Hey, kids: We've got the goods on Robert Pattinson

OK, I get it. I’m old. But can someone please tell who Robert Pattinson is? And why would anyone stand in line outside in the cold all night to see him?

Turns out Pattinson is the latest ‘tween heartthrob. He played Cedric in the “Harry Potter” flicks. He is going to star in the much-anticipated new movie “Twilight,” which opens Nov. 21.

Pattinson will play Edward Cullen, who happens to be a vampire.

The movie stems from the best-selling series of “Twilight” books from author Stephenie Meyer. They’ve only sold something like 17 million copies.

“Twilight” is the latest teen phenomenon. Yes, Cullen is a vampire. But he also goes to school, plays sports and drives cool cars.

Now back to the mall. Young girls started lining up last night to the chance to see the man of their dreams. There were 500 of them in line when police finally cut off the line. And Pattinson isn’t even going to get to the Hot Topic store at the King of Prussia Plaza until 6 p.m.

This morning the store will be selling “Twilight” T-shirts for $30 a pop. When you buy a T-shirt, you get a wristband, which will allow you to meet the star of the movie.

But if you were unable either to get in line at midnight or can’t afford to spend $30 for a T-shirt, never fear, kids. Your local newspaper is coming to the rescue.

You can get your very own Pattinson keepsake in your Delaware County Sunday Times this weekend.

A special full-page color print poster of Pattinson and a special preview of the much-anticipated flick will be featured in this Sunday’s edition of USA Weekend magazine, which will be included in our Sunday newspaper.

You’ll also get an exclusive interview with the author of the vampire saga and movie, Stephenie Meyer. The movie opens Nov. 21. The book about the dashing teen vampire has sold nearly 17 million copies.
