Nov 5 2008Robert Pattinson is apparently some kind of heartthrob

Robert Pattinson, star of the chock full o' brooding film Twilight, is your new heartthrob, ladies. Or at least that's what the Tiger Beat on The Geekologie Writer's desk told me. Anyway, I don't really see the appeal of this guy. He looks baked out of his mind in every single shot. And to prove my point, check out how he signed his name on the hand imprint at Planet Hollywood in New York yesterday. What was the thought process here? " Hmm, let's see. Lots of letters in my name - better start in the middle. That makes sense. R... O... B... shit. Now would me a good time for my chicken fingers to arrive."

Me thinks pit stains are sexy!!

He is a little bit sexy....
<3

He's apparently not heard of anti-perspirant eiher. How could you miss that?!

wearing a grey shirt is a pretty bad idea if you're a sweaty cunt

He's so hot, the pit stains don't matter!

his left breast pocket is unbuttoned too, get him!

I'd do him:)

@6 Grace, how about the pee stains on the front of his pants??

I love when Hollywood tells me who I think is attractive.

You can keep your sweaty butterface secret crush to yourself Hollywood, no thanks.

he looks edgy...

Yeah... He's pretty hot, slightly sleazy looking too.

stocking cap and matching tie. attire of (sweaty) douchebags.

He's sexy because he about to play one of the sexiest characters every written--Edward Cullen!

who? and what the eff is twilight?

Um, perspire much shit-face?

And WTF is Twilight and who the fuck is this ugly oily looking retarded ass-fuck?

This guy ruined Edward for me. He's so damn fugggggggg

For a Brit, he sure has nice teeth.

This turd looks like the "evil face on the back of the skull" woman from the Southwest Airlines who is at the ticket counter and turns around to add charges.

#7 made me lol

eh. Hes ok looking. There are so many much better looking English men though.

Where is Heidi Montag ? :P

Canada is Americas hat.

I bet he'd make Kimbo Slice a nice bride

23- Thanks you!!! ha!

lol Hes a hearttrob? why not! so was William Hung!!!!!

I actually met this guy in LA about a month ago. He's a typical hollywood asshat. I don't understand the appeal, looks like a douche and acts like one too, at least the personality fits the looks i guess.

# 20 made me lol - and fuck yea, I'd take the pee stains too!

That's unfortunate #27. I don't get the appeal of this guy, this movie, or this book. Probably because I'm not a 14 year old girl.

The unibrow gives one many styling options. He should leave a patch by itself in the middle.

He screams G-A-Y.

He looks like the douche-nougat from Green Day.

if his armpits are anywhere near as hairy as his eyebrows, i think i know why he's "leaking". side-note... i thought crooked hats went out of style when i was in the 8th grade?

Ugly as hell and the hand print is freakin hilarious!

edward is supposed to be so much more handsome

also: "I don't really see the appeal of this guy. He looks baked out of his mind in every single shot. "

an equation to remember:
stoners = sexy

#23 and you know what's underneath that hat? An actual brain.

Isn't that the flat chested man thing that is dating Lindsay Lohan?? Ew it has pit stains now, even dirtier.

What a crusty looking shitstain.

he's got the douche eyebrow thing goin' on. Whoo! Douche!

He's a nerd, but Twilight has a built-in fanbase of young girls. It doesn't matter who they put in there. You could cast Chris Elliott as their beloved "Edward" and they would still scream and holler.

It's like algebra. X ( genre with built-in fanbase ) + Y ( generic dude who producers don't have to pay very much ) = Z ( fad ). Put "Robert Pattinson" into a real movie with an original script and he couldn't sell a single ticket.

I dont know why but he is much cuter in the movie with vampire makeup than in rela life....Weird

SUPERFICIAL WRITER, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON ON HERE!!!!! EFFECTIVE NOW!!!

SUPERFICIAL WRITER, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON ON HERE!!!!! EFFECTIVE NOW!!!

I think he's very hot.

I LOVE him, he is so friggin hot!

So yummy.

