The "little ugly doll toy" she asked Rob to sign

I'm originally from the South Coast of England (where my best mate still lives) so we rented out a chalet on the Isle of Wight.

Let me just state, there was NO Stalking involved, I am the only person in my group that loves Twilight and Kristen.

We went to Ventor to a couple of the pubs on new years eve. There aren't a huge amount of pubs and we were moving on to the next one when we stopped to get cash out. The guy in front of us looked familiar, and then i twigged it was Tom Stu!

Sure enough Rob was just behind him and Kristen walked past us with 2 other English girls (she is so little).

I couldn't believe it but i didn't say anything to them at the time. I was in shock a little (also mildy tipsy!) we continued with our pub crawl stopping off for a couple more drinks in another pub.

The final pub we got to at about ten to eleven in the evening and it was lovely so we decided to stay. Whilst goofing around with my best mate and having a smoke, I realised we were standing right in front of the Brit Pack!

Kristen hung out with the girls most of the time i was there (she didn't seem to get bothered much at all and was chatting away)

Later we went inside and I bumped into Rob (not intentional I swear!) the place was packed and small we stood right beside Kristen and her group watching the band play. They were all kinda mock dancing but then so were we as many drinks had been consumed at this point.

I went to buy more drinks at the bar, and some bloke was asking Rob for a Picture, he very politely declined... but said he would sign something.

When i walked past I asked if he could sign a little ugly doll toy we had brought with us, which he did.
Que a very interesting drunken conversation.
The doll was blue and Rob wanted to know if it was racist to sign it! I laughed and said 'I didn't think so' he asked if we were having a good night. I replied by saying yes but I'm a probably a bit too pissed! he said 'yeah me too'!.

The clock chimed in twelve to old lang time there was kissing and hugging all round( sorry to say Rob and Kristen didn't appear to kiss in the pub).

I went outside for another smoke after twelve, and Kristen Walked out with the two girls....
I went up to her and said something like 'Hey I don't want a picture or anything' which made her instantly relax a little and i continued on to say that the runaways was my favourite film of this year, before i corrected myself and said last year ( i got a laugh ;) and that her performance inspired me to ask for a guitar for christmas from my boyfriend.

She said that was *beep* awesome and Joan would be thrilled to hear that'
we chatted a little bit more before i said thanks happy new year, blah blah blah.


They all left at about quarter past twelve, we stayed at the pub drinking... a reporter came up and asked us some stuff and I told him to get bent! (drinking makes me feisty!!)

A lucky fan met Rob tonight at a New Years Eve Party on the Isle of Wight. Below is her story she posted. And just a note, enjoy the picture guys, no drama please. Thanks!

From the woman who met them:

Yep they’re over here alright. Got a picture with them both. He was lovely and very chilled…she was different. However I’m very happy that I got the opportunity to meet them both.

Some people say she’s rude but I mean it was New Years eve so it was pretty intrusive of me to ask for a photo. I just didn’t want to let a moment like that go if you know what I mean. I’m never going to see them again so asked and luckily they agreed to have a photo with me.

They were outside on the sea front with a group of friends. It was nice coz everyone was really chilled. Me and my friend spotted him. He was just chatting to his friends and Kristen went somewhere and when she came back she went to him and they were both chatting with a guy whilst having some drinks. They sparked up so I waited until afterwards to I could ask them for a photo. My friend went up and spoke to Kristen who seemed shocked. Probably because they seem to have grabbed no attention what-so-ever so a couple of overly grinning fans wasn’t the first wish she had for New Years. I took the photo and then asked if I could have one. Wished them a Happy New Year then went away very quickly, didn’t want to annoy them any more than I had already.

