“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson is refusing to sign up for any romantic comedy movies – because he fears he’ll be hailed as the next Hugh Grant.

The British hunk, who shot to international fame in the vampire franchise, has been offered a number of romantic comedy roles, but has been unimpressed with every script he’s received so far.

And he’s worried that if he heads down the rom-com route, he will draw comparisons to fellow Brit heartthrob Grant.

Speaking on Britain’s GMTV, Pattinson says, “I’d love to (star in a romantic comedy) but they’re always just so rubbish. I mean it’s like… I’d absolutely love to do it but I’ve literally never read a good rom-com script… I think it’s such a typical career choice for me as well to be honest – if you do a big franchise thing, especially for English guys, you know, (it’s natural to) try and do a Hugh Grant part or something, which I don’t think would be the best idea for me, mainly because it’s quite hard to be Hugh Grant.”

The dust has barely settled from the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, held last Saturday, March 27, yet the nominee voting process has already begun for another fan-voted event, the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. The network will be holding the annual awards show on Sunday, June 6 in Los Angeles, but before the winners are announced, MTV is asking fans to pick the films, celebrities, and movie moments that will vie for the coveted golden popcorn.

Among the favorites to win nominations this year is the mega-blockbuster Twilight Saga: New Moon, which has a good chance of winning the title of Best Movie (after its predecessor Twilight swept last year’s show). Academy Award contenders Avatar, UP, The Blind Side, and The Hurt Locker (the Best Picture Oscar winner) are also included in the nominee pool. Based on the popularity of New Moon’s stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, their respective films Remember Me and The Runaways could also walk away with nominations in the top category.

The MTV Movie Awards added a new category this year called Global Superstar, which includes such A-listers as Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, and Drew Barrymore. Being this is an MTV event, however, it’s almost guaranteed that Pattinson will get nominated. The British actor could go up against his toughest competitor yet – himself – in the Best Kiss category. Both Pattinson’s kissing scenes with Stewart (in New Moon) and Emilie de Ravin (Remember Me) are both eligible for nominations.

Viewers will have until Friday, April 9 to select their picks for MTV Movie Awards nominees.

Robert Pattinson spotted womanizing on new ‘Bel Ami’ movie set. According to eclipsemovie.org, “Twilight Saga” movie superstar Robert Pattinson was spotted playing his new womanizing role on the set of his new “Bel Ami” movie in Budapest with one of his co-stars Kristin Scott Thomas. In this photo (above), it looks like he’s sort of fed up with the attention he’s getting,and is walking off. Lol!! I’m not really sure,but that’s what it looks like.

I’ve never seen Robert Pattinson make a face like that. This will truly be a different type of role for him to play. It’s reported that he’s playing a character named Georges Duroy,alongside his co-star Uma Thurman who’s character name has not yet been reported,at least not by IMDB. Rob’s character will be a bit of a womanizer who eventually gets close to Uma’s character. It’s due out in sometime next year.

Meanwhile, Rob’s new movie entitled “Remember Me” is currently in theaters,but is reportedly not doing very well. He stars alongside “Lost” hottie Emilie de Ravin in it.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have only recently come forward with their relationship and even then the confirmation comes from dubious sources at best. However, the public has an undying curiosity and thirst for knowledge regarding their relationship status.

Are they dating? Are they getting married? Are they having a baby? Are they jealous of their loved one’s other costars? Are they missing each other dreadfully? Are they running up thousand dollar phone bills?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s love life should be called ‘The Truman Show 2010′ because everyone seems to want to know every detail of their personal relationship. Read the ‘personal’ here.

It is of course most likely that people want to know because they care about this couple and their relationship just as much as they care about ‘Twilight’s’ Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, the roles they play in the popular franchise. The public wants to see a true, good to honest love story.

With all the heartache and sadness following other stars right now, the public needs someone to believe in. A true love fairytale romance that rings true and stays true. We need a reason to believe in love again, and that may be why Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are the most cared about couple of 2010, because their story seems to provide that.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson (as an apparition), and Edi Gathegi get together in this extended scene from The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Bella is walking in the woods when she suddenly sees Laurent out of the blue. Laurent isn’t someone Bella (or anyone in her or his right mind) would like to hang out with. Luckily for her, Edward — who’s always watching over her — shows up by way of special visual effects that only Bella and the audience can see.

