R Patz Torn Between Music And Acting

As if R Patz isn't satisifed enough with being Britain's no. 1 heart throb, actor, model, producer and having the beautiful and talented Kristin Stewart by his side, he still feels there's something missing!

The 23 year old is a keen musician and plans to release an album in the future. He states "I haven't been able to do my music for ages. I can't concentrate on two things at once. I don't even listen to music when I'm working on a movie".

Being amongst R Patz biggest fans, we know he plays guitar and piano, so we're desperate to know if he'll play an instrument in his own music. He also sang on two of the Twilight tracks 'Never Think' and 'Let Me Sign'. We can't wait to hear what he's going to release. If we hear anything more we'll let you know!

R-Pattz Confesses: "I Didn't Want To Do Twilight"

The role of Edward Cullen may have brought Robert Pattinson fame and fortune, but the actor has admitted that the idea of starring in Twilight didn't appeal to him at first. In fact, he only auditioned to appease his agent.

"At first I didn’t want to do a movie like Twilight," said the actor in a recent interview with the Daily Mail. "I specifically hadn’t done anything that anyone would see since Harry Potter, because I wanted to teach myself how to act. I was going to wait for another year to do two or three more little things and then do something bigger. Twilight came kind of randomly.

"They actually asked me to take my shirt off at the audition," he added. "I thought, if that’s the criteria, then you’ve got the wrong guy. I knew about the audition five months beforehand, but I didn’t want to bother getting a six-pack or doing much else at all in preparation – but looking back, I might have combed my hair. I thought that I had to be this bland guy with his shirt off who people just project ideas onto. At first I thought to play Edward in an interesting way was totally impossible."

Thankfully, for the thousands of Twihards out there, Robert changed his mind about the role when he read New Moon - ironically, a book that his character doesn't feature in much at all.

"I understood Edward much more in the second one than in the first. New Moon is about his being compelled to do the wrong thing, and I understand that a lot – especially when it comes to relationships.

"Edward makes a mistake in New Moon that’s acknowledged by everybody, including himself. He’s totally undermined physically and emotionally and so is much more humanised. In the first one, he’s still an idealistic character from beginning to end.

"In New Moon, he’s more the hero of the story who refuses to accept that he’s the hero. I think that’s kind of admirable. Once you’re immune to failure, nothing matters. I saw that after being the hot thing for a few months after Harry Potter; it calms down until no one cares. It helps knowing that pretty soon, no one will care."

The actor went on to explain how he feels having firmly placed at the top of the A-List alongside co-star and current squeeze Kristen Stewart.

"I know I’m the luckiest guy on Earth, but I’m not massively concerned about doing lots of acting jobs," he said. "If it all just went away, right now, I’d think, 'All right. I don’t really care.' That’s probably a daft thing to say. But I think it’d be much worse to do a load of stuff that’s really awful. Because then you can’t go into another career. The only thing I want from anything is to not be embarrassed."

And what happens when the Twilight trilogy is over? "I don’t know. It scares me a little. Sometimes when I go to meetings for other projects, people only seem interested in the union of Edward Cullen and me. But if the role interests me and it can bring the public from Twilight into the cinema, then we’ve cracked it."

Somehow, we doubt R-Pattz will be disappearing from the big screen any time soon.

NEW! More Eclipse Photos to drool over

Oh our geekness! The stream of new photo stills from the Eclipse film set are getting progressively hotter - so hot in fact, they're steaming up our flat screens! Either that or our eyes are misting over at the beauty that is Pattinson (we think you're very pretty Kristen, but as we're not following that particular persuasion...).

Okay enough with the hyperbole, but seriously we reckon that the next and third instalment of the Twilight saga should prove to be more risqué than first two films - artfully mastered without offending pubescent twi-hearts (by this we mean their parents) whilst still satisfying its large adult audience – we hope.

Feast your greedy eyes on the goodness below!

Young love, runs free..

It also involves lots of smooching..

And yet more smooching (I'm positively green with envy)..

