Life & Style is running with a cover story this week about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart being “back on”. It’s a pretty boring story, and most of it is stuff we covered earlier this week. Basically, Kristen and Pattz were shacked up in the Chateau Marmont for most of the weekend, and now they’re basically hittin’ it all of the time. The most interesting part of cover story was the part about how Kristen is going to get her “Bella hair” back. The official Twilight colorist (seriously?) tells L&S, “I’d bleach her hair to remove the color, then condition it and match it to the weave she wears in the film.” Breaking news! Now more about the hot Chateau Marmont action:
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart helped Twilight win best movie romance and best kiss at the 2009 Teen Choice awards on Aug. 9. But things are even steamier between the two leads offscreen. After spending two difficult months apart while they worked on different projects 3,000 miles away from each other, on Aug. 5 the co-stars reunited for five blissful days in LA — and their romance was instantly back on. “From the way they act, it’s clear that Rob and Kristen are together — and in love,” says an insider who witnessed the meet-up. “It seems that they can’t stay away from each other.”
Robert and Kristen’s five-day PDA fest shocked more than just their die-hard fans. “I saw the pictures — getting in cabs together, going for lunch,” Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale in Twilight, said to Rob during their Alaska Airlines flight from LA to Vancouver on Aug. 10. “I thought you were going to keep it undercover?”
Confirming his relationship with Kristen, Rob whispered for Nikki to keep her voice down. But it appears there’s just no hiding the love between him and Kristen, especially now that they’re reunited for the 10-week Eclipse shoot. “Rob likes interesting, smart girls,” Justin Chon, who plays high school student Eric Yorkie in the Twilight saga, tells Life & Style. “I think once he finds the right girl, Rob’s a real relationship kind of guy.”

Boring, right? Anyhoodle, has everyone seen this new thing that Jimmy Fallon is doing on his show and website? He’s mocking our poor little Sparkles, Robert Pattinson. He calls these faux-webisodes “Robert Is Bothered”. It’s Jimmy “in character” as Robert Pattinson, complete with a hilarious (and not bad) English accent. Faux-Pattz’s little speeches take place in a tree, and if this continues to be a weekly bit for Jimmy, I’d imagine we will hear Faux-Pattz’s take on everything. Last week’s episode was about the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. This bothers Faux-Pattz, because “Sharks are stupid. Sharks bite people when they smell blood. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, wait, they’re like vampires. Copycat fishes.”
My last piece of Pattz news is this funny report from OK! Magazine UK. They’ve got an interview with a woman named Dr. Lisa Bode. Dr. Bode is a Twihard. She tells OK! that Pattz has set an “impossible benchmark” for young women looking for the right guy, and that the Twilight books and films “are leaving women with unrealistic expectations of men.” Because he’s a vampire, you ask? No! Dr. Bode says, young women (and apparently, older Twihard doctors) and “idealising Edward to the point where real men can’t compete anymore. It’s a kind of performative thing, an empowering gesture. If you consider the way that women have had to put up with men’s ideals for centuries and feeling insecure in relation to that, there’s perhaps a little bit of revenge coming through.” Oh, for goodness sake. Get a grip, Dr. Bode.

Wait! I thought Rob and Nikki had a thing a while back…from the article is sounds like she’s AOK with whatever is going on with ROB-STEW action..
And also thought Nikki and Kstew were tight??? Thats a little too close to home if the romance rumours are true…isnt that breaking the girl-rule of not dating your pals ex??
Im so traditional;p
I actually think that analysis has a point – if you ever read the ravings of some of these Twilight fanatics, they really do hold real men up to the Edward standard. Most normal people understand it’s fiction and not realistic, but these younger readers especially have now set their sights on someone just like Edward, who is basically obsessed with Bella and lives his life for her. Most men aren’t that extreme, so these girls are going to be disappointed if they keep up that fantasy.
Most of the devoted readers of TWILIGHT are setting their standards too high if they’re expecting to get a date,period.
Haven’t read the books so don’t know what kind of standard these girls are supposedly holding guys up to. But judging from the first movie he was a typical guy to me – playing hard to get and then falling hard for the girl. Ah well!!
Still don’t understand why everyone thinks he’s so hot though. I just don’t get it.
I think most forms of media portray an unrealistic standard of relationships, Twilight just hits them younger.
But how many 20-40 year old women sit around watching rom-coms and then expect to meet their dream guy at a coffee shop, start up a “man I hate them” friendship, fall madly in love, have the man leave them just as their discovering said love feelings, only to have the man return later with a song / meeting on a bridge / flowers / some kind of expression of their devotion and love?
In comparison, a teenage vampire boyfriend sounds much more realistic.
For me, show up occasionally with a bottle of wine, tell dirty jokes and open the door for me… and I’m yours.
ROFL Neelyo! I love coming back to comments that make me snort at work! It’s so true….
Umm.
I guess I’m the only one that doesn’t find Edward’s OBSESSIVE/CONTROLLING ways “cute”. This is how abusive relationships start, way to plant the seeds young Twilight.