Edward coaches her to lie, but Bella is a rotten liar.

This is the eye-for-an-eye bit, during which Laurent reminds Bella that Edward has left her totally unprotected and that Victoria wants her very dead. And that he’ll be doing her a favor by killing her quickly, for she’s so “mouth-watering.”

Little does he know.

Now, fans don’t have to play paparazzi to get a glimpse of the gorgeous guy, instead, they can head to Madame Toussads wax museum in London, where a wax likeness of the actor was recently unveiled.

The statue looks just like Pattinson, and fans can gaze at him for hours, run their fingers through his tousled tresses and even plant a kiss on his waxy lips.

Pattinson’s wax doppelganger cost $245,000 and took four months to build, according to “TheMoneyTimes.com.”

“R-Patz is one of the hottest celebs on the planet,” said Tussauds spokeswoman, Liz Edwards.”Judging by the reactions of the first [fans] to meet him here this morning, he is set to top our most-kissed list of celebrities very quickly.”

Those of us across the pond who love R-Patz don’t need to despair — rumor has it that a replica of the figure (and the requisite messy hairstyle) will be set up in New York City.

The teen heartthrob proves there’s more to life than ‘Twilight’ as he talks to Time Out about his ‘serious’ indie romance, ‘Remember Me’

The hum of nervous excitement buzzing around Robert Pattinson’s hotel suite this morning is such that you half expect him to walk out with golden skin and alarmingly sharp teeth. But in the flesh, the ‘Twilight’ star is warm, earnest and posher than you might imagine, with something of the teenage schoolboy to him, even down to the frayed cuffs on his jacket. In our closely monitored chat (20 minutes! No questions about Kristin!) Pattinson talks about his role as chain-smoking student loser Tyler Hawkins in the US indie movie ‘Remember Me’, about creating ‘mystique’ as an actor and about sucking blood off his co-star’s lip.

You looked scared stiff when you were handing out a Bafta award last month. Are you getting shyer?
‘I think I am, yeah! The more interviews you do, the more stuff you say to people. You suddenly get worried that people are more likely to judge you. If no one knows anything about you, then you can say whatever you want – and just contradict yourself later. But the more contradictions you make, the scope gets narrower as to what you can say before people get pissed off.’

Where does ‘Remember Me’ fit into the ‘Twilight’ craziness?
‘I’d read tons of scripts after the first “Twilight” movie and this was one of maybe two that I liked. I didn’t work for the whole year after “Twilight”. What did I do? Nothing! [Laughs] It was really nice. I was still so used to hanging around most of the time when I was in England. And now that I’ve been working a lot, I can’t imagine going a month without fretting. So now, I’m doing job-to-job-to-job. Which is a dangerous thing to do because you have a film coming out every three months. It’s over-saturation. You have to work a bit on creating some kind of mystique.’

Mystique? Is that what you feel you need? Or what you feel people want?
‘I see people who are in newspapers and magazines all the time. If they’re in every single week, I’m far less interested in their movies. So, yeah, I am always a little bit wary.’

Your new film ‘Remember Me’ is set in the summer of 2001. Did you have any reservations about fictionalising 9/11?
‘When I first read it, I didn’t think it was contentious. I thought it flowed organically; it’s anchored in reality. It hit hard for me so I wanted to portray the same emotions that I felt the first time I read it. I’m terrified of people thinking it’s manipulative. I read the script and I felt this should be made.’

You get beaten up a lot in ‘Remember Me’. Was it fun to act like a real person for a change?
‘Yeah, it’s always enjoyable smashing things up. I guess that’s one of the funniest things about it – from the first fight, which is such a severe beating, there are all these wounds on his face, for two thirds of the movie [laughs].’

