Good morning everyone. Comic Con 2009 has arrived & it looks like it’s going to be a busy day ahead. Here are some first pictures from the Press Conference  to begin the day with. So nice to see Rob smile in the first one, makes me very happy to see that.  I really hope this year’s event is a little more enjoyable for him than last years.   If that is possible with all the screaming.

 

Well I can’t.  By this I’m referrring to making Rob appear at this year’s ComiCon.  Someone seriously didn’t pay attention to what happened at last year’s event.  Are they insane to want to put him through this again – have the last 2 months in New York not been bad enough?  Clearly ComiCon has a huge security budget to ensure that noone can get near him (*cough* *cough*).  Sorry I’m a little passionate about the fact that they pimp him out for these events.  Quite frankly I haven’t posted any other ComiCon news because personally, until I actually see him there, I won’t believe it (I remember they said the same thing about Rob attending the Nickelodeon Awards and suggested his appearance at the Hot Topic midnight release of Twlight DVD – both didn’t happen).   Anway what has got me going is Variety.com’s article by Thompson on Hollywood (click on link if you want to read full article):

“Thursday’s crazy madness will be the Twilight: New Moon panel. Heartthrob Rob Pattinson will appear (reminder: must pack earplugs) with co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner and director Chris Weitz, but lovelorn vampire Edward Cullen isn’t the main character in the movie, so Pattinson won’t participate in any backstage interviews. Summit is screening Twilight for the fans with cast members on hand. Summit is scheduled to film the third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, from August 17 through October 31 in Vancouver with David Slade (30 Days of Night) directing Melissa Rosenberg’s screenplay.”

I think the backstage interviews are the least of his worries.  And what do you mean “Edward Cullen isn’t the main character in New Moon”?  I’m in shock.  I was really under the misapprehension that all Twilight books are written with Edward Cullen as the main character – I better go back and reread them.  Sorry the sarcasm kicks in because these people actually try to pass themselves off as journos.  Okay so here is my argument – if Rob isn’t one of the main characters in New Moon and doesn’t need to do any “backstage interviews” – then he can be easily replaced by one of the other secondary characters like Ashley, Klutz or hey – even Billy Burke – he’s going  – so Rob doesn’t need to go – right.  Problem solved.  Just looking out for you Rob because I remember the backstage photo from last year and you DON”T need to go through that again.

I’ve been set the challenge to prove that Rob is just as gorgeous in his beanie as without. I know a lot of you prefer the hand through hair rather than the baseball cap or especially the beanie, but personally I love them all (hey I’m not criticising your choices, but I adore him in the beanie – even from as far back as Goblet of Fire days – it’s just typical Rob).  So Kathryn if the pics above don’t convince you, then maybe Cilla’s video below might.  If not, then I guess we will have to agree to disagree, but you tell me – would you refuse Rob if he turned up looking like this?

Note:  Never let it be said that I don’t formulate a good argument – lol.

I didn’t think it was possible, well maybe I did considering how many photographers there were around Rob at Cannes, but here are a few more photos from the Inglorius Basterds premiere.  I’ve just picked a few of my personal favourites because there were a total of 27 – so to avoid having a relapse of the repetitive strain injury I suffered during Cannes – you can see the remaining 22 at our Gallery.  I’ve even set it up so it should take you straight to the right page.  Thanks to Everglow.

Thanks to Lion and Lamb Love, here are pictures of Rob at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS. I think you’d agree if I said that the pictures speak for themselves.  Rob in a tux, his hair coiffed and no ‘brown bubble jacket’ in sight

Here are a few more photos from “Inglorious Basterds”.  This first one was just too beautiful for me to post as a small version (sorry screaming fangirl has emerged ever so slightly) and I know I know Cilla & Michelle another profile shot, but what can I say – this one even has that half smile we all love so much.  C’mon I dare anyone to tell me that it shouldn’t be posted like this.  Thanks to azulskies and rpattzdaily.
