Robert Pattinson Is Not A Romantic
Although he plays a romantic vampire on the Twilight series, actor Rob Pattinson isn't much of a romantic.
"I can't think of a single romantic thing that I've ever done."
But who can blame the guy? Apparently he hasn't had much luck in that area.
"I would never serenade someone to be romantic – you have to have so much balls to do that. I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old, this girl called Maria. She thought that it was someone else and the other guy claimed it as well, which is great."
All that effort for nothing! Lol. However, Rob did say that he can appreciate a good on-screen romance.
"It's like saying guys can't appreciate romance," he says. "I've watched Titanic and I didn't think, 'Oh, this is a girl's film.'" Similarly, he says, "I felt like the storyline in New Moon is very heartbreaking and true. I didn't think I was doing something just for the sake of romance."
Besides having control over his personal life, Rob also likes to have control on how the media perceives him.
"I get quite obsessive about things, and possessive as well," says the star. "I have very, very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived, to the point of ridiculousness sometimes."
"I don't listen to anyone else," he says. "That's why I don't have a publicist – I can't stand it if someone's trying to tell me to do something which might be a mistake."
That's quite an interesting reason for why he doesn't have a publicist. Do you think Rob has handled the media pretty well?

Kayla Ewell Dishes On 'Twilight' Vampires And Her Own 'Vampire Diaries' Co-Stars
I hope Kayla Ewell likes the current popularity of vampires, because it's a big part of her life! In addition to starring in 'The Vampire Diaries,' she's still close friends with her ex-boyfriend, Kellan Lutz, of 'Twilight' fame, and has even met Robert Pattinson. Kayla talked about Kellan and Robert, as well as her own co-stars with OK! magazine.
What is her relationship with Kellan like?
It's fun to call Kellan and run ideas by him. He and I dated for years, when we were younger. We're really good friends still. It's so much fun for us, now, to see each other working and still be each other's support system. He's amazing.
What is Robert like?
He's definitely über-sexy and he doesn't try to be. I remember the first time I met him — I was like, "Oh, hello!" And then he starts talking and that makes it 1,000 times hotter. I'm a sucker for accents and any man who can actually sing and serenade you. He'd do open-mic nights in random bars in Portland, Ore., while they were filming Twilight. I was dating Kellan then and we'd all hang out sometimes.
So what are her 'The Vampire Diaries' co-stars, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley really like?
They're both so sexy! Every day I show up at work and think, "It's not fair that you're this hot!" They're so charming in real life and each has a really engaging personality. Ian is gregarious, the life of the party and the one everybody gravitates toward; Paul is like a secretive, sexy, groovy vampire — he's on the opposite end of the spectrum.
So, who's Kayla's favorite vampire?
Robert Pattinson Opens Up At 'New Moon' Press Conference
At a press conference for 'New Moon' yesterday, Robert Pattinson talked at length about the pivotal scenes in the film (for him), fans' expectations, his first heartbreak, and his reaction to Taylor Lautner's buff physique.
Robert said the break-up scene between Bella and Edward and when Edward stepped into the sunlight in public were major scenes for him.
"There's something weird about [the breakup scene]. One of the main things I felt doing that and what really helped was people's anticipation of the movie, and the fans of the series' idea about what Bella and Edward's relationship is and what it represents to them. It’s some kind of ideal for a relationship... It felt seismic..."
Robert felt similarly about the scene where Edward steps out into the sunlight.
"I just came to a realization about that scene. It was one of the closest moments I really felt to people’s emotional attachment to the character because there were so many extras there who were just Twilight fans, who had flown in to be in the town square. Just taking that one step into the light, it's been the one moment, since the first ComiCon, where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation and responsibility to all the people who are so obsessed with the stories. It was a good moment. It was very nerve-wracking, but I probably felt the most in character that I've ever felt..."

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart In Harper's Bazaar
New Moon's Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart grace the December cover of Harper's Bazaar and share the wild ride that has catapulted them into the spotlight for better or for worse. The magazine gets an inside look at the life of Hollywood's hottest young stars and in the interview the two share their thoughts on each other -- and why Stewart's nickname for Pattinson is Flippy.
Harper's Bazaar's December issue hits stands November 17th.
Stewart calls Pattinson "a great singer. Heartbreaking," while Pattinson says of his costar, "She's a unique girl. You really don't meet many people like Kristen."
When asked who is more romantic, Stewart immediately says Pattinson, adding,
"I'd have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming."
When is Pattinson posed with the same question he quips,
"What did Kristen say?" When he finds out that she pointed at him, he responds, "No. I'm better at faking" and laughs.
Pattison on Stewart:
"Kristen doesn't take an slack. She sticks to her guns - and that's difficult to do."
Stewart on who is more athletic:
"I'm definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes gestures like a penguin]. And God, when he tries to run..."
Pattinson on who googles themselves more:
"[Kristin] would say me, but I reckon it's her. If either one of us catches the other one doing it, we're like, Jesus Christ, is that what you're looking at? And the other one's on their phone pretending to text. I look up my competition more than she does. I'm incredibly shallow. I think she just looks at herself."
Love these two!
Robert Pattinson To Star In 'Bel Ami' Alongside Nicole Kidman
Robert Pattinson has signed onto his next project and he snagged quite a leading actress - Nicole Kidman! The film will shoot in London and Budapest starting February 2010 and is entitled, 'Bel Ami'.
This is story about a young man’s rise to the top of Parisian high society in the 1890s, via the beds of the city’s most glamorous and influential women.
In a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, the film has, say the producers, a contemporary relevance which should resonate with audiences worldwide.
Sounds like there is going to be a few steamy scenes with Rob... I'm in.

Robert Pattinson Addresses Romance Rumors (Again)
It sounds like Robert Pattinson tried to end all speculation about his relationship with 'Twilight' co-star Kristen Stewart, but then 'Twilight' director Catherine Hardwicke just had to chime in
"[We're] good friends," Robert told [Vanity Fair], though he had plenty of warm feelings for his co-star. "I think she's the best young actress around. She's influenced how I've done all the 'Twilight' stuff. It's quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything."
Somehow (I guess you have to read the entire Vanity Fair article to figure it out) Robert managed to equate not being "much of a crowd person" with not being the kind of guy to go on "secret dates with Kristen."
"It's like, 'Where? I can't get out of my hotel room!'" he said.
Yet Vanity Fair also spoke to 'Twilight' director Catherine, who had this to say about Kristen and Robert's relationship:
"What Rob and Kristen had is a multitude of feelings for each other. Complex feelings for each other. It was what we needed. Complex, intense fascination."
I suspect that will only add fuel to the fire for fans who want Robert and Kristen to get together in real life, just like their characters! LOL
Does it matter to you what they do in real life or are you only concerned with the movies?

Taylor Lautner Preferred Over Robert Pattinson In JSYK Awards
This could get very, very interesting. All of us who've read 'Twilight' know that Edward is obviously the right choice, but in an AOL's Just So You Know Awards (an online poll), participants actually preferred Taylor Lautner over Robert Pattinson. It looks like Taylor Swift isn't the only Team Jacob person out there!
In the category Favorite Male Movie Star, Taylor got 46% of the vote while Robert got 16% (three other actors were in the list). And in the category Cool Guy You'd Like To Hang With, Taylor got 56% of the vote while Robert only got 11%.
There were 44,594 votes total. You can see the entire list of categories and winners here.
I'm guessing many of these respondents haven't read the 'Twilight' books. I wonder if their opinions will change as they watch the movies.
