It's good to know the NYPD is totally on top what is surely the most important situation to hit this city in quite some time: Rob Pattinson mania. The Twilight star has caused the biggest stir since Beatlemania, and according to IrishCentral, the police here have declared, "Enough is enough. His security people aren't up to the task of keeping him safe, and they have no idea how to deal with the crowds this guy attracts." The unnamed cop goes on to say that dealing with Pattinson is like "amateur hour" for them (that's called a burn, vampire)—they say they "have celebrities a lot bigger than this guy who can come and go in perfect safety because we know how to take the right precautions. We have presidents and kings come and go. This poor kid can't get in or out of a car without things getting dangerous." But kings don't have what the cops call "Twiheads" following them around, who allegedly have confronted the actor and cut themselves so they can bleed for him. [via Gawker]

He must have some of that vampire blood in him, because Twilight heartthrob Rob Pattinson was barely bruised when he was hit by a cab earlier today. The actor was running away from his screaming legions of fans, Radar reports, when he got "clipped by a cab around noon in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street." He's in town shooting scenes for his new movie, Remember Me, and as he departed the shop in the pouring rain he was rushed across the street to his trailer. Reportedly the cab only grazed him, and the site reports that the impact was to the hip. "He stood there for a moment looking stunned" (sounds familiar), and once his bodyguard confirmed he was alright, he screamed at the fans: "You see what you did, you almost killed him!" Now the 23-year old just needs to survive 4 more weeks of shooting on the mean streets of New York.
