One of my favorite British dudes is talking about one of my other favorite British dudes! And it’s all so charming. Or is it just the accent? We’ll never know. Anyhoodle, Hugh Grant is still doing endless promotion for that turd of a film, Did You Hear About the Morgans? Which, by the way, Sarah Jessica Parker has been largely absent from, so poor Hugh, right? I keep seeing photos of Hugh as he fulfills what must be three months worth of worldwide promotion, but I haven’t been seeing any of his charming interviews. Perhaps Hugh hasn’t been saying anything of note? Well, he rectified that! Hugh name-dropped Robert Pattinson, and voila, headlines! Hugh thinks Robert Pattinson is “sexy”! Hugh just got on the good side of every Twihard on the globe.

AS WELL as his hoards of screaming teenage fans and their mums, Twilight star Robert Pattinson also has a fan in Hugh Grant.

British A-list actor Hugh Grant reckons heartthrob Robert Pattinson is “sexy” and can totally see why women of all ages fawn over him.

Hugh said: “I haven’t watched the second part yet of Twilight yet, but I understand the fascination with Robert. I think he’s really sexy!”

The 49-year-old also revealed how he thought he looked sexy when he wore a cowboy hat in his latest movie Did You Hear About The Morgans? – until he saw himself on screen.

He said: “I thought I looked pretty sexy with the Stetson hat. At least I was hoping I would. But after watching the film I have to admit I looked quite daft. But you have to know that I always tell the costume designers to make me look as attractive as possible.”

Hugh has previously threatened to quit acting but now he has just decided to see what projects come his way.

He told Germany’s OK! magazine: “I realized that I’m going to make a fool of myself if I keep talking about it. So from now on I’m going to shut up about it.”

Hugh’s so lovely, in my opinion. I love his little asides, I love his opinions and his self-deprecating humor. The world needs more Hugh! Moving on… Sparkles! My mother and I had never discussed Sparkles before, and somehow he came up in conversation over the weekend, and I mentioned that I found Pattinson to be very beautiful, almost girlishly pretty. My mother was not impressed. But she doesn’t understand!

Now, I can’t find Hugh’s name on any of the lists of people who have signed up for Clooney’s Haiti telethon, but Sparkles has been confirmed! According to most sources, Pattinson will be doing a little speech or something via satellite from London, and Jay-Z and Bono will be performing on his end. Which is really cool! Ah, if only Hugh had signed on!
