Robert Pattinson Daily

Twi-hards aren't the only ones who want to get into Robert Pattinson's pants. British department store Marks & Spencer announced plans to launch an underwear line inspired by Robert Pattinson's tight trouser look named R-Pants, the Guardian reports.

The collection will include low-rise briefs and trunks designed for a slim fit, meaning they won't bunch up under tight pants like the kind that R-Patz and the hipster types typically wear (though, despite zooming on his photo 400 percent in Photoshop, it can not be confirmed that he wears briefs). They hit stores in September.

And while the line is inspired by R-Patz, he's not officially involved, nor will he be part of its ad campaign. Sigh. Our dreams of seeing him lounging in his manderwear are crushed! Though, if he was, we imagine the ads would look a little something like this (see right). Only with less pecs.

+ Would you buy Robert Pattinson-inspired underwear? Should he be the face of an underwear line?

Reaching a boiling point after being followed around all day, Robert Pattinson was spotted getting into it with paparazzi in Venice, California on Saturday evening (July 24).

The "Twilight" hunk started off his afternoon by making his way to Malibu, where he dropped by a local theatre before spending time at a fun-filled house party.

While Rob was still in high spirits at the time, his mood completely changed upon finding the pesky shutterbugs waiting for his exit from the weekend fete.

An onlooker in Venice tells, "Robert got really upset seeing photographers waiting outside for his picture and following him home, as he stopped twice asking the photographers to leave him alone."

With the Edward Cullen actor waiting nearly 45 minutes during each stop, the insider adds, "Robert came out of the car and confronted the photographers and talked to them - explaining they wouldn't find out where he lives."

With his pleading ways not working, Pattinson then asked for the cops to help, but they didn't seem to care - which made him even more upset as he finally caved in and headed back to the homefront.

They were filming "Water for Elephants" on location yesterday. Synopsis: Jacob Jankowski is about to take his final exams in veterinary medicine at Cornell when his parents are killed in a car accident. He drops out and joins Benzini Brothers, a second-rate traveling circus trying to survive during the Depression.

I want to buy this magazine!

I am so hyped up for this movie! I know it's going to be great. I hope it does well on the Box Office. 'Remember Me' didn't do so well and people are already calling Rob a flop etc etc. So this movie really needs to do well. Hopefully!

NY1 Interviews Robert Pattinson on his new movie 'Remember Me'!

Overnight Robert Pat­tin­son became an inter­na­tional star thanks to the role of Edward in the Twi­light Saga. The story of love between a vam­pire and a reg­u­lar girl cap­tured hearts of peo­ple all over the world. We met up with him in New York where he attended the pre­miere of his new movie ‘Remem­ber Me’.

You must be really happy that with that movie you can change your pub­lic image a bit, you smoke and drink all the time in it, get into fist fights, you’re no longer just that ‘pretty boy’.

Yeah, that’s one of the things that I liked the most about that movie. After the first fight, no one even thought about that ear­lier, I have mas­sive cuts and bruises all over my face and they stay for the dura­tion of almost the whole movie. It’s an inter­est­ing romance, just imag­ine that some­one is try­ing to hit on you look­ing like that [so unat­trac­tive]. In the scene when I meet Ally for the first time, when I was read­ing the script I didn’t real­ize that my whole face is going to be bruised, I mean imag­ine a guy try­ing to impress a girl hav­ing a black eye [every­thing is writ­ten on his face] yeah. It was a cool scene.

Do you pre­fer real­is­tic movies like that one, or maybe the fan­tasy world like Twilight?

I don’t know. That script seemed just very hon­est and real, you don’t get some­thing like that too often, but some­times, real­ity can be just incred­i­bly bor­ing and fan­tasy is just more fun to play. But in that script there was just some­thing very spe­cial, I’ve never seen a movie like that. Gen­er­ally though, I don’t have any spe­cial preferences.

Are you kind of tired of fame because of all the chaos that hap­pened after Twi­light, are you both­ered by the whole inter­est? Does it make your life very difficult?

