The red rope was bursting to capacity at San Diego’s Comic-Con yesterday when the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 panel hit the stage. Front and center was not Robert Pattinson himself but his strange new haircut, which was for his role in that David Cronenberg movie, Cosmopolis, that he’s currently shooting. So Sparkles is doing it for the art, but it still looks like he pulled out the scissors himself, since his movie character apparently goes nuts mid-buzzcut and flees a barber shop. Weird but not surprising for Cronenberg. Anyway, let’s appreciate this from all angles:

Meanwhile, Deadline has a correspondent at Comic-Con who is clearly not a fan of the franchise and describes Sparkles as looking like Gizmo from Gremlins and Taylor Lautner’s neck to Stretch Armstrong. That last one makes sense since Lautner has been rumored for the role for quite some time now, but this writer obviously does not want to be there. Anyway, the panel answered some questions and showed a few clips, one of which was not taken from the book. SPOILER ALERT and SHIRTLESS PATTINSON ALERT:

Now we get to see a clip – a scene Condon says isn’t in the book.

Jacob is getting a medical blood packet from Carlisle Cullen. It won’t be enough, so Carlisle has to get more. Jacob warns him that Sam will kill them. Carlisle and Esme say it’s worth the risk, Bella is family now. Jacob says he can see that; “This really is a family, as strong as the one I was born into.”

Cut to Jacob, with Leah and Seth, in the woods. He’s confronted by Paul and other hostile werewolves. Paul: “This isn’t your territory any more!” Jacob demands that Sam take back Leah and Seth into the clan. Adds: “Tell Sam that when the moment comes, I’ll be the one to destroy it. I’m the only one who can. They trust me.”

End of clip.

Lautner says Jacob in this movie gets his heart crushed and has to mature/take a stand.

New clip: the honeymoon.

Edward carries Bella over the threshold through a rotating glass door. She actually looks slightly tan, and is barefoot. Edward: “I’m nothing if not traditional.”

She sees the four-poster bed, and is clearly excited. He brings in the luggage, kinda embarrassed-looking.

Edward: “You tired?”
She shakes head.
“You wanna go for a swim?”
She nods. “I could use a few human minutes.”
“Don’t take too long, Mrs. Cullen.”

He goes outside to the water and takes his shirt off [Con crowd goes wild]

She goes into the bathroom, and a pop song comes on as she brushes her teeth, hair, shaves legs, picks out underwear, looks all tense. Then she says, to herself, “Don’t be a coward.” She runs outside in just a towel, drops it (seen from behind; sorry, boys!) and goes in the water, where Edward’s bare back awaits. End clip.

What was the cast’s reaction to the birth scene when they read it? Stewart: “I thought it was so cool; we really tried to go as hardcore as we could.” Bella has “always been able to fight harder than other humans because of a little bit of that [indicates Rob] in her – literally!” She realizes double entendre, laughs.

What’s it like for Rob and Taylor to work with beautiful women?

Rob: “I always get asked this, every year.”
Taylor: “And what do you say?”
Rob: “Any answer could be inappropriate.”
Taylor: “There could be worse jobs. It is weird.”
Kristen: “It’s so weird that we’re so hot.”

All cast members say how much they’ll miss it. Taylor says the third book was one he loved but this movie is his fave. Kristen’s favorite book was New Moon, but movie-wise she still loves the first one. “I am so godd-mn nostalgic!” Immediately covers her mouth in horror realizing there are kids in the room.

Poor Kristen just couldn't help herself there, I think. She's like a surly sailor in a miniskirt, but I'm the same way and really have to watch my mouth in public, not to mention around my own kid. For what it's worth, Movieline live-Tweeted Kristen's dirty talk in a slightly flattering light: "Kristen Stewart accidentally swears, catches herself, apologizes adorably for 'the tiny ones in the audience.' #sdcc" Meanwhile, Twitter has presented a not-so-adorable picture of Kristen refusing to indulge fans with autographs outside their San Diego hotel:

[W]hile Rob was more than happy to sign autographs for fans, Kristen surprised everyone by allegedly gave them the cold shoulder.