Hosted in the area reserved for recordings in Paraty, resonate with teenagers the attention of heartthrob ‘Dawn’. Kristen did not want to talk.
Gabriela, Bruna Waleska and display the autographs of Robert Pattinson: he was “mega-friendly”, they say.
“I was thrilled when I heard. But I knew that would get get an autograph from him, he would get so close to him. I was in shock, “celebrated Gabriel

Approaching the vampires of Twilight, always surrounded by bodyguards, is virtually impossible. Unless, of course, that the vampires want to visit. This was exactly the sort of three teenagers who managed to get close, talk and even make personalized autographs heartthrob Robert Pattinson on the afternoon of Tuesday, the district Taquari in Paraty.

Gabriela Rebelo, 14, had help from the press, Patricia, 28 years, to approach the idol. Once we knew the area would be used for the filming and that only residents have access to the site during the recording, Patricia, who lives on site, alerted the couple. “When we heard the rumor, I spoke immediately to Gabriela, because I know she is a fan of the movie. The producers asked me permission to pass through the property of my husband, “she explained.

Gabriela, who lives in Paraty and was allowed to stay in the restricted area, to be hosted at the home of relatives, had a day dream. “I was thrilled when I heard. But I knew that would get get an autograph from him, he would get so close to him. I was in shock, “celebrated with a piece of paper in hand.
Bruno Nascimento Waleska and Toledo, both 17 and residents of Jundiai, in São Paulo, also had a little help. First, to go with the father of Waleska, we rented a summer house for the production of the film. Then, in order to miss the Enem, Saturday and Sunday. “Even though the test was aborted,” celebrated Waleska.
The house of the young Waleska, used for the production of “Twilight” as a support for the recordings
Pattinson was housed in a trailer in front of the house of a teenager, used to store equipment and as a support area for the technicians. But not only that the actor, according to Waleska, came into the house at a time. “Just thinking about where he sat, where he, if he played in my bed … I’m desperate,” the young woman was thrilled.

The contact with the idol was made thanks to Bruno, one of the group who speaks English. Seeing the actor who plays vampire Edward Cullen passing in front of the house, Bruno called it. The security guards tried to close an enclosure to protect the star but he, nice, got rid of the bodyguards and went to meet girls. They said Pattinson chatted briefly and wanted to know the names of three fans to make personalized dedications.
Bruna and Waleska were ready: they took their copies of the fourth book in the saga, Breaking Dawn, and came out with the first page with a signature of ‘vampire’.

If Pattinson paraded sympathy, the same can not be said of the actress Kristen Stewart. Surrounded by bodyguards, she would look away from those who crossed his path and had the help of a bodyguard to avoid eye contact, protecting his face with an umbrella. “I think her mistake. But I will not judge. I had read that she does not like being harassed. It is a more reserved person. He was mega-friendly “, celebrated the young.

Rob is in Rio to film scenes for Breaking Dawn and a lucky fan got a picture with him at the airport. We will be adding to this post with fan pictures when/if they surface.

**ETA**
Video added from the same fans at the airport.

He just arrived and already, Rob is local news. A Baton Rouge news channel, WBRZ, reports:

First of all let me say this is my first official blog post I’m doing on my own. Yay! I’ve been a bit slow to the game here, but I’ll try to make up for it with quality. My iRex (a new term I have coin for my obsolete iMac computer from 2002) has been freezing up on me and making computer time distinctly more frustrating. I’m currently on a friend’s borrowed laptop so I can satisfy the pleas of Alison and Kim to post my Water For Elephants set stalking adventures. Here goes…

I’ve been to the sets in Fillmore and Piru twice. While it was fun to look and say I was there, I can’t say there was much to report. First visit on June 10th there was absolutely nothing happening in Piru where the big top tents are located. As most of you probably have heard by now, the road behind is a long distance from them and there is an artichoke field in between. To give some perspective, the paparazzi are using 800 lenses when taking photographs so the average girl like me with a typical point and shoot digital camera can’t capture anything worth taking. Still, it was fun to see the tents.

So I was asked this week if I would write something about my experience working with Remember Me, and I first thought, "My goodness! I spent over a year talking about that movie. What else could I possibly have to say?"


