So many reasons to have heart attacks over NM this week! (good and bad)

Its been a while since I've done a multi-update on minor/scary twilight happenings within the community. Chalk it up to stress at home and in my classes. Some Of this junk is just getting ridiculous. I know we throw that word around a lot when it come to the media but at this point, mother goose would throw in the towel. I think the nut cracker is so fed up, he just bought himself a grill << (take a moment to absorb that one)

First things first,
Rob WAS, I repeat, WAS at a DVD release! We know he ended up at one of his friends shows the night of the DVD release and for most of us that logically meant he never atteneded a release but according to his recent interview with Fandango, he was at a blockbuster when the DVD was released. He saw some girls crying in line for their copies. Of course he was ninjarob at this point in time but still...interesting no?
Keep your eyes peeled << >> << Ninjarob could be anywhere.

The INTERVIEW:

Fandango: There was the showy, intentionally bizarre public Dalí and then there is his art, which should be taken very seriously. Have you thought about that as it applies to your own work?

Pattinson: Yeah. He had a fanatical control over how he was perceived. But now it's really out of control – out of your control. Your public image just seems to be in the hands of faceless strangers. You see these stories come up all the time and you're like, “Jesus. How do you know…?”

Fandango: Is it harder playing a real person, as opposed to playing the fictional Edward Cullen who had his story laid out in black and white?

Pattinson: I think in a lot of ways it's kind of the same. You're still playing fiction even though you're playing a real character. It's the same kind of approximation of somebody. The only thing that you can take from the book is the general outline, the mood changes, the emotional changes and development. I'm not playing it exactly as it is in the book.

Fandango: Dalí was a famed surrealist and no doubt you’ve had your share of surreal experiences in the last few months – like fans screaming over cardboard cutouts of you at the video store.

Pattinson: I know! I was in a Blockbuster on the day it was being released. I had forgotten it was being released that day. There were two families who had come with eight- or nine-year old-daughters to get their DVD. They were standing in the line crying and I stood watching what all this commotion was about. They didn’t know I was there or anything. I was just thinking “Wow, you’re crying about a DVD.” It’s fascinating.

Fandango: And you never revealed yourself to them?

Pattinson: No way! [laughs] NinjaRob

Fandango: Do you and your castmates try to top each other with the wild post-fame encounters you’ve had?

Pattinson: In a lot of ways they are all quite similar. The funny thing is that I’m always going around trying to look as inconspicuous as possible I find that people are always really disappointed when they actually recognize me. They are like ‘”Oh! At first I thought you were a bum but then I realized who you were.”

Fandango: You’re just getting started shooting New Moon. How are things going?

Pattinson: The interesting thing about this one is that so much of my character is in Bella’s head. It’s based on a mixture of memories and nightmares. Bella thinks she is going mad. I get to do some really creepy stuff. In other words, Bella is really frightened of [her hallucinations]. It’s really, really different than Twilight. I think that a lot of people will be kind of scared by this one. I wanted to try and put that into Twilight but I couldn’t really find a way to make Edward scary.
New Moon

Fandango: How is working with the new director, Chris Weitz?

Pattinson: He’s a great guy. He’s very, very talented, and articulate. I guess it must be kind of stressful for him to take this on. It’s got so much expectation. He just seems very calm about everything.

Fandango: What was it like attending the Academy Awards for the first time?

Pattinson: I got there and then I’m sitting in the second row. It was unbelievable. I keep thinking that something terrible is going to happen. “Death” is the only thing I’m thinking the whole time. I just used up all my luck so I’m probably going to die at 23 or something. Wow, he's as melodramatic as Edward!

Fandango: Did you discover that any of the hugely famous stars that were there were actually fans of Twilight, or their kids love the movie?

Pattinson: Robin Wright Penn came up to me. I thought that was kind of amazing after her husband had just won Best Actor. That was very, very surreal. Good for you Rob <3

Fandango: You contributed a couple of songs to the Twilight soundtrack. Are you still pursuing music, and will you be doing more for New Moon?

Pattinson: I’m in talks to do a soundtrack for another movie, composing. I cannot say what it is yet, but I really, really, really want to do. I don’t think I’m going to have anything on New Moon, but never say never. PLEASE GOD...

Fandango: And next you might be doing Memoirs, which has been described as a story of two star-crossed lovers trying to overcome family tragedies.

Pattinson: That will hopefully happen. It’s not finalized yet. It’s a great script and it’s something different from anything I’ve done before. I was in New York working on rewrites the other day with Jenny [Lumet, screenwriter of Rachel Getting Married]. It seemed like its going to be really, really, really good.


Fandango: Finally, for many people, Dalí became known as the artist with the crazy mustache and today you're the actor with the wild hair. Did you recognize the parallel in the hirsute trademarks?

Pattinson: [laughs] I didn't think about that, but it's funny because people are still bringing up my hair, even though I cut it off to make it different. That is quite funny. God. I hope that I don't get known for that for the rest of my life.


Next,
terrible news in twilight nation (IMO).
Justin Guarini, the runner up in American Idol season one, has a song up that he wants to be in New Moon! He posted a status message saying </I>"I Can't Live" for the movie New Moon! I hope it makes the soundtrack!"</I> He also has the new moon cover up as the song's cover art.

I know we probably have some fans on the forum but let's be honest...it's for the media attention and of all the movies, there's no way he's new moon materal.
"But Brie, how do you know?! He could be GREAT! We have to hear the song first." [insert stern look]
Yeah, well, I've herd it. There's an mp3 over at HGE and it's..."not good" at ALL in regards to new moon. Not even close to what we need. In fact, I left some choice comments on HGE if you want to take a moment to read them. It might hit the top 20 on the radio if it was JUST another one of his songs but it's SUPER cheesy(in the bad way). Gawd...just, no...

Now on to the CREEPER NEWS!
Oh yes, the media has outdone themselves with this one.

ET has somehow obtained pics of Rob as a baby<-- yeah, babe pics and did a segment on them. WTFH?! Do you have any idea how screwed up that is?
We all know I love rob but for the love of...LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!
How much more creepy can you get? I doubt anyone was supposed to see those outside of the family and I HOPE Rob decides to sue them. It's just wrong. Think about how we feel when friends see that stuff. Now multiply that by billions...not cool. I could punch someone right now.
I pray the media doesn't ruin Robs life. I really do.

*On a final note, I also think it's creepy that there's a contest to win one of Robs shirts from How To Be...

Justin Guarini? Yikes! I don't even need to hear the song to know it's not right for New Moon! The Twilight soundtrack is perfect and the same kinda music and tone should remain through out the entire Saga I think.

I watched ET last night and saw the pictures of when he was a child and thought, big deal! There was one picture of him with his dad shirtless and wearing a bobby (police) hat and they made a big deal that he was shirtless! That is so nasty that they pointed it out that way, he was like 5 years old for petes sake! I had read somewhere that his Aunt gave out those pictures and answered some questions for the Life & Style magazine they will be in tomorrow. So I'm thinking maybe he gave his Aunt permission to give those out but who knows what is the truth and what is not online! I think everyone is just trying to dig up anything on him to gossip about in the magazines but it doesn't look like he has any skeletons for them to dig up! So ridiculous what they do to celebrities.

omg. can you imagine what the looks on those girls faces would of been if Rob had came over and revealed himself?!! talk about major embarrasment!!
BUT NOO!
noo Justin!
