Robert Pattinson finds a new leading lady: ‘Lost’s’ Emilie de Ravin

• Through all the stardom that has been thrown in Robert Pattinson’s face over the past year, it’s scary to realize he hasn’t shot a film that wasn’t part of the “Twilight” franchise during that time. That’s all going to change this month when production of the the drama “Remember Me” begins production in New York. Now, Summit Entertainment is rounding out the cast for Pattinson’s next flick and, more importantly, his next romantic leading lady. Who made the cut? According to Variety, Emilie de Ravin, better known as Claire on “Lost.” “Remember Me” finds Pattinson playing a man distraught after his brother’s suicide destroys his parent’s marriage. De Ravin will play Pattinson’s antithesis: a woman who takes charge of her life after seeing her mother killed in front of her own eyes. Pierce Brosnan and Lena Olin are set to play Pattinson’s parents and Cooper de Ravin’s father. To read more, click here.

Neil Patrick Harris on Twilight at the Tony Awards

• I’ve gotta ask, will Twilight be a part of the Tonys?

Hollywood’s 10 Hottest Men

• 5. Robert Pattinson If you can hear me above your own racing heart, the clicking of keys as his name is Googled another million times and the girlish screams that escape even middle-aged women’s lips, then you’ll know I’m talking RPattz. This 23-year-old Brit was paying his dues with supporting roles in Harry Potter and smaller indie fare (How To Be) but once he starred as devastatingly handsome Edward Cullen in the breakout hit Twilight , he skyrocketed to a level of hysteria that few actors ever experience. Visibly uncomfortable in most interviews, this reluctant celeb is still trying to come to terms with girls wanting to rip his clothes off – literally – but with his sizzling looks, he’s probably better off just buying more shirts.