But that sounded so ingratiating, considering how the film touched so many people. So I resolved to take a thorough glance back over my year, and what crystallized so completely for me was how the story brought so many people, from different backgrounds, together.


I confess, I have a real fascination with this fandom. I have never before experienced such passion, loyalty, camaraderie, and acerbity, all in one place.  Every single day was another drama. It was a little strange. It was a little disconcerting at times. Every person who cared about this movie, in one way or another, seemed to feel as though they had a god-given right to either criticize or defend it. OK, it was a movie, so that's probably true. But with every declaration that "Pattinson can't act" or "the ending was disrespectful", a whole army of vigilants would amass to speak on its behalf, myself included.

 See the rest including Deanna's Trailer under the cut!

The film we eventually saw on screen, inevitably, was different from story we read in the original screenplay, "Memoirs" by Will Fetters. But only inasmuch as films tend to be different on celluloid than they are in print. Certain changes were made that prevented ideas that came across neatly in a textual sense from seeming contrived when translated visually. Collectively, we mourned those changes. In a way, knowing what was intended, was part of the whole experience of appreciating the story. Anyone outside of the fandom would have a hard time understanding, being deficient from not having taken the whole journey. But you can't sell a movie by having to explain where this idea or that line really came from, how it evolved. Either you were in the know, or you were outside the boundaries of the indoctrinated.


Since the fandom, as a whole, generally encompassed Robert Pattinson fans, and this blog is in fact dedicated to him, I suppose I should take pause to give him some props. I came into this not really thinking a whole lot about the guy. Cute, sure. Young. Probably a bright future ahead of him. But I had no overwhelming attachment--I had come for the story. I had some concerns over how he was going to play Tyler, whether he could manage the depth of emotion and the complexity of the relationships that were required. And I'd have been the first person to complain if he'd failed. I was surprised and pleased at his performance. It was good. Not perfect--it's a little soon for him to peak already. Yet still very good. He held his own among some truly great actors. Not too many kids could go toe to toe with Chris Cooper and actually deepen the richness of the scene. I have to give him a lot of credit, and that can definitely be considered a compliment given the scrutiny under which I put his talent.


But the fans didn't just come out to support Pattinson. It seemed that just by considering this one film and every person who came in contact with this one actor, many other lives were brought into focus. Ruby Jerins... yeah, she clearly stole the show and our hearts. She has become a rising star to watch. Allen Coulter--a respectable director in his own right, gained a broader fanbase as we look to his future projects. Marcelo Zarvos, Greg Jbara, Martha Plimpton, Emilie DeRavin, Tate Ellington, Peyton List, Andy Mondshein--what are they working on now? The fans are richer for being introduced to them and their craft.


And Will. Who else could truly appreciate the journey but the one who breathed life into it and walked through the fire, each and every step of the way. I am humbled and honored by the overwhelmingly protective spirit we showed any time a misguided critic dared to suggest that the ending was in some way the shortcoming of a lazy writer intent on pulling at heartstrings using any cheap shot he could. It was as if we would proverbially grab that punk by the shirt-collar and say, "Hey! Let me tell you a thing or two about this WRITER!!!" We walked with Will. We knew. We interacted with him on Twitter. And what an amazing honor to do so, to be so intimately involved in the whole process.


And here I am, having once again started this essay by talking about the fandom, as if it was an entity that existed outside of myself. As if I could remove myself from membership at will. It seems to me, that part of the human condition is the tendency to isolate, to think that we are, somehow, all alone in the world. It's not true. "Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch." We have more in common than we can possibly know.


When you look at a movie like Remember Me, you see a drawing together of collective experience. No matter how old we were in 2001, we have a sense of living through it. No matter what background we come from, what profession, what age, race, gender, or income, we found a common ground to discuss, to debate, to feel... together.  There is a CS Lewis quote that I invoke quite often: “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.' ”  We are more alike than we think. And less alone.


