Here's the top 10 of 2012

1. Holy Motors (Leos Carax)

From Movieline

The Google translation of the Cahiers du Cinema December 2012 issue is rough, to say the least, but Stéphane Delorme's editorial (located online here) states, among other agendas of the issue (translated from French: "Rather than commenting on Tops, we prefer to dwell on the failings of contemporary cinema copyright") that Cahier's Top 10 selection "shows that we expect from cinema audacity and heart."

Rob is #2 on The Sunday Times' Young Rich List

LONDON - Actors, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson, musicians, led by Adele, and models dominate the Young Rich List of British millionaires age 30 and under that "The Sunday Times" is scheduled to publish later this month.

Its Rich List 2012, set to come out on April 29, includes 60 young millionaires along with the 1,000 richest people in Britain and the 250 richest in Ireland, the paper said.

Outside of sports, which has its own Times rich list in May, more than half of the wealthiest young people in the U.K. are entertainers, according to the paper.

The young entertainment crowd is led by Harry Potter star Radcliffe, 22, who is worth $31.8 (£54) million, the Times said. He has increased his wealth by $9.5 million over the past year, helped by the success of his latest movie, The Woman in Black.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson saw a bigger $12.7 million gain in his net worth over the past year, but comes in second with $63.6 million.

Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson ($41.4 million, up from $38.2 million) and Rupert Grint (unchanged at $38.2 million) rank fifth and sixth on the actors' list.

Adele, 23, is the young British entertainer who made the biggest jump in the past year. The pop singer more than tripled her wealth thanks to her second album 21 to $31.8 million.

Rob and Kristen are #2 on Forbes' "Hollywood's Top-Earning Screen Couples" List

Ranking second behind Grint and Watson is reported real-life couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the stars of the Twilight franchise. All of the Twilight films to date have hit theaters in the last five years, earning $2.5 billion at the global box office. While the Harry Potter series is mostly about Potter’s journey, the Twilight franchise is centered on Stewart and Pattinson’s characters, the human Bella and the vampire Edward. In the most recent movie they got married, with disastrous results. They’ll have a chance to boost their earnings even more when the second part of the last book, Breaking Dawn, is released this coming November.

Rob is E! Celeb of the Year

Sixty-four celebs, five weeks of voting, four fiercely contested brackets and a surprising wild card round later, Robert Pattinson comes out on top.

The great-haired hunk has won the E! Celeb of the Year honor—for the second year in a row!

Team Jacob and Twilight haters can get to steppin' because the evidence is crystal clear: You guys love R.Pattz. And what's even better? Pattinson's competitor for the final round of 2011's tournament was his "sexy goddess" Kristen Stewart. Again.

Here's how it went down:

More than a month ago, we introduced the 64 big-name contenders—Kate Middleton, Charlie Sheen, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears, to name a few—who all had a lot going on this year. (For the record, the new Duchess of Cambridge came super close to grabbing this title.)

So what made Rob stand out above all the pop stars, royals, Oscar winners and warlocks who dominated 2011?

Was it all about the jaw-dropping Breaking Dawn: Part 1, the sparkly vamp's latest blockbuster, which hit theaters last month and is still making bank?

Or was it his bold steps to more challenging roles like Cosmopolis?

Or maybe it was that mind-of-its-own hair or his?

Or was it just the smooch?

Whatever the case may be, we clearly can't escape the power of Pattinson. Congrats, Rob!

The question remains: What charity will he choose to have E! donate the $25,000 prize? We'll keep you posted.

Rob is #4 on Forbes' Top-Grossing Actors of 2011 List

Rob is n°3 on Forbes ‘Hollywood’s best actors for the buck’ list

No. 3 Robert Pattinson

For every $1 Pattinson is paid, his films earn an average $39.43.

No. 3 Robert Pattinson -For every $1 Pattinson is paid, his films earn an average of $39.43.

The Twilight star ranks lower than Kristen Stewart because he’s been busy. Only one of his Twilight films, Eclipse, qualifies for the list. The other films we looked at for Pattinson were Water for Elephants and Remember Me.

See the full list HERE

To create our list we looked at the 40 highest-earning actors in Hollywood. To qualify, each had to have starred in at least three movies in the past five years that opened in more than 500 theaters. Movies that opened after May 1 were not counted. We also didn’t look at animated films because the stars aren’t really the draw.

