Robert Pattinson steps out of the Twilight

Shocking both die-hard fanatics and cast mates alike, Brit hunk Robert Pattinson has dropped out of his Cullenary duties in New Moon and the rest of the Twilight Saga. Citing creative differences with notably outspoken director Chris Weitz, alongside consistent quarrels with fellow Twilighters on set, Pattinson has exited the series in a lurid rage.

Descending down the mountain and out of the cloudbank, Pattinson has left one of the most financially promising cinematic series without a star and a litter of lambs without a sick, masochistic lion to look after them. With a budget of well over $50 million, Summit Entertainment and New Moon overseer Chris Weitz are scrambling to replace the buzz worthy star.
