Miley Cyrus doesn't have Twilight fever – in fact she never even saw the first movie. "I've never seen it and nor will I ever," Miley tells Cleveland's Q92 radio. "I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires. I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it." (Photo: WENN)
U BLOG: What Robert Pattinson Really Wants
by Audrey Szepinski
Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight movie, recently let slip to TIME that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are, in fact, a couple. Considering the painstaking efforts by the two Twilight stars to put rumors of their relationship to rest, they’re probably a little annoyed that Hardwicke would go and say something like that without asking them first. I think it’s also safe to say that Hardwicke’s tidbit of information has also annoyed millions of Twilight fans whose fantasy is to bump into Pattinson in the local coffee shop and end up going home with him. After he and Stewart break up (they have to, they simply have to), which of these fans will Pattinson choose?
The UK’s New! magazine calls Robert Pattinson’s beauty “breathtaking” in the introduction to his interview, citing his sultry blue-gray eyes and chiseled jaw. Pattinson insists that he can’t keep a girlfriend (“I’ve always lost to someone else!”), but with millions of people worldwide constantly raving about how good-looking he is, I don’t think any of us normal-looking people are inclined to give him much sympathy. However, it seems that Pattinson prefers true love to a couple of hundred empty flings, and although that may seem like a waste of one’s “breathtaking” beauty, it’s probably something to be admired.
Pattinson discloses very little when it comes to what he would want in a girlfriend after the Kristen Stewart blip has passed. “I like people who are strong and have a lot of darkness to them,” he says, as though that’s the answer we’re all looking for. It doesn’t really narrow the pool, and neither does, “…if they’re a fan, it’s perfect!” I suppose we may attribute Pattinson’s vagueness to a sense of modesty, a duel effort to discourage stalkers while not divulging too much personal information. On the other hand, Pattinson also says some things that might be considered shallow if they were coming from someone less good-looking. He aspires to “scare” prospective girlfriends “ “If you can’t scare a girl then you’re not much of a guy!” Don’t worry, Robert. We’re all terrified of you. We’ll be as scared as you want us to be. Kristen Stewart can never be as scared of you as we are.
The young hunk also tells the interviewer that as long as a woman is attractive, it doesn’t really matter whether she is interested in him or in his fame. This, too, seems pretty shallow in comparison to some of his earlier statements, but it does give us additional hope. Maybe he’s only dating Stewart for her looks. When he meets one of us, he’ll *really* fall in love.
