Robert Pattinson Isn't the Cutest Guy on Set, Co-Star Justine Wachsberger Says

Justine tells OK! Magazine in an interview that she thinks Charlie Bewley is cuter than the Edward Cullen depicter.

Notwithstanding Robert Pattinson's worldwide fame, his "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" co-star Justine Wachsberger doesn't think he is the cutest guy on the film's set. In an interview with OK! Magazine, she says "The guy I find the cutest is not Rob. It would be Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri. He's part of the Volturi. He's just cute. He's this little British boy, who is in the same style as Rob, but I believe cuter."

Physical appearance aside, Justine in fact only has good words for the "Twilight" leading actor when it comes to his personality. "Rob is really nice. He really got into his character. Edward (Cullen) is part of him now, but he's really a gentleman, he's really sweet, he has great manners, he's funny, but he's shy," so she enthuses. "You would think that with the notoriety that he's gotten that he's pretty outgoing, but he's actually really shy but really nice and low-key."

Asked about Robert's on-screen lover Kristen Stewart, Justine raves, "She's cool. She's really cool. She's funny, down-to-earth. She talks a lot. She's not shy. She's awkward, like you would imagine her to be. That's how she portrays herself in the media, and I think she is like that, but in a good way. She's not an It Girl - I mean, she is an It Girl - but she's not one of those Hollywood types. She's really a cool girl."

Elaborating the word "awkward", the actress explains, "Not awkward, but when you see her, that's how she normally is. She's down-to-earth, she's not one of those girls who is trying so hard to fit in. She is who she is. She's saying 'you either like me for who I am, or you don't.' She doesn't fit into that Hollywood mold."

Telling all about what she has in mind regarding Robert and Kristen, Justine however doesn't give direct answer when asked if the rumored lovers really are dating. "They're definitely close," she muses. "They're really normal and down-to-earth. They don't think they're superstars or anything."

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Artist : The Script
Album : The Script
Title : The man who can't be moved

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"

Some people try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

* Cuase If one day you wake up and find your missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "son you can't stay here"
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

[Repeat *]

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe i'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
cuase you'll know it's just for you
Im the man who can't be moved

[Repeat * , *]

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Video: Oprah's Teary Announcement of Departure

Oprah recalled the first time she went on air from Chicago and said '25' is the right number to end the successful daytime show.

Oprah Winfrey brought it to her show on Friday, November 20 to announce that she is ending the two decades run of "The Oprah Winfrey Show". What started off as a firm statement became an emotional and personal outpour from Oprah who fought back tears.

"I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye," she said. "Twenty-five years feels right in my bones, and it feels right in my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time."

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" is arguably one of the most successful daytime talk shows in television history. Oprah has informed her intention to end the show in 2011 to her staff at Harpo Inc. but never publicly revealed her reason for putting it to an end. Winfrey said viewers may hear a lot of "speculation in the press" about why she is making this decision, but warned them not to believe the "conjecture."

Vowing to make the remaining 18 months worthwhile, Oprah said, "I just wanted to say whether you've been here with me from the beginning or you came on board last week, I want you all to know that my relationship with you is one that I hold very dear. Your trust in me, the sharing of your precious time every day with me has brought me the greatest joy I have ever known."

Harpo is doing new project(s) which they are not ready to announce yet. Oprah Winfrey, meanwhile, will be busy with her cable channel Oprah Winfrey Network which is slated to be launched in early 2011.
