PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:30:25 -0800

Robert Pattinson showed off a few of his many funny faces earlier this morning for his appearance on The Today Show. We've already taken a peek at his interview with Matt Lauer, where Rob opened up a little bit about Kristen and the stories of his being hit by a taxi over the Summer. Robert is due to spend the rest of the day in NYC before a special screening this evening. Their big day is tomorrow, so hopefully Robert, Kristen, Taylor, and their castmates will soon be able to let loose a little after weeks of traveling the world to promote New Moon.

Lots more images of Rob inside and outside the studio, so read more.

PopSugarUK Meets The New Moon Cast Part Three: Robert on Music, Immortality and Harry Potter Versus Twilight!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:55:18 -0800

Robert Pattinson is back in Los Angeles ahead of New Moon's premiere tonight, bringing his promotional tour of Europe to a close. I was lucky enough to meet Robert, Kristen and Taylor when they visited London, and Rob looked gorgeous in a white shirt and suit, which he later wore to the UK fan event. I've already brought you Rob and Kristen's response to questions about their relationship, as well as the pair's revelations about their kissing scenes, and now I've got the lowdown on Rob's future music plans, what he thinks about immortality versus ageing, and the differences between working on Harry Potter and Twilight:

On whether he's concerned Twilight will overshadow his music:
"I want to do gigs again, and I guess the only way to do gigs is you have to get an album to silence everyone and then you can play as many gigs as you want. I really miss it. I am really afraid of being overshadowed by it. That's why I haven't done any gigs or released anything for ages. I think it does make you set your standards higher, because you need to overshadow this massive thing, so it's tough. You've got to be winning Grammys before you do another open-mic [laughs]."

There's still lots to come from all three stars, but for now, to find out what Robert had to say about immortality and the differences between Harry Potter and Twilight, read more.

On whether immortality would be a good thing or a bad thing:
"It depends. If I stayed my exact same mental capacity then I would not want to be immortal [laughs]. I don't know. I wouldn't want to be considered young forever. I like the innate wisdom that comes with being old. People just think you know more, and treat you with a little bit more respect. I'd like to be able to just choose however old I am whenever I wanted."
On the differences between working on the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises:
"When I went into Harry Potter it was the fourth one, everybody knew each other. The crew had been working together for 10 years... people had married each other! Everything was so well oiled. Starting Twilight, I don't know if it would be like the first Harry Potter, but it's interesting to see there's so many different warring energies. The studio knew they had a trilogy at the time so it seemed like people think that certain criteria need to met to set up that kind of franchise. Catherine obviously had an Indie background, me and Kristen really had strong people, so it was a very volatile set in a lot of ways. But the success of the first one made everything clear for the second."

Rob's clearly an intelligent and funny guy. Check out video footage of Robert at the UK press conference, and watch his interview with Molly too. Stay tuned for my next installment of cast interviews, where Taylor reveals all about stunt work, hobbies and getting into Bella's mind!

PopSugarUK Meets The New Moon Cast Part One: Taylor, Robert and Kristen On Hot Bodies & Kissing Scenes!

PopSugarUK — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:57:15 -0800

I was lucky enough to meet Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart yesterday at the New Moon press conference ahead of the UK fan event last night. The trio revealed lots of backstage gossip from the set, and opened up about their personal lives too. Taylor talked about his daredevil approach to doing his own stunts, Robert spoke about his music and the differences between working on the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises, and Kristen dealt with questions about her relationship with Rob by talking about getting to a higher level with actors she works with. All that's still to come, but for now read all about how Taylor and Robert got their hot bodies for shirtless scenes, and what Kristen had to say about kissing Robert.

On how Taylor bulked up for New Moon:
Taylor: "Obviously it required a lot of hours in the gym, but I found the most important part for me was the eating process and it was actually the most difficult. I had to double or triple my calorie intake. It was a matter of eating every two hours. And just disgusting things like meat patties, raw almonds, and sweet potatoes."
Kristen: "Sweet potatoes were the grossest, in baggies!" [laughs]
Taylor: "It was definitely a lot of hard work, but worth it."

To find out what Kristen said about kissing Robert, and how Robert got his hot body for all the shirtless scenes in New Moon, just read more.

