Okay so I come across this article today in Digital Spy by Alex Fletcher, their “Senior” Entertainment Reporter.  Now clearly Alex must be male (and if he isn’t, then my only explanation is that “she” has been living under a rock for quite some time).  My reasoning for this is that, Alex claims to expose “10 Things You Never Knew About Robert Pattinson”.  Seriously, Alex needs to surf the internet a little more if making claims like that.  I am intrigued and begin reading the article with interest.  Surely enough, I’m shocked by no. 1:

“Robert was born on May 13, 1986. His mum Clare was a modelling agency worker, while his dad Richard imported vintage cars from America.”

How did Alex find out this piece of personal information – it must have been leaked by one of Rob’s relatives!  People have no shame. 

The list continues to reveal more and more information that we (raises eyebrow) couldn’t possibly know about Rob - no. 8 for example:

“As well as being a successful actor, singer and model, Pattinson can also count being a trained scuba diver on his extensive list of talents. He learnt the skill for his role as Cedric Diggory in Hary Potter And The Goblet Fire.”

This Alex is a regular Sherlock Holmes.  Rob I’m laughing with you too – this article better be tongue in cheek (which I doubt), but in case you need to educate yourself about Rob (which I also doubt) or want to test your knowledge, please click here.
