So remember when Rob found out the hard way in Adelaide that it’s illegal to ride bikes in Australia without bike helmets.  Well that bike has now been donated by Rob to help raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service:

“Hollywood superstar Robert Pattinson has donated his road bike to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Robert became aware of the vital emergency medical and essential primary healthcare services the RFDS provides to people living in the outback during his time filming the “The Rover” in Marree, on South Australia’s Birdsville Track.

In addition to its 21 bases across Australia, the RFDS operates the Marree Health Service, which provides an outpatient nursing service, home visiting service and 24-hour medical consultations to pastoralists and tourists to the region.

The TREK Madone 3.1 WSD bicycle, valued at $2,000 RRP, will be auctioned at the ‘Wings for Life’ Gala Ball, The Bazaar Ball, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday 31 May.

Maria has put together a wonderful master post for us which you can access via the ‘SITE’ tab which is right under the banner.  Here we have all our 2014 Cannes posts right at your fingertips & we will keep updating as more posts come through 🙂

STICKY POST – SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES

“Resilience” Book 2 released today!

You all know that we promote Rob 100%, but occasionally we pull out an extra 10% to promote Nick Osborne’s novels.  As many of you know, Nick was the producer of Remember Me.  I was fortunate enough to forge a friendship with Nick due to his involvement in that movie (and my constant querying about things to which he always politely responded).  From that I may have volunteered to read an early draft of Refuge.  To my surprise, Nick sent me a copy and I never looked back.  I love Charlie & Noor’s relationship and the characters Nick has developed.  When I got to the end of Book 1 – Refuge – I couldn’t wait to find out what happens in the next instalment.  Lucky for me I read a draft of “Resilience” earlier this year and I was not disappointed.  Now I’m hanging out for the third and final instalment.  What to expect in book 2?  Everything.  Here’s the summary from Nick’s website:

As part of our 5 year anniversary celebrations, Nick has kindly agreed to personally sign 2 sets of “Refuge” and “Resilience” for us to give away.  This competition is open worldwide.  All you have to do is comment on this post and we will randomly select 2 lucky people*.

If you want more background on Nick or just want to purchase both Refuge or Resilience in paperback you should check out his website here or Refuge’s Facebook page here.  Note:  Resilience is currently only available in paperback, the ipad/Kindle version will be available from Amazon tomorrow.  I’ll update this post once it’s live.

For those who want to purchase (thanks Cindy for the links):

Good luck everyone.

*Giveaway will close at 6pm (AEST) Sunday 10 November 2013.

Earlier last year we had a requests post here for Rob edits and I thought I’d open the requests up again but this time for a wallpaper of your choice.

So here’s the deal: If you have a favourite Rob photo (good luck with that because I can never narrow it down LOL) which you’d like used for a wallpaper please email this address (robertpattinsonau@gmail.com) with the photo(s), preferably HQ size.  I’ll accept between 1 and 3 Rob photos to be used in your wallpaper request and you can give me a favourite quote/lyric or colour you’d like used in there somehow too.  It’s totally up to you though.  Deadline for sending things in will be Friday 25^th January (2 weeks) and if all goes to plan the wallpaper will feature for mid February.  I’ll pick 1 at random to work with in the first instance. Anyone interested??

Please don’t be too specific in your requests because I guarantee it will lead to disappointment on your side!!  Also, this isn’t something I can keep going back to tweak if you don’t like it I’m afraid – we are just doing this for fun, ok?  :)  We’ll just see how it goes this time and take it from there.  There will be more posts like this down the line (time willing) if there’s interest….

Remember please don’t provide me with any non-work related photos of Rob and let’s just focus on Rob in all his glory – there are plenty of photos to choose from!! 🙂

STICKY POST: SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW POSTS

Well I understand how frustrating it was for Aussies last week when we gave away the “Night with Robert Pattinson” prize packs sooooooo …. I’m happy to say ICON Movies have given us one (1) Blu-Ray copy of Cosmopolis to give away to a lucky Aussie! All you have to do is comment on this post – maybe tell us why you love Rob or Eric or just say you want to win and one random lucky person will be the owner of Eric on blu-ray & movie- tie in.

Update: ICON just emailed me and are now offering the movie tie-in Cosmopolis book. I’m not sure which cover it will be, but I’ll let you know as soon as I receive it.

Competition is open to Australian residents only and will close at 12.00 noon (AEST) on 24 December 2012. The winner will be announced shortly thereafter. Can’t think of a better way to kick off Christmas Eve celebrations.