Some­times. I mean, like when I’m in New York and I can’t go out at all. [Or any­where in the world prob­a­bly] Some places, in some places it’s eas­ier, there are places where people’ve never heard of Twi­light [well don’t come to Poland then] Oh yeah? They’re big fans? [oh yeah, they all know you]. It can be very frus­trat­ing, but there’s always some way around it, if you plan ahead you can have a sem­blance of a nor­mal life. [Yeah, but in nor­mal life there’s no need for spe­cial plan­ning] I mean I think it pays off, I hate when I go out for din­ner and there’s a whole crowd of peo­ple out­side, and even if I just know that that crowd is there, I just can’t enjoy what­ever I’m doing [because you know what’s going to hap­pen after you leave] Yeah, and so I have to plan to be able to avoid that. But then again there are sit­u­a­tions when the crowds of fans are great, like this morn­ing, when I went to the Today Show. It’s such a sur­real, strange thing, I mean, I’m just 23 and it’s already so mas­sive, it’s like a turn­ing point in my life.

There’s going to be more films in the series so it’s prob­a­bly just going to be esca­lat­ing and last for few more years.

I don’t know how it can really esca­late more, there’s nowhere it can really go [we’ll maybe meet in a year or two and you’ll tell me if it hap­pened] yeah. Just before Christ­mas I was in Munich, I was at a sta­dium and there was 20 000 peo­ple there [scream­ing your name] yeah, and I didn’t even do any­thing, I just said ‘Hi’ and that’s it, it’s com­pletely sur­real, there’s no other word for it.

You must be happy that your career is going the way it is?

Def­i­nitely. There weren’t any bad sides, I mean, I can do movies that I really want to do now [you have a choice and that’s the most impor­tant thing for an actor] yeah, it’s amaz­ing. I mean, there’s a bit more pres­sure on you and what jobs you do, but gen­er­ally it’s great. And I hope that for the next few years I’m just going to have great fun.

IS IT JUST US OR IS EDWARD WAY MORE CASUALLY DRESSED THAN HE WAS IN "NEW MOON"?

"Rob only wore the suit in the last film because of a continuity theme," the costume designer explained. "He wore it for Bella's party, and then he never changed. In 'Eclipse,' he is back at school, and dressing generally, more casual and more relaxed."

As seen above from the gray tee shirt (most like from Banana Republic or GAP), the major color palate for Edward and his family, however, has not been changed: "The whole 'cool' color theme is being continued with 'Eclipse' for the Cullen Clan."

While it might have initially seemed like Robert Pattinson's latest movie, 'Remember Me,' would be generating controversy and debate over whether it proves that the 'Twilight' star has real acting chops, it has actually caused a big stir among critics and audiences because of its incredibly dramatic (and some feel overwrought) final minutes.

Its big twist seems to be overshadowing the rest of the picture for some and is undoubtedly drawing attention away from the fact that, despite its low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film features solid performances from Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin ('Lost').

(SPOILER ALERT! If you have not seen the film and do not want to know the ending, read no further as the climax is revealed and discussed in detail below.)

In the film, Pattinson plays Tyler, a troubled NYU student who lives in a grungy Manhattan apartment despite coming from an affluent home. He is coping with the loss of his older brother, who committed suicide, and when he meets a fellow student named Ally (de Ravin), who saw her mother gunned down by a mugger when she was 5, he finds an equally damaged soulmate. The two both have family issues to contend with -- her overprotective cop father (Chris Cooper), his emotionally estranged lawyer father (Pierce Brosnan) -- as well as the fact Tyler dated Ally initially on a mean-spirited dare from an obnoxious friend (which blows up in his face when he actually falls for her).

By the climax of the film, a lot of family bonding has ensued, and the two lovers have started to heal the rift between them. Then, when Tyler is waiting for his father in his law office (on their own way to making amends), we see him looking out of the window, hopefully. The camera cranes back, and we see that Tyler's standing in one of The World Trade Center's Twin Towers. It's then spelled out -- literally, on a chalkboard in his little sister's classroom -- that the date is Sept. 11, 2001, and it's obvious what's going to happen next. When the devastation comes, it is implied rather than graphically depicted. Still, the event packs 'Remember Me' with a big wallop that has infuriated some viewers and moved others.

Critics have vastly different opinions about the film's jarring denouement:

Rolling Stone's Peter Travers declared in his capsule review: "It's all weepy drool until the twist ending, which is shockingly offensive."

Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post assessed: "The finale manages to be tasteful and exploitative at the same time. It touts forgiveness while being mildly infuriating. Such is the danger of borrowing from the enormous to merely entertain. If that. Forgettable should be the last thing a movie touching on the events of 9/11 should be. Yet 'Remember Me' is just that."

Stephen Whitty of Newark's Star-Ledger, who liked the film, revealed in his review: "Movie fans should know that the story takes an abrupt third-act twist and tacks on the sort of arbitrary, 'significant' ending that's better left to first-year creative-writing assignments."

Rebecca Murray of About.com observed: "Even if you disapprove of just where the film goes, the story building up to the final climatic twist is moving and real."

Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, who liked Pattinson's performance, stated: "Along the way, many people die but few matter: most are just part of the warm-up act as well as the means to a shamelessly exploitative end."

Boo Allen of the Denton Record Chronicle charged: "'Remember Me' wallows deepest in shame by concluding its treacly treatise by drawing on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in a final plea for emotion. Unforgivable."

Audiences seem a little more forgiving. In the 'Remember Me' user reviews page on Moviefone, MissPink1189 writes, "This movie has definitely changed my life ... Some say too soon for an ending like that, but it just makes the story that much better." Jenniebruan22 wrote that she lives in New York, "and I didn't find the end distasteful at all. In fact it made me see the movie in a much more profound way." Says ARod73: "The surprise ending leaves a lasting [message] of living life with a purpose , embracing the small moments of happiness and not waiting to tell someone how you feel, tell them now." Still, Dmachone thinks, "The ending of this movie is unbelievably out of line."

It is understandable that some people found the ending shocking -- there are many New Yorkers and those beyond who lost someone in the 9/11 tragedy -- but when critics use words like "unforgivable" and "offensive," it not only condemns the filmmakers of outright exploitation and tastelessness, but it seems to render the subject taboo in some manner. While for most people the ending will come as a shock, it does add some emotional impact to the story. Could a smaller tragedy have sufficed in place of the Twin Tower collapse? Probably, but somehow utilizing an event that all of us feel connected to adds further impact to the story, and it also contemplates the idea of how many other deeply interwoven stories ended on that fateful day, and what they were like.


One can argue that the inclusion of 9/11 is unnecessary and insensitive, and that such a major public trauma did not need to be part of the film's more intimate story. One could also argue that the film does not linger long on or exploit images of the devastation. We do not see the planes hit the towers, but we do see the smoldering buildings from a distance and watch most of the film's characters looking towards downtown Manhattan in horror, knowing that Tyler is trapped there. We see his diary landing amid the rubble. The events are not used to make a political statement, but a personal one, although they are rendered within an unexpected plot twist that has left many people feeling uneasy or angry.

The filmmakers undoubtedly knew their ending would be polarizing, and Summit Entertainment took a gamble with it. A safe bet would have been to film a less controversial finale. By the same token, 'Remember Me' focuses on the tragedy that befalls us when we live our lives full of conflict, anger and bitterness and fail to appreciate the happy and joyous moments when they come -- or to learn to forgive, make amends and move forward with our lives. And how many of us appreciated those sentiments more after the horrifying shock of 9/11?

'Remember Me' is not the first and will certainly not be the last film to incorporate 9/11 into a cinematic storyline. Like most major tragedies and wartime events, it will undoubtedly be filtered through a pop culture lens well into the future. It is 2010, and we are still making movies about the Holocaust and WWII (for example), and some of them have certainly been politically incorrect and generated debate. Perhaps 'Remember Me' director Allen Coulter and screenwriter Will Fetters were thinking about this when they created this story and brought it to the screen. Or perhaps not. (Coulter has said he was initially tentative about using the ending.)

At least they have us talking, not only about the film's message, but how we are still polarized by and dealing with the aftermath of a major catastrophic event. The emotional conflict that it has stirred is in keeping with the spirit of the film. Better that reaction than indifference.

Every generation of pop culture followers has their bad boy poster child, and Generation Next is no different. But this time, there’s a twist. The bad boy du jour has a dark secret… let’s just say he’s not too worried about longevity, and is little concerned about the competition.

Immortality is a powerful new weapon for the claimant to the screaming teenage heart and Robert Pattinson delivers the goods with not one, but two mystical characters that have been making the ladies swoon.