On how Robert got his hot body for New Moon:
Robert: "It's just natural. [laughs] You get a lot of nipple shots in this film. I was really terrible. I hadn't worked out at all until I saw Taylor at the beginning of the year. And it was quite good for the movie as well, because I did feel incredibly inadequate. It made me feel a little bit emasculated with my pre-pubescent girl's body with A-cups!"
On what it's like to kiss Robert:
Kristen: "It's pretty cool."
Robert: "It's a-mazing!" [laughs]

Stay tuned for loads more gossip straight from Robert, Taylor and Kristen!

PopSugarUK Meets The New Moon Cast Part Two: Kristen and Robert Respond to Relationship Rumours!

PopSugarUK — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:39:38 -0800

Kristen Stewart changed out of her sheer dress and into jeans and a t-shirt for dinner at a Spanish fish restaurant with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner last night, after they attended the fan event in Madrid. I caught up with the trio when they were in London earlier this week, and the question on everyone's lips was what's happening between Rob and Kristen, especially after those hand holding pictures! While the pair were happy to talk about kissing scenes, their response to this particularly tricky question was somewhat different. When asked how their personal relationship affects their working relationship, Robert laughed and said "it becomes very speculative", but Kristen gave a fuller and more intriguing answer:

"Any good relationship that I've ever had with an actor has always been so emotional and personal. If you don't have that then you're just lying, and I have that with Taylor and everybody that I've ever worked with that I've ever gotten something from. You need that. It doesn't mess with you because you're better friends with someone on set and you need to be playing different characters. You're on a higher level of getting each other, and so you're more comfortable and thus more able to give a more honest performance."

Stay tuned for more gossip from all three stars, but for now, to find out what Kristen's family think of her fame, and the trio's views on the fans, read more.

How has your family responded to your fame?
Kristen: "My family's embarrassingly proud of me. My brothers get overtly protective, so I've made rules now, like you can't go outside and scream at people if they have cameras. But they're embarrassingly proud."
How do you prepare yourself to meet your adoring screaming fans?
Taylor: "I don't think there is any preparation."
Kristen: "No there's really not. When you have that amount of human energy thrust at you, it doesn't matter how much you think about how cool it is, or the fact that it happens all the time, I think it's an undeniable life force. And that's why I get so nervous. Literally I can feel so much... energy."
Taylor: "We live off the fans' adrenaline."
Kristen: "Sometimes [laughs] We need it to live, all the time. It's like, if it stops we're going to die!"
Robert: "You wear a lot of layers as well. I always find myself wearing a lot of layers so they can't see you hyperventilating. That's a good preparation technique!"

The majority of you were convinced Rob and Kristen are an item after seeing them holding hands, so how does this latest interview affect your opinion? Check out Molly's cool interview with Kristen and stay tuned for more gossip from all three stars!

Exclusive Interview: Robert Pattinson Talks About Finding "the One," Edward's Humor and the New Moon Soundtrack!

Molly — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:44:41 -0800

Here it is - our full interview with Robert Pattinson from last weekend's press junket in LA! I was Robert's very last one of the day and I'm so thankful that he waited to give us a few minutes! He opened up about his facial hair, whether or not he believes in "the one" as well as Edward Cullen's serious nature. Plus, his favorite parts of New Moon and whether he'll miss Edward when it's all over.

There's tons more coming up like my chats with Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, The Cullens, The Wolf Pack, The Volturi and director Christopher Weitz. It was a huge honor to be there - and yes, totally nerve-wracking if you can't tell! - and I hope you enjoy and thanks for all your questions!

Kristen Stewart Makes a Comment About Dating Robert Pattinson - Unkind or Understandable?

PopSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson talked to Entertainment Weekly ahead of New Moon's release, in one of their many press appearances. When asked about their rumored romance, Kristen answered in an exasperated way. She said,

"I probably would've answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f-ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?' . . . There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: 'Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.' I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like 'F- off!' I would answer the exact same way."

We can imagine that it could get irritating answering the same question over and over, but one might think she'd be more polite with a movie to promote. So, tell us what you think - are her comments unkind or understandable?

Would You Choose Robert Pattinson or Edward Cullen?

Molly — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 09:00:00 -0700

Robert Pattinson is sexy, but it's hard to deny the impact that his character, Edward Cullen, has had on his skyrocket to fame. In this USA Today Weekend Edition, Robert Pattinson addresses the fact that so many fans seem unable to differentiate between him and his character Edward Cullen, saying, "Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward. I don't really mind either way. There's something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people. If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don't know if I could be bothered to fight. I just let it go by." So, we want to know which do you prefer - the real life Robert Pattinson or the fictional Edward Cullen who is so dreamy?
