We brought you news of our collaboration with Thinking of Rob this weekend and their Fans Fight Back Initiative after the disgusting paparazzi treatment of Rob this past Friday. As of today, we are happy to announce that ToR and their staff have collected almost 1,000 photos from fans and almost 100 sites in support.
We are proud to be part of this initiative and stand by it 100%. Please visit Thinking of Rob to see the post and watch the video below which contains about 600 of the photos.
Our partners Thinking of Rob began an initiative this morning due to the release of heavily invasive paparazzi photographs taken of Robert Pattinson at Marcus Foster’s show last night. Fans were urged to take photos blocking their faces in protest of the paparazzi treatment.
Kimberly Sherman, the Twilight Parents Examiner, wrote a great article listing everyone making an effort to maintain and give back Rob some of his privacy.
As validated by the dozens of reader comments, the crazed fan scene on the set of Remember Me sparked outrage among Twilight fans and Twilight fan sites alike.
Several sites have since started up campaigns designed to honor and respect actors as they work their craft.
The lovely ladies at The Twilight Lexicon have posted a short little take on Jed’s tMF article concerning our Project F.L.A.N.S.
The Movie Fanatic has an in depth piece surrounding the media circus that seems to cover Robert Pattinson wherever he goes. They interviewed the crew over at Pattinson online(shout out to admin Joyce who we met in Atlanta), a fan group that has been following Rob for over three years.
My lovely friend and fantastic writer, Jed Medina from the Movie Fanatic, has written an excellent article about Rob, Pattinson Online, and our new Project F.L.A.N.S. Jed has a lot to say regarding gossip mongers and bloggers and how we’re handling Perez Hilton (#unfollowperezhilton !!!). This is the first of two excellent articles written by Jed, the second will be featured on the F.L.A.N.S page, so stay tuned!
Again? Blimey! tMF wants another hit post right? Sure… and why not may I ask? But how come you choose Rob once more and not the other 4 guys you put ahead of our poor, poor Edward in your Top 50 Hitlist?
I’ll have the answer to that later. Actually, I’m just trying to make you curious. I’m not the only one who’ll talk about Rob. You see, Pattinson Online has launched a campaign that every Rob fans need to know… But that’s just one of the topics I’m going to blog about here.
By popular request, we’ve now got Project F.L.A.N.S. merchandise so you can wear your support! Thanks to everyone who emailed (and thanks to racheypachey19 for the “I’m with the F.L.A.N.S.” idea)! You can see all the new merchandise here at our cafepress store.
All proceeds go directly back into the project and the running of the site – not a penny will go into our pockets!
Over the past few months (and even years), we here at Pattinson Online have gotten more and more frustrated with the lack of respect shown to Rob by the media and even by people who call themselves fans. In an attempt to raise awareness, we are adding our (already loud) voices to those who are taking a stand and making a difference. We are proud to introduce our newest project, Project F.L.A.N.S.
We hope that you, as dedicated fans of Robert Pattinson, will support the project (and Rob) by getting involved and spreading the word!
You are, of course, always welcome to email us with questions, comments, or suggestions!
Summit has announced that the New Moon Myspace page is now live! You can alternate from the Twilight page to the New Moon page. You can check it out here.
Summit has announced that it has a New Moon Myspace that will be launched very soon! They report:
“It goes live shortly, and we are very excited about it! It only hosts the trailer right now but it will have a lot more as the release date of the movie gets closer. One cool little feature are the tabs at the top that let you switch between the Twilight and New Moon pages.”