Looking back on Remember Me, I can honestly say I have made a great number of new friends. I am truly, truly blessed.


I would like to end with that sentiment. But I do have to take a moment to thank the two people who made this all possible for me--Trevor Engleson and Nick Osborne from Underground Films. I don't think filmmakers generally make a habit of interacting with fans. But these guys knew this movie was special. They had the foresight to realize that it was going to reach people. And they cared. Nick still contacts me from time to time, and he still notices when people have something to say about the movie. It's has clearly touched him too. And Trevor--well, he was just crazy enough to give me a chance and answer my initial email. For that he still owes me a drink!


And on THAT note....!

New fan encounter and pic­ture of Rob at the Mar­cus Fos­ter gig in London.

Thanks to Fe Pattz at Twifans!

"I just discovered a video I got of Rob during the Eclipse Premiere when he came to the bleachers side of the Premiere area. It was complete insanity over there. I was standing behind the front row and when Rob, Kristen, and Taylor pulled up people when crazy. A mother standing right near me literally shoved everyone out of the way to push her daughter to the front. While that happened I ended up getting shoved back even further so I gave up and stood on the bleachers. A very kind young girl reach back and grabbed my magazine I wanted signed and said she would get it signed for me. She ended up getting both Rob and Taylor's autograph for me! She disappeared right after so I never got to properly thank you, but she was my Twilight guardian angel for the night. There is some amazing Twilight fans out there, and this fan is example of one of them. At the end of the video you can hear me say "Omg, thank you so much" That's when I discovered my video was running instead of me actually taking pictures."

Comment #668
That was taken in California while i was having a vacation 2 months ago. I'm not form the US. they look like a normal couple to us. they were eating on the same plate, sitting next to each other, talking, kinda touchy but nothing major like kissing or hugging. Kristen's really short but she's prettier in person. Robert looks good too."

This is a wonderful fan encounter story. 

 "I met Rob!!! He was touring the local Buddy Holly museum! I had given up looking for him and decided to take my son in to get free cake cuz it's Buddy Holly's bday celebration! I was rounding a corner with the stroller and there he was scruffy and all!! There was like nobody in the museum just old people.

 I was seriously paralyzed then I just spit out 'rob is that you?' he turned around (he was looking at a guitar) he looked at me and started laughing and  said 'no no you've got the wrong guy' but duh I heard his sweet voice I knew it was him!!! I was paralyzed again. He kept smiling my 14 month old was babbling so Rob bent down a little and said 'hi there'. Then some guy came over and was asking Rob if he'd seen everything. I was so dumb I started asking him what his favorite Buddy Holly songs were and babbling about stupid *beep* Rob was soo nice and  polite even tho he looked sleepy. He said he was going to head out and  asked me nicely not to post anything about his whereabouts for a few hours. I was all ' omg of course, and then like an idiot. I asked him for a hug. He laughed again and then gave me like a 5 second two-armed hug!!!!!! He gave my son's hand a little tug and said 'nice meeting you', then he said the biggest compliment ever, 'i hope when I have a kid he's as beautiful as you! ( talking to my son). I almost fell on the floor. Then him and the other guy left and I didn't want to look like a stalker by following them so I just kept walking around the museum. I had left all my crap in the car , my camera, my photo I wanted him to autograph. I didn't want to be like 'oh rob can u wait here a sec? :( :( he looked like he was in a hurry. But omg omg BEST DAY of MY LIFE!!

A Hollywood vampire was spotted in Lubbock Monday night at Crickets Bar and Grill.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson, a.k.a. Edward Cullen, made a Hub City visit to Crickets. Pictures of Pattinson and some female fans have surfaced.

Lubbock Police were called to the scene to do some crowd control of excited fans trying to get into the bar to see Pattinson.

Coming up tonight on KCBD NewsChannel 11 at 5 and 6, we will hear from a Cricket’s employee who was there during Pattinson’s impromptu visit.
