Interview with the (hot) Vampire!

Last Monday, I had my "7 minutes in heaven" with the star of Twilight, Robert Pattinson. Now WAIT--it's not what you think (minds out of the gutter pluh-leeze), I'm a professional! I actually had a one-on-one interview with the 22-year-old British heart-throb for--get this--work! (Have I mentioned lately that I really like my job?) No pictures allowed at the interview (I'm sure you'll get a kick out to my Photoshop substitute), but I was able to ask a handful of media & family-related questions and I got to shake his hand, make small talk, and stare into his lovely eyes as he kindly answered my questions--so really, it wasn't too bad!

'How did this happen?' you might ask, and the answer is rather randomly. I'm a "guilty-pleasure" fan of the Twilight book series and had been bugging my publicist contact about the movie screening and other information, when one day---quite out of the blue--the publicist called ME and asked if Common Sense Media would like to attend a Q&A event with the star. I--of course--said an enthusiastic "YES!" and was so bold as to ask if we might video the event and even, talk a bit with the star, and before I knew it, we'd landed a 10 min 1-on-1 with Mr. Pattinson (some may remember him as "Cedric Diggory" in the Harry Potter movies) at the San Francisco Ritz a couple days later. The rest, as they say, is history--or at least a 2 1/2 min video ;) Check it out:
