Wenn.com is reporting that Robert Pattinson didn't enjoy wearing the colored contact lenses required by his part as Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight.
"Wearing coloured contact lenses... It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball."
Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times says that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are very upset that Catherine Hardwicke will not be the director of the next installment in the Twilight book-to-movies project.
The genesis of the actors' anger comes from a feeling the film studio -- Summit Entertainment -- is far too eager to rush out the second ''Twilight'' flick, without prepping for it properly, as Stewart and Pattinson believed Hardwicke would do.
Robert Pattinson has been named by Forbes magazine as number five on their list of "breakout stars" for 2008.
Once little known for his supporting role as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series, Pattinson is now drawing big crowds--and drooling ladies--of his own. In recent weeks, he's graced a slew of magazine covers and scored dozens of interviews for his starring role as Edward Cullen, the vampire in the silver screen's heavily hyped Twilight adaptation. Still more proof of his fan interest: The flick's opening weekend delivered a jaw-dropping $70 million at the U.S. box office.
Yahoo! has named Robert Pattinson the 2008 Movie Heartthrob of the Year, with Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) as runner-up.
Yes, Robert "bites" Tyra Banks.

Entertainment Weekly magazine's next cover features Robert Pattinson, our very own lovable Edward Cullen, with the headline, Twilight Explodes!
Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward Cullen in the blockbuster Twilight movie, is scheduled to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight. Stay up late and tune in...it's what a vampire would do...
The Chicago Sun-Times points out the obvious today. With the announcement that New Moon will be coming to theaters sometime in the future, and Eclipse likely right around the corner (they'll probably film those two at the same time), Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson should be expecting pretty big pay raises to go along with the new movies.
There's one rule in Hollywood that's rarely broken: Pull in big bucks at the box office and a sequel -- or three -- is virtually guaranteed. Of course the ''Twilight'' film's $70 million-plus bonanza this weekend was largely due to a built-in fan base -- thanks to the enormous success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels.
So, not only have deals been cut for a not-unexpected second ''Twilight'' film (based on Meyer's New Moon book), but I've learned a third film is also virtually a done deal, based on Meyer's Eclipse novel -- though that won't be confirmed for some time.
Also, sources say stars Robert Pattinson, 22, and Kristin Stewart, 18, will get huge salary boosts from the $2 million each earned for "Twilight" -- reportedly $10 million more, per film, plus a nice percentage of the future movies' box-office take.
Access Hollywood reports that Robert Pattinson has already signed on for two more movies and the New Moon movie script has already been written by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg.
