Man, he’s a bloody gorgeous man.

How did Robert Pattinson land his role as sexy vampire Edward in Twilight?

“I took half a Valium and then went into this thing — and all this stuff happened,” he tells April’s GQ of his audition.

“It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium,” he later adds. “A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired — I was passing out.”

Still, he won over costar Kristen Stewart, who plays his love interest, Bella.

“Everybody came in doing something empty and shallow and thoughtless,” says the actress, who demanded that he get the gig. “…Rob understood that it wasn’t a frivolous role.”

Pattinson admits he hasn’t seen any movie he’s been in — even Twilight.

At the Los Angeles premiere, he managed to sit through the first 10 minutes before fleeing.

“I went out and sat in the car, having a full-blown panic attack,” recalls the actor, who is shooting the film’s sequel New Moon.

He adds that he’s “not massively concerned about doing lots of acting jobs.”

“If it all just went, right now, I’d be like, ‘All right. I don’t really care,’” he says. “That’s probably a stupid thing to say. But I don’t, really. I think it’d be much worse to do a load of stuff that’s really bad.”

As for his love life, he tells GQ, “There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me.”

“There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend,” he goes on. “There’s this one girl who’s consistently mentioned. It’s like, ‘He’s dating this Brazilian model.’ … What’s her name —- Annelyse [Schoenberger]. I’ve never met her.”

And he never popped the question to costar Stewart, either.

“I said that in some interview, as a joke — ‘Oh, I proposed to her multiple times,’” he says. “And then it gets printed: ‘On the set, he proposed multiple times.’”

Of Camilla Belle (with whom he’s been photographed), he says he didn’t steal her “from the Jonas brother.”

He says she’s “the nicest — she’s a saint” — but insists they’re just buds.

“I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers,” he says. “I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.”

As I’ve said in the past, I liked Twilight, but it could have been so much better!  I think Catherine Hardwicke butchered Twilight, and I’m relieved she won’t be back to butcher the next three! I thought the movie was so cheesy, and it could have been a great movie.

Juan Antonio Bayona, a protégé of Guillermo del Toro who’s best known for the stylish Spanish-language scarefest The Orphanage, has been tapped to direct the franchise’s third installment, Eclipse, Variety reports.

Although he’s never directed an English-language film, Bayona’s skilled way with the horror genre must have won over Summit Entertainment. Eclipse features an army of newborn vampires hunting down Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), culminating in a showdown with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and the werewolves.

After piloting Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke dropped out over producer Summit Entertainment’s desire to rush production on the follow-up, New Moon, and Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) signed on to direct the sequel, which is set to unspool in November.

Bayona had joined a list of possible directors that also included Drew Barrymore, James Mangold (Walk the Line) and Paul Weitz, brother of New Moon director Chris Weitz.

I went and saw Twilight again this weekend, and man, I loved it more the second time (could have had something to do with the margarita’s I was drinking)!  Just seeing the movie again makes me want more!  I can’t wait to see New Moon!!  Seeing Taylor Lautner getting ready for all the motorcycle riding that happens in New Moon gives me baby goosebumps!

Nooo!  She’s the kiss of death!

According to Ryan on E! News, Madonna will be involved in the sequel to “Twilight” which the second movie will be made on the second book of the “Twilight Saga”, “New Moon”. Guy Oseary is the executive producer to the movie starring Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart.

It is unknown to whether Madonna will either act in the second installment to the saga film or sing for the soundtrack or both.
Gaycrest also said it’s most likely she’ll both appear in the film and do the soundtrack.

Another 90210-er may be making a stop in the Twilight zone.

I’m hearing that filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight.

Heidi isn’t a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off.

The character is a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She’s also known as “bait” because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans. In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having “exceptional, unforgettable” beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes.

Sources tell me McCord has auditioned for the role. “It’s not a big part,” one of the sources said. “Heidi would be more like a cameo.”

McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel.

McCord’s rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment.

Sidenote:  I went to Borders last night to pick up The Reader (sooooooooo excited to read it!!) and there was this huge display of Twilight merchandise.  It’s crazy/creepy how much stuff there was!  There were buttons, clothes, jewelry, bookmarks, bobbleheads, I mean you name it!
