Robert Pattinson ... Who?

EW Interview Teaser: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Address The ‘Rape’ Comment

Entertainment Weekly sat down with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner for a feature interview running in this week’s magazine to discuss the world they inhabit within the Twilight universe, both on screen and off. In today’s preview, the stars open up about the glare of the media spotlight and how its intrusiveness recently led Stewart to compare it to rape — a comment she has since apologized for.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you feel more at peace about being in the spotlight these days?
KRISTEN STEWART: I just feel more comfortable, more myself, and I feel less bare. I feel much more like nobody can take anything from me. Before, I felt literally like my chest was cracked open and people could just reach in and examine and pick at anything they wanted, and it just freaked me right out.

You got a lot of criticism recently for comparing the intrusiveness of the paparazzi to rape. The comment got blown out of proportion very quickly, and you apologized.
STEWART: I’m so sensitive about stuff like that. That is the one subject that means a lot to me. I made one movie directly concerning it [2004's Speak], and I made another one where my character has a horrible history of rape [2010's Welcome to the Rileys]. I talked to a lot of people about it. I used the wrong word. I should have said “violated.” But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I just feel like people got so excited once they saw that it was me. It was like, “Sweet! Let’s get her!” And then for the people to exploit it under the guise of being morally upstanding is disgusting — and it embarrassed me because I was a part of it.

Did you see it all unfold and then think, I have to issue an apology?
STEWART: No, I was in Korea when it all got bad. My publicist called me and said RAINN had issued this terrible statement.
ROBERT PATTINSON: Who’s Rain?
STEWART: You know, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
PATTINSON: None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first — who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy. And it’s quite good being part of these Twilight films because you have to give so many interviews all the time, you can defend yourself. That’s the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.
STEWART: See, if I said that? Crucifixion. You can say so much more than me. It’s insane.
PATTINSON: That’s not true at all. When did I say anything [controversial]?
STEWART: You’re really good, but you could say, “I just took a s***on the Queen’s face,” and people would be like, “Oh, I love him! I love him!”

In an interview with the New York Times, Robert Pattinson admitted he’s suffering from a bit of Twilight-fatigue and that “it can get a little boring. The good news is that the whole thing is done in seven months.” I’m sure poor R-Pattz will be beset on both sides for such a candid comment. At one end he’ll get it from die-hard Twilight fans who will brook no insults — real or imagined — directed towards their beloved series of books, movies and plush duvet sets. On the other side will be all those who find it difficult to empathize with an incredibly good-looking actor who has the starring role in a billion-dollar movie series and no shortage of job offers. But come on: Don’t you feel just the teensiest bit sorry for Robert Pattinson?There’s the obvious reason to feel bad, of course. Who among us could stand the sheer, numbing hell of being followed around night and day by relentless paparazzi, having every little minutiae of our lives ruthlessly examined and dissected by a million little blogs, chomping away like insatiable mosquitoes? Imagine not having a private moment to yourself for three, four, five years and counting.

But, some may say that such tabloid attention comes with the job of being a famous actor. Sure, I suppose — but it’s his actual job where Pattinson gets the most sympathy from me. He’s an actor and the role of Edward is a horribly, horribly dull one.

Edward glowers, Edward mopes, Edward stares moony-eyed at just-as-dull Bella and mouths the worst, schmoopiest dialogue this side of a 14-year-old girl’s LiveJournal page. He doesn’t really grow or change in the movie — he loves Bella from start to finish — and doesn’t engage in much conflict outside of the odd, hasty fight scene. He has no arc, no development, no story. Wouldn’t you be bored to tears after three years of such stultifying nonsense? And then have to do press for it? Answer question after question about your nothing character who does pretty much nothing? I’d be champing at the bit to get the hell out of Dodge after playing such an empty fart of a character for four years, too.

So, have some courtesy for poor ol’ Rob. Yes, he’s rich and famous and obscenely handsome. But, like US Weekly tells us, he’s a star just like us — stuck in a boring job he hates and can’t wait to leave.

Robert Pattinson’s “Water For Elephants” & “Bel Ami” On Shockya’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Period Films of 2010

2. Water For Elephants
What’s this, another Robert Pattinson film? Of course, he is the hottest thing in Hollywood right now. He plays a veterinarian who joins a traveling circus in the Great Depression. Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz star in this heart felt film about a torn love between his character and the married Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and his new way of training a stubborn elephant that should get the approval of PETA.

