I’m surprised at how attractive I’m finding Robert Pattinson in these new photos. Rob was in Paris last night promoting Breaking Dawn, Part 1 with Ashley Greene. Greene is acting like she’s the star of the film, which is pretty much how she sees herself, but Pattinson doesn’t seem to mind. He’s just happy to pose and sign autographs for fans. He looks so hot to me here, and like he’s no longer jailbait. I love his scruffy beard and the small amount of weight he’s gained. (If he’s gained any and it’s not just the light beard.) Plus he’s grown out that awful patchy hair he was sporting this summer for a role.
Pattinson trimmed down his beard from the full wilderness man look he had up until late last week. At last night’s premiere he was working the hell out of a Dolce & Gabbana suit. Greene was in a navy Givenchy gown with a goofy ruffle around the waist and down the front. It’s not bad, but that weird tooth necklace she’s wearing is bizarre. It’s so out of place that I would speculate that a fan gave it to her on the red carpet. It matches her shoes a little too much to be random though.
Breaking Dawn is imminent, and they keep releasing scenes from the film in drips and drabs that are whipping Twihards into a frenzy. At first they released the honeymoon scenes, then the wedding, and there were probably some other releases in there that I missed. The film is out in the US on November 18th, so we have a couple more weeks of constant news about it to endure. It just looks so cheesy to me. To promote the film, a few of the secondary stars and performers are going to go on a five city appearance and concert tour starting next week. It will be free and tickets are sure to sell out quickly. It’s not a bad idea, but it’s probably completely unneccessary. This movie will clean up at the box office and probably requires very little promotional effort. Here’s more:
Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz and Elizabeth Reaser will pile into the van (OK, probably a plane) for a five-city tour from November 7 to 11 that will hit Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Salt Lake City, just one week before the movie hits screens (November 18). They will be joined by singer and “Breaking Dawn” soundtrack contributor Christina Perri on the first three dates. Three other soundtrack contributors — Aqualung, Lucy Schwartz and Sleeping at Last — will be on hand for the final two shows.
Tickets for the appearances are free and will be available beginning at 10 a.m. local time Saturday, November 5, at each location, with a two-ticket-per-person limit. Each event will feature a red-carpet arrival followed by the mini-concert.

Good for them I guess. Ashley Greene’s name isn’t in the list quoted, but MTV reports that she’ll be joining them. She probably thinks they need a high profile celebrity there.
Update: After I wrote all that, the Flare Magazine people sent us this excerpt and these two photos from Ashley’s cover story. She looks so smug as usual, and while her interview isn’t as obnoxious as the one she just gave Allure, it’s still dripping with attitude:
On her protective instincts toward Taylor Lautner: “The guys get some very intense um… propositions. We all got a little ‘momma bear’ on Taylor because women were giving the guys their numbers and their panties and it was just a little insane.”
On staying in touch with the cast: “We’ll do dinners and game nights. This whole experience was really special to a lot of us, and we certainly don’t want to lose that family aspect just because we’re not filming.”
On Alice Cullen’s telepathic powers: “Seeing the future sounds really cool, but I think it would drive me crazy, honestly. I think it takes away the mystery, and that’s one of the best things about life… You never know what’s going to happen and you have to live every day like it’s your last.”
On embracing the single life: “I’m not dating anyone right now, which is nice. I’m choosing to take it as a really great opportunity to focus on myself and figure out what’s next in my career.”
On filming Bella and Edward’s wedding scenes: “Watching your friends get married, onscreen or off, is a very interesting, delicate thing.”
On her vision for her character’s bridesmaid’s gown: “I wanted Alice’s past incorporated into her dress a little bit. She’s from the 1920s and 1930s, so we kind of kept that in mind.”

“I’m choosing to take it as a really great opportunity to focus on myself” = “I’m waiting to land a high profile hookup and then parade him around to the paps.” Just wait.
