UPDATE: Following reports from ROBsessed and GossipCOP that the Daily Record story was a fabrication, we reached out to Pattinson's representation for clarification. The response we got is that he never spoke to them. Consider this "interview" debunked.

FROM MTV.COM: Following the November blockbuster release of "New Moon," Robert Pattinson has maintained a relatively low profile as he geared up to begin filming "Bel Ami" alongside Uma Thurman in Europe. That cloud of welcome anonymity is about to break, though, as the PR machine ramps up for another RPattz film release: the romantic drama "Remember Me."

In an interview with the Scottish Daily Record, Pattinson spoke of his paranoia about relationships, the eventual end of the "Twilight" series and some very intimate on-camera time he'll soon share with Thurman.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Last month, we gave you the first look at Lady Gaga on the cover of "Fame," Bluewater Productions' new line of celebrity biography comics. While Gaga's debut was certainly big news, "Twilight" fans were most excited about the presence of franchise actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the "Fame" lineup.

Now, we have your first look at a new cover for "Fame: Robert Pattinson," as well as an exclusive preview of interior art from the comic. Arriving on shelves in May, the 32-page comic promises to "trace Pattinson's career from his first performance in Tess of the D'Urbervilles at London's Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies."

Read on for two covers from "Fame: Robert Pattinson" (including a new cover by Paul Andrew Manton), as well as an exclusive page of unfinished interior art from artist Nathaniel Ooten. The comic is written by Kim Sherman.

The stars of "Twilight" are certainly capitalizing on the success of the angsty vampire phenomenon. I just wonder: with such a large portion of the ensemble landing roles in other films, what will that mean for the production of the still-unannounced adaptation of "Breaking Dawn," the final chapter in Stephenie Meyer's series? Hard to say, but that definitely leaves a big question mark hovering over this latest bit of potential casting news.

The word is that Robert Pattinson may soon be sharing a bill with two-time Best Actor Oscar winner Sean Penn in an adaptation of Sara Gruen's best-selling book, "Water for Elephants," Variety reported yesterday. The news describes the two superstars as "circling" the gig -- ie they're in talks right now -- though Variety mentions that Pattinson at least will likely land the part. Read more...

FROM MTV.COM: "New York, I Love You" star Christina Ricci is reportedly joining Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman in the film "Bel Ami," according to a tweet from ProductionWeekly.com. A rep for Ricci had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment at press time.

"Bel Ami," filming for which is slated to begin next month in Paris, is an adaptation of an 1885 Guy de Maupassant short story and stars Pattinson as young journalist George Duroy, who rises from rags to riches by seducing Paris' influential society women. Ricci will play Clotilde de Marelle, the wife of an oft-away railway inspector who strikes up a relationship with Duroy. The film also stars Thurman as Clotilde's friend Madeleine Forestier, a onetime friend and mentor who becomes Duroy's lover, and Kristin Scott Thomas as another of Duroy's socialite paramours.

As anyone who has seen both "Daybreakers" and "Twilight" will tell you, there's a night-and-uhhh... other night difference between their respective treatments of the vampire mythos. You might also expect that each story's hero vampire -- high-schooler Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and scientist Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) -- are vastly different. Wrong. Despite the vast differences in tone between the two movies, the two Edwards are actually remarkably similar in some fundamental ways.

Let's delve a little deeper into the similarities, shall we? Readers beware: spoilers lie ahead for both movies. I won't be spoiling any major twists for "Daybreakers" (there are a few), but if you want to remain entirely pure, you'd best wait until after seeing the movie to read this feature. Read more...

Did you tune in last night for the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards? If you didn't then you missed a pretty funny "Twilight" send-up. Show host Queen Latifah was inserted into Robert Pattinson's forest break-up scene from "New Moon," replacing Kristen Stewart. Instead of sharing a touching moment, Latifah uses the time to negotiate an awards show appearance with the sparkly vampire. When that doesn't pan out and Pattinson disappears, the pop star shrugs and says "I'll just get the werewolf to do the show."

That's right Twilighters. I know you've been waiting patiently while James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" shoves "New Moon" down in the box office rankings (such is the way of things), but that doesn't mean things aren't percolating with Summit Entertainment on the "Twilight" front.

You might have seen this first image from "Eclipse" elsewhere, but it's now officially online for your viewing pleasure. It's not a terribly action-packed moment, but I'm sure it's enough to keep you on the edge of your seat for more. Look for that "more" to arrive soon enough, as the June 30, 2010 release date inches closer.

FROM MTV.COM: When "Spider-Man 3" actress Bryce Dallas Howard was tapped to replace Rachelle Lefevre as vampire Victoria in the third "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," the 28-year-old didn't need a last-minute study session to ace her character. She was already a fan of the wildly popular series.

"I had already read the books. I had actually seen 'Twilight' several times, much to my husband's chagrin," Howard told MTV News while promoting her upcoming release, "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond." "Whenever Robert Pattinson would come onscreen, I would grab my husband's hands and start squeezing, and he'd be like, 'Stop squeezing my hand!' "

FROM MTV.COM: Until now, little has been known about the upcoming film "Unbound Captives," except for the fact that Robert Pattinson was going to star in it. For Twilighters, that was all they needed to know. The ironic thing is, RPattz's co-star, Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, has plenty of details to dish about the drama but knows virtually nothing about "Twilight."

"Meeting him was vampiric. He sucked my blood," laughed Weisz, remembering their introduction. "Wait, is he the vampire? He is the vampire, right?"

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Having been heralded to fame by the "Twilight Saga" and the once-fledgling Summit studio behind the mega-successful franchise, Robert Pattinson can't help but wonder sometimes if it's all just a fluke. "I've only done one movie outside of the 'Twilight' series, 'Remember Me,' "Rob recently said about his first post-fame project with Emilie de Ravin and Pierce Brosnan. "But even that I did with the same studio, so I guess I'm still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability will be outside of the series."

Robert will be testing that "economic viability" with several projects throughout 2010 including the Guy de Maupassant adaptation "Bel Ami" with Uma Thurman and the Western "Unbound Captives," which the actor discussed recently with MTV News.
