New Moon Begins, Ridiculous Robert Pattinson Rumors Continue

This is the weirdest, wildest, silliest Robert Pattinson rumor we’ve seen, and it comes just hours before his small, under-the-radar film “New Moon” has its world premiere in Los Angeles. But even though it’s completely ridiculous, it really made Gossip Cop laugh, and we thought you’d get a chuckle from it, too.

Pop quiz: What happens when you take the two biggest stories of the week and crash them into each other?

Robert Pattinson playing Levi Johnston!

[stunned silence]

[uncontrollable laughter]

No, really. As Sarah Palin‘s promotional tour for her memoir “Going Rogue” heats up (like with today’s hyped “Oprah” appearance), so too do rumors that Hollywood wants to turn the former Alaska governor’s life into a feature film.

That would presumably mean casting someone to play Johnston, erstwhile Bristol Palin baby daddy and current Playgirl attraction.

Who?

“Robert Pattinson’s name has been thrown into the mix,” writes Michael Essany for Examiner.

WHAT??!?!???

Um, who exactly is saying this?

“Some say [the film] could star Robert Pattinson as Levi Johnston,” continues Essany.

Ah. “Some.” Gotcha.

Then the writer actually says of this, um, surprising potential casting move, “Possible? Yes.”

No. Not possible. It’s made up. It’s fiction. It’s not happening. It’s never, ever, ever happening.

“With this rumor likely resulting from the hype surrounding this weekend’s release of ‘New Moon,’ there’s obviously a great effort underway to get Robert Pattinson’s name in any headline possible,” concludes the Examiner piece.

Gossip Cop doesn’t even know what to say beyond…

“Wow.”

    PMSL well Rob has said he has more respect for his name recently in an interview so maybe others should respect that too and jog on. I would have believed it more if they want him to be cast as obama. :)

    You know what, if Rob wants to reinact his Playgirl shoot, I wouldn’t be against it. ;)
