Roberta you do spoil us so & we love you for it.  Roberta has very kindly made & shared these glorious caps from the heavenly footage we were treated to yesterday.  Sit back & enjoy *sigh*  Thanks so much Roberta!

I only need to say one word – GEORGES *faints*

Awww Rob & ‘Laurine’ are so adorable together.  This scene is already one of my faves

For the love of Georges! 12 glorious minutes of Rob as George Duroy in a mash-up of five new ‘Bel Ami’ scenes. Enjoy.

Roberta made some screencaps from the latest Georges clips and I know how much you want us to share that with you

What to wear what to wear – even Georges is pondering.  The Sun is giving one lucky UK reader and their guest a chance to attend the Berlin premiere of Bel Ami:

“We’re sending one lucky reader and their guest to the German capital for the star-studded event where they’ll walk the red carpet with the film’s stars.

The winners must be available to fly to Berlin next Friday.

The film comes out in the UK on March 9, and stars R-Patz as a struggling outsider who rises to the top of Parisian high society by bedding with a string of wealthy women. …

As well as seeing the stars and attending the premiere, this amazing prize package includes return UK flights for two to Berlin and two Berlin WelcomeCards to give you free reign of the city’s transport system.

You’ll spend three nights at the historical Ellington Hotel, a relaxed, elegant, four star design hotel in the heart of the city.”

All you have to do is answer one question here.

Competition closes 10am GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 14 February 2012.  Now THAT’s a Valentine’s Day present worth winning.

Only one entry per person is permitted and you must be 18 years or older.  Please ensure you read the full Terms & Conditions.

I’m green with envy and we are talking Hulk style – Good luck you lucky lucky people.

So, click below for Berlinale’s conferences, red carpets (including our upcoming BEL AMI with Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman next Fri. Feb. 17), Q&A’s and more.

Here’s hoping they have an opportunity to interview Rob & Uma on the red carpet.

Thanks to Sandra for the tip.

I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, so imagine my surprise when Peter Knegt from IndieWire included Bel Ami in his “must see list”.  And LOL Peter *coughgayporncough* – I bet there were a lot of confused girls out there googling Bel Ami back in 2009:

“Bel Ami (Declan Donnellan, Nick Ormerod, UK)

Not to the be confused with the brand of Eastern European gay porn, “Bel Ami” instead stars Robert Pattinson in another attempt to move beyond his “Twilight” fame. The period film adapted from the book by Guy de Maupassant follows a young man’s rise to power in Paris via his manipulation of the city’s most powerful women (Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci). Perhaps the most star-studded offering at the fest, it could be (campy?) fun.”

I guess it won’t be long now until we start seeing more industry type reviews *bitesnails*.

Two clips of Rob as the charismatic and caddish Georges Duroy in ‘Bel Ami’.

Oh I just LOVE all this Bel Ami buzz.  This snippet from Evening Standard is brilliant.  LOVE the praise Rob is receiving – makes me smile from ear to ear.  “Astonishing”  Bring on the Aussie release date, just bring it on.  15 days to go for you Jules *grins*

Having made his name as Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe must now spend the years ahead stamping on his childhood image. He could take a lesson from Robert Pattinson, who appears in the astonishing new film Bel Ami, as the most charismatically repellent leading man I can recall. He makes Valmont in Les Liaisons Dangereuses look like a puppy. In another piece of counter-casting, Kristin Scott Thomas plays a lovesick matron, humiliatingly scorned. It is an unsettling premise that a handsome young man can pick off the wives of powerful men. Newspaper proprietors and politicians will keep a much closer eye on their domestic arrangements after seeing this film.
