Be Careful with that beautiful face, Rob...

what's more dangerous than vampires and werewolves while filming New Moon?  

Flying metal signs for one...

The National Ledger online reports:

. . . "During filming of his upcoming flick, “The Twilight Saga:  New Moon” in Vancouver, Pattinson had just started shooting a scene when a rogue gust of violent wind tore a heavy metal sign from a post.  It shot across the location so fast no one even managed to shout a warning at Pattinson, who was just opening his mouth to emote when...WHAM!...the unguided missile smashed into the back of his head."

Walker writes that Rob dropped and "then lay deadly still as cast and crew ran to help, sending out a radio call for an ambulance.  Finally, Pattinson - looking like he’d had the blood sucked from him - began moving feebly, disoriented, but able to speak.  The crew put ice packs on a knot sized lump, and by the time medics arrived, the star was coherent and insisting he was fine.  Taking no chances, the director canceled filming.  Pattinson was ordered back to his hotel, but returned the next day - sporting a lump."

True? False?

This report has come back FALSE!  Popstar checks the facts and proves the story nothing more than a rumor.  

Pattinson Not Injured

Yesterday, upsetting news that Robert Pattinson injured himself sent shock waves through theTwilight community.  Thankfully, those were just rumors and Rob is just fine.  It was being reported that the New Moon star was hit in the head with a metal object that halted production yesterday.  Rob's rep is speaking out about the incident and clearing up any lingering rumors.

It was reported by a columnist that Pattinson was struck in his head by a metal object that left the hunky star injured.  "It shot across the location so fast no one even managed to shout a warning at Pattinson, who was just opening his mouth to emote when - WHAM! - the unguided missile smashed into the back of his head," said the columnist.  As we said before, this is just another nastyNew Moon rumor and the incident never even took place!

A rep for Robert Pattinson said, "This story is completely false.  Robert has not been injured in any way and no version of the story ever occurred."   We are happy to hear that these were just rumors but we wonder how this crazy babbles of lies surface each day.  Here these people are trying to work on putting together the best movie possible but are constantly surrounded by crazy distortions of truth.  New Moon is full of action and the set at times is probably dangerous so we wish everyone a safe filming experience!
