Simon Cowell has reportedly offered Robert Pattinson a record contract. Pattinson, who contributed two songs to the “Twilight” soundtracks and not only sings but plays the piano and guitar, is said to take his music “very seriously”. After rumors that Cowell was looking to sign him with a ‘blank check,’ other record companies have now sparked interest and a bidding war for Sparklepants as begun.

Per Ok:

A source told The Sun: “Robert is reluctant to be turned into a pop star – and takes his music very seriously. He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with X Factor and pop.”

The rumors also say that the deal would even allow Pattinson to write his own songs – Which he already does fantastically, by the way. Earlier in March 2009, he revealed his desire to release an indie album, saying he is not afraid if the record fails because he “got nothing to lose.” In an earlier said in an interview that he does not want his movie image to affect his singing career and does not want to be known as a pop star. Recently, Pattinson mentioned how he misses playing, but is finding it hard to continue without masses of Twi-hards tracking him down.

He said: “I really miss it [music]. I’m afraid of being overshadowed by [Twilight] a bit. That’s why I haven’t done any gigs or released anything for ages. I think it makes you set your standards higher because you need to overshadow this massive thing. It’s tough.”

As long as he stays true to himself, I don’t see him being turned into another ‘pop-star.’ He could put out an album that consists of nothing but static with a few grunts thrown in here and there and still go platinum. You can check out more of Robert Pattinson singing by clicking HERE.
