Tyra Banks + 'Twilight' = Classy (Almost)

Nov 21, 2008, 11:33 AM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: Film, Inappropriate Crushes, Ridiculata, Television, Twilight

Tune in alert, folks: On the Nov. 28 episode of Tyra Banks' talk show, she gives away the Volvo that Robert Pattinson's Edward drives in Twilight to one of the fans turned away at his canceled, out-of-control autograph session in San Francisco earlier this month. The bad news: The girl had to win it in a pie-eating contest.

AP reports that Pattinson and his costar Taylor Lautner (Jacob) cheered on the three contestants during Thursday's taping of Tyra's Twilight hour: "I still can't believe they are making you guys do this," Pattinson reportedly said. "Oh, geez!" (Try to forget that he just used the phrase "Oh, geez!" and focus on the positive: he's apparently never seen The Tyra Banks Show before.) Two of the girls tied in the pie-eating contest, so Tyra determined the winner by having them guess Pattinson's and Lautner's combined weight (320 pounds). In my mind, that's when Pattinson made a mental note to call his Harry Potter buddy Daniel Radcliffe and ask him if he ever had to do this kinda crap. (In Tyra's defense, the victor, 18-year-old Tiffany Kuhne, told AP, "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life," so she's not exactly scarred.)

What piece of the Twilight pie would you want to take home (bodies precluded), and what would you be willing to do for that particular piece of movie memorabilia?

AnonGeek Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 08:47 PM EST

Oh, the humiliation! As much as I like Rob Pattinson, you couldn't pay me to watch ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with Tyra Banks! That poor guy! Love the comment about getting Radcliffe's number. Glad others see the absurdity of what Summit is putting this cast through. Banks is near the top of my list for candidates to be banished to the Island of Unwanted Celebrites. Geez, that list is getting longer and longer.

bobmanuel Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 12:45 AM EST

So did Tyra and Robert get it on or what? She had her claws izzout!

taylor lautner... he has the look, the smile, everything, but what I love the most is the fact that he isnt all into his fame. Most down to earth guy ever. I'll never meet him lol but if i could, id meeeeeeelt lol :)

payton Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 06:41 PM EST

I can't waiy until the next movie comes out

Sophie Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 05:17 PM EST

Haha that cast is the most down-to-earth cast I have ever
watched being interviewed (well the
main characters anyway!) I still
can't believe Kristen said she
wouldn't take the part unless Robert
played as Edward lol. Well I guess
if you're gonna be famous, might as
well do it with someone you know
will feel the same way you do about
it. lol (She is a total Bella!)
But episode was so funny!

THURMAN Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 08:37 PM EST

YOU ALL NEED TO GET LIVES. ROB PATTINSON WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DATE YOU LET ALONE THINK OF YOU. EVEN IF HE WAS SERIOUS MOOD ENHANCING DRUGS. HE DOESNT LOVE ANY OF YOU. ESPECIALLY YOU ERICA WESLER! MOVE ON WITH YOUR SAD DEPRESSING LIVES. NOW. HE HATES YOU.

Thurman Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 08:35 PM EST

YOU ALL NEED TO GET LIVES!
ROB PATTINSON WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GO OUT WITH YOU LET ALONE THINK OF YOU EVEN ON DRUGS! ESPECIALLY YOU ERICA WESLER. MOVE ON. HE HATES YOU!

erica wesler Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 04:26 PM EST

well.. if i'm allowed to choose
i'd like to take Rob Pattinson home with me.. and for that.. i'd do quite a bit. he's such an interesting person and the fact that he looks like a god helps as well

Karen Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 10:58 AM EST

ANYTHING!!! I would do anything for Taylor!! I flew from Miami to LA to watch SEE him and I stood in line 24 hours for his autograph! He is the coolest guy ever!!

Michelle A. Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 01:57 AM EST

I'd really like some one on one time with taylor lautner.. just to talk and get to know him.. I've heard he's like the nicest and the most down-to-earth guy ever.. I just love his personality and his laugh (it's really contagious by the way! hahaha)

Shalena Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 04:47 PM EST

ALL I WANT IS ROB'S RAY BAN'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I <3 RAY BAN'S & ROB!
SO IT'S A PERFECT COMPROMISE! :)

Eruanna Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 12:42 PM EST

I'd want the graduation caps; it's a funny inside joke.

Rebecca Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 08:46 PM EST

what i meant to end with was that it is refreshing to see a movie that does not revole around sex.

Rebecca Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 08:42 PM EST

TEAM Edward all the way!!!
i know its just a book but he is just about perfect!! I read the reviews of the the movie Twilight and i thought they were ridiculous!! One [articular newspaper kept trying to knock Edward down cause he was such a gentlemen. Basicly there article was unneccesary. They talked about how the only time it got hot was when Edward kisses Bella but then he throws himself against the wall and they thought that that was stupid. My feelings about that are that the whole purpose of the book is not to be sexual. People these days talk about how teens growing up too fast and everything is about sex and then you have a newspaer write a review like that for the movie not having a sexual scene, thats not what the books about. I'm glad she came out with a book like this it helps teens see that not eveything is about sex and its refreshing to be able to see a movie that is revolving around sex.

