Rob's transformation from No-Name to A-Lister overnight

To many fans, Rob’s trip to Cannes offered another venue to spy the handsome star in an intriguing environment other than set-stalking New Moon pics snapped in Vancouver.

For me, it marked a time of sadness- a revelation, if you will. I adored reminiscing at bright-eyed (ok, bedroom eyed) Rob talking about becoming a vampire in an indie flick with a sense of innocence, while screaming fan girls made him dart and twitch in horror. It was endearing.Read the whole story, plus a video of Rob's transformed persona interview in Cannes HERE.

New Zealand, New Mexico... Unbound Captives to film in Argentina?

RPattzDaily has a translated article from a reputable source, Clarin, which reveals that Robert may shoot part of Unbound Captives in Argentina:

A local newspaper here (not a tabloid) published a Cannes article yesterday (24th May) saying that Robert Pattinson told them, while they were talking about "New Moon", he'll probably be coming here (to Argentina) by the end of this year to shot a western (Unbound Captives) with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.

Robert Pattinson told to Clarin in an exclusive interview that "I'll probably be in Argentina before the end of the year to film a western."

"We are evaluating the possibility of filming in the south of your country, in Patagonia, at the mountains. It seems amazing to recreate the West in another side," confided the actor, who played 23 years on May 13. "We may also shot in New Zealand," he said. Pattinson is already at Italy shoting New Moon, he'll go to New York from there, to start working on Remember Me, after that, he'll be starting with the filming of Eclipse, the third part of the Twilight saga. After that, he'll be portraying a cowboy at Patagonia.

A little Rob vid spam for a Monday pick-me-up

Thanks to Random Acts of Rob for finding this Robilicious Monday pick-me-up!

I can't title this post about Robert because it involves me spewing the F-bomb. H.O.T.

Lainey's croney, Laura, sat across from Rob at the amFAR benefit and again, this morning, I'm swooning:

I look up to see him walking in, in his fitted tux, no tie, a couple of buttons on his shirt undone, looking absolutely delicious. He's walking like he's on a runway, a far cry from his usual "please don't look at me" gait with slumped shoulders and a ducked head.

He took a seat at a table opposite us, giving me a close and unrestricted view of him and, to quote Lainey, sending my loins into quiveration mode.


So did I shamelessly ogle him for the next two hours? You bet your sweet ass I did!

The boy is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. He chain smokes like crazy, and while I generally find that a disgusting habit, he looks ridiculously sexy doing it. In fact, he looked picture perfect every single time I glanced over at him. He was chatting animatedly with his manager and his agent, laughing and smiling, looking like a guy who was loving his life.


At one point I was jolted out of my lust-induced haze by Lainey who asked me if I was going to, and I quote, "man up and bring it?" I could only reply to her smug little challenge with a death glare because honestly, short of flashing him my boob, what was I supposed to do?

Eventually, Emile Hirsch walked in with his girlfriend and another good looking girl. They greeted Rob and he - get this - looked shy and stared down alternately at the table or at his management team. It was pretty cute actually.


What I didn't find cute was the way Emile greeted Rob - it was a condescending "heyyyyy buddyyyyyyy" and then he proceeded to poach one of Rob's smokes. It was interesting to observe the difference between these two young actors.

Emile walked in muttering something about kicking someone's ass and then loudly gave his pointed opinions on various topics. Rob conversed with him but wasn't nearly as biting or cocky. I'm not saying he doesn't have an edge - I overheard him make some sarcastic remarks and he does love dropping the F-bomb (with that British accent - HOT!) , but overall, he comes across as a much nicer guy.

Buy one, get one free: $55,000 for 2 of Rob's cheeky kisses

From RadarOnline:

Harvey Weinstein targeted Robert on stage in front of the glamorous crowd at the amFAR benefit and "suggested auctioning off an opportunity for someone's daughter to meet and get a kiss on the cheek," a source told E!

"There were two bidders who paid 20,000 euros each for their daughters to have that kiss...Rob agreed to it in his usual brooding, modest way."

Lucky girls! Averaging out at about $55,000, Pattinson demands a nice rate in France.

Pattinson showed to the party as a guest of designers Dolce & Gabbana, where he rubbed elbows with the likes of Bill Clinton, Paris Hilton, Sharon Stone and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.

Rob's Red Carpet Interview- New Moon BETTER than Twilight?!

Short.Sweet.Sexy. As if I weren't swooning enough right now....

Thanks, Amanda!!

Sexiest deets about Robert. Ever. EV-ER.*drops dead*

Detailed account from Lainey and a bit more red-carpet pic spam:

Note: Major swooning will occur after reading about Mr. Hunky Spunk...


We were exchanging stories about psycho stalker exes when Robert Pattinson sauntered in – as I tweeted last night – looking like a boy on top of the world. It’s been a triumphant first festival for him, especially since it’s not like he has a film entry. But Cannes is about the full court pimp. And Pattinson has solidified his new super celebrity status as Summit successfully maneuvered their golden boy through Cannes this week culminating on the carpet last night at Inglourious Bastards where he received a very, very enthusiastic welcome.

