According to the facts-challenged Star magazine, “Hunky vampire Robert Pattinson wants to star in a remake of the sci-fi flick Dune – but only if he isn’t costumed in a goofy diaper, the way his fellow Brit Sting was in the 1984 original!”

One of Star‘s unnamed/unreliable sources explains, “Sting wore some odd loincloth, and Rob just doesn’t want to go there… He also doesn’t want to look like a robot or an alien.”

Oh wait, there’s one more thing Pattinson doesn’t want to do — the film “Dune.” A source close to Pattinson told GossipCop some time ago that the star is not interested in remaking the sci-fi film.

Last week we counted down Gossip Cop‘s 20 Top “Twilight” Rumors, many of which involved a young man named Robert Pattinson. We had a great time recalling Pattinson’s alleged “steroids use” (ha!), his near stint in “rehab” (HA!), and his potential role of a lifetime – as Bristol Palin baby daddy Levi Johnston (gasping…for…air…).

But that wasn’t enough. So as Pattinson winds down press for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and as Thanksgiving approaches, Gossip Cop presents ten MORE turkeys – wrong Robert Pattinson rumors the gossip biz desperately wanted you to buy. Enjoy.

10. The “Remember Me” Ending Changed

Here’s a spoiler alert: No, it didn’t. But it had been fifteen minutes since the last alarmist rumor and sites were getting antsy.

9. Trying to Win Back Camilla Belle with Flowers

More a case of “unfounded speculation” than unrequited love.

8. Throwing Darts at Himself in Misery

When Star shows up, it definitely feels like target practice around here.

7. Kirsten Dunst’s “Barrage of Flirty Texts”

This one didn’t even bother flirting with the facts.

6. Teaming Up with Nicole Kidman

Everyone insisted she was playing opposite in “Bel Ami.” Everyone was wrong.

5. Casting Curiosities on Earth and in Space

While studios would love him to be in every single movie ever… it’s probably not happening.

4. “Threatened” by Taylor Lautner and Kellan Lutz

If there’s one thing we know about Robert Pattinson, it’s that he… craves the spotlight? (Um…)

3. DVD Exploits Actor and His Fans in One Fell Swoop

What could be sketchier than lifting material from fans to sell unauthorized footage?…

2. $500 Million TV Deal for Edward Cullen

Oh, yeah. Wrongly promising that Pattinson’s bringing “Twilight” to television.

1. Engagement to Mystery Woman!

Gossip Cop checks the mailbox every day for a wedding invitation. Our letter carrier is concerned.
