Last night, Robert Pattinson showed that he has a sense of humor about himself and showed up on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show. Fallon has been gently and hilariously mocking Sparkles with his reoccurring gag “Robert Pattinson Is Bothered” in which Jimmy (in character as Sparkles) sits in a tree and rages against things that bother him. Last night, Sparkles showed up in one of the bits, and the result was funny. It would have been funnier if Fallon hadn’t been mugging for the camera, but Sparkles gave me a chuckle. Here’s the video and OK! Magazine’s summary:
R-Pattz impersonator, Jimmy Fallon, was joined in his tree by the real Twilight star on Monday’s Late Night, where they both confessed to being “bothered.”
“Sometimes, I climb into my tree and I think about things that bother me. Like the month of March bothers me!” Jimmy-as-Robert insisted. “OK? Comes in like a lion, out like a lamb — what the f*** does that mean?!”
The camera panned to the real Robert Pattinson, clutching on to a tree-branch of his own and looking bewildered at Jimmy’s impression.
“Hey! I don’t talk like that,” said Rob.
“How does it make you feel?” Jimmy asked.
“I don’t know how it makes me feel, to be honest,” Rob replied. “A little bit annoyed, a little bit frustrated…”
“A little bit… something that starts with a ‘b’ maybe?” Jimmy encouraged.
“Maybe a little bit broken,” Rob countered. However, he finally caved and admitted he was “bothered.”
Back in the studio with Jimmy, Rob revealed his talk show tactics during the run-up to New Moon’s release.
“I got so used to all the answers, I remember going on Letterman and I was terrified of going on Letterman for the New Moon junket,” he said.
“I knew I’m going to get asked the same questions every time, so I prepared all my answers just before and I was so comfortable when I walked in because every little nuance and mannerism was all planned out.”

Cute, right? I thinking more and more highly of Sparkles the more I see him. He’s got a very sweet sense of humor and he’s not an arrogant bastard. Meanwhile, this morning Sparkles appeared on The View, and those ladies couldn’t get enough of him. They barely even spoke to poor Emilie de Ravin, who was also there. Barbara Walters asked Sparkles about the “allergic to vaginas” comments, to which Sparkles replies: “I learned two things from that interview. One thing, never try to make jokes in printed interviews, and the other is just never do interviews ever. I do have an actual allergy. It’s terrible. It’s a curse.” Soon after, Sherri Shepherd asks Sparkles if he would date an older woman, to which he replies: “I think Betty White is probably one of the sexiest women in America… She’s vibrant; it’s sexy. I think the more age the better.” He’s so cute.
Here’s Part 1 of The View interview:
Part 2 (the Betty White part):
Part 3 (the part with the vadge allergy & Sparkles‘ mom!):
Umm.. No, the more age the better is not a cute comment. It just shows an allergy to vagina. Atchuu!
I agree, Kaiser – the more I hear and see him outside the Twilight crap the more I like him. I’m hoping he can break out of that pigeon hole and do some different roles and make a career for himself.
Viva La Betty!
I LOVE that he went on the Bothered skit. I Frickin’ love that skit. Jimmy’s hilarious!
Melanie – Your vagina won’t actually disappear when you age; it stays where is it and you are still a woman. True story.
Who doesn’t love Betty?
There are some really interesting soundbites from these interviews. I think he may well grow up into someone interesting.
Loving on Betty White is win.
ANY time a celeb gets in on a skit/movie/song that spoofs them, their ratings go up, in my book. it shows that they don’t take themselves so seriously.
I don’t how much higher Sparkles’ ratings can go, though…I love this guy more with each interview he gives!
Betty used to be awesome on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Always trying to get on Lou’s junk! feisty old gal. She came from the old school where you actually had to have at least a little talent to be famous. With that said, she can go back to the dusty shelf she was on,,,she had her cameo.
Oh my god. He just gets cuter and cuter with every interview. I am turning into the ‘older woman’ who asked if Rob would ever consider dating up…
Ok because he likes betty u now like him. however i will always love him most as….
cedric diggory
Debbi, get in line, woman! 🙂
He’s pretty adorable…
I will never see a twilight movie – ever, but I do like the way this kid handles his fame and job. thanks for bringing the fun human side of him to us non-twits,twarts, twa- whatever…
Aww, he showed Betty some love – she rocks!
I liked him better when he didn’t talk much.
Bette White indeed is beautiful
but this pattison kid is simply the ugliest in America.
Sparkles is so diplomatic. It’s not like he could say “well, I think 30/35/40 is as old as I will go”. He gave an answer that offended and alienated no one!
And, well, Betty = WIN!
Haha, imagine all the little 14 year old girls who ran to their rooms crying after hearing that. Hahahaha, and that’s totally why he said that too. Anything to antagonize those stupid teenage fangirls of his, I love it.
HE can’t say that! I don’t want to like him. Jeez, I should just give up. He’s adorable.
I really had to laugh 😀 but that’s just bacause I am deeply in love with Robert Pattinson.
Squeee for Robert and for Betty White!
Well, his character likes things that are almost dead.
