Robert Pattinson does Vanity Fair

[VF.com/Bruce Weber]

Robert Pattinson is featured on December's cover of Vanity Fair. Bruce Weber has posted the first of four slideshows of outtakes featuring Rob doing various things from reading to eating to looking stressed out. I love the corn/lobster one and the piano and beach. Swoon! That man sure can work a camera.

Evgenia Peretz interviewed Rob in a piece entitled "Twilight's Hot Gleaming." She compares his fame to Leonardo DiCaprio circa Titanic proportions. I definitely agree on that. He talks about being cast for Twilight, not being cut out for a franchise, and his self-consciousness (awww, God bless him).

He talks about his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart here...

Pattinson, for his part, says of Stewart: “She’s influenced how I’ve done all the Twilight stuff. It’s quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything.” For the record, however, Pattinson says the rumors of a love affair are false: “It doesn’t make any difference what you say [to the tabloids]. I’ve literally been across the country [from Kristen], and it’s like ‘Oh, they were on secret dates!’ It’s like ‘Where? I can’t get out of my hotel room!’ ” Stewart is even more emphatic: “It’s so retarded,” she says. “We’re characters in this comic book.”

Check out the slideshow here, and read the feature here. The issue hits stands on tomorrow, November 4. Also, New Moon is in theaters on November 20.
