Updated! GossipCop Robert Pattinson poses with an alligator on the April 2011 cover of Vanity Fair, Gossip Cop is told.
Legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz shot pics of the superstar for the mag’s cover story, which is tied to the release of Pattinson’s upcoming film Water for Elephants.
As for the four-foot reptile, Pattinson’s alligator pal is a nod to the Louisiana set of Breaking Dawn.

In the profile, sources tell Gossip Cop, Pattinson does not discuss his relationship with Kristen Stewart.
Mostly, we hear that Pattinson comes across as a genuinely good guy and reluctant star.
Vanity Fair will be on newsstands on March 3

Rob will be on the April Issue of Vanity Fair - Out this March 3rd,
This rumored photoshoot was posted early this month.

Andrea Mineo got the scoop from the Vanity Fair writer that interviewed him.

More tweets from Andrea Mineo about the interview
"VanityFair writer who intvu'd RPatz told me RP drove cross country w/ friends to film WaterForE he wanted to avoid getting mobbed @ airport."

"She says RPatz is extremely intelligent read 20 books while filming the movie and likes choc covered pretzels and pretzel M and M's."
"She also told me that RPatz is bewildered by fan admiration - he's not sure if it's for him or Edward."
"I interviewed Rob myself a few yrs ago. He is so lovely and genuine truly."
"It's on stands March 3rd he is on the cover wearing a hat!"
"yes it is on stands Mar 3 but it's the April issue of VF."

Some info 
Yes, def something amiss in that 'cross country' statement. First, when Rob filmed in Chickamauga in  GA and TN border, another location for WFE aside from California, he definitely flew to get there. There were photos of him arriving in Nashville July 29th. - which means he didn't drove with friends. lol

Rob wrapped his scenes for WFE on August 3rd and left Nashville via BNA airport August 4, 2010.
The Britpack's road trip started September 5, when he was first spotted in New Mexico until the last sighting of him in Louisiana with Kristen around September 11th. Then he popped up in London September 18th to watch Marcus Foster's show in London while Kristen continued filming for 'On The Road'. This only means he was done with WFE before the 'great hobo road trip'.

Come on guys, give Rob a break, this may all be a second-hand misquote for all we know...

Dreaming of Edward had an exclusive interview with Sam Bradley  recently in Nashville, and Rob and the 'BritPack' road trip was mentioned along the way.  Here are the audio clips.



Sam was asked about 'Never Think'- 'Too Far Gone'. He talked about their tight friendship.

Thanks robkris13 for the heads up.

I love the way Sam was trying to be vague about the 'road trip' in his answer. Aww, I just love the way the Britpack are all protective of each other, especially Rob. Don't forget to check out Sam Bradley's album Zuni via his website  www.sambradley.com

The actor who plays vampire Edward Cullen posed for pictures with some Crickets staff and adoring fans, while others crowded the streets hoping to just catch a glimpse.

Actor Robert Pattinson made a pit stop at Cricket's Bar and Grill in Lubbock, just off the Texas Tech Campus Monday night. While the waitstaff expected a slow night due to the Labor Day holiday, they quickly learned it would turn into a frenzy.

Brittni Vivion, a waitress at Crickets said Pattinson went unnoticed for almost four hours before the realization set in.

"He came in around 5 o'clock at our happy hour shift. Nobody really noticed that it was Robert Pattinson until about 9 o'clock and finally a couple of bartenders and waitstaff asked him and then he kind of denied it at first and then eventually he fessed up and said that it was him. And so the word got out and about 20 minutes later we had a rush of girls come in. They were just flaunting themselves over him. We finally had to shut the bar down and not let anybody else in cause it was just crazy, said Vivion."

Pattinson left the bar at closing time through a back exit. Bystander Marissa Mason described the scence as a chaotic.

There is no official word on why Pattinson was in Lubbock. But theories on various gossip sites indicate he may have made the stop on his way to New Orleans where his Twilight co-star and real life love interest Kristen Stewart is shooting a movie.

"There was just a large crowd of girls just screaming and standing around hovering around the windows and doors and their were cameras out, everyone had their cameras out trying to take pictures of everything inside. There were several police out and just directing traffic, making sure people didn't stop, a lot of people were trying to stop and see what was going on."

Rob Pattinson was spotted in Lubbock, Texas at Cricket's Sports Bar on Broadway on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010. No one knows why he was here but he was with like 2 other guys. People were posting the news all over Facebook and the bouncers quit letting people in because over 200 girls showed up..

..and were waiting outside the front door. He sang karoke and waved at the girls in the window occasionally. I went to the back door because I figured that would most likely be his way of getting out. At about 1:30 AM a white truck driven by a..

..police officer followed by two other cop cars pulled up to the back door and Robert and his two friends walked out and got in the car. The police blocked off the streets so it was impossible to follow him.source