“Robsten spotted in San Diego!” fan Levi Dailey tweeted. “Fan asked Rob and Kristen for photo with. He said yes, Kristen said No! … I have no idea what they were doing, all I know they came into the hotel. … Rob also signed autographs before going into the hotel. They did come out a stretch limo though.”

“I guess she doesn’t like to be bothered with Rob,” Levi speculates. “Rob doesn’t care as long as he’s not mobbed.”

[From Hollywood Life]

Kristen also reportedly was very crowd-shy when she paid a visit to Rob on the the Cosmopolis set, preferring to stay in her vehicle while Sparkles signed autographs for his fans. Yes, she’s got an attitude, but Kristen doesn’t usually pretend to be anyone but herself unless the studio makes her do so. In fact, she probably received a stern talking-to after her potty mouth on the Comic-Con stage, but at least I can understand why she might not want to interact with the Comic-Con crowd itself, which (according to some) is the very definition of “unwashed masses.” I think it was Eli Roth who once said that after the yearly event, he gleefully indulged in a Silkwood shower.

Still, Kristen can get away with not loving her public as long as this Twilight madness carries her less than ideal behavior. Afterwards, she’ll really have to prove herself as an actress, and part of that process is endearing herself to the public. It’ll be semi-interesting to watch all of that shake out in the future.

I’ve been calling this for a little while now: something is going on between Kristen Stewart and her On the Road costar Garrett Hedlund. Granted, I don’t know if they’re hooking up right now, but I guarantee that one or both of them wants the hookup to happen, and that the hookup WILL happen at some point. Maybe they’re just “friends” who “respect” each other and it’s not about sex. But isn’t this how Kristen played it when she was technically dating Michael Angarano, yet “hanging out, friend-style” with Robert Pattinson? Sidenote: This is why I have never bought Kristen’s “I’m just so shy and awkward” excuse for her unprofessionalism – because no girl who is truly shy and awkward plays men the way K-Stew does. The way she plays the game – that takes a ballsy, self-assured woman. K-Stew’s awkward act is just a crutch, a public persona, an excuse to be disengaged and “different.” Anyway…

Star Magazine has an interesting story about K-Stew deciding to get “revenge” on Sparkles because he’s been flirting and partying while filming in Toronto. If he has, I haven’t heard about it. But this is all the excuse K-Stew needed to spend lots of time with Garrett Hedlund:

Two can play at that game: Kristen Stewart has spent weeks worrying because her beau, Robert Pattinson, has been partying like a single guy while he’s off shooting Cosmopolis in Toronto, as Star has revealed. So she’s been making a point of having a wild time too. On June 9, she and her On the Road costar Garrett Hedlund carried on until 3 a.m. with Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge at London’s trendy cabaret venue The Box.

Kristen was caught leaving The Roxy in Hollywood with Garrett, just days later.

“Kristen has been hanging out very publicly because she wants word to get back to Rob to make him jealous,” a source close to them tells Star. “It worked. He’s been calling a lot and asking why she’s with Garrett so much.”

Kristen and Rob even got into a big fight over her hunky new BFF, the source says.

“But she’s just happy to be sure again that Rob loves her.”

[From Star, print edition]

Who else thinks this is less about making Sparkles jealous and more about K-Stew either getting some on the side, or arranging her jumpoff, post-Sparkles? I do think Garrett and Kristen are a sexier couple, and I would love if Kristen and Sparkles broke up in the midst of this kind of scandal. But I would worry about poor Sparkles – he is “the one who loves too much” in this relationship, and he would be devastated.

A few months ago, I had a little meltdown over the long-gestating Jeff Buckley bio-pic project. People in Hollywood have been talking about the Buckley bio-pic for so many years, and nothing ever really came together. I hoped it would stay that way. But, some people got their act together, managed to get a decent script and a director, so all that was left was the oh-so-crucial casting of Buckley, the young, soulful singer who tragically died at the age of 30. The leading contenders back in April were James Franco and Robert Pattinson, with other names like Joseph Gordon Levitt and Jared Leto thrown around too. Now Hollywood Life has a “report” based on a know-it-all source who claims that the part of Jeff Buckley has gone to… Penn Badgley?!? NOOOOOO….

