Robert Pattinson Deals With Bizarre Side-Effects of Fame and the Third Round of “Twilight,” “Eclipse”
LOS ANGELES — Fame can be measured in Google hits or the number of paparazzi following a star from his or her guarded-and-gated mansion to the nearest Starbucks. In the case of Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” films, one look at the Internet Movie Database’s 2009 STARmeter tells the story.
In 2008, the star of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which opens Wednesday, ranked as the 33rd most-searched star on IMDb. But in 2009, Pattinson rocketed to No. 1.
He just edged out his “Eclipse” love interest, Kristen Stewart, on the list. And just to emphasize the enormity of the “Twilight” sensation, consider that six of the top 15 stars in the STARmeter, which measures the search activity of 57 million IMDb users, are in “Eclipse”: Pattinson, Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed.
