We were disappointed when Robert Pattinson was a no-show at the Kids' Choice Awards last weekend, and it turns out that we've lost our Edward Cullen permanently. Robert has suddenly dropped out of filming New Moon, saying that all the fan attention was too much for him. He went on to say that he's very grateful for the opportunity and success of the first Twilight movie, but has decided to shift his focus to smaller indie movies like Little Ashes.

His costar Taylor Lautner has already volunteered to take on the role of Edward, but there's no word yet on what will happen. Enraged fans have already started sending costume vampire teeth to Robert as a plea to get him back, but it looks like he's sticking to his decision. To see what Kristen Stewart and director Chris Weitz had to say about Robert's departure, just read more.
APRIL FOOLS!!!! Rest assured, Twilight fans — Robert Pattinson isn't going anywhere, so take a big sigh of relief and enjoy the first day of April.

hahahahaha, my heart DROPPED....and then i remembered it was april fools...
1nice one pop!

2haha funny! I was wondering why you were the only one to report that! All the crazy Twilight blogs said nothing of the sort anywhere!
3LOL! I was shocked by this one, but also impressed you guys got the scoop. Would have been an awesome story to break, eh?
I'm still glad hes the main guy, soooo dreeeeamy
4Ha! I only realised after two seconds
5OMFGOSSSSSSSSSH..... MY HEART DROPPED! nice one
6You got me there! Haha no fair! It isn't april yet!
7So rude, you had my hopes up. I can't stand him as Edward. I was hoping this was true.
8i literally didnt read it all the way and then sent it out to all of my friends...no not only do i feel like a fool but i look like a moron! good job pop! that was funny!
9the best part of this joke is that Rob really doesnt like the fan attention, so its totally plausible. but it would be sad because he is the best part of the movie. what doesnt work is that it wouldnt make any sense for taylor to take his place...that would just be confusing!
10oh man i was totally fooled.... that would be awful though i really love him lol
11I froze as soon as I saw it and realized, before finishing the first paragraph, that it was April Fools! =) Good one Pop! You're so bad, toying with us like that! =P
12Jesus! I hate April Fools lol.
13Oh. My. Lord. I think a small part of me died with that. Gosh that got me.
14I'm not a Twilight and I freaked out a little. I'm so gullible!
15OMG that was terrible!
16also had a heart attack..
ughhhh not funny! that scared me!
17It's not April's Fools day yet over here, and I never follow the Twilight movie so it's not like...I care too much.
18Ummm pretty sure me and my friend just started like crying at school and everyone was looking at us... then she was like wait... is it april fools check! And I scrolled down and there it was! NOOO I would have been so depressed if thast was true! Twilight is my life! =)
19i knew it was an April Fools joke lol (I don't even care about Twilight like that lol)
20Haha April fools... if it was true I'd be so angry lol
21It's way too early for that!! Phew... I'm not even an obsessed fan but I was totally disappointed at the thought... lol
22Yeah, I was buying it until the Taylor Lautner part, then I realized it's April Fool's....
23OMG! My heart started palpitating out of control...hahahaha! good one
24um, not funny. my heart stopped...literally.
25At first, I was thinking, "That's an awful lot of contract litigation..." Then I remembered what day it was.
26wow april fools! you're good Pop!
27Cruel. Very cruel.
28OH MY GOD i just forwarded this onto all my twilight lover friends!!!
29VERY good job Pop ! I almost believe it, but cannot understand why Taylor hopes to take Rob's place...
30my heart stopped when i read the tittle ... then i remembered the date and started to breathe again. Nice one!! Happy April Fools Day!!
31Good one
32Jesus! I'm his fan, and my heart just stopped... I went to read the comments, and then realized what day it is

33oh, god, I swear I started hyperventilating. WHY Pop????

34literally gasped out loud!
35OMG... That was so wrong. Very funny though.
36HAHAHAHA! that was a good one!! wow, i was so buuummmmeddddd!! hahahaha oh lord!
37Oh, wow. That was soooooo wrong! I completely believed it and my heart sank! Very good play, Popsugar.
38oh man I feel like an idiot. good one
39My eyes popped out of my head!
40Good one I have to say...I didnt realise till i started reading the comments! Damn you Popsugar!
It took a couple of seconds of near cardiac arrest before I realised the date!
41I WISH it was true. ugh. im tired of that parasite.
42you guys got me! No fair - it's not even April 1st in my timezone yet
43HAHA! Too bad, actually... I don't really like the guy but this (fake) news made me like him for a second.
44OMG Pop good one. I was like OMG...and I don't even like those movies. At least the first one...
45LOL!!!!!! totally got me there!!!!
46OMG you suck! LOL
47lol
48I believed it!
I was actually applauding the news (had it been true). It's not easy to walk away when you're so sought after and I thought, for once ~ someone with heart and charisma has finally decided to do what's right than letting the limelight get to their head and destroy their lives.
Oh well...
49OMG!!! I was shocked at first!