We used data gathered for our annual Celebrity 100 list to calculate each star’s estimated earnings on each film (including up-front pay and any earnings from the movie’s box-office receipts and first-year sales of DVDs). We then looked at each movie’s estimated budget (not including marketing costs, which are susceptible to accounting chicanery) and box-office and DVD earnings to figure out an operating income for each film.

We added up each star’s compensation on his or her last three films and the operating income on those films, and divided the total operating income by the star’s total compensation to come up with a return-on-investment number. The final number represents an average of how much a studio earns for every dollar paid.

Rob is #17 on AskMen UK 'Top 49 Men of 2011'

WHY IS ROBERT PATTINSON NO 17?

Imagine everywhere you go women fawn at your feet: in fact you spend most of your time batting them off in between managing your £32 million fortune. Now imagine that at Forbes magazine has named you one of the most powerful celebs in the world and Times magazine has you down as one of the 100 most influential men in the world - oh and you're still only 25. Welcome to Robert Pattinson's world.

His role as the sensitive vampire Edward Cullen in 2008’s Twilight catapulted Londoner Pattinson’s face into stardom and into the high school lockers of girls the world over. He's raised the bar on how women measure good looks, and has also become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Not that we hate him for it or anything you understand. The jammy git.

THREE HIGHLIGHTS OF ROBERT PATTINSON'S 2011

Rumoured to be wanted for Green Day's American Idiots movie.
Brought his relationship with Kristen Stewart out in the open.

A survey of over 7000 readers of website AskMen to find whose achievements, profile and status had the biggest impact on UK life over the last 12 months

(...)

Drew Lubega, UK Editor of AskMen.com, said: "This was the year that our readers believe Prince William finally came of age, making the royal family accessible and cool, in a way that the previous generation failed. He's a hard worker determined to use his global profile for good causes.

"Everyone who makes the Top 49 have experienced an incredible year - shaping the opinions and tastes of men across the UK. Making the list is an achievement, but against the toughest economic background for almost a century, it's incredibly telling that our Prime Minister wasn't considered more influential by young Brits."

Robert Pattinson on Forbes ‘Hollywood’s Highest Earning Actors’ List

Rob earned $20 million and is #11 with Jim Carrey, Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt.


Robert Pattinson - $20 million
The Twilight star branched out recently with Water for Elephants, which costarred Reese Witherspoon. The film did OK but its box office was a drop in the bucket compared to the Twilight films. With two movies left, expect Pattinson to keep earning big for the next two years.

Rob on Forbes' 'Best-Paid Celebrities Under 30' List

Robert Pattinson, 25
$20 million
With the end of the Twilight franchise in sight, Pattinson is preparing himself for a post-vampire career. The romance Remember Me earned only $56 million but that's not bad considering the film had a tiny budget of $16 million. Water for Elephants, costarring Reese Witherspoon, also performed decently at the box office proving that audiences are willing to accept Pattinson as more than an undead heartthrob.

Rob is 8th Richest Brit Under 30 Beating Prince William

Figures compiled for the Sunday Times Rich List illustrate just how lucrative the Harry Potter and Twilight film franchises have been for their stars.

Just as JK Rowling’s wizard adventures have beaten Stephenie Meyer’s vampire saga at the box office, Radcliffe has won the wealth battle against Pattinson.

Radcliffe, 21, is now said to be worth a staggering £48 million thanks to his appearances as Harry Potter on the big screen and his stage work.

Pattinson, 24, who appeared in the Harry Potter movies before going on to play Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, has amassed a £32 million fortune.

The figures put them in fifth and eighth positions respectively on the list of wealthiest Britons under 30.

With Keira Knightley’s £30 million securing tenth place in the table, it seems being a young actor pays better than being a young royal.

Prince William and his brother Harry only make 11th, with their inheritance from their late mother and land ownership worth £28 million.

That did at least put them ahead of Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who tied for 13th with £24 million.

"I'm so sick of my own pallid, gray complexion," he's said. "Having that makeup put on every single day, as soon as you get it taken off, it's like, 'Oh, you do look normal. You look healthy now.'"
