Robert Pattinson

Its hard to escape the glare of this week's Hottie. He's plastered everywhere, magazine covers, malls, t-shirts worn by tweeners, all in anticipation of the first screen adaptation of the highly regarded Twilight book series by Stephanie Meyer. We must answer the call of the wild that resonates from the screaming and ardent fans of this book by admitting that they might have good reason to scream. While we may not be as enamored as a 12-year-old fan waiting 10 hours for 5 seconds of awkward hello's at one of the many Twilight signings this week at Hot Topic stores, you can see for yourself why we felt 22-year-old London native Robert Pattinson was worthy of some attention.
