Trashy mags, beef jerky and Robert Pattinson

I need that "Yikes" magazine! That looks like my kind of reading!

I need that "Yikes" magazine! That looks like my kind of reading!

Dear Rob-

I have a secret guilty pleasure… trashy mags and bad junkfood. And if I’m not in a airport newsstand I make a run to the drugstore for my fix. It’s alright, you’ll learn to love me for this AND I pick the best junkfood so just let me know what you want and I’ll pick it up. Today’s choice? Beef jerky. Sometimes you just want a dried out piece of meat. Ahem. And of course when I go to check out the clerk goes “Beef jerky huh?” Uh, excuse me? I don’t come to your work and go “So, minimum wage, huh?” Jerkoff.

So anyway Rob, if you don’t make runs to the drug store all the time like I do than you wouldn’t know you’re on the cover of pretty much EVERY magazine out there. I half expected Cat Fancy to have a feature on why you hated cats but were learning to love them because Kristen had one. See the way I did that? I gave even a Cat Fancy story a Robsten twist. It’s so easy!

The biggest loser Gosselin boob job fashion spectacular!

The biggest loser Gosselin boob job fashion bulimia bachelor spectacular!

So because I love trashy, semi true, semi untrue, rag mags and started this feature over on Letters to Twilight and thought we should bring it over here to your neck of the woods, Rob, since you’re EVERYWHERE!

Hang on tight Rob as I work my way through another week of rag mags for your loyal fans!
Themoonisdown

I’ll be covering the three best looking ones that caught my eye: US Weekly, Life & Style and People.

First Up:

People Magazine

IMG00424In some People Magazine Editor’s twisted world, Rob lost hottest bachelor to that melty Ken Doll himself: CHACE CRAWFORD! Is there any justice in the world? Well maybe just a little because they featured pictures of Chace from high school in which he has the most insanely manscaped eye brows and bleached blond hair! HA! We all knew THAT guy in high school.

Let’s get to the goodies:

Or lack thereof. As you can see I gave this feature a HALF thumbs up. First of all it’s an OLD picture from the EW mag shoot like a year ago. Seriously People, this is your idea of selling magazines? And then the accompanying blurb is about people screaming at him and him feeling like crying. And then talking about people’s “energy.” Uh thanks for making Rob sound like a hippie who’s into patchouli and reading people’s aura’s

Not a dry... uh... eye in the house

Not a dry... uh... eye in the house

So you wanna know the best part of this trash mag? It would have to be the fact that a page before Rob’s feature is an advertisement for “Premarian” which is apparently some sort of cream for when your lady business is dry. That alone was worth the 4.95. Robert Pattinson- the face and the cure for vaginal dryness.

Grade: D
Buy this for it’s inadvertently comical placement of  menopausal cream ads oh and a picture of Chris Pine. Yea, that’s ALWAYS good.

Follow the cut for more advertisements for dry female body parts… and Rob…

Oops my hands in the way...

Oops my hands in the way...

Life & Style

By far the trashiest and least reputable of the trio I picked up for today’s in depth reading (“for research,” of course) but I knew I had to grab it for it’s amazingly photoshopped cover that promised “YES, We’re Dating!” and their relationship is “dividing the cast.” Sounded like I would be in for some good gossip!

And then I flipped to the article…

IMG00427

The print version of "Speculation Thursday"

And it was as if Life & Style writers were LTT/LTR regulars. Because the entire article reads exactly like UC and my’s Wednesday/Thursday Speculation extravaganza. Right down to the Nikki Reed/Oregano triangle. And even the KStew/Dakota BFF business. Seriously, Life & Style, we want a cut!

Grade: B
Get this if you’re a Robsten fan and even though it’s gossip we already knew and wrote about, it’s funny to see in print that “Rob ditched Nikki after hooking up at least TWO times when Kristen opened up to his advances.” Oh and I learned that since I have a long torso, I should get a “monokini.” These rag mags are always so helpful when choosing a swim suit!

