Just to be clear, I’ve got nothing against Robert Pattinson.  Out of all the Twilight cast, he seems to take himself the least seriously, which is key when you’re known for playing a glittery vampire.  Which is why I almost feel sorry for him when I hear he has to grin like a jackass and pretend not to be skeeved out by things like a tell-all documentary called Robsessed.  The title alone makes me want to mix up a drain cleaner highball.

Charting the rise of the British star of the “Twilight” pics, “Robsessed” is London-based Revolution’s first title to be made available to buy or rent through iTunes in the U.S. and Canada, as well as in the U.K.
Distrib’s recent U.K. theatrical hits include French crossover “Tell No One,” “U2 3D,” Brit urban pic “Kidulthood,” Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche, New York” and Cary Fukunaga’s Sundance director prize winner “Sin nombre.” [Variety]

If a guy came into my office and told me he ran the production company that produced both “Robsessed” and “Kidulthood”, I’d reflexively poke at my armrest for the button that would drop him into a pit of sharks. It’s pretty much why the shark button was invented.

EverythingisTerrible found this old video, which promises an exclusive look inside the private life of that famous heartthrob from Romeo and Juliet, Leonardo DiCaprio.  He. Is. So. Fine.  Some of the things you might learn from this video about 1995′s hottest Tiger Beat cover boy:

• “He was actually named for Leonardo Da Vinci, so that gives you some indication of how artistic his parents were.”
• “Leo loves doing karate kicks.”
• “He was actually such a misfit child that some kids called him ‘Leonardo Retardo.’”
• “If Frank Sinatra and his gang were called the Rat Pack, Leo and his pals are called ‘The Cat Pack.’  They’re always chasing girls.”

And no, I did not make any of those quotes up.  EverythingisTerrible deserves an Oscar for finding this.