Pattinson first twisted knickers in 2005 as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but immortality truly arrived when he took up the role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of “Twilight“ based on the wildly popular regular-guy vampire novels by Stephenie Meyer. The recently released DVD is flying faster than bat wings at dawn and the second sequel sequel “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is in post production as we speak. For a bloke who’s been stirring up trouble for such a short time, Robert Pattinson has a very interesting story to tell.

Let’s hear it in his own words:

Like many heartthrobs before him, Robert Pattinson got his start as a teen model. According to his Wikipedia page, Pattinson began his modeling career when he was twelve years old, but it wound down only four years later. He has blamed his lack of work as a model on his masculine appearance. Pattinson explained in December of 2008, “When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career.”

On his sudden fame, Robert Pattinson tells Collider.com, “My brain doesn’t really accept it. So it’s fine. I can be put anywhere and it just goes completely over my head. I just don’t want to get stabbed or something. Literally, my representation asked me, ‘Do you have any problems with this? Is it going to be okay?’ I said, ‘I just don’t want to get shot or stabbed.”

The Twilight star talks to EW.com about landing the role, and the chemistry he felt immediately with co-star Kristen Stewart. There followed a strange couple of years where Pattinson lived off his Harry Potter paycheck, drifting between obscure parts in small films and TV. During a two-week run of auditions in Hollywood, he tried out for the role of Edward Cullen, a teenage vampire who is rich and perfect and princely in the way 17-year-old boys rarely are — and who falls not for the sexy cheerleader but the shy new girl in town.

”I’d read the book and liked the book, but it made me really uncomfortable trying to picture myself in this part,” he says. ”Here’s this guy who seems to be the embodiment of every single perfect guy. Okay, I’m going to look like a complete idiot if I just try to do that — like give a half-Fonz, half-George Clooney impression. I went in thinking I would just break into hysterical laughter. But then I did it with Kristen and it was completely different. We had this chemistry that just worked.”

CelebTV caught up with Pattinson and asked about his love life, or lack of one…

“There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me. I never do anything. There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend. There’s this one girl who’s consistently mentioned. It’s like, ‘He’s dating this Brazilian model.’ What’s her name—Annelyse. I’ve never met her.”

While some rumors link Pattinson to Camilla Belle — who is also rumored to be dating Joe Jonas — the actor admits, “I mean, Camilla’s the nicest—she’s a saint. And it’s funny that she’s being portrayed as this home wrecker. She’s literally the most unlikely person to be a home wrecker. It’s just ridiculous. I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers. I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.”

See what Kristen Stewart has to say about being Edward Cullen’s dream girl Bella Swan in People Magazine:

“Oh, he’s like a little tortured artist. He’s British. He’s tall,” the 18-year-old actress says. “He always looks like he’s thinking about something. And he’s quite witty. So he’s pretty sexy.”

And yes, Pattinson proposed marriage to Stewart on set.

“I mean, I don’t know how serious he was, but yes,” Stewart says. “We spent a lot of time together, a lot of like really heightened time.”

“I can’t remember proposing to her,” Pattinson says, adding that he pops the question to women as a “good conversation starter.” “It used to be my thing, I would propose all the time,” Pattinson says. “Just go up to someone, you know, and say I love you or ask them to marry you. It always works.”

When you are the daydream of the moment, sometimes life is too busy for the fundamentals, like washing up.

Pattinson responds to rumors about his lack of hygiene on MTV.com:

When asked if it was true that he once said he hadn’t washed his hair for six weeks, the actor answered, “Probably. I don’t know. I don’t really see the point in washing your hair.”

He also revealed that if you plan on being an overnight guest at his place, you’d better be prepared for a messy apartment as well. “If you don’t care if your hair’s clean or not then why would you wash it?” he continued. “It’s like, I don’t clean my apartment ’cause I don’t care. I have my apartment for sleeping in and I have my hair for just, you know, hanging out on my head. I don’t care if it’s clean or not.”

It’s not clear if Robert Pattinson intends to clean up his act, but he does have some exciting plans for the future. He talked with Reuters about his future:

Pattinson, for one, is cautious.

“The book of ‘New Moon,’ the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson said. “Obviously ‘Twilight’ was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, and ‘New Moon’ is really about loss and reconciliation. But the reconciliation isn’t completely full.”

“It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story,” he said.

Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make “Eclipse” as big a success as “Twilight" and "New Moon.”
