These are new photos of Robert Pattinson filming Bel Ami in Budapest, the city for lovers (actually, I’ve always wanted to go to Budapest, so don’t hate on me Budapest-lovers). LaineyGossip is referring to this look as Sparkles’ “Bitchface”. He certainly doesn’t look happy. In fact, he looks like he is about to bitch someone out, for real. My guess is the costumer for Bel Ami. Of course, he could just be totally sick of his movements being catalogued ad nausea by rabid, Sparkles-starved Twihards. In an interview from a few days ago, Sparkles told The Sun that he finding this whole extreme fame thing a bit trying. Or, in Sparkles’ words, “If people push themselves on me I find it grueling and repulsive.” Dude.

AT first glance ROBERT PATTINSON is the man who has everything. Thanks to the Twilight movies the British actor’s got millions of adoring fans, stacks of cash and a budding romance with his co-star KRISTEN STEWART.

But R-Patz has revealed a much darker flipside to his overnight success.

He says fame has made him paranoid when people approach him and led him to lose touch with most of his old pals in the UK. So now his only true companion is a guitar that he lugs around the world with him. And Rob is so scared it may all end tomorrow that he won’t even invest in a place to live.

He said: “I’ve been forced to stay in a hotel for the last three years. It’s frustrating. I almost gave in and bought a house in Hollywood. But luckily I realized how insanely expensive that is and I don’t even know if I’ll still be working next year. I’m comforted by my guitar – my true companion that travels everywhere with me. I didn’t need this in the past, until I got back to London and found out I had lost my whole social life. It’s tough maintaining it when you don’t speak to anyone for over a year. I am now trying to get back in touch with some friends through Skype.”

And while R-Patz has lost contact with old mates, making new ones has proved even harder. He has become suspicious of anyone trying to strike up a conversation.

He adds: “Being well known is a real burden. I’m less open and have noticed that I’m actually getting paranoid.

“If people push themselves on me I find it grueling and repulsive. If I even think someone wants to approach me I feel the need to scream, ‘What do you want of me’. Then later I think, ‘What if this person only wanted to be nice?’ ”

The actor admits his problems with fame and adulation come from feeling he hasn’t earned it yet as an actor.

He says: “It’s all been given so easily. What did I do to deserve this adulation? I am convinced I need to work at least ten full years to actually earn the status I’ve apparently being given. The more I act different characters the more I learn. I know it might be risky, especially with the added pressure of fame. Certainly with the fame that has been thrown in my lap.”

“I want to grow as an actor. I don’t want to be typecast as the romantic hero. I’m not going about wishing everything was back to how it was in the past – although sometimes I do as it was so much easier.”

Sure, part of me think Sparkles is an ungrateful bitch who needs to grow a pair and man up. But a larger part of me thinks that Sparkles is doing incredibly well given the level of his name-recognition and extreme nature of his fans. I mean, these bitches are obsessed, and they’re putting his life, their own lives, and the lives of innocent people in danger just because these kids want a piece of Sparkles. Is that “repulsive”? Eh. I think he should find a way to gently encourage his fans to chill out without disrespecting a lot of really young girls who adore him.

By the way, if it weren’t for the bitchface, I’d be talking about how much I like his hair like this. He looks really good from the neck up!