Summer vacay plans: knotted tshirts and lots of them!

US Weekly

This was probably the rag I was most looking forward to based off the cover picture and title “Tangled Web: Rob and His Women.” Though this sounds a lot like a Lifetime Movie of the week, clearly US Weekly was referring to all of us lovely ladies here at LTR.

IMG00429

Robbie, Chrissy and Tay Tay, OH MY!

Bypassing that Stephanie Pratt “The Hills Made Me Bulimic” nonsense, cause honestly who isn’t vomiting after watching that show? I headed straight for the goodies (that’s what she said!). The article titled “Summer Separation,” which might be a lost novel from Judy Blume’s  Friends Forever collection, features pics of Rob and Kristen on set and “how they’re handling their time apart.” And of course everyone’s favorite KStew/Dakota BFF’s picture. The most surprising being the tidbit about Kristen, 19 attending a Hwood party where she “sipped vodka and nuzzled Russel Brand’s (!!!) neck.” Now, this isn’t my first time at the rodeo, but listing Kristen’s age and then that she was underage drinking might be a a little irresponsible, US Weekly. Just sayin’. And where the crap did that Russel Brand thing come from?! I think we may have found KStew’s “type” though: dirty, english guys.

My husband's in Coldplay!

My husband's in Coldplay!

A big thumbs up for “New Boys on the Block” feature which has not only Rob (as the next Johnny Depp, meow!), and not only Chris Pine (new Harrison Ford), but ALSO Taylor (as the new Keanu Reeves). Though I can’t help but wonder if that’s a complement or not.

And lastly US Weekly has a little blurb of Stephen Moyer from True Blood calling Rob a “pussy… He’s the slimfast, Diet Coke of Vampires.” And as much as I love True Blood, Bill, if Rob’s the slimfast then you’re the cheeseburger because you have the cheesiest bad southern accent and dumbest looking fangs around. So go back to whining about Sookie or as you would say: “Sukie” and leave Rob to be brooding Edward.

Grade: A-
Get this if you want quantity and wanna laugh at how Emilie and Rob are “even starting to dress alike – plaid and dirty looking.” Uh, hate to break it to you US Weekly but “hobo chic” is the fashions de jour these days, especially for the Twi cast.

Now back to this beef jerky…

Found that special unicorn? Ready to plan your Twilight themed wedding?! We’re here to help at LTT!
Wanna discuss stuff besides the posts?! Get on over to the forum and make some new friends!
Today’s the last day to submit your handiwork in the Rob Porn-Off with the Twisisterhood!

  1. oh.
    my.
    god.

    rpatts is NOT the new johnny depp. he never will be. ever. johnny depp does not expire. and rob is NOTHING like him.

    i like rob.
    but he’s NOT johnny depp.

    the end.

  2. Well sorry ladies but i got to head out too! I will be back in full force next week for sure! dont have to much fun with out me!!

    • OK T! Have a great time with family and best of luck to the mommies!

    • Talk to you soon Tara.

  3. It’s always weird when we make the jump. I posted on the last page.

    • I posted back, but we should probably move over here now. It’s weirder to make the jump with just two people.

      • lol

  4. I’d hate to miss out because it’s too full. At least I would have Thursday just in case.

    • Very true.

  5. What have we got to talk about tonight?

    • I’m afraid I’m pretty low on ideas.

      • Great conversationalists we are! Have you wandered over to the forum lately? Any Rob news that interests you?

        • I read a few things. Seems like mostly he’s just filming and then every trashy rag is speculating on who he is and isn’t sleeping with. Did I miss anything exciting?

          • No. That’s pretty much what I got. I don’t check around much anymore. I should do that again. I did go to Lainey’s site because Nat had mentioned it. Do you know what Emile Hirsch’s gf leaked about Rob? I must have missed out on that.

          • I haven’t heard anything about that.

          • It’s been a while since it happened but it was just mentioned in passing today. Oh well.

