Quick Twilight spam before the regular goes up

[cleolinda]

Once again: the day has slipped past me without my realizing it. And yet? I regret nothing, because it was a lovely, sunny, sleepy, do-nothing day.

I LOVE YOU WONDERELLA. Also: STEP OFF MY CAPYBARAS.

Bella And Edward Hit The (Blood) Red Carpet. Or, "This is, in fact, what your hair looks like after wearing a cap for a week." (MTV Rocks L.A. With ‘Twilight’-Geared ‘Spoilers’ Taping: Here’s Ashley The Intern’s Special Report!; More premiere pics of people being adorable. I love that Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed are BFF now. Although, I shouldn't be surprised, since Rosalie spends most of the series hating Bella and the movie actors are, like, Opposite Planet Twilight. Well, except for Alice and Jasper. Ladies and gentlemen, start your shipper tinhats!)

A 100-page special issue? Really?

Yahoo Movies joins the bandwagon, sets up special section, posts exclusive clip.

Borders behind the scenes clip, new poster.

More pics added to the "EW Twilight Photo Album." The new photos start here.

The EW cover story is up and it is EPIC.

For this story — the first in-depth interview of Pattinson's young career — the actor's manager suggested that Hollywood's next It Guy be interviewed at the Chateau Marmont hotel, in L.A., over a civilized lunch on the chic outdoor patio. So on a recent afternoon, Pattinson, looking slightly befuddled, wearing secondhand black jeans, what he assumes was once a rather large woman's bowling shirt, and old Chinese slippers with his big toes sticking sadly out of large holes, folds his lanky six-foot frame into a tiny chair. [...] After ditching the hotel — ''Okay, let's think, everything is all schmancy and industry around here'' — he suggests a low-rent heavy metal bar in West Hollywood where he's sung and played guitar at a couple of open-mike nights. [...] On the ride to the bar, he apologizes for the state of his car, a rattling 1989 black convertible BMW that he recently bought for $2,000. The roof is broken, the old dashboard that caught on fire while he was driving on the highway is chucked in the backseat with the rest of his junk, and he insists that the red flashing light on the new dash is nothing to be alarmed by. ''If I crash,'' he pleads with an impish grin, after nearly rear-ending a sleek Mercedes, ''don't mention it in the article, will you?''

Caught on fire?

The studio has him set up in a temporary apartment (outside of which there's always a few eager Twilighters camped) where the only things he keeps in his fridge are peach Snapple and a freezerful of pepperoni Hot Pockets.

*facepalm*

(Man, I gotta tell you, if I had people breathing down my neck like that, I would not be nice about it after a while. "JESUS CHRIST, ARE YOU STILL HERE? *flying coins* GO GET MAMA CLEO SOME MORE MOUNTAIN DEW.")

''I got sent to media training and my agent got back messages like, 'He's resisting the media training,''' he says with an amused shrug.

I am fascinated by the idea of "media training" for actors. I shouldn't be surprised that they have it, really. God, I wonder what kind of things they tell you. You know. In media training.

(Every time he says something like "Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself" or "He could be like a piece of cheese and she would think the same thing" or "You're hot and everything, but just shut up," a media trainer bursts into flame.)

He's sifting through higher-profile scripts, amused to find himself in the same conversation as stars like Shia LaBeouf for a role in a Gladiator -style period movie.

There is nothing about that sentence that is not hilarious. I mean, even just "Shia LaBeouf in a Gladiator-style movie" makes me cry with laughter.

As soon as he comes into cash, he has a tendency to blow it all anyway. ''Not on cars, obviously,'' he laughs. ''I have very, very low expenditures, but still I manage to spend it all. I guess Hot Pockets are more expensive than I thought."

This is the point where I pretty much fell over and died, really.

Give me thirty seconds and the regular linkspam will go up.

Oh, Dear Christ.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh. Which part?

[christwise.livejournal.com]

I LOVE him. He has got to be one of the few stars who I just like MORE the more I find out about him.

[demonoflight.livejournal.com]

...you know, I just noticed. EW. Haw haw I feel like a twelve-year-old.

When does Twilight come out? A little less than two weeks, right? I'm excited.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Not next weekend--that's Quantum of Solace--but the next.

[goonie-freak.livejournal.com]

Does RObert OWN another pair of pants.... those black ones with the orange zipper area are in EVERY picture recently taken of him.

[teslaroo.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! What the hell??
Someone needs to nominate him for What Not To Wear!

A bowling shirt previously owned by a large woman??
God.

[cashewdani.livejournal.com]

The entire time I was reading the EW article, I could not believe that it was real. THE CHINESE SLIPPERS WITH THE HOLES!!! Oh, RPattz, please never give into media trainning. We need you.

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

slippers?

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

I am starting to ship Rosalie/Emmett even though I still can't finish the book because it's terrible. But their one paragraph together + Growing Up Cullen = better than all the other characters.

The studio has him set up in a temporary apartment (outside of which there's always a few eager Twilighters camped) where the only things he keeps in his fridge are peach Snapple and a freezerful of pepperoni Hot Pockets.
okay, I can see people waiting 12 hours before a press junket - I UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF CRAZY. It's an event, and we've all done something dumb before, and it's actually really fun to socialize with other crazy fans in the hours before hand but that's like, one, TWO days maximum, no more than you can fit into a weekend, so the "always" qualifier makes me freak out and want to send Pattinson money for bodyguards. Which he already has, I'm sure, but still. Maybe he needs more.

