Robert Pattinson to Replace Johnny Depp in Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean!?!’

Okay ladies, now would be the time to grab your paper bags for the panic attacks you’re about to experience! Rumor has it that Johnny Depp could be on his way out of the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. The recent exit of Disney studio chief Dick Cook has left Depp so upset, according to MTV, that he no longer cares to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp is already signed up for the the next installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and the studio had planned to give the greenlight to a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, with the talk that Johnny might not be returning to the franchise, the studio is preparing to replace him if and when he decides to bow out of playing the character. This most likely wouldn’t happen until the 5th movie, so Disney is prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him for the 4th.

The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson. The rumored story for the 4th movie involves a pirate’s search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. The story makes room for a younger newcomer, a character who is said to help the pirates in their search for the mythic location.

While this could end up Orlando Bloom’s role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney just could use that character instead as a replacement for Jack Sparrow. Pattinson was once being considered for a role as Sparrow’s brother (read about Disney hunting Robert Pattinson by clicking here.) Could he step up and be Jack himself?

Robert Pattinson Nearly Nude PHOTOS

Some very interesting pictures of a nearly nude Robert Pattinson have surfaced over on Perez Hilton’s site.

The pics, which are from Sparklepants’ next film, “Little Ashes,” show our favorite head of hair tucking his man-bits away and dancing in front of a mirror. In the movie, Pattinson plays a young Salvador Dali who was known for being eccentric and for dabbling in a little homo-eroticism.

Though I am all for nude pics of Rob and hope more surface, these are a little too “Buffalo Bill” from “Silence of the Lambs” for my taste. However, kudos to Sparkles for having the guts to take on a role like this before all the “Twilight” sensation hit. I look forward to more of his gutsy choices that require him to take his clothes off.

Robert Pattinson in GQ – Photos Plus Out Takes

Robert Pattinson is here. Hide your daughters!” – at least that’s what the cover says. Back in December, Robert Pattinson sat down with Alex Pappademas to give an interview for “GQ” Magazine.

The article is full of non-important ramblings from Sparklepants, but hey – it IS Robert Pattinson afterall. He could read the listing in the phonebooks and the magazine would still be guaranteed to sell! He talks about how the place he’s staying at in L.A. has a microwave, and that he’s never had a microwave before, and that he spends a lot of time looking for new things you can microwave. Even mentioning what he’s tried microwaving — frozen cheeseburgers from the grocery store. And a carrot.

Then he moves on to something a little bit more exciting: “Twilight.” He talks about how he almost quit acting after being fired from a London play after his “Harry Potter” gig. Pattinson was in L.A., crashing on his agents couch looking for what he called an “American Job.” Thats when “Twilight” came calling. Although Sparklepants had no clue about the frenzy he was about to get himself into. His biggest fear at the time? Forgetting how to do an American accent. He freaked out – taking a Valium to calm his nerves before his audition with Catherine Hardwicke.

Per Men.Style.Com Via GQ:

“It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium,” he says after a second, perhaps realizing how this sounds. “A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired—I was passing out.”

Pattinson says he tries not to go out if he can avoid it. He stays home, watches movies, microwaves. Mostly he reads about himself on the internet. According to what he reads online, he’s a very different person than who he really is. A creature of the night, eager to sink his teeth into anything female with a pulse. All not true he says, but reads them anyways out of a kind of masochistic narcissism. He reads the gossip blogs and the “Twilight” fan fiction, which he says is surprisingly hardcore and very well written. He even knows what the fake Robert Pattinson said on the fake Robert Pattinson Facebook page, claiming to have “nailed” Kirsten Stewart, his co-star in the “Twilight” movie.

“There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me,” he says. “I never do anything… There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend,” he says. “There’s this one girl who’s consistently mentioned. It’s like, ‘He’s dating this Brazilian model.’… There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend… What’s her name—Annelyse. I’ve never met her.

“I mean—yeah,” he says. “I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers. I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.”

Sparklepants hasn’t shot anything new since “Twilight” wrapped. And he won’t, until he starts shooting the next movie in the “Twilight” franchise, “New Moon” which is due out in November. But in the meantime, he’ll show up as a young Salvador Dalí in movie called “Little Ashes“, and there are rumblings his movie “How To Be” will have a limited release in theaters soon. Pattinson is pretty sure the only reason “Little Ashes” is getting any kind of promotional push is that he’s in it.

“It’s nothing,” he says. “It would never have been released. I mean, that’s a terrible thing to say, but this was a movie where we didn’t even have stand-ins! We were scrambling, the entire time. We didn’t even have trailers.”

Pattinson hasn’t seen the finished version of “Little Ashes“, or any movie he’s been in since “Harry Potter,” including “Twilight.” He took his mother with him to the American premiere of the movie, squirming through the first ten minutes of it before bolting out the door to his car to have a full blown panic attack. He was ten minutes into the panic attack when he realized someone was filming him.

The issue is scheduled to go on sale on March 24, 2009. You can bet I’ll have my copy that day!