Team Edward

Jani Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 05:26 PM EST

I wouldn't really care for objects.

Taylor Lautner is ALL MINE.

WonderWoman Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 04:11 PM EST

I'd take his snazzy peacoat or wristband with the Cullen family crest on it (even if it meant having to do a pie eating contest...how embarassing with Robert & Taylor right there!!) :-O

Jennifer Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST

I would love to have the wristband that Edward wears, and Rob to deliver it personally. I would also love to cook for him, since all he eats is Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pockets (nasty!!!) and beer! He is so cute! Even though I am old enought to be his very young mother, he is still HOT!!! (I hope my husband doesn't mind, but since his most prized posession is a frisbee with Hooters' Girls autographs, he should be okay with me lusting after Rob Pattinson!)

morgan Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 04:35 AM EST

I would do anything for robert.

Elaine Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST

A cardboard cut out of Robert. I'll do anything for that.

Lola Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 11:36 PM EST

Just give me Rob, and I'll be satisfied.
Haha, just kidding. A volvo would be nice too. Or Edward's Ray Bans.

Jess Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 11:08 PM EST

I'd settle for the aston vanquish. its so damn fine. and I'd do ANYTHING to get rob to come with it. haha

HellsBells Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 04:24 PM EST

@Kelly in SD: that is the funniest typo I've ever seen :o

Sare Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

I would definitely eat a pie (or two) for Rob's Ray Bans. Yum.

Amanda Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST

Robert Pattinson was amazing as Edward Cullen he is so sexy lol
he is the best vampire ever and robert pattinson is a really sweet guy

krystal Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 02:13 PM EST

ha i mean robert. edward is old ha but he is perfect

krystal Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 02:13 PM EST

I would take some one on one time with robert, just to talk and see how he really is. He seems like an amazing guy from what is portrayed in interviews. I would leave my husband for him in a heartbeat ha as would my husband do to me if he had a chance with jessica alba or gwen stefani... at least edward was born the same year as me!!!

Twilightfiend Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 12:16 PM EST

I want those shades Rob wore when he and Kristen were walking into school :)

inlove Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

I would do ANYTHING to get that volvo.

Sarah Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 05:50 AM EST

Yea, they had a few of each car, or so it said in the movie guide. A Volvo is my dream car, not just because of Twilight, but since I was a little girl, so it is a tough call. I do love Robert, and I would love to meet him, and talk to him, and hear him play live. His voice is like liquid sex. But I could drive that car forever, verses chatting with him for a few minutes...both would be amazing so though...it's impossible to say..

jen Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 03:45 AM EST

Just give me Rob nothing else would do.

Lizzy Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 03:40 AM EST

I would want Robert's Ray Bans. Most definitely. Or maybe his cute little peacoat! But I would NOT be willing to scarf down a whole pie on national television. Or appear on the Tyra Banks show, for that matter. No prize is worth that..

Gina Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 03:17 AM EST

I would love to have that blue T-shirt that Robert has on when he dances with Kristen xD
I would eat pie even though I hate pies... I don't like the volvo car, because I live in sweden and I see them every day... The are not so pretty as you think they are, but porshe would be nice =)

loxfin Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 02:28 AM EST

The house, To own the house edward owns or the family... I have always dreamed of my own home before I die...

Malia Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 01:55 AM EST

I'd take a cotton swab to the inside of Robert's mouth and scratch off some DNA. You never know when that may come in handy down the road, with how technology is working these days!

Kelly in SD Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 01:55 AM EST

oops... my life not my "kife"

Kelly in SD Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 01:54 AM EST

I'm right there with you Nehrida! Kinda sad that I'm old enough to be his mother and have never in my kife had a star obsession. I suppose if I'm gonna fall, Rob's the ideal to obsess over. :)

Nehrida Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 01:41 AM EST

I think I would just want to have a regular conversation with Robert. Find out what he is really like. No cameras no microphones. Just a one-on-one talk.

ami Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:44 PM EST

i want the leather cuff edward wore, and i would do ANYTHING for it.

M.M. Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 09:51 PM EST

um... anything delivered by Robert Pattinson. Maybe the CD collection... or the jeep... that was an awesome jeep.

Victoria Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 08:11 PM EST

How About Edward/Robert himself or Something that edward had of worn
and i would pretty much do anything and everything

no one Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 12:13 AM EST

I dont think they gave away the ACTUAL car cause they have to use it in the next films. So they have to keep one or two.

tess Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 05:02 PM EST

I just watched the Tyra clip and in fact Tyra is Rob's fave show and he's too afraid to say his favorite episode.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYdzvoWoQ78

cabingurl Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

I totally agree with you Meg.
She like totally has the big "O" face going on in that pic.

meg Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

Ummm..the scariest thing is the picture of Robert biting Tyra that is on People right now and her facial expression in reaction.

Danielle Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

I really could care less what it is that I took home, as long as Robert Pattinson delivered it. Barring that, I'd settle for the Ferrari.

leeloo Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:00 PM EST

i'm not asking for much...maybe one of those honkin' Cullen Crest rings...or the Cullen house. ;)

Katherine Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 11:50 AM EST

The Aston? Ferrari? Porsche!