*Gasp* What would Charlie say?!

Yea, he might be tempted to do this to you too!

What do you guys think of the stills above? Do you know which book scenes the stills refer to? Go on, show off and tell us below in the comments section ;o)

Geeky Girl’s Hunk o’ the Month (January)

Okay, so we realise we’re a tiny bit late with this, but better late than never, no? And we don’t know about you, but we’d happily wait a long, long, long time for January’s winner – Mr Robert Pattinson!

Thanks for voting and you’re clearly not alone in your admiration (and lets face it, adoration) of RPatZ. People magazine voted Robert Pattinson as one of the Sexist Men Alive in 2008 and if you’re a Geeky Girlite, you will have surely noticed our breathy prose in relation to all things RPatZ.

To celebrate our continuing love affair with the PatZ and with his new status as our Hunk of the Month (could there be a better accolade?) here’s some random trivia to spit at your friends and pictures to stare, erm, we mean, occasionally glance at.

• Rob was born on 13th May 1986. Praise be!
• He’s rather tall at a strapping 6’ 1”.
• Rob’s home town is Barnes, London.He supports Arsenal football club, but we won’t hold that against him, no one’s perfect.
• Rob beat 3,000 other people to win the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight.
• Rob’s eyes are actually blue/gray – he wears gold tinted contacts in the Twilight saga.
• He was named as the GQ (UK) Best Dressed Man of 2009. "Extremely elegant and inspiring, the true essence of a contemporary man." Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, D&G.
• He’s got talented hands – seriously! This is no innuendo, the man is a very talented pianist and can play the classical guitar. Check him out on You Tube with this gorgeous ditty *sigh*. 

Most of us have cottoned on to the Robert Pattinson phenomenon due to the success of the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises, but if you want to delve a little deeper into this particular actor’s body of work and educate yourself or just stare at his pretty face, you can find a complete filmography below.

New Moon (2009) - Twilight (2008) - Little Ashes (2008) - How to Be (2008) - The Summer House (2008) - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) - The Bad Mother's Handbook (2007) (TV) - The Haunted Airman (2006) (TV) - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) - Ring of the Nibelungs (2004) (TV) - Vanity Fair (2004) (uncredited).

Rob has 3 films due for release in 2010, including the hotly anticipated Eclipse. Eeee!

GG♥SF Visual Treats For 2010

Here at GG♥SF, we’re forever posing the big questions. You know the type, the sort of questions that make your brain want to implode due to the immense weight of their possibilities. Questions like; should Breaking Dawn really be split into 2 films (this is a no brainer and it pains us to think reputable studio bosses should even consider this!)? Who was best slayer, Buffy or Faith (okay, split opinions here, this geek is firmly Team Buff!)?

But the big question we’ve been mulling over during our wine sozzled soirees is this; which actors - of the sci-fi genre, naturally - are set to be the Geeky Girls' biggest visual treats for 2010?

Russell Tovey and Aiden Turner: Being Human (BBC 3).

GG♥SF see big things for the immensely enjoyable BBC comedy-drama, Being Human. Set in Bristol, the show focuses on the lives of three twenty-something housemates trying to live normal, human lives, despite struggling with unusual afflictions - one is a werewolf, one is a vampire and the other is a ghost. However it’s the humans they have to fear, not the other way around.

Superbly written and full of intrigue and suspense, Geeky Girls can’t wait to delve further into the second season. It doesn’t hurt that Russell Tovey’s neatly packaged buttocks make increasingly frequent appearances and Aiden Turner’s charismatically sexy magnetism is permanently set to 10. It doesn’t hurt, but it definitely helps.

Now in its second series, we predict Being Human to finally grab the attention of the masses it so thoroughly deserves. So if you haven’t already taken to this supernatural gem of a show, we’d advise you to pick up your remotes and tune in. Take your pick ladies; sexy brooding vampires or terrifyingly hirsute, but usually oh so cute werewolves? It’s greedy to have both you know.