          • Must have not been a very big deal.

          • LOL Guess not!

          • Odd isn’t it? Usually anything with Rob is considered a big deal.

          • It probably was at the time. He seems to be taking to the night life in NY. People said (guys and girls) that he was just fun to hang with, very comfortable. I think we could have guessed that already but it’s nice to have other people acknowledge that he’s a nice guy.

          • That’s good for him, hanging out with lots of people. And it is nice for people to acknowledge he’s a nice guy. Usually they want to make him out to be kind of a creep.

          • Yeah, that’s what I think. So it is a good thing. I do bet he’s a lot of fun in a relaxed group. *sigh*

          • Imagining you’re part of his group?

          • Wishing for a lot of things, but yeah, wouldn’t that be fun? It sort of brings around the longings again.

  6. RE: “It would have to be the fact that a page before Rob’s feature is an advertisement for “Premarian” which is apparently some sort of cream for when your lady business is dry. That alone was worth the 4.95. Robert Pattinson- the face and the cure for vaginal dryness.

    LOL HOT DAMN YES! put that boy in a tube and sell that lube! – I can’t stop laughing. Moon girl, you outdid yourself on this one. Its going to be hard to try and top it. I can’t stop laughing!

  7. LOTN?

    • Hiya Nat. What’s cookin’?

      • Hmm. I was hoping for a ‘marble member’ (too funny…) but other than that, no, nothing. What about your EC? Any FF developments?

        • That ‘marble member’ was funny! She just puts it out there, doesn’t she? But she makes no allowances for anyone to have the feelings.

          On the FF front, I’m really enjoying Library Rendezvous. They are having so much fun together. Right now they are house sitting for his parents for a week while they’re in Italy—it’s a mansion with all the trimmings.

          • I find her hysterical, absolutely hysterical. She just takes the piss out of everything and everyone and it’s gold to read.

            I don’t think that she makes no allowances for anyone to have the feelings – she’s just realistic about how loopy the twi-twits can be.

            The marble member thing was just… you could make jewellery out of that, it’s so 24K.

            Can you post the link for the library FF?

          • http://fanfiction.net/s/4775304/Library_Rendezvous

    • Hey Natalie.

      • EP – how’s the London travel plans going?

        • They’re going. I still need to fill out the paperwork at my actual university. That doesn’t sound like much fun.

          • Oh, bureaucracy.
            What fun.
            Keep a little picture of Rob beside you when you do it – if it gets too much mentally say ‘how you doing’ at it, and remind yourself of why you are going.

  8. This is my all time favourite post – right up there with the Kristen birthday post.

    Bloody hilarious.

    • Lots of good points were made! Those ridiculous fan mags—what’s with all the yesterday’s news? Don’t any of the reporters keep up? How did they get those jobs if they are just going to recycle old information? The Premarin add was pretty funny—who else but Moon would have caught it to put it all together in a post?

      • Well, most of the fan mags probably don’t lurk the internet looking for the news the way that we did.

        I always wondered how Moon and UC seemed to know everything that was going on – then Twitter. Rpattznews, or whatever the hell it is.

        Whoever runs that twitter must do it 24 hours a day.

        • I’m sure there’s a network and they all pass information so everything is up to the minute. That must help. And just checking a few of the sites out there regularly will get you anything new.

          And I’m sure you’re right about “reporters” not following closely, but still. Some of that stuff was from last November! It would just take one “expert” at the magazine on each major celebrity to keep up to date. I guess it’s not that big of a deal.

  9. Ok Ladies, I can’t keep my eyes open. Night and very sweet dreams.

    • OK EP. See you later. Have a good night’s sleep.

  10. Night, girls.

    • Bye Nat.

  11. EyeC you still around??

    • Hi FN. Yeah, I’m still here.

      • Ok good! lol

        How are ya?

        • I’m OK. Still reading.

          • Yes. L R. It was the last time so there’s a good chance–I checked this afternoon and nothing yet.

