Both ScreenRant and PopSugar are reporting that Robert Pattinson has dropped out of the New Moon production! Screenrant has this to say–

In a bit of news that is sure to shock and dismay Twilight fans, production of New Moon (the next film in the series) has shut down due to a dispute on the set.

It seems that star Robert Pattinson has been butting heads with director Chris Weitz over not only script decisions, but apparent favoritism towards cast newcomer Dakota Fanning. Fanning has a much more established acting pedigree than Pattinson and according to reports he’s pretty torqued about the difference in treatment on the set.

PopSugar adds that–

His costar Taylor Lautner has already volunteered to take on the role of Edward, but there’s no word yet on what will happen.

Furthermore, Pattinson has just announced he’ll be retiring from acting altogether in 2010 –but don’t worry, he’ll be replacing Tobey McGuire in Spiderman 4!

USA Today has a great new interview with Kristen Stewart for her new movie Adventureland that comes out this week, and she adresses the ways that the Twilight phenomenom has affected her life in the public view--

Another thing that makes her stop in mid-sentence: teenage girls. A group enters the restaurant, and Stewart abruptly shuts up until they pass. She apologizes, a little embarrassed, and whispers: “If those type of girls saw me talking about Twilight, you don’t understand. If I said ‘Jacob’ too loud, they’d be like —” She makes her eyes wide and sticks her hands out like claws.

“More than three girls of that certain age — run away,” she says, laughing as the threat settles in a distant part of the patio. “Girls are scary. Large groups of girls scare the (crap) out of me.”

She says Pattinson gets it worse. “They covet him. I think half of them are so jealous that they hate me,” she jokes.

It doesn’t help that many Twilight-ers want her and Pattinson to be a real-life couple. She’s actually dating Michael Angarano, 21, whom she co-starred with in the 2004 drama Speak.

“It doesn’t make my relationship harder. It’s not like, ‘Maybe I should be with (Pattinson) to make them happy and it’ll make me more popular!’ ” Stewart laughs, adding that her real boyfriend “is totally not a threatened guy. But, dude, it sucks.”

Is it just me, or is Kristen getting a lot better at interviews lately?

A trusted source from a major men’s magazine that has tipped us off in the past with credible information has leaked this full-page advertisement set to run in the May issue of the magazine he works for. The ad is for a new fragrance called “Pattison”, which is Robert Pattinson’s foray into the crowded market of celebrity fragrances. Celebrity fragrances are all the rage nowadays, with perfumes and colognes on the market from stars such as Antonio Banderas (“Diavolo”), Hillary Duff (“With Love….”), Ewan McGregor (“Davidoff Adventure”) and David Beckham (“Instinct”).

Capitalizing on Robert Pattinson’s heartthrob status, his cologne will be one of the few celebrity fragrance bottles that actually features an etched likeness of himself, making it a wonderful collectors’ item for his female fans that may not necessarily wear it. My source also reveals that the fragrance’s release has been coordinated with his PR team, and is meant to help snuff out the ongoing rumors of Robert Pattinson’s reportedly bad stench. Instead of body odor, Pattinson’s smell will instead become synonymous with the seductive earthy scent of cedwardwood mixed with zest of orange and a hint of ginger.

What do you guys think? Will you guys buy it if it’s reasonably priced?

Check here for a copy of the full-resolution version of the ad. Read on for more details.