‘Gossip Girl’ star Penn Badgley beats out Robert Pattinson and James Franco for the lead role in the much-desired Jeff Buckley biopic movie! A source tells all to HollywoodLife.com

Poor Robert Pattinson! The actor was working hard to score the role of Jeff Buckley, the famous musician who died young at age 30, in a biopic movie about his life. Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley snagged the part instead, a source exclusively tells HollywoodLife.com.

“Robert Pattinson is devastated he’s lost out on the one role he really wanted,” says our insider. “It was down to Rob, James Franco and Penn for the part, and Rob was really pushing himself to get it.”

Our source continues, “Rob hasn’t heard ‘no’ a lot lately, so he’s really bummed. He was passionate about this project.”

Things were looking good for Rob, who was reportedly “obsessed” with landing the lead. Jeff Buckley’s mother and executive producer of the movie Mary Guibert, 62, even weighed in, saying “Robert is a fine young actor. I’m flattered he’s been linked to this project. When the time comes we’ll give everybody an opportunity to be seen and heard.”

Producer Michelle Sy confirmed Rob was “keen” on the part as well, and also revealed they are looking for someone who can “play music and sing”.

Although Rob is disappointed he didn’t get the role, Penn is over the moon. “Penn is thrilled to get this role and thinks it’s the film of a lifetime,” our insider confesses. “He’s been trying to push out of the ‘Gossip Girl’ image and knows this film will be the perfect opportunity to do so.” Congrats Penn!

Jake Scott is set to direct and Ryan Jaffe is writing the script for the highly anticipated movie.

Maybe this is just my denial talking, but this sounds more like a plant from Penn Badgley’s publicist, and Hollywood Life is just giving it a Sparkles-centric spin to make it more interesting. Unless Sparkles was asking for a truck-full of cash and a shovel-full of cocaine, I just don’t see how any producer or any studio would choose Penn Badgley over Robert Pattinson. What in the world does Penn Badgley have? He used to “date” Blake Lively (during which time she was boning other dudes). That’s about it. If this report is true, my mind if officially blown.

By the way, the last time I discussed this, I suggested Michael Fassbender for the Buckley role. That still holds, bitches. I will accept Fassbender, or James McAvoy. If they aren’t available, Sparkles really is the only other option.

Here are some newish photos of Kristen Stewart arriving in London yesterday. She and Robert Pattinson spent the weekend together in LA, and I’m not really sure why she’s in London now. Sparkles flew back to Toronto, where he’s filming. Perhaps K-Stew is taking another English lover? According to the British rag, The Mirror, K-Stew was seriously pissed off at Sparkles for “snubbing” her during their “Best Kiss” win at the MTV Movie Awards. You might remember that Sparkles ran off into the audience to makeout with Taylor Lautner… apparently, K-Stew let her lip-biting bitch rage:

AS 7,000 fans watched in stunned disbelief Robert Pattinson snubbed Kristen Stewart and snogged her mate instead. Her male mate. So it’s little wonder that Kristen sank her fangs into R-Patz just minutes after the pair collected their gong for Best Kiss at the MTV Movie awards. The on/off couple briefly returned to off as the actress tore a strip off the vampire heart-throb, screeching across the VIP area backstage: “You made me look like a total jerk out there!”

As the British actor, 25, tried to defend himself, she raised a “talk to the hand” palm and brushed past him.

And when R-Patz again tried to defend himself, she muttered, “Don’t even bother,” before flouncing off into the main auditorium.

But love always finds a way. So the star ran after her again and – after three minutes of heated debate – all was once again well with the young couple. Trouble initially flared when they went on stage to receive their gong – the third time in a row they have been crowned best kissers – surely an Oscar category for 2012?

