Are you ready for a Twilight-American Idol mash-up?

Simon Cowell wants to sign Robert Pattinson to a major record label deal, according to the U.K. Sun. If you believe the British tab, a bidding war has broken out and the cranky judge is so keen on scoring the sparkle vamp, he's reportedly all but written him a blank check.

As any Twihard knows, Pattz plays the piano and guitar and has even contributed tracks to the movie soundtracks.

But the hottie isn't budging.

"Robert is reluctant to be turned into a pop star—he takes his music very seriously," a source tells the Sun. "He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell, who is, of course, associated with X-Factor and pop."

Still, can you even contain your squeals?!
