Shorts International will release the short movie The Summer House featuring The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Robert Pattinson on July 13. The film will be available to download from iTunes Movie Stores in the US, Canada, UK, France, Ireland and Germany.

It is Northern France and the swinging sixties are well underway. While mankind is landing on the moon, a young girl becomes a woman and learns that life on earth can prove to be just as alien as those famous first steps.

The Summer House pairs the emerging British starlet, Talulah Riley (St Trinian’s, The Boat That Rocked) alongside international idol, Robert Pattinson.

“We are delighted that Talulah and Robert’s intoxicating on-screen chemistry can now be seen on iTunes,” said The Summer House producer Anna MacDonald. “We are immensely proud of the film and are looking forward to seeing how audiences react.”

“This sweeping, romantic fable will be a Summer 2010 hit,” said Carter Pilcher, CEO of Short International. “From Keira Knightley to Mel Gibson, not to mention Beyonce and Lady Gaga, the stars are breaking in to short movies – now it’s time for Robert Pattinson and Talulah Riley to join the club.”

Twilight star Robert Pattinson named as one of the most powerful celebrities in the world !


Twilight star Robert Pattinson was named one of the most powerful celebrities in the world, securing a place on the Forbes list for the first time.

The 24-year-old Brit, who shot to fame as Edward Cullen in the hit vampire movie saga, accrued an estimated 17 million dollars (£11 million) in the last 12 months alone.

R-Patz was ranked 50th on the Celebrity 100 Power List, while his US girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart is at 66 with 12 million dollars (£7.95 million).

Lady Gaga is the highest newcomer in the Forbes list, based on earnings and global exposure, and overshot stars like Madonna (number 10) and U2 (seven) to claim fourth place.

She raked in 62 million dollars (£41 million) in the last year, partly thanks to the eccentric singer's 106-date world tour.

Oprah Winfrey reclaims the top spot as the most powerful celebrity with 315 million dollars (£208 million) after last year's number one Angelina Jolie dropped to 18th position.

Despite turmoil in his personal life and his professional setbacks, Tiger Woods is at number five with 105 million dollars (£69 million) accrued during the past year.

Avatar director James Cameron returns to the list - this time in third place - for the first time since 1999, earning 210 million dollars (£139 million).

Simon Cowell is the highest British earner, jumping 14 places to number 11 with 80 million dollars (£53 million), following his last season as a judge on American Idol.

Other British celebrities on the list include Daniel Radcliffe at 82 with 25 million dollars (£16.5 million), Kate Moss at 91 with 9 million dollars (£5.95 million), and David Beckham at 36 with 44 million dollars (£29.1 million) from June 2009 to June 2010.

Despite stock market swings and a faltering global economy, the earnings power of the Celebrity 100 remains resilient.

The top 100 earned collectively 4.7 billion dollars (£3.11 billion) during the past year, up from 4.1 billion dollars (£2.7 billion) the previous year.

:: Robert Pattinson revealed that his biggest accomplishment in the kitchen is making toast.

The star told Heat magazine that he could not cook, saying: "In London recently, my hotel had really good room service and I just ate the same thing every day - chicken tikka.

"I crave a home-cooked meal sometimes, but I only know how to make a piece of toast."

Asked about his views on romance, he said: "There should never be a set of rules around relationships. Some people meet each other in a bar, sleep with each other that night and stay with each other for the rest of their lives."

Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Living An ''Adventure''


Robert Pattinson And Kristen Living An ''Adventure''


Robert Pattinson has revealed ''no one can understand'' what he has gone through with Kristen Stewart.

Robert Pattinson has revealed "no one can understand" what he has gone through with Kristen Stewart.

The 24-year-old actor - who is rumoured to be dating his 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' co-star - admits the brunette beauty is "wonderful" and says they have been on a magical "adventure" together.

He said: "Kristen and I have lived a great adventure together with the 'Twilight' films. We are very close and no one can understand what we've gone through together the last few years.

"When we're together, we understand each other so well that we don't have to say a lot to explain what we're thinking. Kristen is a wonderful girl."

However, the big screen heartthrob - who stars as vampire Edward Cullen in the movie franchise - admitted he shares his alter ego's lack of success with the opposite sex.

He explained to new! magazine: "I do bear some similarities in the sense that I'm not good at romance. I also think I lack basic finesse when it comes to women.

"I give up too easily even if I'm very attracted to someone."

Despite having to cope with the attention of his legions of female fans, Robert is still shy when it comes to dealing with his admirers.

He admitted: "I don't want to disappoint girls who might think I'm very cool and smooth, which I'm not, I'm afraid. I'm still quite shy, although that seems to be something of an attraction for women."

Robert Pattinson is considering moving to France to escape the limelight, so he can smoke cigarettes and read newspapers.


The actor was catapulted to worldwide fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise. Starring in the series of successful vampire movies has taken its toll on his private life, which is the constant target of public scrutiny. Robert does his best to keep out of the spotlight and rarely discusses his personal life, including his romance with co-star Kristen Stewart.

The British-born star feels he cannot lead a normal life in America because he is too famous, but believes spending time in France could give him more freedom.

“I avoid going to very popular places in LA or London and I’ve been so tired the last several months that I can’t even imagine going out to clubs and partying any more. I wind up going to bed at 10pm most nights because I’m exhausted,” he said in an interview with British magazine New! “I spend most of my time living out of hotel rooms, reading scripts and listening to music or playing music with some friends. But recently I had a chance to spend some time in London while filming Bel Ami and I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to walk around very freely without attracting any attention. It was wonderful! I can’t do that over here in the US.

“People tell me that Paris is the same way and so maybe I’ll spend some time over there, too! Sitting in cafés and reading Le Monde and smoking Gitanes. Actually, I’m trying to stop smoking, so cancel the smoking part!”

The 24-year-old also spoke about his Twilight character, revealing they have one thing in common – they are both useless at understanding women. Even though Robert is in a stable relationship with Kristen, he admits he is clueless when it comes to the opposite sex and romance. The Hollywood heartthrob has been unlucky in love in the past and often lacks confidence when it comes to women.

“I do bear some similarities in the sense that I’m not good at romance. In The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Edward leaves Bella without any explanation because he thinks that’s best for her,” Robert explained. “We all make those kind of blunders in our romantic lives. It’s happened to me in the past where I broke up with a girl because I just didn’t think it was going to work out between us.

“And I’ve been dumped without explanation as well. I also think I lack basic finesse when it comes to women. I give up too easily even if I’m very attracted to someone.”