Twice before they have refused to recreate their snogs on the awards stage, but this time Kristen suggested the pair give the chanting fans what they wanted – a full-blown smacker. Leaning in, she was all-set for a tongue sarnie… until, Rob deadpanned: “I feel bad because I don’t feel like kissing you. You don’t want to kiss me, do you?”

Refusing to give up, the 21-year-old actress replied: “It’s been a long time and I think maybe we should finally go for it.”

R-Patz disagreed. Shaking his head, he continued: “I just think there’s someone else in the audience who will appreciate it a little more.”

Then, jumping into the crowd, he grabbed Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner, and kissed him full on the mouth. As the crowd, mostly teenage girls, shrieked, Rob dusted himself off and planted a delicate kiss on Taylor’s hand.

Despite her public humiliation, Kristen and Robert patched up their differences, and were later holding hands and giggling.

[From The Daily Mirror]

Yeah… do you believe this? Historically, Kristen Stewart HATES showing any kind of affection in public. She hates the very idea of presenting herself publicly as anything other than a surly, angst-ridden, lip-biting, slouchy troll. She would never be mad at Sparkles for NOT kissing her in public. The last time he tried, she rolled her eyes and moved away. Besides, all of the behind-the-scenes stories from the after-parties had Kristen and Sparkles all loved up:

It’s Robsten like we’ve never seen ‘em! Despite having won Best Kiss (duh) and once again opting out of an on-stage acceptance smooch, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart did indulge in some major PDA at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty at Soho House in West Hollywood:

Kisses! Hand holding! Giggling! Flirting! Yup, it was all there and they weren’t afraid to show it off…in public!

“Rob and Kristen kept walking away from the crowds to have private moments with each other,” a fellow partygoer dishes to us. “Kristen was showing Rob something on her cell phone and the two were laughing about it. He couldn’t keep his hands off her, and she was smiling the entire time. They were definitely enjoying themselves at the party.”

And after K.Stew changed out of her red leather Balmain mini dress she wore to the show, the starlet got comfy by throwing on her signature checkered sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a ripped white T-shirt that exposed her black bra. Rob rocked jeans and a baseball cap to attend the swanky after bash.

“Rob and Kristen seemed really comfortable with each other and with showing their affection in public,” adds our eyewitness. “At one point, they sat down at a table with Emma Stone and her friends and kept playfully touching each other and stealing quick kisses throughout the convo. Both were in great spirits.”

[From E! News]

I simply don’t get it. I really don’t. I really thought that Sparkles would be done with Kristen by now, but it really does look like Sparkles is “the one who loves too much”. Eventually, Kristen will break his heart. And at some point, he’ll realize that there are less surly fish in the sea. But for now, they’re good.

Kristen Stewart’s face is going to drive me to drink. Within the first hour, I saw too, too much of her little troll-face, rolling her eyes, slumped over in her chair, forcing the awkwardness. But I’ll give her some credit – while she’s not good at sitting through an awards show without rolling her eyes and acting like an immature 11-year-old, she’s getting much better at the red carpet stuff. In photos from the red carpet, Kristen actually smiles in some frames, she stands up straight (sort of), and she puts in a little effort at acting like she’s happy to be there. As for the fashion – this dress is “the safety pin Balmain dress”. Very short! K-Stew loves her mini-skirts, and she loves her metallics and metal embellishments, and it’s nice to her in red. It’s a cute dress, totally appropriate for the occasion, but skirts this short always give me anxiety. I worry about these young starlets and whether their biscuits will get cold.

Since I don’t want to devote another post to it, let’s just power through all of the Twihard stuff now, okay? As I put up last night, there’s a new trailer for Breaking Dawn, and it involves thrusting and wood splinters (and bad acting). In addition to introducing the new clip, the Twilight people took home five awards: Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Movie, and Best Male and Female Performances for K-Stew and Sparkles. I saw Sparkles accept three awards – best performance, where he got up there solo, seemed rather charming and low-key, and then Best Fight, where he was up there with Bryce Dallas Howard and he made a crack about her being pregnant now. Cutaway to K-Stew who gasped, hunched over and rolled her eyes. Hand to God.