          • Library Rendezvous? I’m on Ch. 10 of APD. I’m kinda sad to get to the end. I’m hoping there’s a TOV update today. Wasn’t it a week between updates?

          • Bummer.

  12. So, EyeC I have a bit of a problem that I need some perspective on.

    • OK. Shoot.

      • Well, remember the unhealthy relationship I mentioned last night? Well, I talked to this guy about it and he offered to try and make it more healthy and I’m kind of afraid that he’s just saying it to keep me around. But then I wonder if I’m just not giving him the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know him very well and I think I might just be too afraid to get too close to him. I don’t want to be his girlfriend and I told him that. Part of me wants to just tell him we can’t be friends and the other part feels like I’m just being mean.

        • How long has it been? What kind of changes do you think he has made since you were last with him? Do you have any fear about being alone with him? Would it just be that you are wanting to be nice to him and not hurt his feelings? If you don’t want to be a girlfriend, what is the point?

          I’m not sure what went on before so I’m not sure what to say but if he hit you, NO. Was he verbally abusive? What does he want out of the relationship with you now? What are you willing to give him? You will be moving soon, so that could figure into it.

          • I’m going to send you an e-mail so I can explain a few things.

          • Good.

          • Still working on it. Sorry :/

          • That’s fine.

  13. How many chapters are there in APD? 12? It’s good, isn’t it? A little like the Dom/sub.

    • Yes there are 12. I liked that corset. Put that on the list! lol It is similar to The Dom, but I like that she isn’t completely submissive.

      • LOL The corset! You WOULD go for that! Yes. The arrangement isn’t as formal as D/s but he does seem to need that dominance. With her background I wouldn’t think she would go total sub on him. They’ll work it out, I’m sure. He paid her back for that bathroom scene though.

        • I don’t remember the bathroom scene! My memory is awful! lol I’m sure once you tell me I’ll remember. I can tell it’s going to be one of those “Oh yeah!” things. I don’t see her going total sub either.

          I’ve always thought corsets are pretty. They always seem so feminine. They remind me of the Elizabethian (sp?) era. I have a thing for pin-ups too. I think it’s really cool how women in those days didn’t have to be showing all their “goodies” to be considered sexy. I love Gil Elvgren’s paintings. I’ve started collecting his calendars and I want to have them framed and make a big grid on one of the walls of my house one day. Is that weird? lol

          • I would like to add that I never really thought of how uncomfortable it would be to wear one though. However, it turned out okay for her…LOL

          • I think the incident I’m talking about happens just after the corset so you probably haven’t gotten there yet. One small teasing thing. Not major.

            I could see that–the Gil Elvgren wall.

          • The leather seems like it would be hot. I wouldn’t know. lol

          • I thought the same thing about the leather!

  14. It’s sent! Finally! lol

  15. Okay, I now know about the bathroom scene. I think I would’ve been quite irritated if I were him! Poor guy even waited outside the door! I can imagine his sad panda face :( lol

    • Yeah. That was mean. Sometimes it’s easy to take things too far and not realize the impact.

      • Yep. I know all about that. I tend to say things sometimes jokingly that can be found offensive…so, I apologize in advance if that ever happens here.

        • LOL OK. lol

  16. You’re going to love L R! They are just so cute together! They’re revealing how many partners they’ve each had before. lol They are funny and sweet and are having all kinds of fun in the bedroom and on the counter and in the guest room and in the shower and on the pool table and in the library—I think you get my drift! Plus there’s A/J and R/E all three couples falling in love at the same time.

    • AWWWW!!! I’m almost done w/ APD.

      It sounds like they may rival YGMCTG E/B as far as locations. lol

      I think it’s cute that A/J and R/E are falling in love at the same time. Does it have their perspectives? Or is it just seen through E/B? I think I like the FFs that have both POVs better than the one’s that are only Bella. I like to know what they both think about the same situations.