I've seen his profile on the millionaire & celebrity dating club^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^ ^^^^ for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating.

He looks...greasy.

he looks like a troll.

#42 "I dont know why but he is much cuter in the movie with vampire makeup than in rela life....Weird"


maybe because he's wearing makeup?

Not nearly beautiful enough to be Edward. I'm sure there were plenty of other much more attractive guys who could play the part better. (And for those of you who have no idea who he is, he also plays Cedric in the HP4 movie.)

Okay, i want to know what the hell was this guy doing that was so strenuous at planet hollywood that this douche nozzle broke into a massive sweat that drenched his pits. Jesus it looks like someone just sprayed him with a hose. Its called anti-perspirant, you might want to try some, douchenozzle.

I guess between 7:47pm-8:53pm the teenage girls who are disney zombies jump on here with their comments. Go hug your Miley or Zack posters.

This is not how I pictured Edward, I'm so disappointed.

He looks like he's got a bad comb-over carefully disguised as a "hat". Not bad for a sweaty retarded guy, I guess.

to all you haterz- you are probably jealous that no girl wants to do you... freaking freaks
robert pattinson is mad hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

to all you haterz- you are probably jealous that no girl wants to do you... freaking freaks

Maybe if he lost the knit cap he wouldn't sweat so much!!

WE have a panic situation here, folks?

Looks like we've finally found someone who can really give Spencer a run for his money.

I LOOOOVE HIM! He is so down to earth in real life! I don't think he's grasped the magnitude of his stardom yet. He'll be HUGE!! Just wait! Oh & I'm late 20's & I loooved the books. So it's not just a teen based appeal...everyone at my work loved them too & we have a broad age spectrum. The only downfall is that with all the tools & poor excuses for men out there no guy will ever measure up again! :( Sad really...maybe if we could force all the men out there to read it they'd get a clue.... Guess that's why they call it fiction... *sighhh*

@25 & 37 - Does the make Mexico Americas ass?

ew

he was in one of the Harry Potter movies...if he weren't "famous" he'd probably be at a bar getting shot down...because of his lame self-absorbed attempts at scoring.

You just don't understand his kind of sexy. Become a teenage girl, read the Twilight Saga, and then we will talk.

yeah he is indeed handsome and cute . many woman will be absorbed by him .what's more i hfound her profile on www.bigbisexual.com on her profile there re some pics about a girl . a white girl . it's said that he is dating with the girl .but to be honest . i dont know about her . someone can tell me some details about her ? thank u ?

#53 Please make up your mind. Is douche nozzle one word or two. And an FYI, calling someone a douche nozzle more than once in a comment automatically points said douche nozzle back to the douche nozzle over using aforementioned insult.

haha all this male competition is funny

but #7 was sooo funny... how dare he overlook that left button

i always pictured Henry Cavill as edward . Robert = fail

@74...I never thought of that but yea Henry Cavill would work

theyre going to have to pretty him up for this movie for suuure

N° 9 wow !!! so funnyI had a great laugh

Yes it does.

@15:"who? and what the eff is twilight?"
It's a book mostly read by teen (or preteen) girls and old goth women. You know because they believe being a vampire is SOOO COOL and they are dumb enough to say things like "The only downfall is that with all the tools & poor excuses for men out there no guy will ever measure up again!" (thanks to #62 for giving us such a fine example)

if he would lose the hat, he would be super hot. he sort of has the creepy, scuzzy, but mysterious and dirty (in a good way) jonathan rhys meyers type of hot.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

That guy is pretty hot but I don't know what the hell twilight is.

WOW... #62.... your a huge fat chick aren't you? You are embarassing yourself.

WOW... #62.... you're a huge fat chick aren't you? You are embarassing yourself.

HOLY MOLY HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE IT HURTS.

