The Robert Pattinson phenomenon just gets worse and worse. Radar is reporting that just the sight of Robert Pattinson walking into his hotel in New York City was enough to send “a gaggle of screaming, picture-snapping teen-aged girls” into some kind of a fit. Radar is also reporting that Pattz “spent plenty of down time during Monday’s production with his comely co-star, Emilie de Ravin” because apparently, Radar wants Emilie to be killed by a ravenous band of Twihards as well.

But the really interesting story comes from OK! Magazine. It seems that every crew member on the set of Remember Me is totally on edge with all of Pattz fans littered about. One unnamed crew member told OK that the attention Pattz is getting is “ridiculous” and added, “I worked on a film with Jennifer Aniston and it wasn’t nearly this bad… They’ve had to hire security, it’s actually the same company Aniston used.” Perhaps because Aniston isn’t as sparkly and brooding as our little Pattz? Or maybe the Twihards really are that crazy.

As shooting on Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film, Remember Me, heads into the final stretch, producers are doing everything they can to keep their megawatt star from being distracted and their set overrun by fans.

In the last week, R-Pattz name is no longer listed on the day’s call sheet, so that only a select, small group of people on-set know if Rob is involved in that day’s shooting.

The producers also recently held a meeting with the Remember Me crew where they were given explicit rules about how to deal with questions about Rob by either the media or the Twilight hunk’s fan. “They were told not to talk to the press at all,” one insider reveals. “And when they talk on their phones about the shoot, they need to make sure no one else is around. They’ve also started listing these rules on the top of call sheets.”

To ward off some overeager R-Pattz watchers, crewmembers often lie about what’s being shot, telling onlookers that it’s for a commercial or an episode of Law & Order.

“It’s ridiculous,” one crewmember tells OK!. “I worked on a film with Jennifer Aniston and it wasn’t nearly this bad. Older people don’t even know who he is. It’s all the teenagers that literally scream when they see him who make shooting impossible. They’ve had to hire security, it’s actually the same company Aniston used.”

Last week it was reported that the Remember Me producers and crew had constructed a small cubicle-like thing for Pattz, because if he waited to film his scenes just like a regular actor, he would be attacked and swarmed. I called this cubicle thing a “veal pen” and wondered if producers are maybe a little sketched out about the added security costs of working with Pattz. There might come a point when producers are dissuaded from hiring Pattz just because of the craziness that follows him. Let’s hope Pattz isn’t there yet.

Camilla Belle needs to get off my boyfriend. Robert Pattinson is mine! Or Kristen Stewart’s, whatever. All I know is that Camilla Belle is unworthy of Robert Pattinson’s lovely jawline. The National Enquirer is reporting that Camilla and Robert have had an undercover romance for a while now – one of her friends totally sold her out, saying, “She and Rob have been meeting up with each other for months, and she talks about him all the time.” Seriously, get off my boyfriend. No matter that Camilla is still dating Joe Jonas, the oldest virgin Jonas Brother. No matter that Joe’s mother probably thinks Camilla is trying to “seduce” her mama’s boy every two seconds. That could be the explanation for the Pattinson hookup, actually. Camilla needed to get laid. Go ahead, girl. It happens to the best of us:

Joe Jonas is the latest Hollywood hunk to lose his girlfriend to Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson!

Pattinson has secretly been hooking up with Joe’s gorgeous 22-year-old squeeze Camilla Belle, sources tell the Enquirer.

“I’ve known Camilla for most of her life, and I’ve never seen her so crazy in love,” a close friend of the actress told The Enquirer.

While Camilla’s publicist denies she’s been seeing Rob, the friend added: “She and Rob have been meeting up with each other for months, and she talks about him all the time.”

But Joe Jonas isn’t the only guy smarting from 23-year-old Rob’s mega-pull on Hollywood’s young beauties.

Rob was eyewitnessed kissing Kristen Stewart in Vancouver AFTER the cameras stopped rolling on their sequel New Moon.

News of that hookup certainly unsettles Kristen’s steady boyfriend, former “24” actor Michael Angarano, who’se been dating the brunette beauty since she was 16.

Pattinson has also been linked to Emile Hirsch’s friend Erika Dutra, Twilight costar Nikki Reed and actress Shannon Woodward.

“Obviously, Camilla has some competition,” said her friend.

As soon as there was even a whiff of a rumor, Camilla’s people got on it and arranged an outing for her and Joe Jonas. They were practically posing while “grabbing lunch” yesterday in Los Angeles. I seem to remember hearing that Camilla is extremely ambitious, and she has no qualms about using her relationships to get famous. So was the photo-op to contain the damage, or perpetuate the drama? If you were a hot young starlet, wouldn’t you want a rumor involving you and Robert Pattinson? Thought so.

The young stars attended the much anticipated premiere of the film Twilight, based on the first book in popular young adult vampire series by Stephenie Meyer. Advance buzz for the film, which features relatively unknown actors Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart, has been enormous, especially among teens. The film, about a young girl who falls in love with a vampire, is put out by small film studio Summit Entertainment and is expected to be a box office smash. There are three additional books in the series by Meyer and if Twilight is a hit we can expect to see a phenomenon to rival Harry Potter.

The film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke (“13″ and “Lords of Dogtown”), arrives Friday on 5,500 screens with the industry already abuzz with reports about spectacular advance ticket sales. During the last few weeks, I’ve been hearing from studio marketing chiefs, who all seem in awe of the word-of-mouth groundswell for the film.

When the film’s young stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, showed up at Comic-Con last July, they were greeted by Beatlemania-style screams. Last week, 10,000 kids showed up at a Dallas mall to mob them. They’ve been on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and several teen tabloids as well as all over MTV.

But what’s amazing is that one of Hollywood’s biggest studios had the project for years and simply let it go. “Twilight” was originally at Paramount’s MTV Films, which spent nearly two years trying to develop the picture before the studio put the project in turnaround. A second studio, Fox Atomic, also passed on the project before it came Summit’s way.

It wasn’t as if “Twilight’s” teen appeal was exactly a secret. The second novel in Meyer’s series, “New Moon,” debuted at No. 5 on the New York Times bestseller list for children’s books when it was released in 2006. It hit No. 1 the following week and remained in the top position for 11 straight weeks. The fourth installment, “Breaking Dawn,” sold 1.3 million copies in its first day of release. The entire series has now sold 8.5 million copies in the U.S., more than 17 million copies worldwide.

Considered a Romeo and Juliet tale with vampires, you can see Twilight’s appeal among the younger set. At least 250 people camped out overnight to make sure to secure their spot for last night’s premiere.

Expect the stars to earn millions and get a lot more media attention. Pattison, 22, previously played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Stewart, 18, starred In the Land of Women and Into the Wild.

Here’s a trailer for Twilight, which is out Friday in the US.
