Shirtless shots of Robert Pattinson filming The Twilight Saga: New Moon in Italy have surfaced and to quote a top EW editor who first sent me a link: "Um, wow." If you haven’t read the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s series and intend to, stop reading now and just ogle the picture at left (if you are so inclined). Then click on our set gallery — which NOW features nine photos from Italy, including a couple steamy ones of Pattinson and Kristen Stewart kissing, in which she secures herself a Maxim cover (if she is so inclined) — and repeat.
We’re assuming these new paparazzi pics are from the scene in which Bella rushes to stop Edward — who believes she’s dead — from stepping into the sun and exposing his sparkling body to the masses so that the Volturi will be forced to kill him. The bad news: There’s no way my dream of this being the scene that Pattinson, Stewart, and Taylor Lautner unveil at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards is coming true. (Presumably those dots on Pattinson’s body are for the "diamond" effect that the post-production team will take its sweet time creating. Hint, hint. And UPDATE: We now know it’s the first trailer we’ll be seeing.) The good news: My faith in the wardrobe department, first established in the release of the Wolf Pack photo, remains steadfast. Pattinson’s hair looks under control (and somehow hotter than it did when they were shooting in Vancouver?). And I’m choosing to believe that no makeup artist was used in the development of those abs (but if there was, I do not even care).

Regardless whether they used a little airbrushing to enhance those muscles, he has still been significantly working out since Twilight… I’m not a teenage fangirl at all, but I’ll admit to a little swooning (okay maybe more than a little…) No harm in looking, right?
dayum!!!!!!!!!
He looks gorgeous but then he always does
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is absolutely my favourite actor. He;s perfect. A lovely man and very talented actor. I hoep he stars in Dune
Tweeted on the set today
Tall lanky ripped & vampire white. Yummy! Rob got embarresed when extras started cheering once take was done. It was endearing
Hyperventilating…
ahem….
Whoever said that Rob doesn’t have a good body…..
SO WRONG!!!!!
GO Rob, for looking better then ever every time i see you!
TEAM ROB
How adorable that the extras cheered Rob when he took his clothes off and when he kissed Kristen.
The kiss shot between Pattinson and Stewart is amazing.
can someone hand me a brown paper bag to breath into??
HOLY CRAP THAT IS HOT!
Pattinson has been working out at the gym a lot as even Lainey admitted with her spies watching him. He has to strip off in his next two films Remember Me – sex scene for example and Unbound Captives where he plays a Comanche Warrior so he needs to keep up the exercising for those roles.
Rob looks incredibly hot. But I’m more interested in the R/K flirting that was so obviously going on when the cameras weren’t rolling. Their chemistry is insane. Kristen Stewart is my idol if she’s tapping that after hours.
Dude’s got a serious case of skin cancer going on there.
The feedback from extras on the set said Pattinson looked incredible and they were right up close to him
Some twitter comments
Rob was shirtless for several takes. That boy has been working out. Made our knees weak. Everyone was doing their best to stay calm
Tall, lanky, ripped and vampire white. Yummy! Rob got embarresed when the extras started cheering once one take was done. It was endearing
In fact we cheered after every take of the shirtless scene. We cheered even louder after the take of kristen jumping his bones!!!
I did have a clear view and am still recovering from that lovely view. In fact I need a stiff drink
Rpattz looks so hawt! rated 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
for hawtness
OMG! Rob is so SEXY!!
The dots are for the sparkle effect – I hope that sparkle is good this time
Is it possible to melt into a puddle just by seeing that picture AND the amazing lip-locking of Rob and Kirsten as the Beautiful One and the Human? Yes, I think it is. *sigh* MTV Movie Awards, you will make my life complete if I can just hear Edward’s voice…
HOT,HOT,HOT,HOT,HOT,HOT
Wow those abs looks SO FAKE! LMAO yuck
I think he;s incredible but then he always is incredible. At Cannes he looked like James Bond
HAHAHAHA…
Rob’s DEFINITELY the sexiest on screen.
Taylor Who?
The dude needs some serious sun. And yes I know he’s playing a vampire…

Extras went nuts when Rob stripped so they kept having to redo the scene. Brilliant
Ain’t nothing wrong with that….
When Rob kissed Kristen the extras were ultra quiet and all staring at the two of them.
SOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTT, didn´t know Rob had a six pack, he looks great, can’t wait ´till the movie comes out and see how the put the scene together.
Rob is gorgeous!!!!!
What a body??????? Looking good…….Smilez but oh well too bad I will never get to meet him so sense in me getting all worked up