What I find amazing is a woman's ability to equate some kind of performance talent to "cute." This guy, at least from these photos, certainly doesn't come across as "cute," "fine," or "OMG handsome." Take off his tie and he looks like any guy in high school shop class. But give him a role on TV or in a movie, or hand him a guitar, and all of a sudden he's transformed into something that gets women damp in the panties. At least men understand that talent doesn't somehow bolster your looks. Ellen DeGeneres is all kinds of talented doing stand up, but I think even she'd agree she's not pretty. America Ferrera doesn't get better looking because she can act. Nikki Blonski doesn't turn into a Victoria's Secret model when she sings.

Hmmm.....my 13 year old daughter has read all those books and she is SUPER pissed that they used that guy. Apparently he looks nothing like the character in the book. She doesn't think he's cute.

But I do........wah hahahahhhaha!!

He's just your average sleazy, crusty, sweaty, dirty, untalented, greasy, cheesy, stinking shitstain.

Fuck Edward Cullen. Cedric Diggory ftw.

#74 -- apparently Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer's (Twilight author) original vision of Edward. I wonder why they didn't use him.

About Twilight being a teen thing... yeah, it is for sure, but I'm over 40 and I loved the books too. As far as this dude being Edward, he isn't how I pictured Edward either, but I'm withholding judgement until I see the movie. His look fits enough that if the performance is good he will have pulled it off.

Regarding the casting overall, I think Bella actress is right on, but the vampires should have been more attractive, with the exception of the Dr. Cullen actor, who seems like a perfect fit. But again, maybe it will all come together in the movie.

A few people here might know what I am talking about. I would hope most girls in the Twilight demographic aren't hanging out on a site as morally questionable as this one.

Now that I've got that out, I am going back to my adult life.

#85, Vince Lombardi, is an idiot. Women don't think that Jack Black is OMG SO HOT because he's in movies, neither do they feel the same way towards Seth Rogan, or that McLovin kid. Ellen Degeneris, America Ferrera, and Nicky Blonski are bad comparisons to this guy (even though I think America Ferrera is pretty, but you don't, so it doesn't work). Maybe if I took away his tie e would look like someone from a highchool shop class, but he as nice eyes, nice teeth, a nice body, and really nice bone structure; therefore, girls would still find him attractive. Regardless of acting resume.

@ 85: Maybe it's because women aren't as shallow as men.

Wow sir, you're a real idiot for bashing on Rob. Not only is he brutally good looking and probably making 10x what you are at the moment-he's extremely down to earth and nice. This fame hit him like a ton of bricks and he has yet to learn how to handle it..he had no intentions of all this attention. Give him a break and try to sit and talk with him before you talk crap. Geez your an idiot.

He reminds me of a young Jouquin Phoenix, who may be a good actor but is not one of the most attractive people I can think of.

Also, I tried to read Twilight and I just got annoyed. Damn it, kiss her, bite her, do SOMETHING other than whine about how they are no good for each other. You would have to be a teenage girl to like that book.

Oh get off him already. You don't think he's good looking? Fine, but stop calling him names. It only makes you look like a belligerent child. Go find someone you do like to drool over. Scrolling through comment after comment of crude nastiness is just annoying.

And no, I don't care about Robert Pattinson one way or the other, but it would be interesting to see people comment without attacking things as though they just crawled out of the nearest gutter.

I agree, he's no Edward. I know they could have picked probably anyone else in the room to look more the part. I hope he's incredibly talented, but I'm not optimistic.

he actually is (or was?) a good looking guy, in many photos and Harry Potter 4. i think he wasnt experienced or mature enough to get cast in a role with such a large fanbase and is going nuts. he seems to be cracking and doing drugs from the strain of his sudden fame. he needs to clean himself up and realize what he has going is a good thing instead of just showing up looking like Amy Winehouse

i hope all the guys who read this page realize ---

he looks as much in real life like his photoshopped promo photos of himself as your precious "beautiful" female stars look like theirs.

id hit that!

hes pretty hot. drool!

you can't even make fun of him... his pit stains and everything are way hot.. no joke

I was there , the reason why his autograph's fucked up is cause the cement got hard cause he showed up late. He's gorge.

he's ugly
and sweats like a bitch

twilights overrated,
and he's ugly, so so is he.

