If anyone is keeping score, it took less than 24 hours for me to go FULL TWIHARD on Robert Pattinson’s publicity tour for Cosmopolis. In the past, I’ve had moments where I really enjoyed Rob. He’s almost always a good interview, he’s funny and he usually comes across as a sweet guy. But something about The New Rob… it’s turning me into a squealing Twihard. I really did do a little “squee!” at these photos of Rob yesterday in NYC. He was just walking from his hotel to the car. He wore a simple white t-shirt, dark jeans, with a hint of boxer shorts sticking out from behind. And he’s just perfect!!! OMG. Is that what Twihardom feels like?
Anyway, I’m sure this will be one of many Twihard-y posts about Rob today, so let’s just get to some of the stories circulating about him. It seems that at the Cosmopolis afterparty on Monday night, Rob was in a halfway decent mood:
Robert Pattinson turned his frown upside down! After a charming appearance on The Daily Show and a red carpet walk at MOMA, the 26-year-old didn’t shrink into the corner for the Cosmopolis premiere afterparty at The Dream Downtown hotel in NYC’s Meatpacking district.
Following a private dinner at the hotel’s Library, the Gucci-clad actor — making his first public appearance since news of girlfriend Kristen Stewart’s affair broke — “looked happy,” one observer tells Us Weekly.
“He was friendly and spoke to everyone that said hello.” One topic that never came up? “There was no talk of Kristen,” the observer says. “He was smiling and laughing a lot.”
Arriving at PH-D (the penthouse at the Dream Downtown) around 10:30 p.m., the star and his pals (including Cosmopolis costars Stanley Tucci, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Durand and Sarah Gadon) parked themselves at a banquette near the DJ booth — surrounded by six bodyguards. Pattinson drank bottles of Budweiser as he chatted with other revelers — and, with the doors opened to the outside terraces, he puffed on an electronic cigarette.
Leaving PH-D past midnight, the star and his group just moved the party downstairs — to the Electric Room, a bar in Dream Downtown’s basement — for a few more drinks. The fun, chill evening was about “celebrating with his friends and costars,” a source explains to Us. Guests were treated to an open bar care of Ciroc vodka.
“It’s really too bad that there was a cloud over his big night. He knows that everyone wanted to ask and bring it up,” adds the source of Pattinson and Stewart’s troubled romance. “He’s ready for life after Twilight now — now more than ever.”
People Magazine had many of the same details, but People’s unnamed source said, “He was very charismatic, all smiles, looking very relaxed and hugging all who stopped by to say . The general crowd gravitated towards his table, but he was shielded by security. He was surrounded by women and the movie’s cast. The whole room was watching him, and he looked genuinely at ease and comfortable the whole time.” Apparently, Paul Giamatti, was “looking over at Rob, and looked like he felt sorry for him.” OMG. Paul Giamatti is all Twihardy and horny too. JUST LIKE ME.
Other stories… Variety reports that Rob is signing on to Werner Herzog’s new film called Queen of the Desert. My gut reaction was “DRAG QUEENS!!” because I thought it was some kind of remake of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. But it’s actually about the desert, and the relationship between Gertrude Bell and T.E. Lawrence. Bell would be played by Naomi Watts, and Pattinson has been cast as T.E. Lawrence, also known as “Lawrence of Arabia”. I could actually see that. You know who would have made an outstanding T.E. Lawrence? Benedict Cumberbatch. I’m just sayin’. I’m not hatin’. Anyway, this new role is part of Rob’s new strategy to get as far away from sparkly vampires as he can get. He’s also doing a military role with Mission: Blacklist, and several mysteries/action/drama films.
Meanwhile, Radar claims that Kristen Stewart is relieved and “filled with regret” after watching Rob’s interview with Jon Stewart. A source claims, “Just like his devout fans, Kristen tuned into Robert’s interview with Jon Stewart with drawn breath. But after seeing him deflect the questions about her, Kristen’s anxiety soon disappeared and instead she was filled with regret. While she was obviously relieved that Robert didn’t trash her, the realization that their relationship was finally over hit her hard. Kristen was praying that after the dust settled she would get another chance and she was clinging on to that hope.” Now she wants to see Rob in person and work on having a friendship with him. A friendship that would involve him publicly forgiving her, I’m assuming.

The Trampire wants him to forgive her so she can have her career back. She’s always been calculating and her publicist is leaking these “pity me” stories.
She truly enjoys playing the victim and her idiot fans blame everyone for her scandal but her.

