If you have recently felt an impending sense of doom, it might be due to the Twilighters taking over the world. Indeed, Robert Pattinson has, as predicted, killed the competition by knocking Javier Bardem and twenty or so other gorgeous guys out of the Vanity Fair poll for Most Handsome Man In The World. This follows the more commonsensical naming of Angelina Jolie as Most Beautiful Woman. Sigh. Check out some of the more readable victory declarations on behalf of RPattz:

He may not be perfect, noone is, but he’s “perfectly” flawed and I think he possesses something that Federico Garcia Lorca, the spanish poet, when speaking about artists, described as “Duende.” It is “the inexplicable power of attraction, the ability, on rare occasions, to send waves of emotion through those watching and listening to them.” Only in Robert Pattinson’s case it is not on “rare” occasions but ALWAYS and not just through his art but through his just being………He is truly special…and has, sadly for me, stolen my heart…..

Uhhh, someone’s been giving this too much thought.

Hes [sic] Handsome, but hes [sic] one of the nice guys out there. Hes [sic] honest, which is rare in any man and funny. Plus, He [sic] he has hypnotic eyes…and great hair. I just wish people were nicer to him because hes [sic] shy too.

Aye, who could forget that glorious yet utterly disgusting mane of hair?

It;s because he plays Edward Cullen.