LOOK KIND OF FUNKY TO ME!! DUDE SHOULD INVEST IN SOME GOOD DEODORANT!!

This is the guy the author originally wanted for Edward:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0147147/

Much better choice, I think.

Unibrow? check...
Uncontrollable sweat? check..
Stinks like B.O.? check...

Well he's got 3 hot qualities there!

Cedric Diggory is hawt!!!

...and has dreamy eyes!!!
I don't care if he does look baked...as long as he shares:P

Did he forget his deodorant? That's so gross.

he's actually a pretty decent actor. most of his work before hp and twilight consisted of period pieces and a movie for british tv. he also has a biopic on salvador dali that looks pretty interesting. i don't think people should brush the dude off for trying to make a buck capitalizing on teenage hormones.
p.s and the whole greasy thing is "so in right now' w/ young hollywood hahah

DRUG ADDICT!
REHAB!
oh and ... uh ...
GAY!

Please give Robert Pattinson a break-everybody sweats even with deodorant on!!!! Have some of you considered that he might be a little stressed out with all of the fans screaming at him? Plus the movie isn't even out yet and his performance is already being discussed. I've seen lots of photos of him and IMO he's very attractive with and without makeup.

Uuuugh, SO HOT. I love you, Rob :)

Robert wouldn't of been my first pick for Edward either. I would of picked someone like Jay Kenneth Johnson (Phillip Days of Our Lives), Hayden Christensen, or even Chace Crawford. I can't see Henry Cavill as Edward at all, he looks too old to be 17 first of all and second of all I don't see him looking that great with blonder colored hair. I can't think of anyone that is actually around 17 years old that would of been a good choice for Edward either, since Edward is described as kind of looking like a Greek God. I can live with Pattinson I guess, but I still think there were better choices for his part. No one could possibly measure up to what Edward is in the book, as far as looks go, but still they could of done better with the casting of him. Kristen Stewart as Bella is right on, that is exactly how I picture Bella. The only cast member that looks out of place to me is Nikki Reed as Rosalie. Since Nikki is naturally dark haired, putting a blond wig on her looks so strange and fake. I'd also like to add that not everyone that read the Twilight books are teenagers or goth women, whatever you said. Lots of people read them! Probably not a lot of people that come on this site read them, but a lot of people do lol...

ok like rob is absolultly handsome and it does not matter what he looks like cause that is just bening so damn superficial and he is an awsome actor and it's not his fault that he looks this way , maybe he didn't have time to put deodorent on with all this papparazzie stalking him give him a break , maybe he woke up late but it is not his fault so leave him alone he is sexy and will always be . Man i would so want to date him i mean it is not all about looks and in the movie twilight he is so hott so anyone who thinks he is ugly .,....well they can just go screw there dad or somethign but rob is an awsome edward in the movie .

Oh please, girls just like him because he's gonna play Edward Cullen, when he was playing Cedric there was what... 1/20 of girls who thought he was hot. And Twilight is so juvenile/stupid. Honestly, vampires who SHINY in the sun? A supposed-to-be super hot vampire who is a virgin since 1901? Yeah, right. What is Stephenie Meyer, 13?

and how old are u jess 5?

i don't think anyone should criticize an artist just because ur a slut and u want the main character to sleep with everyone........if u want that kind of story there are many selections to choose from

He looks alot better with his facial hair shaved; like in twilight.