But my favorite moment was when K-Stew and Sparkles won Best Kiss and instead of doing their patented BS “we won’t kiss on demand” stuff that they’ve done for the past two years, Sparkles ran out into the audience to make out with Taylor Lautner. Now… I think Lainey has it right about Lautner. He’s a mini-Tom Cruise, in every way. Lautner’s forced wholesomeness is its own kind of kinky, and one of the funniest stories Sparkles ever told was about having to grab a shirtless Lautner in a scene, and Lautner’s nipples getting hard. So, was Sparkles just having a bit of fun with Lautner’s homoerotic crush? Is it cruel? Or is it just kind of sweet and funny? Sparkles won me over when he kissed Taylor’s forehead and his hand. Sweet boys.

Here is an open post for tonight’s MTV Movie Awards, otherwise known as “The Global Twihard Panty Explosion Event”. Yes, not only will Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson be IN THE AUDIENCE (ZOMG!!!), not only are they up for BEST KISS (ZOMG!), but they will be introducing a clip from Breaking Dawn. Because I’m awesome, I bring you what I think the “clip” will be – this brand spanking-new trailer, the first full-length trailer for the film. Beware, at first I thought this was a spoof trailer, because the music and the acting was so overwrought and dumb. But then it gets good.

OMG, I love that little clip where Sparkles is thrusting so hard he, like, breaks the hotel suite and you can hear “wood” splintering (is it wood or the Sparkledong?). Also, the shot of her in her wedding dress… um, can she close her mouth even ONCE?

Anyway, I’m sure the MTV Movie Awards will be full-throtle Twihard, so you should plan your drinking games accordingly. Every time K-Stew bites her lip? Every time she rolls her eyes? Every time she dodges whenever Sparkles tries to touch her? You guys would need to be hospitalized.

So… I’m going to watch it for a bit, but I won’t be updating or anything (The Killing is on tonight!). We’ll have full coverage of all of the stuff tomorrow.

This new “ZOMG BREAKUP” story comes via Star Magazine (Jezebel), so it’s probably nothing. But it still gave me pleasurable goosebumps, just because it’s going to be such an amazing day in the gossip world when Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson split up officially. I don’t think it will happen until next year, though, so mark your calendars! Anyway, Star reports this week that Sparkles hasn’t been all up on the Lip-Biter’s grill lately, which is new. Usually Sparkles is “the one who loves too much” and the one who loves some PDA because he adores his girlfriend. Kristen is almost always the one “playing it cool” and seeming to “keep her options open.” According to Star, Sparkles has been partying in London (and perhaps Canada) without Kristen. He “seems bored” with the relationship, according to sources, and he’s been ignoring Kristen’s calls, which makes her weepy and infuriated. A Sparkle-friend says: “He drinks and flirts and acts like a single guy when she’s not around.” Yeah… I still think Sparkles is the one who loves too much in this particular relationship.

In other Sparkles ‘n K-Stew news, did you know that they’re up for “Best Kiss” at the MTV Movie Awards AGAIN?!?!? And they’re both expected to show up, according to the most recent reports, which means we’ll get another awkward, lip-biting performance when they “win”. MTV also announced that Sparkles, K-Stew and Taylor Lautner will be introducing never-before-seen footage from Breaking Dawn during the awards show. Here’s a teaser:

ZOMG!!! I like her veil clip thing. The wedding looks pretty!

For the past few days, I’ve been seeing photos from the set of Cosmopolis, which is the David Cronenberg-directed film starring our beloved Sparkle-pants, Robert Pattinson. Here are some fresh photos from the NYC Toronto set – I really, really enjoy Sparkles’ hair already. They’re made his hair slicked down, and I think he’s wearing a suit for a large chunk of the film, which is nice. It’s great to see him dressed as an adult, it’s nice to see him without the dirty, smelly bird’s nest hair, and it’s nice to think that Sparkles will continue to work beyond the Twilight series. My only quibble with Sparkles in these candids is that his posture – his normal, every day, going to work posture – is horrendous. He’s a tall boy – he should own it! There’s no need to stoop, Robert.

