What's behind the buzz with Robert Pattinson and co-star
Kristen Stewart
? When Rob took his hair down to a short crop (he was still quite hunky) many wondered why. Life & Style Weekly explores the reasons and cites and friend that says he needed a bit of a break from all of the heat and the tons of attention that is now surrounding his sudden rise to fame. "Robert's entire life changed after he took on the role of Edward," says an insider. "And he's not sure he likes what's happening to him."
Is Robert a reluctant leading man? The report claims that his buzz cut was an attempt to get away from prying eyes during a recent trip to London. "Robert wanted to go home incognito," reveals the insider. "He was hoping that by changing his appearance, he wouldn't be bothered."

Anonymity has escaped the actor since Twilight's box office topping
premiere in November. "Robert can't go out anymore without having people follow him," the insider says. It's a newfound reality that's also brought on a tidal wave of fresh friendships and romantic interest from women everywhere he goes.
Reports have claimed that Rob has eyes for his sexy young co-star Kristen but as she has a steady beau, the feelings are unreturned. So now what does Robert do? "Rob doesn't know what's real and what's not," the insider tells the celebrity
magazine. "He realizes the interest is only because he's suddenly famous."
