Either Robert Pattinson is a very smart young man, or he has an astute agent. Maybe both. Whatever the truth, he’s moving on rapidly from the wildly successful Twilight franchise and rebooting his image.
The process begins in March, when Bel Ami, a reworking of the Maupassant novel, opens here. Pattinson plays a young upstart in late 19th-century Paris who works his way up the social ladder through sexual liaisons with the wives of influential men. Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas, both old enough to be mums of the Twilight fan base, are his co-stars, along with Christina Ricci.
Later this year we should be seeing Cosmopolis, directed by David Cronenberg from Don DeLillo’s novel of 2003. It is 24 hours in the life of a young Manhattanite (played by Pattinson) who has made a huge killing in the money markets. No one’s film career has ever been hurt by working for Cronenberg, who told me recently how highly he rates Pattinson. Clearly, he’ll be around for a while.
ETA: In another video, from ET, there’s completely different seating chart with Kristen and Taylor sitting next to Rob. The ET video was recorded yesterday, according to @MarkSteines’ tweet – before Marc Malkin’s video – and mentions a Jane Lynch skit for the show. According to Gossip Cop the ET video REALLY is for a skit and Kristen won’t attend the People’s Choice Awards. The correct seating chart is the one from Marc Malkin, posted above.
Director/Writer: David Cronenberg Producers: Paulo Branco and Martin Katz

The Gist:Based on Don DeLillo’s novel, this centers around a multimillionaire (Pattinson) on a 24-hour odyssey across Manhattan as he attempts to get a haircut, betting his wealth against the declining Japanese Yen..
Here’s the weekly round-up of pics and quotes of the day that we post on ourTumblr.
I was in London once and no one found out where I was staying the whole time I was there, and then this girl, waiting in the courtyard of the hotel in complete pitch blackness, called out my name – and I thought, ‘This is it. I’m going to get killed’