      • Me too. This one has both perspectives and switches. B/A/R are roommates and E/J/E are roommates. The guys have moved back to Seattle after finishing their 4 years on the East Coast and they are 2 years older than the girls. The way they met was not a sraight forward thing. Kind of messed up, but sweet.

        • Oh, EyeC, you make me so interested in reading the ones you’re reading that I don’t want to finish the one’s I’m already reading! lol So many FFs, so little time…

          • I know. I’m an enabler. I’m going to have so many updates to catch up on after a week away! I have to ‘make a list’!!! lol

          • I’ll try to keep a list of what I’m reading that updates. That way I can let you know. That should help some :)

          • I am really jealous of your organizational skills. You’d probably have a heart attack if you saw what my room looks like right now. lol

  17. Bwahahahahahahahaha!!! This is hilarious:

    I knew we weren’t talking about my example anymore. He seemed to think I was judging him based on some artwork. I guess I was, but for me it seemed like so much more. Just like I wouldn’t date a–

    “You aren’t a Republican, are you?” I whispered nervously.

    His lips twitched into a smile. “And if I said yes? Would you stop dating me?” Shit. That wasn’t a denial.

    • ROFLMAO! I can barely type! I loved that line.

      • That last line is the killer for me.

        • Guess what’s up ahead?

          • Hmm…I’m reading about Fetish shoes right now…IDK….lol

          • Oh wait….there’s an ELEVATOR!!!

          • Yes.

          • Mwahahahaha!!! I’m glad he got even! LOL

  18. I’m glad he got even, but at the same time I’m sad for no elevator sex.

    I’m torn….lol

    • That’s what I was saying. It is kinda sad. Games.

      • She missed out. But she certainly learned her lesson.

        • Yeah, I suppose we all do something like that at some point. A learning experience.

          • I’m making a mental note from her experience.

            *Do not make a guy think he’s going to shower w/ me and then lock the door and leave him in the hallway b/c when we’re leaving a museum later, we may just find ourselves in an elevator.

            LOL

  19. I have to say that I’m not overly impressed w/ the art she describes. I thought the Magritte paintings were interesting. I didn’t care for the photos.

    • I’m not impressed either. Just makes you think.

      • It does. As art should. I can appreciate that it was someone’s vision even if it’s not something I like. Like Bella, I don’t know very much about art history. I did know about Dali before Rob played him, so that makes me feel cool. lol

        • There’s always more learning to do. I remember art history class—once the lights went out at 8:00 o’clock in the morning…. I came across my notes last month and pulled them out to read. I’m not too intersted in taking it any further.

          • lol

            Something is lost when you’re forced to dissect something into a million pieces.

          • True. I should be taking advantage of the art museum here but I haven’t been very good at it.

          • I have free passes to the museum here and haven’t been! lol I think the last time I went was a field trip for one of my classes. I don’t remember the name of the artists we saw, but one of them was especially cool. He did this thing where he cut holes into paper and layered them on top of each other. It was really cool. There was one he did w/ sheet music to a song.

          • It does sound cool.

            I’m going to have to go to bed so I don’t fall asleep in the movie tonight. I should be fine to be here again tonight.

            Get some sleep yourself and have a really good dream!

          • I think it’s time for me too. I’ll have to finish ch. 12 later.

            Remember everything! You’ll have to tell us all about it!

            Good night! Hope you have some Chocolate Covered Robdreams yourself! lol

  20. And thanks again EyeC! You ROCK!

    • Night.

  21. I can’t resist the mags.

    I, myself, get US Weekly sent to my HOME. Yeah.

    I got that one last week and totally “BAHAHAHAHAHA”ed at the cover with “Rob & His Women.”

    Silly USMag, we LTR girls know SO much more than you do.

    I did give props (via Tweet) to the “New Boys on the Block” feature, too. Though, TayTay as Keanu is a little far-fetched and not altogether a compliment. Poor Keanu. He’s, like, the same person in EVERY movie. We keep him cuz he’s cute. Like TayTay. :-)
