I admit it: I'm a sucker for RPats too so When he made a stop here in Lubbock, TX, I, myself was a little star struck at the mere mention that he made a visit to our small town in West Texas. And although I am a shameless fan, and this is not his best cover shot, I still had to run out and buy it due to the fact that Water For Elephants is quickly coming to a theater near you! If you have not read the book, you better get on it, It's fabulous and nothing at all like Twilight, which is a good thing for Mr. Pattinson. And so I only thought it appropriate that I post a blurb our little town's mention in this month's Vanity Fair. Enjoy.
They stopped in a bar in Lubbock, Texas, where, for the first time in as long as Pattinson can remember, he sat and had a beer, undisturbed by paparazzi or fans. “No one recognized me or anything,” he says. “And I was like, Ah, this is really cool, sitting there eating chicken wings and stuff.” He’d been searching for a place where he could feel what it’s like to just be himself, and thought he had finally found it.
But then something happened. Word got out. “They always find out somehow,” he says resignedly. Suddenly there were a thousand people in the street, and the police had to come and control the crowd. A bouncer asked him, “You want us to go and knock someone out?,” and Pattinson says, “I was like, ‘What are you talking about? You don’t need to hit anybody.’ ” Now he and his friends were trapped in the same bar that had been an oasis of anonymity. A police escort had to take them back to their hotel.