8. Bel Ami
The Story of the rise to power of Georges Duroy in Paris by manipulating the city’s most influential and wealthy women. This film stars Twilight’s Robert Pattinson and many are anxiously waiting to see if Robert can hold his own against Hollywood sirens like Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas.

Oh, Robert Pattinson. You sure are dreamy but sometimes you come off as being pretty absent-minded.

We spotted the star with a big ol’ tag hanging out of his pants at the MTV Movie Awards last night. Was he simply so excited to go to the awards show that he forgot to properly remove all of the tags from his clothes? Has he been shopping with Vanessa Hudgens recently?

Of course, the tag could also be an over-sized label for the pants, which we hear is popular with the kids these days. Then again, the label looks like it is made out of paper so it would be too flimsy to be a label that is meant to be kept on RPattz’s beautiful, beautiful pants.

We guess it doesn’t matter if Robert left his tag on his pants, the man could be wearing a burlap sack with pictures of Heidi Montag’s face taped onto his forehead and he would still look lovely.

My comment: I don’t think it’s a tag, I think it’s a label, but I could totally see Rob forgetting to remove the tag… hahahaha

While Robert Pattinson spends his June promoting “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” Summit Entertainment is working its cross-pollination magic by pushing “Remember Me” out on DVD.

Due June 22, the romantic drama starring Pattinson and “Lost” blond Emilie de Ravin touts a major bonus feature — a cast commentary track in which the heartthrob drops serious pearls about his filming experience.

Taking the lead for our favorite factoid: Pattinson’s dirty journaling. Playing the broody Tyler, the actor spent most of the film scrawling mysteriously in a leather-bound notebook. “On set I kept on going up to Rob and saying, ‘You’ve got to write in your journal, mate,’” producer Nick Osbourne said.

Said Pattinson: “I remember writing all these kind of pornographic poems, whenever there was a close-up on it. Horrible, horrible things in bold capital letters.”

We can only hope a man from Nantucket was involved.

Other amazing insights into Rob’s soul include …

His sex scene was scary: Pattinson was “terrified” during his boom-boom moment with De Ravin. More so, he was sympathetic to the director of photography, “who had to look deep into my … crack for a long time.”

His mother was appalled at the thought of a tattoo: Pattinson’s character has his brother’s name inked on his left pec as a memorial. When his mom saw it in the “Remember Me” trailer, she called him immediately. “I was like, ‘Really, do you think I tattooed ‘Michael’ on my chest?”

Fans take note — when in Los Angeles, he reads scripts in a fast-food restaurant parking lot: “I was in an In ‘N Out burger car park where I used to always read scripts. … I realized I liked the character Tyler in the first four pages.”

He’s not shy about his frustrations with the paparazzi: As the film’s New York shoot was plagued with photogs, almost every scene in the “Remember Me” commentary comes with some anecdote about the invasive shutterbugs. “They showed absolutely no respect for anything,” Pattinson remarks.

Big dramatic fight scenes bore him: Pattinson gets roughed up by costar Chris Cooper in the film, and loved every minute of it. “It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had in a scene,” he says of being slammed against the hood of a car. “Normally the fights are so choreographed, it makes it boring.”

Rob does a mean Barney Gumble: Pattinson randomly bursts out in an impression of resident derelict Barney from “The Simpsons” on the commentary track. And it’s actually pretty spot on.

LA Times

Best Kiss: This isn’t even a fair fight. I mean, I suppose there’s an off chance that Taylors Swift and Lautner could win for their lip-locking in “Valentine’s Day.” But odds are that last year’s winners — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson — will once again score the trophy in this category, this time for their kiss in “Twilight: New Moon.” Is anyone else in the field even beginning to approach their level of excellence in the field of face-sucking? Answer: no.

Best Male Performance: Like so many things in life, this award comes down to a question of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. And with Pattinson potentially getting recognition in other categories, I think this Golden Popcorn statuette will wind up in the hands of everyone’s favorite pumped-up werewolf, Taylor Lautner.

Best Movie: The Academy Awards recognized 10 nominees for Best Picture this year. But MTV not only keeps it simple with just five contenders, it also has boldly chosen to recognize only one of those Oscar-approved films: “Avatar.” The other four contenders are: “Alice in Wonderland,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” “The Hangover” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” And, well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which flick will be named MTV’s best picture. Bella, Edward, Jacob: We’re lookin’ at you, kids.