Sparkles also has a new, young, pretty costar who doesn’t bite her lips compulsively, nor does roll her eyes whenever someone tries to talk to her. I’m just guessing. Her name is Sarah Gadon, and she’s already been marked for death by rampaging Twihards. Here’s a photo (courtesy of Caitlin Cronenberg, the director’s daughter) of Sparkles and Sarah together.

Robert Pattinson’s new sexy leading lady is getting sweet revenge on Kristen Stewart. Actress Sarah Gadon first tried out for the coveted leading part in Snow White and the Huntsman — but Kristen snagged her dream role! So what did Sarah do? She landed a part opposite of Kristen’s boyfriend Rob, playing his wife in the film Cosmopolis, which started filming in Toronto last week.

While Kristen got the big starring gig as Snow White, Sarah gets to spend all day with Rob for two months straight — and likely share some on screen smooches with the Twilight hunk while they film Cosmopolis together.

We’d say playing Rob’s estranged wife is a pretty nice consolation prize and from the looks of their interactions on set, Sarah and Rob seem to be getting along just fine.

So who is Sarah Gadon?

The 24-year-old Toronto native got her start as a ballet dancer before she began guest staring on teen shows and TV movies such as the Disney Channel’s Cadet Kelly, which starred a then 14-year-old Hilary Duff. The past year has been the biggest year yet for Sarah who has three other movies coming up including A Dangerous Method with Keira Knightley and Viggo Mortenson and Dream House with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.

But it’s safe to say playing opposite of Rob in Cosmopolis will be her biggest career highlight yet. The film centers around a day in the life of Rob’s character, Eric Packer, a New York stock market multi-millionaire. Cosmopolis started filming May 23 in Toronto and runs through July 21, according to the movie’s Facebook page. Snow White and the Huntsman is currently in pre-production.

[From OK! Magazine]

Yeah, that sounds like a press release from Sarah’s publicist. Oh, this will get GOOD. If Sarah’s the kind of girl I think she is (please, God), then she’s going to try to get into the sparklepants. And when she does, all hell will break loose. *fingers crossed*

The circle that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart run in is extremely incestuous. There’s an international group of young 20-something actors who are friends or friends of friends, and they all constantly date and breakup and have little minidramas. Like high school, just with money and private jets and tabloids. One of the dudes in the group is a young British actor named Tom Sturridge. We’ve heard about Tom before – he’s been in a few movies (Pirate Radio), he’s BFFs with Sparkles, and he recently worked with K-Stew. There was a report that Sparkles was jealous of Tom’s time spent on-set with K-Stew, and that K-Stew was trying to “breakup” Sparkles and Tom’s friendship. It was all very funny.

Anyway, Tom is currently dating Sienna Miller, she of the vagina of doom. I’m not sure if they’re really “officially” dating, but they’ve been hanging out a lot, and Sienna’s not denying it lately. So, when Sparkles came to London for the Water for Elephants premiere, he threw a little party at his hotel, and Tom and Sienna came by. And by that I mean that Sienna stayed past 3 am and now K-Stew is convinced that the vagina of doom has destroyed little Sparkles:

Does absence make the heart grow fonder… or wander? When it comes to boyfriend Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart suspects the worst – and she’s not putting up with it. When sexy Sienna Miller was spotted leaving Pattinson’s hotel in London at 3:15 am, following a rowdy night of celebrations for his Water for Elephants premiere on May 3, Kristen was quick to call him on it.

“Kristen has a tearful fight with Rob during a transatlantic phone call last week,” an insider tells Star. “She was furious and called him to ask what he was doing. They ended up getting in an ugly fight.”

To make matters worse, Kristen has never trusted Sienna, who’s been linked with Rob’s best friend, actor Tom Sturridge.