Robert Pattinson: Twilight Series, Eclipse.

Predictable? You’re damn right! We appreciate the fact that Twilight was written for frenzied, hormonal 15 year old girls (and we bloody love it) but Robert Pattinson was most certainly not cast to catch the attention of just 15 year old girls. This man has massive, wide ranging appeal for just about every woman, of every age. The man himself says he has some geriatric fanatics.

For those of you who’ve been sleeping under a rock for the past year, without access to books, TV or films, Robert Pattinson plays Edward Cullen in the massively successful Twilight saga. The movies, based on Stephanie Meyer’s books, have been huge hits on both sides of the Atlantic, with New Moon (the second film in the series) making history in the US with the biggest opening weekend, EVER. Call us cynical, but we’d say Pattinson was a small part of that success.

GG♥SF literally thrumming in anticipation of the Eclipse premier! Those warm, golden eyes that literally make our knees knock and our hearts melt will be hitting cinema screens in July. Any future previews and gossip we can scourge will be posted as soon as we lay our grubby little mitts on it. Note: This time, less of the muscle definition spray tan RPatz – go a bit Taylor Lautner on us. Go on.

Stephen Moyer: True Blood (FX).
Easing our smooth transition into yet another vampire themed drama, Stephen Moyer’s portrayal of Bill Compton is the XXX rated version of Edward Cullen. Starring in the Channel 4 comedy-drama, True Blood, this vampire really gets our pulses racing.

If you’re not already acquainted with this down and dirty, supernatural drama (based on the excellent books by Charlaine Harris), let us give you the 411: Based in Bon Temps, Louisiana, in the not too distant future, vampires and humans now try to live together in mainstream society after a new synthetic blood called TruBlood is developed for our thirsty, pointy toothed friends. It’s here that the wickedly delicious Bill Compton encounters telepath, Sookie Stackhouse, who can mysteriously hear everyone’s thoughts but Bill’s. We won’t spoil it for you if you’ve not already watched it, but season one was a hum dinger!

Alas, for the moment, True Blood has wrapped up for the first series, but as reported on the GG♥SF blog, it will be returning for season 2 on FX, Fri 26 Feb at 10pm. Expect more vampy high-jinks with the seductively southern tongued, Bill the Vampire. We can’t wait, so we’ve been leching over this series 2 trailer on FX: http://fxuk.com/shows/true-blood

Matt Smith: Doctor Who (BBC 1).

It feels like blasphemy to even consider embracing a new Doctor to our bosoms when our dearly departed David Tennant has only very recently vacated the Tardis, but GG♥SF really are rather partial to Matt Smith. Fickle indeed you say, (we still heart the fabulous Tennant) but we have a few choice reasons to propose Mr Smith in this fine male specimen feature.

Firstly, did you see his turn as cute geek, Danny Foster in BBC2’s quietly great political drama, Party Animals? Secondly, we’ve been checking out as much press as possible for his 2010 introduction and with his wonderfully geeky take on science teacher chic and already enjoyable kooky demeanour as the great Doctor, we’re very excited!

Matt told the BBC’s Doctor Who Confidential site, "The challenge for me is to do justice to the show's illustrious past, my predecessors, and most importantly, to those who watch it. I really cannot wait." Neither can we, Matt, neither can we.

R-Pattz For Spider-Man 4?

Rumour has it that Twilight star Robert Pattinson is in line to replace Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man.

The news comes after Tobey, who starred as Peter Parker in the first three films in the franchise, announced his decision to quit the role earlier this week. Director Sam Raimi and co-star Kirsten Dunst have also been dropped from the fourth film.

According to reports, Rob is favourite to take the lead role, but Juno actor Michael Cera, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are also apparently in the frame to play the webslinger in the movie which is due for release in 2012.

Studio Sony have denied the rumors, telling ET Online: "Our first step is to find a director".

Hmm... GG♥SF playing Spidey might just be too much sci fi for R-Pattz. He'll always be Edward Cullen to us.
