Robert Pattinson-inspired underwear at Marks & Spencer

The British brand Marks & Spencer has announced that it will launch a new range of underwear for men inspired by the actor Robert Pattinson, reports Coco Perez.

This new line, called R-Pant, will be in stores as early as September. The underwear has been designed to be worn under tight pants.

Pattinson, star of the Twilight series, did not participate  in designing the line and he even refused an offer from Marks & Spencer to be the face of the campaign.

The star’s latest project, Breaking Dawn, the next installment of the Twilight franchise, begins shooting in the fall of 2010 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Vancouver.

The next chapter in the Twilight saga will be split into two films, the first of which is scheduled for released November 18, 2011.

Robert Pattinson and Dracula go way back

Robert Pattinson shot to fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in the popular Twilight series. Swooning girls around the world would die to receive a love bite from this particular British actor.

Now genealogists at Ancestry.com say the 24-year-old actually does descend from vampires. Research into the Twilight star’s family tree revealed he is related to Vlad the Impaler, widely thought to be the inspiration for Count Dracula in Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic.

Anastasia Tyler is a genealogist at Ancestry.com, the world’s largest online family history resource. She says: "Tracing Pattinson’s family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unravelled created the perfect accompaniment to the Twilight Saga. Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson’s life – making his story just as supernatural as the one he’s playing on screen."

The royalty referred to is none other than British Princes William and Harry. It seems Pattinson is a distant cousin of the princes on their father’s side.

Proving fact can really be stranger than fiction, the website even found another Twilight-Dracula connection. Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is also a distant cousin of the British royals and so can claim this blood-curdling connection as well.

Twilight: Eclipse hits theatres on June 30.

RPatz is more than a pretty face

Actor Robert Pattinson would love to head into the studio to record an album of his own music, Orange News reports.
 
The Twilight star contributed two songs to the film’s soundtrack and wants to take his music career one step further. He just needs to find some time in his busy schedule.
 
He says, "I want to do an album at the end of the year. All my friends are recording albums and I’m very annoyed about it. I can play the guitar and piano, but I can’t do two things at once. I don’t know how people like Jennifer Lopez can act and then also sing. Hopefully, I’ll find some time to get it together."
 
The actor plays guitar and piano and writes his own music. He wants to record an album but also told Australia’s Daily Telegraph, "I’m not particularly interested in releasing it, but I’d like to do some gigs. I guess the only way to do that is to get an album out."
 
Rumour has it that Pattinson is dating his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

RPattz says it is so

According to a report in the Mail Online, actor Robert Pattinson has finally ended months of speculation. He confirmed he is dating his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
 
The two actors have been dating since last year. They planned to make their first public appearance as a couple at the BAFTA Film Awards in London last Sunday (February 21) but ended up arriving separately.
 
Pattinson finally broke his silence after months of refusing to comment on their relationship. He admitted, "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention."
 
Some tabloids reacted to the statement by saying they don’t believe his declaration.
 
Rumours about the relationship between RPattz and KStew began surfacing after the release of the first Twilight movie in 2008.
