The Gossip Controversial

Robstenlovers recogen este artículo de Movie Fanatic en el que reflexionan en serio sobre el fenómeno Robert Pattinson, el peso de los blogs y páginas de internet, el acoso paparazzi y la forma en que le puede afectar todo esto. Merece la pena leerlo entero. Yo os pongo aquí una especie de resúmen (lo que está en verde, como si lo dijera yo misma).

Seriously, yeah seriously. Let's talk Robert Pattinson...

A lot of big things has happened but practically nothing has changed post Twilight era - only that Robert Pattinson is now the world's most popular actor and from a few Rob fansites (I know of only 3 back then) there are now dozens of sites and blogs competing, promoting and breathing Rob Pattinson.

The issue about and the resolution regarding actors' invasion of privacy will take years before anyone can see any sign of progress, if at all. Obviously, a lot are at stake. Tabloid publishers got a gossip and rumour hungry audience numbering in the millions to consider. Paparazzi as a career continues to break new grounds and as collaborators, the celebrity gossip bloggers need more scandals to spread around, with photos added for dramatic effect. But let us not forget those aspiring young boys and girls who'll do anything for the sake of publicity and 'art', in that particular order.

To those who want to maintain the status quo, their argument: since you desperately want to become rich and famous, you just need to 'get used to it'.

To an actor like Rob, getting used to it, requires the help of his talent manager and/or agent and the employment of celebrity bodyguards. Perhaps one might add, an actor like Rob might need the services of a Psychiatrist, a Nutrionist, an experienced fortune teller (card or hand or both) and/or horoscope reader and adviser, an athletic trainor and a personal secretary to handle his financial, personal and creative needs. I forgot! how about a Personal Physician, to monitor his health and sign for the much-needed prescription drugs?

To a blogger like Perez Hilton, Rob Pattinson is like a gift from heaven.

Imagine this: A thoughtful, handsome, decent and honest young man who is being groomed to become a superstar. No star complex, no big ego, just one serious young actor, polishing his craft, oblivious to what's happening around him. He still speaks his mind - he's no robot like some of the other young actors we have right now. So what? What can Perez do? A lot actually. There is a gold mine of possibilities - malicious, filthy and juicy possibilities!

Last year, tMF also posted some articles related to Rob's apparent lack of peace of mind as he becomes more and more popular, thus becoming the biggest celebrity target. Worth noting is the fact how he effectively dealt with the paparazzi in one incident by just being true to himself. I have to admire the guy. Call him any name, criticize his hair and/or his (or lack of) fashion sense, but he showed grace under pressure!