And then your screen girlfriend [Emilie de Ravin] kisses you and she’s got a split lip…
‘There was a big moment, which is in the script, where there’s a kind of kinkiness with the cut in her lip but that got cut from the movie – where I’m sucking a little bit of blood off it [laughs]. I think it was a little bit too weird.’

Is this your first sex scene?
‘No. My first sex scene was in “Little Ashes” when I was about 21, and it was with a guy. And I’m supposed to have a kind of nervous breakdown in the middle of it as well. So that was a nice introduction to it!’

Do you feel like you have something to prove, ‘Twilight’ having been so bankable?
‘I think people are really harsh about anything that becomes successful. It’s really weird. I was looking at this article about “Little Ashes”. “He still hasn’t proved his box office potential. ‘Little Ashes’ bombed.” Could it have been the gay theme? Or, er, the fact that it was only released in 16 cinemas?’

There’s a lot of fags, booze and sex in this movie. What about your younger fans?
‘That’s the least of my concerns. I think it’s so ridiculous, people putting pressure on the arts. I think parents should be the ones who teach kids. The more you try to hide things like that, the more exciting and appealing they are. [Grins] The abstinence movement is only a reaction to everybody being so obsessed with sex for the past 20 years and it being so open to everyone. It’s crazy to think that young people, when their hormones are most raging, that they’re suddenly like, “Oh, I don’t want any of that.”’

You’re currently filming ‘Bel Ami’ with Uma Thurman. You play a real swine.
‘I thought it was one of the funniest scripts I’d ever read. When they made the movie in the ’50s with Angela Lansbury, they had to change the story. The novel is about this guy who screws everybody over and seduces all these women and completely gets away with everything. And in the first film, they had to have him shot because they thought that audiences wouldn’t be able to accept it. In this one it’s the total opposite. This guy is a complete arsehole, so arrogant and stubborn and self-righteous about everything. He remains an arsehole to the end and everyone congratulates him for it.’

Robert Pattinson has admitted that he will often “freak out” before movie premieres.

Despite the huge worldwide success of the Twilight franchise, the actor confessed that he has never felt comfortable on the red carpet.

“I never really know what to do with myself before a premiere,” he told The Sun.

“I just kind of freak out in the car on the way and then kind of remain in a bit of a daze.”

The 23-year-old also recently joked that screaming fans at public events have made him “almost completely deaf”.

ROBERT Pattinson has revealed he’s not as tough as his Twilight Saga: Eclipse character Edward Cullen.
Robert Pattinson says Twilight fans will be disappointed if they think he’s as tough as his Eclipse character Edward Cullen.

The 23-year-old, whose girlfriend is Kristen Stewart, filmed his own fight scenes in his latest film Remember Me but admits he was no match for the stunt team in the tough guy stakes and really can’t pack a punch.

Robert – who plays a tormented student who rebels against his father and then falls in love after suffering a family tragedy – said: “I punched the stuntman’s face four times – as hard as I could. And he just grinned at me and said he didn’t feel a thing. It was frustrating.”

Rob’s lack of fight also extends to real life, although he has been involved in several brawls albeit unwittingly.

He told Gala: “When I was a teenager I often got myself into precarious situations without realising that it would end in a brawl, more than once!”

Kristen Stewart says she’s learned not to worry about what her parents will think when she’s playing more grown up roles.

“I was more nervous about it when I was younger,” the actress told reporters at a special press day for The Runaways, the film based on the 1970s all-girl teenage rock band of the same name.

According to About.com, when it comes to playing wild rocker Joan Jett in the film, the Twilight star has admitted her parents have had to learn to accept what they see on screen.

“It was like a slow wearing down of like, ‘Okay, Kristen’s going to do what she’s going to do. She’s just going to do these movies’,” she said.

“Not that they were against it … I sort of didn’t care any more. I was like, ‘Are you guys cool with this?’” she explained.

The actress also admitted she was incredibly nervous about meeting the real-life rocker.

“I met Joan after I got the part and it was so scary because it sort of felt like this is the meeting that either fires me or keeps me on,” she laughed. “My hair was still long. I was about to do New Moon. I sort of felt like she was going to look at me and go, ‘What makes you think…?’”