Okay, who cares....
Like No one here has accidently stepped out of the house in a rush and forgot to put deodorant. He's ONLY HUMAN, in case you guys forgot. I think he is a Great Actor and Great Musician, it's awkward seeing girls like almost die when the trailers are on oh my gosh. Poor Rob, I can't imagine what it's like walking into a million flash and hearing nothing but 'AHHHH' 'Oh my God, I Love You Rob' 'AHHHH' 'Bite Me'. Whoa, Your BRAVE! Well, I think its crazy, because half this "girls" are in love with "Edward Cullen" and are too young to even look at. I am not going to LIE I find Robert VERY attractive but like most assumptions...It's because everything his character is HOTT, We'll he makes Edward hot, but I prefer Messy hair and The blue eyes. I am also amazed at the fact that he can not find anyone to date? I mean maybe he means he goes on dates but no one wants a relationship he might want??? I am guessing. I know, I would be in line but ya know he famous I think once he finds someone it will be overwhelming to keep them. Whether he wants to commit or they do. I think I would agree to dating where no one knows so it was on the DL, I couldn't imagine every girl alive hating me or every photographer trying to snap a picture with a stupid story to it. UGH, Stressfull just thinking about it. Is this like a Celebrity Bashing page? It seems like you have alot of bashing on here. Well I have said enough lol. Rob, take care one day you will be able to walk down the street without having people follow you screaming at you. When that is I dont know but it will eventually come hopefully =)

People always assume that Twilight appeals to only teenagers...but Ive seen moms going ga-ga over this guy..

Maybe he really looked good in the movie but I hope in real life he acts more heartthrob-ish...

I don't understand the whole heartthrob thing. I mean, sure, people sweat- but this guy should realize by now that he's in the eye of the media. Amber said "Like No one here has accidently stepped out of the house in a rush and forgot to put deodorant. He's ONLY HUMAN" But if he just stepped out of the house in a rush on his way to Planet Hollywood to promote Twilight, then he's not very dedicated to his fans or the movie that made him famous (Lets face it, Harry Potter didn't do anything for him compared to Twilight) Its part of this guy's job to look good in public. We're all only human, but if a doctor forgets to wash his/her hands before brain surgury, do we say it's alright because they're only human? It's their JOB. This guy gets paid to show up looking good, stick his hands in clay, and write his name-- and he can't even do that to the best of his ability? Sure, I don't know him as a person, but from what I've seen of him in the media, he's not the kind of actor I'd look up to. Have you seen what actors like Johnny Depp do? A little boy asked for a hat he was wearing during filming, and he promised he could have it when the movie was finished. He followed through with that promise. Johnny does tons of things for his fans, he cares. Robert has yet to gain my respect in that way. Johnny Depp has this thing, where no matter what he wears he'll always look like a god. He can try to downplay his looks to no end, but he will always, always, look amazing. Robert has to understand he doesnt have that same privilage, and it would be nice if he tried a little harder. It seems like he's actually trying to look like he's NOT trying. As if, he's going for an "I'm too cool to care" look. When Johnny Depp wears his piles of jewellry, it has meaning. Like a bracelet with the name of an aspiring child actor who died of cancer, or a bracelet his daughter made. (Yeah, I kind of have a thing for Johnny Depp, but at least he's admirable!) And Robert has a unibrow. I mean, there's hair in between his eyebrows. When you know that close-up pictures will be taken of you, you pluck it. Seriously...

So until this guy learns that people watch him and that he has to step it up, I really don't see reason for his success to continue. It doesnt matter how talented you are, public appearances are part of the job.

wow. people really start up big conversations on here about this. I do think he is hot. I also think the girl who starred as Bella fit the look to a T but def not a good actress in the movie. To me, she came across rude and mean. But i did like it and i love the books. And yes, Robert is super fine.

well,,,
i personally am madly in love with rob,,
my family is worried about me..
ha ha
i hated and thought he was
the ugliest thing
i have ever seen
until i read the books
and seen the movie,,
now i know everything
about this guy
he is not perfect
but i not a horrible
person either,,
i think now that
any girl that he has
ever purposed to
is extremely lucky
and they all have said no,,
but you have no idea
of what i would say if he purposed
to me,,i would pass out on the floor
i dont even care that he
has purposed about
10 times,,,but i will kill
someone to be with
robert thomas pattinson
-falon(pattinson)[nickname]

wow all u stupid fuktards shud really get a life.
i mean if u really hate him that much then y waste ur tme looking him up and wrting shit about him it really doesnt make him and less beautiful or fascinating.
i love him all the time.
hes an amazing actor.
he isnt edward afterall hes not perfect.
but i think hes amazing