“She has thought for a while that Sienna fancies Rob, ever since she started sending him a barrage of texts last year.”

Says the source: “Sienna’s always texting Rob, asking if he wants to meet up when she’s in LA. It really infuriates Kristen.”

Though Rob has insisted Kristen has nothing to worry about, she’s never been convinced. On May 8, the couple met up in Toronto, where Kristen confronted him face-to-face.

“Kristen and Rob hadn’t seen each other for a while, and she wanted to talk to him and see where they stood. Rob assured her nothing happened with Sienna or anyone else – and that he was completely in love with her.” It seems to have worked: “Kristen is madly in love and willing to overlook one bad night.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

I heard some mutterings about this as it happened, and from what I remember, there wasn’t much to the story. I think Sienna even left the celebration WITH Tom. It doesn’t rule out a hipster orgy, of course, but I tend to believe that the vagina of doom is biding her time. Especially if Sienna is texting Sparkles even half as much as this report. I’ll believe most anything about Sienna, because I think she’s That Girl. That Girl who texts a dude with a girlfriend incessantly, asking when they can hang out, where should she go when she gets into town, will he come meet her for a late drink? And DOOM comes barreling through the door. BAM! Two seconds later, Sparkles is sitting on a yacht, Sienna’s topless, the paparazzi are snapping away, and K-Stew is furiously biting her lip and rolling her eyes.

Here’s a photo of Sienna leaving Sparkles’ hotel that same night/morning – I think that’s Tom behind her:

I’ve known Robert Pattinson was and is a boozehound for a long time. There are stories about him during production of the first Twilight film, sitting in his hotel room, hammered, while all of the rest of the cast were chilling out. Sparkles often references alcohol and liquor in his interviews, but over time, it seems like his life is less alcohol-focused. You know what I mean? When you’re 20, your life can revolve around when and how you’re going to party and get wasted. And then a few years pass and it no longer becomes your focus, although you’re probably drinking and partying about the same. Anyway, The Enquirer claims that Sparkles’ friends and family are worried about his blatant boozehound tendencies.

Robert Pattinson’s drinking problem has his friends and family fearing he’s going off the deep end. In a bizarre British interview, Pattinson recently admitted he’s lonely and often sits in his hotel room getting loaded.

“I just hang there and get drunk,” the actor confessed. “It’s terrible. No one ever asks me to do anything. When I’m not working, I’m still one of those people who calls up their entire phone book to say, ‘Hey, what are you doing? Are you doing anything tonight? Can I go with you?’”

Pattinson has been dating Kristen Stewart since 2009 – but apparently he is still lonely and drowning his unhappiness in booze.

“Rob’s drinking has been a concern for a while now,” a close source told The Enquirer. “He’s adored by millions and his career couldn’t be better, but he’s sitting in hotel rooms waiting for the phone to ring. He sometimes questions his fame and says it isn’t worth it. He’s clearly having issues with stardom and we want him to get help before he turns into a Hollywood casualty.”

Back in September 2010, Robert turned a recording session into a booze-fest where no music was recorded. And his drinking has only gotten worse, says the source.

“It seems like Rob’s been turning to the bottle more and more often. He’s been living the wild life in LA – and needs to get his act together before it’s too late.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

I’m probably going to sound ignorant, but I always feel like the British (and Europeans in general) have a different (better, healthier) attitude towards alcohol and alcohol consumption. I think Americans tend to fetishize alcohol, and when someone drinks too much, they are just labeled an “alcoholic” and told to stop completely. Other countries don’t see it as so black-and-white, IMO. Now, is Sparkles an alcoholic? Or does he just drink to waste time, because he’s bored or whatever? Because it’s fun for him? I don’t know. I would tend to think that he’s not an alcoholic, he just likes to drink, but he could probably stop or limit himself if he wanted. We won’t know until he starts showing up to awards shows, drunk off his ass and slurring his words. Surrressly.

Sparkles: “Does anybody else see that elephant? *HIC*”

Sparkles: “BOOOOOOOBS. *HIC*”
