New/old pictures of Rob and Kristen at the New Moon fan event in Madrid – November 12th 2009
NEW picture from the Vanity Fair photoshoot + Robert Pattinson Sings the Blues
Sing us a song, piano man—let’s start with “Happy Birthday.” New Orleans’s Preservation Hall—where Annie Leibovitz shot young Robert Pattinson, shown tickling the ol’ 88 with the world-famous Preservation Hall band—celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Situated in the French Quarter, the music venue is one of the country’s most hallowed: it was founded in 1961 for the purpose of preserving New Orleans–style jazz, and indigenous American music. On his first-ever visit to the Quarter, Pattinson jammed with the house band and thoroughly held his own—his celebrity perhaps subsumed by that of the musicians, whose legendary status awed everyone on set. “When we first started, none of us knew that Robert really does play piano,” says Ben Jaffe, the tuba player (center, above), the band’s director, and the son of the venue’s founders. “But when he got up there, he started ticking out these notes, and it was obvious he wasn’t just tinkling—he really knew how to play.” Though the musicians were expecting the actor to just pose, Pattinson gamely jammed along with their tunes. After finishing a song, he leaned over to Jaffe “and said, ‘That’s the first time I’ve played with a group of guys like that,’” Jaffe recalls. Not a shabby gig—especially with Jaffe’s homemade red beans and rice waiting as reward.
On the landmark birthday, Jaffe says he and the rest of the band are humbled: “It’s really momentous for us to reach this moment in our history, considering everything New Orleans has been through in the last five years,” he says. “It’s really a testament to the strength of the people of this city.” Preservation Hall endured a several-month hiatus post-Katrina and reopened in May 2006, structure miraculously intact. We say miraculously, because the hall’s charm is that it looks as though it might collapse at any moment—it’s one big happy jalopy of a 350-year-old structure, with all the glorious paint-peel-y, rusty-hinged patina of a Clementine Hunter painting. It strains at the seams with ambiance. And we hope, lack of air conditioning and all, that it never changes.
Video of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart out in Vancouver – March 5th
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart jetted off to Spain – well, a little piece of Spain amid the wintry gloom of Vancouver – for date night on Saturday.
The couple, who are filming the Twilight movie Breaking Dawn in town, were spotted enjoying a late dinner at one of Pattinson’s favorite small restaurants, the Spanish tapas bar La Bodega, downtown on Howe Street.
The pair, who were joined by costar Kellan Lutz, as well as Stewart’s bodyguard and his date and three other friends, sat at a large table in the loft of the restaurant, tucked away in a corner.
After sharing a number of plates of tapas, they left around midnight and strolled back to their hotel about three blocks away – with Pattinson and Stewart splitting off into one small group, and Lutz in another.
Pattinson and Stewart were both decked out almost all in black, clearly trying to keep a low profile – but were in high spirits and being warmly affectionate with one another, swinging their hands back and forth and laughing.
Filming is expected to continue in Vancouver until mid-April.
