Robert Pattinson Round-Up: Hope, Elephants, Bel, and Beard


by Larson Hill
Now that Twilight and New Moon star Robert Pattinson will soon be in the hearts of Twilight Saga fans on home video with the upcoming release of New Moon on Blu-ray and DVD, the Pattinson related buzz continues to sweep the web. Although Robert Pattinson has wrapped filming on The Twilight Saga Eclipse, Pattinson has been busy with a slew of non Twilight Saga projects, which include Remember Me, Bel Ami, the latest rumor of Pattinson in talks to star in Water for Elephants with Sean Penn. As well, Robert Pattinson headlines have also centered around the many stars of Bel Ami that Pattinson will get steamy with, including Christina Ricci, a possible record deal with Simon Cowell, plus more stories surrounding the personal life of Pattinson and how Robert Pattinson is now sporting a new bearded look.

Not a day goes by that we don't see some sort of Robert Pattinson headline, or Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart story, since Pattinson is being covered from all angles possible. To recap the past week of Robert Pattinson related headlines, here's what made our Robert Pattinson Round-Up:

Pattinson Lends Celebrity to Hope for Haiti Telethon

As celebrities joined the George Clooney headed Hope for Haiti Telethon, Robert Pattinson ended speculation over his appearance by confirming he'd take part in the telethon. Although not in L.A. to participate in person like Twilight Saga co-star Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson did appear via satellite from London to lend his celebrity to the cause. Although some were left to guess whether Pattinson would take part in the Hope for Haiti telethon, hoping for a paired appearance by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, it's hard to imagine Pattinson would have turned down an invitation from George Clooney, especially for such a good cause.

Robert Pattinson Eyeing Role in Water For Elephants

Although there hasn't been official confirmation, word came down the Pattinson pike this week that Robert Pattinson and Sean Penn are circling the upcoming film Water for Elephants, which already has I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence and Reese Witherspoon attached. Neither Pattinson or Penn have confirmed their participation in the project but outlets have been speculating that Robert Pattinson will be filming on location at Cornell University. With no official word on the Pattinson participation in Water for Elephants, we'll wait to see what happens. However, starring with Sean Penn would certainly be a huge gain for Robert Pattinson in non Twilight related credibility.

New Bearded Look for Robert Pattinson

During his appearance in the Hope for Haiti telethon, fans got to see the new look of Robert Pattinson in full beard. Whether you like Robert Pattinson as the clean shaven vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga films or the new rugged Robert Pattinson, the new beard helped to endear Pattinson to an even wider fan base. The only thing missing this week from the new bearded Pattinson style was a matching hunting jacket and Mack truck hat.

Pattinson Sexier Than Jude Law

As the celebrity status of Robert Pattinson only gets bigger on a global scale, the adored Twilight Saga star has been surpassing a variety of leading men in Hollywood such as George Clooney and Hugh Grant. This week actor Jude Law was happy to step away from the sexy label to let Robert Pattinson take over the sexiest leading man in Hollywood spot. In fact, Jude Law was relieved that Pattinson stepped in to take the spotlight since Law never wanted the title in the first place.

Pattinson Attention on Remember Me

Although Twilight Saga fame has helped Robert Pattinson land several roles beyond New Moon, Twilight celebrity comes with professional disadvantages according to Remember Me co-star Chris Cooper. In an interview with MTV at the Sundance Film Festival, actor Chris Cooper mentioned that the Twilight frenzy surrounding Robert Pattinson became a challenge for director Allen Coulter on Remember Me due to the huge crowds of Twilight fans and paparazzi that Pattinson would attract to the set.

Robert Pattinson and a Record Deal with Simon Cowell?

Although Robert Pattinson has two songs featured on the Twilight soundtrack and has been busy with roles in Eclipse, Remember Me, and Bel Ami, plus more rumored projects, word came down this week that American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, had apparently offered Pattinson a record deal. Although reports now suggest that Pattinson has allegedly been hesitant over a record deal, we do know that if Pattinson won't have a hard time locking down a record contract with Simon Cowell or anyone if he chooses a music career.

Robert Pattinson and Christina Ricci in Bel Ami

After starring with Kristen Stewart in the Twilight Saga, Robert Pattinson will soon be stepping into an acting harem, as word broke this week that Pattinson will get steamy in Bel Ami with Christina Ricci. But Ricci isn't the only one Robert Pattinson will be close to in Bel Ami since the New moon star will also be working with Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas. So expect the rumors of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to transition into Pattinson and Thurman, Ricci, and Scott Thomas. It's a tough job being Robert Pattinson, we know.
