Robert Pattinson Wows Fans in Lubbock, Texas

Robert Pattinson and some of his friends took a bit of a road trip. they were recognized when they made a pit-stop in a local bar in Lubbock, Texas. The local Fox affiliate has the story.

According to the FOX coverage:

“Brittni Vivion, a waitress at Crickets said Pattinson went unnoticed for almost four hours before the realization set in.

“He came in around 5 o’clock at our happy hour shift. Nobody really noticed that it was Robert Pattinson until about 9 o’clock and finally a couple of bartenders and waitstaff asked him and then he kind of denied it at first and then eventually he fessed up and said that it was him. And so the word got out and about 20 minutes later we had a rush of girls come in. They were just flaunting themselves over him. We finally had to shut the bar down and not let anybody else in cause it was just crazy, said Vivion.”

Pattinson left the bar at closing time through a back exit. Bystander Marissa Mason described the scence (sic)as a chaotic.”

The local newspaper the Daily Toreador has similar coverage, including how word got out after Rob had been there for nearly 4 hours unnoticed. This time it was Facebook that was the culprit, not Twitter.

What’s interesting in all of this is that Lubbock, Texas is one heck of a drive from Los Angles. It makes you wonder how many more places they stopped in between and went unnoticed. Looks like Rob still has a chance at being incognito, especially since he managed 4 hours in a bar without being recognized.

Robert Pattinson on Entourage?

RobMoviefoneSpreadit TV posted the below description of an upcoming episode of Entourage. They seem to be the only site with this information. It’s not reflected on any other source like TV Guide that typically gets the heads up on show content. So, we’re not really sure what to make of this. Possibly they accidentally released a press release early?  The HBO official site for Entourage has nothing on this.

“Mrs. Ari is still fuming over Ari’s angry meltdown the night before, Ari tries desperately to keep her surprise party on track. The guys attempt to stage an intervention for Vince, who has gone off the deep end. Turtle scrambles to find investors to save the tequila business. Eric receives an unexpected request from Terrance McQuewick, which leads him to consider Scott’s business proposal. Robert Pattinson guest stars as Ari’s most difficult client ever.”

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Wikipedia has a pretty good summary:

“Entourage is an American comedy-drama television series that premiered on HBO on July 18, 2004. The series was created and is largely written by Doug Ellin and chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Hollywood, California.

Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson serve as the show’s executive producers, and its premise is loosely based on Wahlberg’s experiences as an up-and-coming film star. The series deals with themes of male friendship and modern-day situations in real-life Hollywood. The show is famously known for its array of guest stars, usually featuring at least two celebrities per episode. It is also heavily credited on the ability of its leading actors to form the male bond of friendship, which is a leading theme on the show. For this reason, the main actors chosen had to be of New York origin in order to bring the utmost authenticity to the bonds formed among the characters.

On August 7, 2010 HBO announced that Entourage would return in the Summer of 2011 for a shortened season, which will be the show’s last. Although the number of episodes was not officially disclosed, the final season will likely contain six episodes. A film is also planned after the series ends.”

The show is highly critically acclaimed winning and nominated for multiple Golden Globes and Emmy Awards each year. If they were to get Robert Pattinson it would be quite a huge thing for both Rob and the show. Big names, such as James Cameron have become the hallmark of Entourage.

Ty to Karen for the heads up.

In the time it took me to write the article, Gossip Cop just debunked the entire story.

EW Sexy Beast 2010 Final Results

It was a very tight race in the final bracket between Vampire Diaries Ian Somerhalder who plays Damon and Robert Pattinson. Here’s what happened according to EW:

“Still, the final Edward-v.-Damon showdown trumped ‘em all. Our polls were open for 72 hours, and midway through the final day of voting, the virile vampires were separated by less than 200 votes. With six hours remaining, and our finalists still locked in a statistical dead-heat, EW.com’s Sexy Beast special-ops team decided to hide our poll results, and began to plan a special issue of Entertainment Weekly commemorating a tournament that had becoming nothing short of an Internet sensation. When the blood, sweat, and broken fangs were wiped away, who was the winner? Let this be the official reveal: Damon Salvatore eked out a mild upset victory over Edward Cullen by a margin of 138,630 to 134,728, a difference of just 3,902 votes.”

Twilight Dominates Glamour Magazine’s Sexy Men List

According to the press release via AHN:

“Robert Pattinson is sexier than Taylor Lautner, but only by a notch, according to 50,000 women who participated in U.K.’s Glamour magazine poll. The vampire and the werewolf of “Twilight” beat out 48 other heartthrobs in the Sexiest Men of 2010 survey.

While Pattinson, 24, isn’t new to the list, in fact he was at the same top spot last year, Lautner, 18, is, and so is the rest of the top five – “Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder and “Twilight” stars Xavier Samuel and Kellan Lutz.

With the exception of Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob in the film series, the sexiest men alive in the top 5 all play vampires.”

The trend is illustrated even further right now with Robert Pattinson battling Ian Somerhalder on the EW Sexy Beast 2010 poll.

Looking forward to next year, there are a whole lot of new vampires about to make an appearance. Whoever, in our opinion, plays Garrett is going to make an HUGE splash in much the way relative unknown, Xavier Samuel, did in Eclipse.

So which of those guys tops your personal list? Pel is wondering how it is that Jackson Rathbone and Peter Facinelli got missed!

Twilight Feelings: Robert Pattinson Mosaic Portrait

According to the New York Times,  a portrait of Robert Pattinson done in a mosaic style is being featured at a New York art show. The piece is entitled Twilight Feelings.

“Is collage inherently subversive? This strenuously lively group show, organized by Paper magazine’s Carlo McCormick, suggests so.

The mischievous tone is set by Mark Flood’s “Twilight Feelings” (2010), a distorted, mosaic-style portrait of the vampire-franchise heartthrob Robert Pattinson. Using multiple copies of the same photograph, Mr. Flood gives the actor a giraffelike neck and sharply protruding chin.”

The show is at 527 West 23rd Street in Chelsea Through Aug. 27

See more at the New York Times.

There is no word in the article if the portrait is for sale, or the exact meaning of the artist. What do you think about the work?

Glamour UK Features: Robert Pattinson, Booboo Stewart, and Alex Meraz

The online version of Glamour UK has an interview with Rob that is mostly Remember Me focused because it just hit DVD format in the UK.

“Q: How do you deal with fame?

A: I just try to keep working. Even ten years ago, Leonardo DiCaprio always talked about being able to take a break away from everything, but I don’t think you can do that anymore. I think you need to capitalize and steer your career at the same time, because I think that, especially with a thing like Twilight, where it is literally such a huge universe…

Q: Is it a burden to you, but it opens doors?

A: It opens doors and it closes others, like anything does. You can say, ‘Oh if I was still unknown, then no one would judge me’, but at the same time, nobody would give a s*** either (laughter). It’s a weird little balance. And most of the time, you are just completely guessing what you should do, so I guess I’m just doing scripts that I think are good.

Q: Did the Twilight fans make shooting Remember Me in New York quite difficult?

A: The fan situation, completely, honestly, they were lovely. They would completely respond to people saying – “Please go and wait over there or something”, even when there were tons and tons of them, but it was like the paparazzi who were unbelievable. They were like jackals.”
