This is a really emotional entry, but necessary as in a way to thank all the 15600 followers on twitter and the people that visit the blog daily. I'm sorry for typos.
Robert Pattinson Life is closing.
I, Mandy, didn't start this blog. It was created in 2008 by Michelle and in April (or May, I can't even remember) she invited me to help. That day I also started modding the livejournal community Pattinsonlife. Real life happened and Michelle eventually left. I decided to keep posting on RPLife.
I love this blog, I invested so much into it. I gave up a lot to keep it always updated. I tried my best to post what was important. Typing this entry right now is harder than I ever thought it would be.
If you are reading this, we probably have something in common. We are all here for Robert Pattinson. What happened didn't really damaged the site. Entries are still here. Yeah a lot of pictures are gone, but I can always repost them with time. The problem is that, to me, it was the tip of the iceberg. I try to stay away from drama in this fandom, but I see what is happening. All the hate, the fights, it shouldn't be like this.
That livejournal account was deleted because someone reported a few pictures (I don't know which pictures, since everything was deleted) and I really can't understand why. I'm sure everyone enjoyed them when they were posted, but the hate around here made a person, that probably saved the photo, file a complaint. When something that it was supposed to be fun starts being the reason I'm stressing all the time, I guess it's time to stop;
It has been a wonderful jorney. When I created the twitter account to link the blog to readers I never thought I'd get such a great response. To all affiliates, THANK YOU. To all followers and readers, THANK YOU. To everyone that supported the blog, THANK YOU. To all the friends I made during this time, THANK YOU.
There's so much we can be excited for. Breaking Dawn filming, the Eclipse DVD and commentary, Bel Ami, Water For Elephants and all the projects in Rob's future. The fact that I'm not posting anymore, doesn't mean I'll stay away. I'll be lurking and waiting to fangirl to all those things.
The entries in the blog will still be online, I wont delete them. They'll work as an archive for the posts that were lost in Pattinsonlife. I'm also leaving my place as a moderator there but the community will keep going with all the other great mods - A heads up, the reason the community is private is to keep the kind of people that did this to the lj account away. If you're not new to livejournal, you'll be accepted.
Once again and for the last time, THANK YOU

Mackenzie Foy To Play Renesmee in Breaking Dawn?
It’s a big day for Twihards. First Maggie Grace signs on to play Irina. Now EW.com has learned that little 9-year old Mackenzie Foy is inches away from signing on to play Renesmee, Edward and Bella’s vampire/human love child that’s a central role in the final installment of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
It’s not yet clear how the diminutive actress, who’s appeared in one episode each of television shows FlashForward and ‘Til Death, will portray the character who ages a full 17 years in only seven. Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too.
Summit Entertainment is remaining mum on the issue. But to see Foy’s angelic face, which could very well be the offspring of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, check out her website.

Rob is Glamour's "Best Dressed Brit 2010"
His Style: Tartan lumberjack shirts and jeans when out and about, drool-inducing tailored suits and skinny ties when on the red carpet. Robert Pattinson is certainly the crush of the moment but now he can now add Britain’s Most Stylish Man to his long list of accolades.

Ed Westwick "People come up to me so many times and think I'm Robert Pattinson"
MTV's The Buried Life Talks About Stealing Rob's Hair. New Season Premieres Tonight
"We got dared on our Facebook page," Jonnie recalled. "We asked them what they would dare us to do, because one of the list items is to accept a dare, and they said the world voted and that we should steal a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair."
The guys, always up for any challenge, went after the "Twilight" star.
"So, we went vampire hunting and did it," Duncan said. "I'm not telling [where the hair is]. It's in my pillow case."

Ed Westwick says Rob and him are representing for the Brits in Hollywood!
Another day, another tall, dark, handsome Brit in Hollywood? Westwick nods at the reference to English actor Robert Pattinson, who plays dashing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight films. Both are narrow-eyed, deep-voiced, chisel-jawed and beguilingly pouty – not that we’ve thought about it much.
‘Yup, there seems to be something going on right now,’ he laughs. ‘I can’t figure it out but we’re definitely representing'.

