MTV got a chance to talk to Richard Phillips about his painting of Rob:
"I think that the greatest pressure for me was getting Robert Pattinson's expression right because he is...certainly Leo is important in terms of his character and the gravitas he has, but with Robert it's that kind of knowing smirk or that sexy look in his masculine, yet feminine qualities that people die for that's a hard thing to grab"

Fashion Week is in full swing in New York, and even there people can't help but bring up Twilight. Refinery29 got a chance to talk to figure skating champ Johnny Weir after he participated in Elise Overland's show. And what did they want to know?



Here is a bit of Weir's performance at the show. We love that he's Team Rob forever!


Business Insider crunched some Google numbers, and they call Rob the 20th Most Popular Person Online.




#20 Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson is 16% as popular as Justin Bieber

Trend analysis: True Harry Potter fans recognize Robert Pattinson as Cedric, but most people know him as the star of Twilight, Edward Cullen.


His search traffic on Google peaked at the end of June/July of 2010 when the third Twilight movie came out.


Note: We searched for "pattinson," which turns up almost entirely hits for Robert Pattinson.
Read more on how the list came about and who else is on it.

Thanks @jalopi34.

Ohio State University now offers a class that requires students to read Twilight (sign me up now). A Phoenix TV station picked up on the news, and talked about it on its morning news.


Her comments start at around 5:00.

We usually see mentions of Rob or Twilight in shows, but NBC's Parks and Recreation took it a step further (as Aziz Ansari had warned) - the results were hilarious.

Girl: Hey there stag!


Have you found your dream girl or have you been kissed by a moose?




Boy: Hilarious!


Girl: Hey! Keep your head! I was wondering why your dream girl left you when she even exists.


Boy: She exists and you're not the one.



Girl: I see!


Boy: Just because I don't look like Robert Pattinson, doesn't mean I can't pick up somebody!


I'm special. I'm not standard!


Ehh.. no offense "boy," but from where we're standing.. ;)

Mention starts at 8:30ish

Easy A was a fun movie (mainly because Emma Stone rocks), so do catch it in theaters or when it's available on DVD.



By the way, sure most of you know this by now.. but there's also a "Twilight" mention on the latest Harry Potter film. Whether intentional or not, we thought it was cute.

It starts at about 12:30.. and stick around for the next few minutes for a few more Twilight references.
