“Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson is heading to the Cannes Film festival! The hunky actor is taking time off from shooting “Twilight” sequel “New Moon” to make his first appearance at the see-and-be-seen glamour event on the French Rivera.
But Rob better beware of Paris. Not the beautiful French capital, but celebrity party queen Paris Hilton. She’ll be there as well, and she could try to throw herself at Rob – again. Paris made a major play for him, earlier this year, but the 23-year-old British actor blew her off.
The festival opened today (May 12), with Disney/Pixar's 3D movie “UP” leading off the show. Rob will be taking in the scene for the first time as a major star in his own right. But this year’s festival is likely to be somewhat more subdued.
While some regular showbiz parties have been cancelled, the fashion brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Chopard (as co-sponsors) and D Squared will be hosting events on or just off the Croisette, the vacation Mecca’s main promenade.
Rob, who by now is familiar with major red carpet events – he attended the Oscars for the first time this year as well – will rub shoulders with the likes of former President Bill Clinton and Pop diva Mariah Carey, who will be there to promote “Precious,” her new film.
Regulars like Sharon Stone, Donatella Versace and movie executive Harvey Weinstein will also be town, where many deals get made
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be among stars to watch. Brad will be there to promote Quentin Tarantino's World War II drama "Inglourious Basterds." Brad is starring in the film, one of 20 in the main competition for the coveted Palme d'Or, given for best picture.
Academy Award-winner Penélope Cruz, who appears in the movie “Broken Embraces,” will also be there. Now she’s Rob’s type. The film is directed by Pedro Almodovar and will be competing for the grand prize.
Actress Robin Wright Penn, a member of this year’s jury panel, will be making her first public appearance since breaking up with her estranged husband Sean Penn, who judged the competition last year.
Rob is expected to spend some time helping to shop a new film called "Remember Me," directed by Allen Coulter and produced by Nick Osborne and Trevor Engelson.
The film will be presented to a number of buyers at the festival, along with three other titles from Summit Entertainment, which produced “Twilight.”
Shooting will begin this summer in New York. Pattinson will take a break from the shooting "New Moon" and "Eclipse" to make the picture. "New Moon" wraps shooting in May while "Eclipse" begins in August.
