Vampires are the hottest new thing on the block, and Edward Cullen is top of the pack, so say hellomagazine.com readers.

The newest poll inquires as to which vampire is the sexiest on-screen, and while Twilight 's Robert Pattinson, a.k.a. Edward Cullen currently holds the lead, my plea to Twilight readers is to honor the poll with votes to squelch the others and plummet Robert over the edge, the efforts of which will truly define the loyalty of the Twilight fan.

David Boreanaz, portrayed Angel in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which aired from 1997 to 1999, then in his own spinoff of his characters name until 2004. David is poised to knock Robert Pattinson from his post at first.

Stephen Moyer, Bill of the sensuous, bloodied True Blood, holds a steady place, far behind, at third.

Rounding out last place is chum Wesley Snipes, who is possibly best known for his portrayal as the easily forgettable Blade.

Now that Robert Pattinson has wrapped up New Moon filming, he's moved on to a new set and a new leading lady, but not without an entourage and continued drama.

This past week, while filming Remember Me in New York City, Rob found himself still enveloped by a slew of Twilight fan girls. A group of mature women even had the gall to brute their way past crowds in order to manhandle Rob and catch a quick photo before being pulled off by bodyguards.

Thursday, Rob was clipped by a cab as he left NYC's Strand Bookstore after having filmed scenes all morning. Rob's bodyguard ensured his health and safety, and then screamed at the fans: "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"

Summit responded to spiraling allegations that Rob was hurt and hospitalized. "Rob Pattinson is fine, the reports are exaggerated and it was not caused by fans. Production continues," according to a Summit spokesperson.

What's next for Rob as he muddles through the next few months before Eclipse filming begins?

Twilight scored five Golden Popcorn awards at the US' MTV Movie Awards on Sunday evening thanks to the enthusiastic voting of Twilight Saga fans. 

Although it wasn't quite a clean sweep, the only misses of the evening were Best Song and Biggest Breakthrough Actor title - Taylor's loss, albeit to Rob. Technically a win-win situation depending on whether you were rooting to see either Team Edward or Team Jacob take the title.

Rob made a point of thanking his stunt double for helping secure the award for Best Fight Scene. Kristen pulled a "Bella" when she charmingly fumbled and dropped her Outstanding Actress award. And Rob and Kristen teased fans with a tentative, faux kiss upon accepting their award for Best Kiss.

Though host Andy Samburg provoked the audience with a clever New Moon spoof, the highlight of the evening was the debut of the official New Moon trailer. 

Hang on tight, fans. The ride is just beginning!

Let me ponder for a moment. What could I do with £12,800? Indulge in a lavish shopping spree? Use it as a down payment for that sleek black Mercedes I've had my eye on? Resurface my floors?

I've got it. A smooch on the cheek from my favorite new A-lister, Robert Pattinson.

Two lucky young lasses were the recipients of just such a treat. At the  Amfar benefit in Cannes Rob mingled with the likes of Bill Clinton, Paris Hilton, Sharon Stone, and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, then charmed guests by agreeing to auction off a smooch.

Attendees were stunned when two guests of the event agreed to pay the hefty price for their daughters to receive a kiss on the cheek from stubble-faced Rob. But it's all in the name of charity, right?

To be honest, as much as I adore him even I was shocked.

Not so shocking is the fact that Rob has climbed the ranks in the Most Attractive Man poll, from nearly last to the top of the pack thanks to dedicated Twilighters. After all a man who can garner a price tag like he did in Cannes deserves the top spot, don't you think?

There's a travesty brewing on the hellomagazine.com website.

Seems Kiefer Sutherland and Orlando Bloom are out ahead in the Most Attractive Man weekly poll while Robert Pattinson trails the pack alongside funnyman Jim Carrey. How can that be? Have the rest of his fans taken their eye off the ball?

Each week's winner is included in a monthly poll and the monthly winners get entered in a year-end Grand Finale.

Jim is currently at Cannes Film Festival promoting the remake of A Christmas Carol while Orlando and girlfriend Miranda Kerr have been spotted hanging out with Robert. Rob is on the French Riviera to promote his short film The Summer House, a flick he filmed before becoming the world's hottest vampire.

Most importantly, Rob is leaving behind a trail of alluring new pictures which are continually popping up on the net. It's refreshing to see him in mortal rather than vampire form, and a testament to the appreciation Twilight fans have for his unconventional good looks - even if that appreciation has not yet registered in the results of this weekly poll!

 Maybe I'm partial, but I'd cast my vote for Robert and his come hither glances any day.

In the wake of Robert Pattinson's 23^rd birthday and reprisal of his role as Edward Cullen in New Moon comes a wave of speculation among critics. Has Robert become typecast as a suave romantic lead?

The dreamy-eyed Brit's portrayal of Edward Cullen in teen flick Twilight has roused the libidos of women young and not quite so young around the world. The gasps heard every time he saunters into the cafeteria in his opening scene echo throughout the movie, culminating with his final, anguished kiss with Bella at the prom.

Not one to become caught up in the outpouring of screaming teens, Rob has aligned himself with a variety of roles - a true testament to his desire to submerge himself in the character at hand and not simply a money-making franchise.

He's just signed up to star alongside Aussie Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in Unbound Captives, a period western set in the 1850s. The independent film marks the directorial and screenwriting debut of Madeline Stowe, best known for The Last Of The Mohicans.

Between stints of filming New Moon and Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight saga, Rob will be occupied on another role - the lead in Remember Me, previously titled Memoirs. The drama mirrors his role as Edward Cullen in focusing on two lovers whose new-found relationship is threatened as they cope with a succession of complicated family tragedies that test their bond.

True Robert Pattinson fans will remember Rob's more awkward, conflicted roles such as the bumbling misfit Art in the recent indie flick How To Be. And there's his melodramatic, flamboyant Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, a role which tests both his acting chops and underscores his security in his sexuality. Though the film's 'conflict' threads were similar to those of Twilight, the steamy sex scene between Dali and Federico Lorca, portrayed by Javier Beltran, turned Rob into the antithesis of the confident, yet virginal Edward Cullen.

With three more Twilight films in the pipeline fans will have their cup filled with the bedroom eyes and tousled hair that define Robert. Beyond those I foresee a clutch of roles he's equipped well beyond his 23 years to tackle. Stay tuned.