Rob is cool, and is a pleasure to listen to. I wish he had some monthly TV segment, I don’t care what he talks about, he is usually interesting regardless. His acting, on the other side…Hmmmm, I really hope he is working with an acting coach. Dude, you saved money on PR, and rightfully so. Now it’s time to splurge!

The GMA interview was a little rough. George isn’t the best entertainment reporter, he’s so much better with the political stuff. I wonder if they went with him because Lara would’ve been too pushy. In any case, Rob looked great & answered the best he could. Funny & charming as alwways.

This must be absolutely maddening for him, now everyone wants a piece of him. I don’t think he was ever comfortable with his sex symbol status now it’s been amped up x100. I truly wish everyone would let him be, this can not be good for his overall well being.
ETA- It also bothers me that everyone was writing him off just a few months ago, casting him as Sparkles and nothing more..it just seems disingenuous now to act like he’s something more

Queen of the Dessert – Gertrude Bell? Yet another film with costumes. Rob should stay away from period films if he wants to remove that Twilight stink. He should do supporting roles on a comedy film or a Wes Anderson movie. Rob is a likable guy but no one sees that coz he chose to play emo or angsty roles on movies.

It’s the psycho ravings of a deranged Kristen fan. That person has been posting that list on various sites for years and is a known threat to Rob’s security team.

It’s not from Stewart’s camp. It’s from an internet troll/Pattinson stalker. She’s been at this for years, on every website that allows unmonitored comments. Half of those rumors she made up herself, then she posts on every site imaginable. She sends to HollywoodLife and other bogus sites, who then go ahead and write stories based on her drivel. Complete whackjob.

I don’t get the comments that Rob is all mature, because this guy for years has been giving interviews that always self Self-deprecating now all of a sudden he doesn’t want to talk about his feeling.
Sorry folks people don’t change that fast. Yes he has a PR and they are working overtime.

Huh? What does “self decating” mean?
Rob has never spoken about his private life ever. FACT.
Rob does not have a PR team. FACT.
The Rob I’ve seen over the past 2 days is the same self-deprecating, charming Rob I’ve seen in tons of interviews. The only thing that’s changed is that he appears to be anxious and embarrassed at having to field questions about the cheating scandal. And yet, he’s still out there promoting his movie like a BOSS.
You need to get your facts straight and maybe use words that actually exist.

FFS, people are acting like this scandal has made him this awesome, incredible person who’s bursting with talent and noblesse-oblige. Give me a f*cking brake. He’s still a one note actor with great interview-side manners and an odd face. He’s as talented as Lipbite McLewd. The significant difference is that he knows how to poke fun at himself and how not to appear like a giant douchebag.

I disagree with your assessment of Pattinson’s acting skills; I think he’s a fairly decent actor, not great, but reasonably good; but I almost fell out of my chair laughing at “Lipbite McLewd”. Can I steal that? (I’m stealing it anyway.)

I have no copyright on it, so all’s good.
As for Pattinson, perhaps I should have mentioned that, unlike Lipbite’s case, I still have some hope of being proved wrong regarding his talent. I guess I’ll have to see Cosmopolis and see where that leaves me.
But it chafes me so hard that he’s going to play a role Peter O’toole absolutely owned. I do not think that at the moment he is capable of pulling it off. But if I’m proven wrong, I’ll actually be happy for the guy.

In many of the publicity shots I saw of Kristen and Rob, it always seemed like he was making an effort to make HER comfortable, not ever the other way around. I often saw shots of him looking at her, but she was never looking at him, almost never. I often wondered if she took him for granted, maybe didn’t even love him, I didn’t really know. Her pics, her on-air interviews & her written interviews all make her appear a bit immature and self-absorbed, but I never got that feeling from Rob. He has always appeared to be more mature and professional. I think its a good thing this happened so that he can have the chance to move on to someone more deserving of his attention. Kristen just needs to do some soul searching and growing up.

He has class and he has poise. I’m loving seeing Kaiser get all Twihard, I’m turning into one too now. Amazing, what if this helps the franchise by somehow influencing all of us who couldn’t care less before to want to go see the new one, simply because we are so proud and enamored of Rob? Brilliant. It’s like suddenly I’ll do anything for him, he’s such a class act. I swear all of this is just going to guarantee the longevity of his cult following.
