So I called my agent up and I had just turned my phone back on and he’s like, ‘I was trying to get a hold of you! I know you were camping but there’s this project and I want you to go audition for it.’ So I went for the audition and I did it, it was good, I went for Embry and then I got a call back so I was doing a lot of homework and research about it and I find out it’s a huge, huge project, like Twilight, you know, the Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Rob Pattinson signing autographsOn the Ellen DeGeneres Show Robert Pattinson revealed that during a recent autograph session he began to get a little tired and said something he shouldn’t have to a fan. “It was after a period of signing 500 signatures, and one of [the fans] just came up. You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything, and I kind of got bored of saying, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ And [the fan] said in her 10 seconds, ‘What can I do to get your attention?’ I was like, ‘Um, just take your clothes off.’ And she stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security. I never felt more terrible.”

The actor insists he supports the will, and doesn’t need any money, reports FemaleFirst. O’Neal says he was at the actress’s side when she signed the will, and that they’d agreed upon the conditions. “Farrah’s and my relationship was based on a deep love and respect for one another and for our son Redmond. After discussing how her financial affairs would be handled in the event of her passing, we agreed that our son Redmond would be the primary beneficiary of her estate. These were Farrah’s wishes and I am perfectly happy with them,” confessed the actor. Farrah Fawcett, who lost her battle with cancer in June, left $4.5 million to her son. She also left smaller sums to Greg Lott (a longtime friend who had financial troubles), her nephew and her father.

michael_jacksonEvan Chandler, the father of Jordan Chandler, who accused Michael Jackson of molestation, shot himself in the head in his New Jersey apartment, according to the Daily News. Chandler, who was 65, was found with the gun still in his hand, according to Stan Eason, a Jersey City police spokesman. The suicide happened November 5th, but was just made public late yesterday. Chandler was reportedly seriously ill and was scheduled to see a hematologist. The doctor called police when his client didn’t show up for an appointment. In 1993, Chandler, a dentist, dosed his 13-year-old son Jordan with amytal sodium, a barbiturate known to cause false memory syndrome. Jordan received an out-of-court settlement for $15,332,250 from Jackson. Though the money provided the Chandlers with a life of luxury, all was not smooth sailing. In 2006, Jordan filed for a restraining order against Evan, claiming his father had attacked him with a dumbbell. Jordan, now 29, lives in Long Island under an assumed name and had not been in contact with his father for years.
