Robert Pattinson’s sister auditioned for ‘The X Factor’

celebrityabout

The X Factor is still going in the UK (and it’s actually addictively watchable, unlike the US version that thankfully got shut down) and since we just kicked off about two weeks ago, we’re still in the audition phase of the process. On last night’s episode, a girl named Lizzy Pattinson sang for the judges and was actually pretty good. She hasn’t got some big belting voice, but she does have a lovely tone and kind of reminds me of the wonderful (and really sweet) Lissie, so I was a fan. Turns out, Lizzy is actually Robert Pattinson‘s sister! What do you think of Lizzy? She did get through to boot camp, but who knows if she’ll make it any further? Robert is a bit of a closet music maker himself, so it must run in the family. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Robert Pattinson did the ice bucket challenge with a hose and a metal sauce pan

celebrityabout

Robert Pattinson seems to shun all forms of social media – and probably for good reason – so it was up to his unlikely friend Zac Efron to share the video below of Rob doing the ALS ice bucket challenge complete with hose and sauce pan. Keep it classy, Rob: #RobPattinson's not on social media, so he asked me to post his @ALSAssociation #IceBucketChallenge! It's hilarious! http://t.co/GIBRoGsReY — Zac Efron (@ZacEfron) August 20, 2014 This is kind of the best celebrity ice bucket challenge yet, simply because it’s so unexpected. He’s so awkward. Also, he “couldn’t find a bucket”? And they’re dumping a pan of ice cubes on him, which are then already on the ground by the time he gets sprayed down with the hose? I don’t know what’s going on here, but it’s cracking me up. Also, the fact that he nominated Marilyn Manson MADE MY DAY. Please let Marilyn Manson do this shit. For all of our sakes.

Robert Pattinson knows he’s a “bullshit artist”

celebrityabout

Despite the fact that he’s most famous for his role in the Twilight franchise, I’ve always really liked Robert Pattinson and found him endearing. It’s both a blessing and a curse that he took on that role, because it allowed him to actually book further roles and make his career as an actor. Then again, he’s forever typecast as Edward “Sparkly Vampire” Cullen, and that’s not really a good thing. On the bright(er) side, at least he knows he’s a “bullshit artist”? From The Guardian: “I’m quite good at doing meetings,” he says. “If I’m just meeting someone about a job I’m like a dog, especially if my agent’s said to me: ‘A lot of people want this job.’ Then I’m like: ‘Oh yeah? Then I will do anything to get it!’” What’s his technique? “I don’t know, I just become a bullshit artist!” he laughs. “That’s when I start acting! I’m really much better at doing it when the cameras aren’t rolling …” Well, that’s just like interviewing for any job, isn’t it? You have to bullshit – not because you aren’t really passionate about it (I mean, I guess in some cases you wouldn’t be) but because it’s hard to be effusively excited when you’re just trying to get a paycheck. Anyway, I like Rob – I think his interviews are hilarious, even if a little lacklustre. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