Here’s Pattinson arriving last night, a significant improvement from carpets past when I’ve seen him all open mouthed inviting flies. On this night, the amount of closed mouth time greatly exceeded the amount of open mouthed time. That he seemed to catch himself mouth wide open and remind himself to close it again quickly so that there are now fewer photos of his open mouth and this is encouraging and you twi-hards should be very proud of him: when a young star can follow instruction, show improvement, it’s a very good sign.

He looked great. Very, very handsome. And there appears to be a new pout that is replacing the gaping. Excellent.

Also– you know how when you put on a pair of heels you walk differently? More confidently? Your gait changes?

A tuxedo is like high heels for Robert Pattinson. Because he has this kinda dorky unmistakable gait. Bounces up and down, he lopes. Last night though it was like he’d been practising walking too. In his tux there was no loping. It was a good gait. And the good gait continued onto the terrace. Almost a strut. But not like he owned the place.

Pattinson arrived with the same two people who accompany him to these events. And another business person. When they sat down, all of them pulled out their blackberries.

He chainsmoked and laughed a lot and his shirt was open at the neck. When he’s comfortable and out of the spotlight, he hardly touches his hair.

Summit and Pattinson make a great showing at Cannes

Screen Daily reports that Summit and Pattinson are making out like bandits at Cannes:

As Cannes 2009 approached its final days a clear picture emerged of the haves and have-nots, as streamlined teams of buyers focused in on broadly commercial fare with theatrical potential.

Summit International did a roaring trade on its Twilight sequel New Moon and the new Robert Pattinson title Remember Me, while Focus Features International virtually sold out on the upcoming Kevin Macdonald Roman Britain epic The Eagle Of The Ninth.

Robert Pattinson beats out Brad Pitt as the hottest red carpet hunk

The votes screaming pandemonium of fans speaks loud and clear:

ROBERT PATTINSON OUT-HAWTS BRAD PITT.

From the DishRag:

Sorry Brad Pitt. You are no longer the hottest hunk on the red carpets.

Judging by the screaming Cannes fans at Pitt's "Inglourious Basterds" premiere, "Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson has now earned that title.

Wonder if Rob even turned Angelina Jolie's head?

Plus, Robert looks like he smells FANTASTIC!!

He wore Dior Homme on arrival to Cannes, so perhaps this is a Dior suit?

The 3 hottest people on the planet collide at Cannes

Cover Awards reports this conversation between Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson last night at dinner:

Robert Pattinson made an unexpected stop at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s private dinner in Cannes, France, Tuesday night.

The Twilight star arrived at the Michaelangelo restaurant in Antibes just as the star couple were saying their goodbyes at the Inglourious Basterds fete.

“He arrived as Brad and Angelina were leaving,” a source told Us. “But they spoke in the hallway. It didn’t seem like they knew each other that well, but the conversation was friendly. Brad shouted back to Rob, ‘Go inside and get something to eat.’ They all seemed happy.”

Red carpet Rob at Cannes- Yummy!

CLASSIC Rob- RAWR.

Red Carpet at Cannes- Rob's pout is working for him

Lainey's twits about Rob on the red carpet right now are too priceless not to share:

How many more days of Cannes? *yawn* A condensed recap of yesterday's Le grand journal with yummy pics

Yesterday's video of Rob at Le grand journal along with translation:


Q : About Ken Loach movie
A : He is not a Manchester supporter, but rather an Arsenal supporter.

Q : Each time Robert Pattinson goes somewhere, hundreds of fans follow him - like when he arrived in the Nice airport the day before - and thousands of websites are about him. So how do you manage the fans, the hysteria ?
A : I don’t pay attention to it. I think of other things. If I did, I wouldn’t know who I am anymore, what kind of person I am.

Q : You are staring in Twilight 2 : New Moon, you’re still playing a vampire. Is the shooting almost done ?
A : I just have four more days of shooting in Italy.

Q : Could you give one or two secrets about New Moon ?
A : Well, it’s a book already. If you have read it, you already know what’s happening in the movie. I break up with Bella and she finds someone else.

Q : But you come back in the end. And you’re in the movie. Fans were worried, because in the book, your character is not a lot in it. Reassure your fans.
A : I’m in it, I come back as a ghost in Bella’s hallucinations.

Q : Did you expect the movie to be that successful when you signed for it ? With all the medias involved ?
A : No, not at all. I’m amazed. And absolutely not used to it. It was a small production when I signed.

Q : I discovered that when you check in in hotels, you check in under a penname/pseudonyme. You did it in Paris. Clive Handjob ?
A : Yeah, it was that.

Q : Do you like staring in Twilight, or do you want to play something else, play in other kind of movies ?
A : Since it was already planned to be a trilogy, I’m focused on it for the time being. After that, I might do something else. For now I’m doing this.

Q : There’s also a movie about Dali. You play Dali in a movie.
A : Yeah, right. We talked about it last month.

And some juicy pics from Socialite Life:

Video: Robert Looking Drop Dead Gorgeous at Cannes *drops dead from gorgeousness*

Video of Robert at Cannes... my heart just sank into my stomach for two reasons:

A) The obvious. His bedroom eyes captivated me and seared naughty thoughts into my brain.
B) The yells of the paps and snaps of the cameras always take me aback. I HATE that part of it.

Thanks for the swoon, Robsessed!
