Robert Pattinson Clears the Air: Literally

Rob sat down with Moviefone and debunked the lunatic rumors running around about him and body odor.

If you want another hilarious account of how out-of-hand this has all gotten Pattinson Anonymous (TY to G) has a step-by-step analysis.

We’ve been avoiding reporting on this crap despite the myriad of alerts in our inbox about it, because that’s what it is: crap on a slow news week.  We’re covering it now because Rob is actually talking about it.

Here’s our take. Literally hundreds of people visited the set last year and had their photo taken with Rob at various locations around Portland. In a fandom where people notice everything, not a single person reported Rob smelling bad.  Surely, if Edward Cullen had a bad case of body odor it would have been talked about widely last year. Heck, there would have been a revolt. People were ready to fry Rob over anything, any little excuse would have done it. If anything, people were talking about how good Rob smelled. The only odor we recall anyone talking about was one person who met him after he had a cigarette mentioned the lingering scent of cigarette smoke.
