Robert Pattinson told Closer magazine that he had to give up modeling because he started looking like a man:

“When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career.”

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone asks the actor: Do you have any gay teenagers contacting you?

“Not really. It’s really just increasingly more and more straight guys than gay guys — unless my gaydar is just not really working. It’s just started happening recently. They’re all kind of a little bit embarrassed about it, but they’ll all go up and still get their book signed or whatever. I’m so used to like writing to girls I always keep writing like, “Love, romance and kiss, kiss, kiss” that I have to like cross it out, “Oh, sorry about that.”

 “Parts Per Billion,” will be the first film that the 22-year-old leading man will shoot as a certified star.

“It’s an ensemble story,” explained Rosario Dawson, who will also appear in the film alongside Olivia Thirlby and Dennis Hopper when it begins shooting next month. “[The script features several] different storylines that are going on.”

Directed by newcomer Brian Horiuchi, “Billion” tells the story of three couples (including Pattinson and Thirlby) dealing with the same reality-shaking event that threatens to tear them apart. Pattinson will shoot “Billion” before he reports for duty on the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” and the film is expected to be released in late 2009/early 2010.

“I don’t have a relationship to him in the film,” Dawson said of Pattinson. “So we never meet. But we’re all within the same group of people, and the same city of people, that are responding to a life-threatening situation.”

The “Sin City” and “Clerks II” star (who will next be seen in the Will Smith drama “Seven Pounds”), also revealed to us that she’s been keeping a close eye on the “Twilight” phenomenon – and her future co-star – as both have spent the last few weeks running amok on the world of pop culture. “I haven’t met him yet, but I’m really looking forward to it,” she explained, adding another reason why she’s a newly-minted “Twilight” fan herself: “Catherine Hardwicke is someone I really adore, and have been casual friends with over the years.”

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has revealed he likes women who are slightly crazy. I’m sure there are a few of those out there! : )

The former Harry Potter star has been catapulted into the highest stratum of teen heartthrobdom after landing the lead role of Edward in the new teen vampire movie – but while he can have his pick of women now, he told Closer magazine recently that he finds himself attracted to the slightly odd ones.

He explained: “The stuff I find attractive in women, I always regret finding attractive.

“I always like a kind of madness in a woman, and when they are really, really strong. And they’re the worst – mental, strong women!

“But I like it when they hate me right from the beginning.”

Any takers out there????