Neelyo’s comment made me laugh 🙂
I don’t understand the popularity of Twilight at all. A good friend, whose advice I normally respect, recommended the books to me and I suffered through the first one only; I regret that I won’t get those hours of my life back. The writing is mediocre at best, the characters completely wooden and the “plot” slow-moving and insipid.
That this joke of a franchise has spun off into the extreme over-popularity of an actor who frankly looks mildly retarded and is without any aesthetic appeal whatsoever is further testament to the dubious quality of today’s “tastemakers” (yes, I use that term loosely).
In short, blech.
Has anyone actually looked at this this guy? I mean he’s good looking enough, but he’s not gorgeous. How a role can warp the public’s beautiful mind.
Brooke I totally agree with you on the plot. I thought something was wrong with me when I watched the movie (that everone is buzzing about being so great) and thought it was very average and anticlimatic. I’m glad to see that there are others out there that can see through all the bs.
Brooke:
“mildly retarded”?
What an ignorance?!
I’m 26 and certainly not an obsessive fan of the books but they aren’t nearly as bad as people are making them out to be.
I find Robert attractive but understand when other people don’t see his appeal. It’s called personal taste.
By the way Brooke, why don’t you show us your photo and let us dwell in your beauty?
wait… men have to live up to unrealistic standards now? huzzah!!!! equality at last!!!!!
Brooke, this is why the current tween population should not be held responsible for setting up the criteria for what is a worthwhile read. Grown women, please don’t partake of this nonesense… let the tweens have this one!
Annie, I am right there with you on this one. Edward is an emotionally manipulative stalker. He represents some of the things I want LEAST in a real man. I can only hope the twihards grow out of it.
@ Neelyo’s comment: LOL
And yes Annie, I agree w/you on Edward’s obsession — he’s got some serious fatal attraction sh*t going on! Edward’s dialogue mostly consists of “I’M NEVER LETTING YOU GO, NEVERRRRRRRR” or “You’re so frail, so delicate and breakable, and I want to keep you that way…now do what I say, woman!” And Bella is generally this: “I am nothing w/out Edward. I am useless, stupid, clumsy, and plain. I am not worthy of his love.”
Sounds a lot like a borderline abuser/abusee relationship to me.
You mean… I NO can haz creepy, stalkery, sparkly obsessive? 🙁
I LOVE the shark bit though. Hilarious!!!! (I can’t see it just yet – can’t wait) as the Harry Potter one is clever) The other videos are funny and the accent isn’t that bad at all. I love the Catherine Tate reference in the “am i bovvered” bit 😀
I don’t get his appeal either. I think he looks like a monkey.
more twilight porn… I’m with you ugly… he really got lucky and found the best role out there to appeal to every aspect of the brooding, emo, female adolescent.
RPattz is a clumsy, self deprecating, slighty insecure, goofy and a mumbling kind of guy. Women love him because he is so honest about who he is – unlike some men who’s full of arrogance and deceit.
Really? A depressed sparkling stalking mindreader?
Whatever happened to Darcy?
The man is not attractive to me, even as Edward…
More than the ‘unrealistic expectations on men’ I dislike the incredible unhealthiness of that fictional relationship between Edward and Bella. SERIOUS codependency going on there. Manipulation, emotional abuse – ohh, but it’s so ‘romantic’. It’s setting a whole lot of young women up to find it normal to be in a really unhealthy relationship.
I saw the trailer of the film and was baffled by the hype. This guy sounds like he’s completely out of it – and constantly on the verge of throwing up.
Haven’t read the books or seen the film and no plans to do so either. But as an older, geekish woman, it’s refreshing to see the male-centric fantasy/sci-fi field equalized a bit. God knows how many sweaty geeks were up in arms about waiting *gasp* hours in panel lines because the sausage fest known as SDCC was overrun with Twihards there to see R-Pattz and cast. God bless Twilight on those merits alone.
God yes, Darcy!!
OMG! I can totally see RPattz playing Mr. Darcy in another ten years! 🙂
What exactly is this leading me to expect??? Dirty hair, a bad case of meandering facial fuzz and an acting range of approximately 3 expressions???!!???
No thanks, I like them my age and minus the ‘tude…cause I have enough for both of us…:)
im not obessesed with robert im in a relationship now but im not sure how long its gonna last
next relationship im in there gonna have to prove their love to me
ive been hurt to many times its all in GODS hands.
i can understand where he comes from scared to love
I am 15 years old and completely agree with the person who said these books were mediocre stories put together with non-creative, bad writing.
First of all, I will respect any author who talks about vampires, but if your seriously going to make them sparkle in the light instead of burst in fire, i think of you as spreading blasphemy to the world.
Next, you are all completely right. Everyone has WAY too high of expectations of men due to this movie. This isn’t really relavent but im still going to throw it out there; Robert Pattinson looks as if he has never washed his hair in his whole life. It is disguisting. And maybe it is personal taste but I don’t understand it. We are just asking men to completely control our lives when we tell them to be more like Edward Cullen.
All i’m saying though, is that you should have personal values and pick a man who appreciates you and treats you right, whether he looks like Robert Pattinson or not. Only expect a man to give you as much as you give him. We’re not perfect either ladies.