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

I just read my EW last night, and I adore RPattz from his interviews. I love how uncoached he is. And how much did I love that the article mentioned his "gates of hell" comment? That's awesome.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

HEE, YES. And it's not even that he's uncoached--they try coaching him! It doesn't work! He doesn't care! HE IS TRUE TO HIMSELF. His crazy stoner diamond self.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

Every day, I sway a little closer to the Rpattz camp.

I think the Hot Pockets might be the final push.

MY GOD I love him.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He had me at "piece of cheese," really.

[ravenofthejade.livejournal.com]

Oh hellz yes, Justin Pierce.

[leias-clone.livejournal.com]

Hah hah hah I love Wonderella! Soo funny. My favorite part is the title: "Lady and the Vamp."

I'm a sucker for puns. :)

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

He's resisting the media training!!!

I love that bloke so much.

He has made this whole year so much better.

[sucrelefey.livejournal.com]

I love the red pen editing remark in Wonderella.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to get that bit clear enough to make an icon of it. It is so going to be my writing icon from now on.

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

....I think I have finally fallen for RPattz. God love him, he's got people slavering to make him the next Big Hot Thing, and he's shuffling around in holey slippers drinking peach Snapple and buying junker cars. It's like if Satan took Jesus up on the mountaintop and was all, "ALL THIS WILL YOU HAVE IF YOU BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME" and Jesus said, "No, I'm good, I've got this second-hand camel I'm training and this robe's only a little bit stained. Want some wine? I made it myself." You know Satan's standing there all, "Okay, you're not getting the grandeur here, kid."

[abbreviated-kt.livejournal.com]

This comment is perfect.

[angulique.livejournal.com]

Oh, RPattz. You are fugging AWESOME.

[unicornluvr.livejournal.com]

As I was looking at the Jezebel Snap Judgement featuring RPattz & his insane hair, my mother walks by and goes "I need to change my shirt for dinner so I don't feel like a hobo."

She then looked concerned as I giggled and snorted into the computer, possibly afraid I was having a seizure, and goes "What?".

God I love coming home to visit.

[pop-tothepeople.livejournal.com]

this post was just full of win.

RPATTZ IS SUCH A HOBO!
http://jezebel.com/5080552/bella-and-edward-hit-the-blood-red-carpet
this hair was already killing me with lulz and then I saw one comment there: "I'm sorry, I'm so distracted by his "I just had sex" hair."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
so true... really! IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE AFTER SEX HAIR. OMG.

one point to RPattz.

so yesterday I bought the Brazilian Vogue and there were PAGES AND PAGES about how the "hobo look" is so in right now. Damn, I couldn't read the word hobo without breaking into a fit of laughter. That's what RPattz and his refusal to shave/use shampoo/wash clothes/etc do to me.

also, I had no idea "capivara" was "capybara" in English. Cool, new word. Though I don't think I'll ever use it in a sentence - I so rarely get to use it even in Portuguese.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I had a dream about RPattz last night. I woke up slightly embarrassed but otherwise entirely ok with it.

I wonder if I should read the interview right before I go to bed, in the hope that I'll dream about something other than bronzed bodybuilders.

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

In a few decades, he'll find himself warning the young up and coming stars to not waste their fortunes... on hot pockets.

(How does he stay thin eating those?)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't think he's eating enough of them, is the problem. He looks like the kind of guy who gets most of his nutrition from beer (ah, college).

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Rpattz is my new hero. He seems so friggin human, and that is rare indeed in Hollywood. :D


Plus he's a cheapass, apparently. X)

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

"Why are we here? I feel judged!"

This made me cackle madly, as did the description of him looking "slightly befuddled". (Because, clearly, EW cannot use such colorful descriptions as "looking as though he spent a hard day's night with a gravity bong and some chronic".)

[lilgoala.livejournal.com]

''I apologized to Rob,'' says Meyer, ''for ruining his life.''

Oh Steph. Tone it down a notch.

[yellowbread.livejournal.com]

She thinks a lot of herself, doesn't she?

"Oh, I'm so sorry that I ruined his life, me with my wonderful book, which is wonderful, and has so many fans, and it's really such a brilliant piece of writing that that I just feel so responsible for being so awesome and ruining his life with all my fangirls."

[viorica8957.livejournal.com]

That "resisting the training' comment made me think of the trainers (and RPattz) like robots. "System Error. TeenStarBot080801 resisting programming. Prepare to self-destruct."

[door.livejournal.com]

No, really: has another movie ever been so continuously promoted? I feel like this is the largest and longest-running marketing blitz I've ever seen, but maybe I just haven't been paying attention?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, it's not you--I stand in awe of the sheer amount of marketing they've done. I don't know that I've ever heard of a movie where they sent the actors on a CITY TO CITY MALL TOUR after two weeks of international promotion already. I mean, the Quantum of Solace cast has been on the move for the last couple of weeks, but even MGM hasn't stooped to the old-school Tiffany-style mall tour. It's LOTR/HP-level marketing for a series most people haven't even heard of. I think that's why I'm so fascinated by it--I swear they've spent more money on the publicity than they did on the movie itself, and it's all on this gamble to establish Summit Entertainment as an industry player and launch a major new franchise.

[labonnefille.livejournal.com]

He smiles ruefully, and rakes a hand through his messy shock of bronze-highlighted hair that the studio has forbidden him to cut. It's Edward's trademark, and he's stuck with it now.


aaaaahahahahahahahahahahahha

[life-on-queen.livejournal.com]

Uh, the media training I went to was pretty much - wear navy blue or black when you want to be taken seriously, tan or beige means "love me, touch me". Never speak with your hands in your pockets, never admit you smoked dope - but it was for politicians, so maybe it's different for actors.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

tan or beige means "love me, touch me"

I... huh. That is not something I would have guessed.
