Anne Facompre, a film journalist, has just posted a great interview with Robert Pattinson from back in May when he was promoting Cosmopolis in Berlin. In the interview Rob chats about his role in the movie and why he likes the character he plays. Rob also goes on to talk about why he was drawn to the role, and why he’s so proud of his very literate Twilight fans. Read more below:

How was it for you to play such a dark character after ‘Twilight’?

The very first thing I shot, I wanted it to be a no statement thing, the suit, the hair, everything. It’s like: Your clothes don’t say anything, your car doesn’t say anything. Nothing says anything. And YOU don’t say anything and it’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I was turning around to Jay Baruchel in the first scene and you realize your face isn’t doing anything, you have no eyes (because of the dark sunglasses). It’s nerve racking.

How do you feel about all those 15 year old fans camping outside the premiere venue?Do you feel like twilight is a shadow that you just can’t shake or are you just really happy that they’re there supporting you?

It’s amazing. If they go and see the movie - it’s crazy. A lot of ‘Twilight’ fans are not only excited about seeing it, but if they feel they don’t understand it, they WANT to understand it. A ton of people have bought Don Delillo’s books and I’ve talked to people who are like 16 years old and they have read ‘Cosmopolis’ and ‘Underworld’ and a lot of DeLillo stuff and it is absolutely amazing. This is probably the best thing I have done since I’ve started acting! (To inspire fans to read Don DeLillo). And they have watched all of David’s movies and even if there’s a hundred people who don’t understand what’s happening, there will be one who really, really understands it and not being crazy or anything, but it’s a life changing thing. It’s an inspiring thing when you suddenly get into post-modern literature. It’s crazy, to inspire someone to read DeLillo at a really young age.. I don’t know what else could inspire them. I never even read any of his work before and now I have read tons of it. And meeting him as well, I think he is the greatest guy, he is amazing. He was with us on the tour up until now. I hadn’t met him before. But I really like him. He is quite different to what I thought he would be. He is quite funny and really direct. And he knows a lot about movies. And I am just so amazed that there is people lining up and screaming about it. It’s hilarious.

The famous PopSugar 100 has been released for 2012, and this year Kristen Stewart made the list all the way up at #3, while Robert Pattinson came in close behind at #5. Read on below for more:

3. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart hasn’t slowed down. Her Summer in 2011 was all about training for her fairy-tale role in Snow White and the Huntsman and talking up Breaking Dawn Part 1 with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner at Comic-Con. Kristen’s many projects put her in the spotlight over the next few months with covers on W magazine, GQ, and Glamour. In the Fall, Kristen juggled promotions for the Twilight installment, which came to a head at her Hollywood handprint ceremony. Breaking Dawn Part 1 finally hit the big screen with huge success, helping Kristen wrap up an awesome year.

The fun didn’t stop for the star, though, as she traveled to Paris in the New Year to shoot a Vanity Fair spread with Karl Lagerfeld. Kristen kept up the overseas excitement with a visit to Fashion Week, where she checked out the Balenciaga show and the new Louis Vuitton exhibit. In March, Kristen was on the go with Charlize Theron for SWATH before meeting up with Rob at Coachella in April. Her major red carpet moment came when she hit the Met Gala in Balenciaga, a brand she’s representing. Her gorgeous appearances continued at Cannes with her On the Road cast. In June, SWATH rocked the box office, rounding out an awesome year for Kristen.

5. Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson was busy on the Toronto set of Cosmopolis for much of last Summer, though he did break to do Twilight press at Comic-Con and the Teen Choice Awards. In the Fall, Rob traveled between Canada, LA, and London, where he visited girlfriend Kristen Stewart on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman. Rob hit the road with Ashley Greene to promote Breaking Dawn Part 1 and was honored with a Hollywood handprint ceremony before the film’s big premiere and November release.

Rob rang in 2012 in LA, where he made his first public appearance of the year at the People’s Choice Awards. Next, he was on to red carpet stops for Bel Ami before landing back on the West Coast to celebrate the Oscars with Kristen Stewart. In March, the couple spent a romantic weekend in Paris before Rob showed off his shirtless body while surfing in Malibu at the beginning of April. In May, Rob celebrated his 26th birthday and stepped out on the red carpet at Cannes for Cosmopolis.

The always lovely Ashley Greene chatted with Teen Vogue while also taking on hosting duties for the recent Samsung Galaxy S III event (which also involved an awesome donation to the World Wildlife Fund). Here Ashley talks about what it feels like to be looking at the end of Twilight and also forward to CBGB. Read more below:

How does it feel to wrap up the Twilight series?

“It’s a mixture of emotions. It’s exciting that I get to move on and take this platform that Twilight gave me and jump off of it. Twilight is incredible, but it’s time-consuming. We shot for seven months last time. I think that after the premieres are over is when it’s really going to hit us. Talk to me in a few months and I’ll probably be sobbing.”

This week Forbes has posted their 2012 list for the “Highest-Paid Actresses” and for the first time ever, Kristen Stewart is at #1! Check out more below:

At this point, could anyone else play Bella Swan in Twilight? Probably not; if the studio tried to switch in another actress, fans would revolt. So for the last two Twilight films, Stewart has been able to demand an estimated $12.5 million per film, plus a share of the profits.

Her two co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, get paid the same, but Stewart earned more than them this year because of Snow White and the Huntsman. Stewart’s earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 totaled $34.5 million, helping her rank 43rd on our Celebrity 100 list. (The list measures a combination of money and fame.)

At 22, Stewart is the youngest woman on our list by 16 years. The next youngest is Kristen Wiig who is 38. Last year Stewart ranked 5th on our list of the Highest-Paid Actresses tied with Julia Roberts. This year Roberts ranked 6th.
