That’s right – as crazy as it seems, Robert Pattinson has been bitten by a lion. Lucky for the teen heart-throb – the lion’s teeth had been removed. It happened on the set of Robert Pattinson’s latest movie, ‘Water for Elephants’, where the Twilight star plays a circus trainer. Robert was pretty cool about it though:

“Almost every day I’m working with an exotic animal… It’s insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth. They were like, ‘It’s fine, he does it all the time.’ And I was like, ‘Erm, OK…’ But they had to get him to do it harder, because he was being so gentle and just licking my arm.”

The stars of Twilight: Eclipse chocked fans by appearing at a meet and greet in Los Angeles for the premiered of the new summer blockbuster, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Fans screamed and cried and carried on as Twi-heads will when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart came out to say hello.

Robert Pattinson claims he would like to record and album, direct a film, and start a religion! Good luck with that, Edward!

Robert Pattinson as quoted by Glamour Magazine:

“I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion.”

We know he’s popular,but this is ridiculous! Edward Cullen, or Robert Pattinson as he is less commonly known, has to be surrounded by up to 11 security personnel whenever he goes out and about. Kellan Lutz, his Twilight co-star, let it slip to Parade magazine that he is concerned for Pattinson’s safety sometimes.

The American tells Parade magazine, “We’ve all stayed so down to earth, and it’s just funny to see life change for the people around us, especially Rob. It’s like, when a fan lunges at him and you only see one bodyguard around, and then 10 more jump out of the crowd, where they’ve been hiding.

“God, it’s crazy to think about needing a bodyguard, but Rob can’t take any chances. He’s a heartthrob, but he’s also a great guy and we all love him because he hasn’t changed as a person.”

Robert Pattinson, the moody Twilight saga star, predicts that he will die at 30 because of the fame that the Twilight movies have brought to him.

“I guess I just thought if too many good things happen, then you’re going to die at 30 I didn’t want that to happen. Yeah, so probably, I’m going to die at 30. Actually, it’s God saying, ‘Hey, you shouldn’t have asked for too much’”, he declared during one Nightline interview.

Cheer up Rob! You’re 24 now, so you can enjoy 6 more years of millions of dollars and Kristen Stewart. Poor guy.
