Robert’s Pattinson has been cast in Mission: Blacklist, a film based on a book by Eric Maddox.  The story centers around the man who help capture Saddam Hussein in 2003.  Even though news of Pattinson’s casting is relatively new, the  studio has already released the first poster for the film.  Tell us what you think in the comments!

Robert Pattinson is in good company with singing phenomena Adele and the Harry Potter cast. According to THR

The young entertainment crowd is led by Harry Potter star Radcliffe, 22, who is worth $31.8 (£54) million, the Times said. He has increased his wealth by $9.5 million over the past year, helped by the success of his latest movie, The Woman in Black.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson saw a bigger $12.7 million gain in his net worth over the past year, but comes in second with $63.6 million.

Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson ($41.4 million, up from $38.2 million) and Rupert Grint (unchanged at $38.2 million) rank fifth and sixth on the actors’ list.

Adele, 23, is the young British entertainer who made the biggest jump in the past year. The pop singer more than tripled her wealth thanks to her second album 21 to $31.8 million.

Over the last few days  I’ve watched as story after story popped up about the statement Rob Pattinson made to Reveal Magazine about shirtless acting.  I’ve been waiting for an actual link to the story because we like to credit  the actual source, but so far I’m coming up short.  What I do find is quote after quote from the article and a mass amount of people assuming that Rob was slamming Taylor Lautner for taking his shirt off.  Here is what Rob said:

“It seems like every single actor in the world is doing a Taylor Lautner scene. It’s crazy. They have a scene where they walk out with a 12-pack. It’s like, ‘Really? You’re playing a normal guy. That doesn’t make any sense.”

To me, this isn’t a dig at Taylor but rather a dig at everyone else in the industry trying to pull off a shirtless scene the way Taylor has done.  Do you agree with me?  Let me know in the comments.

Rob also commented on why he’s never hosted SNL or done a comedy film.

“Doing comedy is impossible. I would be terrible. People have asked me to do things likeSaturday Night Live, and there is just no way, not in a million years. That’s just way too scary.”

Actually, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen from anyone in the Twilight Saga was when Rob joined Jimmy Fallon in the tree.

Lastly, Rob spoke about his “wild” days and how he’s changed.

“I used to not care about what anyone thought about anything. Now I’m forced into thinking about things if I want to have a career. Maybe it’s because I’m older.”

”I used to be a little bit wilder, but it’s difficult to do that now. I used to want to do the craziest things, as I had no understanding that I had an audience. All I wanted to do was weird stuff, but it’s different now – people have an expectation. You have to think about things objectively.”

What do you think?  Do you feel Rob has changed over the years?  Do you think he’s less wild now than what he was before?  Tell us in the comments.
