mutually beneficial such as a quiet break up with several friendly public documented sightings together like lunch or walking their dog together. That way they’re both single and they remain friends and any talk about behind-the-scenes nastiest would just be heresay.
Now THIS, should be the face of Louis Vuitton, maybe even Tebow too.=)
IDK, i never find him attractive, at all. but good for him, i hope he gets on with it well 🙂
In my mind, the public apology was less forgiveable than the affair. Yes, 22 year olds make dumb mistakes (and apparently also 40-something producers) but the apology was just a fist to the gut for Rob, and Kristin does have a PR guy, and they should’ve known better.
Now I’d like to talk to Rob about his beard. For one thing, even guys with beards shave their necks. And it needs to be sculpted a little better, it makes his face, at first glance, look very pointy, little narrow chin, and the combination of that with his naturally wide-set eyes makes him look a little like an alien.
All that aside, I saw the interview and was impressed with his class and charm and ease with himself. He’s a good guy.
” Isn’t it funny that Rob doesn’t have a publicist, yet his PR instincts are SO much better than nearly every other young actors’?”
Not surprising – it’s because he’s a smart young ENGLISHMAN. Not that there aren’t a lot of dumb ones too, but the classy English wrote the book on serious class.
Not a twihard, haven’t really given the bloke much thought but he handled himself brilliantly and bravo too. A refreshing change from Hollywood as usual. Mystified as to why he doesn’t have a publicist. Not that he needs more publicity and his handling of his day yesterday suggested he doesn’t need that much PR guidance. It’s boring to hear actors sticking to a script in interviews, makes them as interesting as politicians.
I’m just really enjoying the Rob-love-fest. I think people tend to be hard on him for no valid reason and I, that love him so much, suffer with that. I knew from the start he would be nothing short of gracious about this mess, it’s just his personality, and its a bonus that he’s looking so hot.
He looks so much better with the hag off his face! Go Rob. He makes me want to be a fan of his now.
wow I’ve never been a fan of his but damn he looks good in these pics.
I, too, wondered about the fact that Jon kept referring to it as a “break up”. If it wasnt, wouldnt he have pointed it out to him beforehand?
But I really admire the way he handled that, sure he clearly evaded those questions but still, he seemed like a gentleman.
I know this is not the right place to post, but since it is one of the newer items, I will post my question here: Anyone have any idea why Kristen Stewart made a public apology? It just seems very odd to me that anyone would go public about this kind of thing right away. Why was her apology public when this betrayal is personal? This is the kind of news item people want to keep out of the headlines. I don’t get it. Is it because her fans were so involved in their relationship? Weird.
although I didn’t understand everything, I think he was really great and professional. I really wish Sparkles all the best!
Life without K-Stew agrees with him.
