Here’s another brand-new clip from the movie LIttle Ashes in which Robert Pattinson plays Salvador Dali.

Given the huge number of comments in our recent post about Robert Pattinson being stinky on the set of New Moon, the story has obviously hit a nerve. Amanda Bell at the Examiner sums up some of the press coverage of the (finger quote) “news”–

Recent reports by MTV, the Sun Times and others are attacking Twilight, New Moon, and Little Ashes star Robert Pattinson for his personal hygiene — as if things couldn’t get more ridiculous for the handsome thrust-into-the-spotlight beau.

Bill Zwecker from the Chicago Sun Times writes “On the one hand, there’s buzz from some staffers that the British actor’s ‘typical European aversion of daily showers’ has people sticking up their noses in disgust every time they get close enough to get a whiff of him.” Despite official denials such as those from co-star Kristen Stewart’s people saying (with latent pun) “Hogwash” and “Where do these stories come from?” Zwecker still maintains ‘Having listened to all this, I must report several colleagues who did Twilight interviews last fall did claim Pattinson threw off a bit of a stench.’ This, Zwecker states beyond the assertion by a “New Moon rep” that “It must really be a slow news day.”

Amanda then gives some reasons why this happened, and how it could have been avoided–but at the cost of Robert Pattinson not being himself in interviews–

Poor Rob. With the constant media frenzy surrounding him, the grace and dignity with which he addresses both the media (paparazzi aside) and his fans, the constant and ground-breaking success of his current works, and the beautiful photographs that continue to make headway across the globe of his clearly washed hair, that there would be more positive news surfacing from such sources. But alas, this is America, and we do love a scandal (for instance, see my response to attacks on Kristen Stewart). Too bad.

Robert Pattinson has given his thoughts on New Moon–and he feels it’s a pretty tough sell:

“The book of ‘New Moon,’ the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson told Reuters. “Obviously ‘Twilight’ was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, but ‘New Moon’ is really about loss and reconciliation, but the reconciliation isn’t completely full.”

“It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story,” he said.

Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make “New Moon” as big a success as “Twilight.”

Variety is reporting that Robert Pattinson may star in the romantic drama Memoirs–

“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson is in talks to star in Summit Entertainment’s romance-drama “Memoirs.”

Allen Coulter, whose credits include “Hollywoodland,” “The Sopranos” and “Damages,” is in talks to direct “Memoirs.”Nick Osborne and Trevor Engelson are producing through their Underground Films banner.

The script, originally penned by Will Fetters, centers on a pair of star-crossed lovers who meet and fall in love while struggling to deal with family tragedies that threaten their relationship.

Meanwhile, the Risky Biz blog questions whether fans will stick with Robert Pattinson after the Twilight series is over–

But what Pattinson-mania doesn’t address is his post-”Twlight” drawing power — a time that is coming sooner than you’d think, given that three of the four potential movies in the franchise will have come out by next summer. Sure, tons of teenage girls went to see him in “Twlight,” but they went to see him in an adaptation of a book they’ve adored and re-read. Will they flock to him when he’s not an unattainable, chaste member of the undead?

Ryan Reynolds, who is quite droolworthy himself, definitely understands the attraction to New Moon vamp Robert Pattinson–

While promoting his new film Adventureland, Reynolds gushed about the British hottie to MTV. “I love Twilight,” he told the network. “Oh my God, are you kidding me? Robert Pattinson in a word: dreamy.”

When MTV asked if Reynolds would like to do a movie with Pattinson and “stare into his beautiful British eyes,” Reynolds mischievously replied: “Oh are you kidding me? Look, I’m not gay – but I’m thinking about it.”

In today’s 2nd piece of news of dubious origin, apparently crewmembers on the set of New Moon are raising a stink over Robert Pattinson’s stench:

“He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy,” dishes someone who works in very close quarters with Pattz. Apparently our shaggy-haired love never rinses that bod of his, as Keanu and Brad have famously not done, as well, during extended periods of their hunky lives. Like, ever. And it’s past the point of a little BO. “He completely reeks,” complains an annoyed crewmember.

Hey, maybe he just wants to smell worse than the wolves!

In today’s news of questionable origin, National Enquirer (yeah….) reporter Mike Walker is claiming that Robert Pattinson scored an ouchie on the set of the New Moon movie filming in Vancouver:

“During filming of his upcoming flick, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in Vancouver, Pattinson had just started shooting a scene when a rogue gust of violent wind tore a heavy metal sign from a post. It shot across the location so fast no one even managed to shout a warning at Pattinson, who was just opening his mouth to emote when…WHAM!…the unguided missile smashed into the back of his head.”

Walker writes that Rob dropped and “then lay deadly still as cast and crew ran to help, sending out a radio call for an ambulance. Finally, Pattinson – looking like he’d had the blood sucked from him – began moving feebly, disoriented, but able to speak. The crew put ice packs on a knot sized lump, and by the time medics arrived, the star was coherent and insisting he was fine. Taking no chances, the director canceled filming. Pattinson was ordered back to his hotel, but returned the next day – sporting a lump.”

UPDATE: Surprise! Ok, not really a surprise at all. This is completely false–

Robert Pattinson was not injured during the shooting for “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon”. Quick to throw cold water to the circulating report was the “Twilight” star’s representative. “This story is completely false. Robert has not been injured in any way and no version of the story ever occurred,” the rep said as quoted by Radar Online.

Here are two new Robert Pattinson photoshoots scanned in from foreign magazines that I haven’t seen yet. They’re both from Japan, evidently taken during the recent press tour for Twilight. Twicrack dug up both of these–one from rekcusho at Lion & Lamb, and the other from PinkLien on IMDB.