Old School Rob Gifs

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD Extras
New/old Video from the 'Eclipse' Premiere + Fan Account
I just discovered a video I got of Rob during the Eclipse Premiere when he came to the bleachers side of the Premiere area. It was complete insanity over there. I was standing behind the front row and when Rob, Kristen, and Taylor pulled up people when crazy. A mother standing right near me literally shoved everyone out of the way to push her daughter to the front. While that happened I ended up getting shoved back even further so I gave up and stood on the bleachers. A very kind young girl reach back and grabbed my magazine I wanted signed and said she would get it signed for me. She ended up getting both Rob and Taylor's autograph for me! She disappeared right after so I never got to properly thank you, but she was my Twilight guardian angel for the night. There is some amazing Twilight fans out there, and this fan is example of one of them. At the end of the video you can hear me say "Omg, thank you so much" That's when I discovered my video was running instead of me actually taking pictures.
Thanks,
Arianna

Robert Pattinson: The Latest Brit To Make It Big In Hollywood
.jpg)
Thanks to the Twilight Saga Robert Pattinson has staked his claim on the hearts of millions as Edward Cullen. And that fame has already earned him a fortune...With Twilight mania sweeping the globe it is perhaps unsurprising that vampire Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen, found his way on to the Sunday Times Young Millionaires List this year.
His new entry on the list places him at 13th, above Charlotte Church and Cheryl Cole but below Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame. And at the tender age of just 24.
For the uninitiated, the Twilight Saga is a series of romantic fantasy films, which built up a cult following, based on novels by the American author Stephenie Meyer. Robert Pattinson, with a notable similarity to Robert Smith of the Cure, is its star. He is just the latest Brit to make it big in Hollywood.
His new found fame and fortune are still seemingly strange to him though, since he struggled diligently in acting for years. He started acting in amateur plays at the age of 15 with the Barnes Theatre Company.
His first real break came along with a supporting role in the television film Curse of the Ring in 2005. However most of the earnings from his first acting job then went towards paying off his fees for his attendance at the Harrodian School, in Barnes, West London.
But none of it might have happened. He has admitted that at one stage he was ready to give up acting, and spent a year instead trying to break into the music business: he's also a talented musician, playing both guitar and piano.
His next big break came along in the form of the role of Cedric Diggory, a character in the Harry Potter films. However, this temporary character was nothing in comparison to the Twilight persona he would go on to create. Twilight was the defining moment that cemented his place in the hearts and minds of millions of people, as well as making him rich.
When he first took on the role of Edward Cullen he was paid an already hefty $2m (approximately £1.3m) and by the time the mass hysteria of fandom had kicked in, the second instalment saw both him and co-star Kristen Stewart receive around six times their original fee - around £8m each.
According to E! he garnered between £8m and £9.2m for his reprisal of the role in the third installment. He also made Vanity Fair's Top Hollywood Earners of 2009, at position 36, for pulling in earnings of $18m (£12m). However, unlike most other celebrities, even those who haven't rocketed up the rich list, Pattinson appears to have no real yearning for material goods, at least not yet.
He noted that throughout the last three years he has spent much of it staying in hotels and when he's back at home in England he happily stays with his family. He considered buying a house in Hollywood but decided not for the level-headed but pessimistic reason that 'I don't even know if I'll be working next year.'
Far from being out of work, he is inundated with it. Aside from his more independent films in which he is attempting a carve out a different name for himself, the role of Edward Cullen pays well. With the release of Eclipse, the third film in the series, attention has turned to the final installment.
That movie, Breaking Dawn, is set to be split into two films and it is yet to be announced how much he earned from these although it is reported that the cast all wanted raises.
It is perhaps this guarantee of work that inspired him to be a little more decadent with his money and rent an apartment in LA which, apparently, is also furnished with rented furniture.
Not only has he not bought himself a mansion or squandered money on meaningless frivolities, but he drove his old car, a 1989 BMW until it died, literally, in flames. He finally rented an Audi S4 convertible – a car worth a modest (in Hollywood circles) £40,000 and is believed to have bought one since. Not exactly what you might attribute to being the lifestyle of the rich and the famous.

Finally! Rob Outtakes from the 2010 EW Photoshoot
We FINALLY have some Rob outtakes from the Entertainment Weekly 2010 photoshoot and they're HUGE!. But when I say "huge", I mean huuuuuuuuge! As in "you can print them and make posters and it'll still be high quality". Is there a word superior to UHQ? Because that's what they are.
So I made different versions of the same files:
A - Gigantic files (they're about 7000x9000 and 40MB each file)
B - UHQ versions(3000x4000 and 7 - 8MB each file)
C - HQ versions (1500X2000 and 1,5 - 2MB each file)
If you click on the preview pictures, they will direct you to the HQ versions of each one. For some reason, the coloring of the previews are messed up, but in the downloads, they're normal :)
IMPORTANT NOTE: We only have these pictures in this size, thanks to Setje at Pattinsonlife. She decided not to tag them, BUT, she asked 2 things: 1 - If you repost these, credit Pattinsonlife 2. DON'T tag these pictures as your own when you upload them to fansite galleries.
