Cute Butterfly Tattoo On The Neck
Lots of Robert

*whew* HUGE Rob day today. The Little Ashes trailer came out today (the real one, not just a snippet) and Rob looks awesome in it. I love how he loses himself in this role. I can't wait to see it.
The picture here is from the London premiere of "Twilight". Yes, thousands of screaming teens showed up to show Rob that, they too, can scream and screech at him as good as the Americans! Robert said of his hysterical fans: "It's absolutely mad. I'm in a daze. They're here for the character, not for me. I don't know what to do. I'm terrified of doing the sequel."
I'm wondering how true that quote really is. I'm going to guess that 80% of the tweeners that love Robert right now, call him "Edward". And will probably hate his new movie "Little Ashes" because it isn't Edward at all. I hate to think he's scared of doing the sequels because the screaming banshees have him terrified. Again, I can only imagine how well he is really holding up. It does make me happy that at least he is back home in London, with his family. There has to be a bit of sanity attached to that. I hope he can enjoy his time there to some degree. Kristen was there, too...unfortunately she brought her actor/bodyguard boyfriend with her. His name is Michael Aragano...or something like that. I never heard of him until "Twilight" came out and he was in pictures lurking behind Kristen. He's always lurking behind Kristen. He obviously doesn't have a job. And hasn't for quite some time since he seems to have so much time off to escort his girlfriend around the world. Nice life, I suppose. No offense to Kristen...but it's time to trade up, girl. The boyfriend you get at 16...is not enough for you now. You need someone a bit older...taller...better looking, say....with an English accent. You know who I mean.
On another note. I went and saw "Twilight" for the 3rd time yesterday. 6 other people in the theater. Nice. I also downloaded a version from some movie site...its not the best quality...but I love being able to watch the movie whenever I want to. Never fear, I will probably see the movie at least 2 more times...and there is no doubt in hell I will be buying the DVD when it comes out. I am already on Amazon's Twilight list to let me know when it is coming out.
Other than that...I guess I am done. Time to get some more of Rob. Lots to look at...lots to listen to. Life is good.

Reflects on Vanessa Hudgens' positives
"I am a happy person," Vanessa Hudgens says as she settles in to talk about the recent movie. The feature film is the end of a three-year journey that has made the 19-year-old Salinas, Calif., native a superstar. Her face is as well known as fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus or any one of the Jonas Brothers.
Vanessa Hudgens's got plenty of reasons to be happy. Hudgens' role as the very positive Gabriella Montez in the three films gave her a chance to do the things she loves to do: act, sing, dance. She even found romance with her leading man, Zac Efron.
That romance has not been all smiles. Tabloids and Web sites printed nude photos Hudgens had sent to Efron. That's the kind of stuff that makes Mickey Mouse blush.
Mostly, though, it has all been good. Hudgens began acting at such an early age that she was home-schooled. No traditional high-school experience for her. No prom. No graduation line.
No problem.
"That is just another reason why High School Musical means so much for me. I got to go to my prom for the first time, but it was a lot better. I got to have the prom every girl wishes they have," Hudgens says of the prom sequence in the feature film. "I got to wear a cap and gown for the first time and graduate with people who I love dearly, cast members who have become my dearest friends."
Positive, positive and more positive. That's Hudgens.
Well, there is a moment when that winning smile fades just a tad when asked about the waltz number she and Efron perform in the movie. It was a dance number that took lots of rehearsals.
She thought director/choreographer Kenny Ortega was joking when he told her about the dance. Once she realized it wasn't a joke, Hudgens took a positive approach to the number. It turned out to be one of her favorite parts of the movie.
She would do anything for High School Musical. That's because she was drawn from the first audition to the opportunity to play such a positive Latino character.
"It wasn't the stereotypical leading lady. The fact that she is Hispanic was something that I found really interesting. She is this strong, positive young woman who is always fighting for the right thing. I am very proud to be part of it. I feel there are not that many people [who] can represent for a different ethnicity," Hudgens says. "It really is an honor."

Little Ashes

*sigh* I lust after this man. I want to protect him. Conflicting emotions. Scary combination, yes?
OK. As usual, I don't really have much to say today. I didn't get to see "Twilight" today, much to my eternal sadness. We got over 6 inches of snow last night, and it was really blowing and drifting all over the place. Even though after living in Wisconson my whole life, I know how to drive in the snow, there is no need to take risks when not absolutely necessary. I have "Twilight" penciled in for tomorrow afternoon. I really REALLY need to see it again. How's that for scary?
A lot of chatter about the trailer for Rob's next movie coming out this week. "Little Ashes", where he portrays a young Salvador Dali. It is such an interesting and complex role for Rob to take on. It's definitely the polar opposite of Edward. I can't imagine the screaming teenies will want to see Robert in this role. But that's just a guess. As a TRUE fan of Robs, I really REALLY want to see this movie. Rob's acting fascinates me. How he is so willing to lose himself in his roles...how he takes his career so seriously. LOVE that. I'm just hoping that the hype of "Twilight" will let "Little Ashes" be shown somewhere that I can go and see it. And that goes for "How to Be" as well. Rob is so adorable in that one...at least from the clips that I have seen. I find myself searching for other movies of Robs now. But the majority (outside of Harry Potter, of course) were like TV movies made in England, or little unknown indie films. I'm sure that will change now. I hope so. I would like to build my Robert Pattinson Collection very soon.
That's it for now. I need to watch me some Rob. Bye for now.
