Move over, Kristen Stewart!

Robert Pattinson may have the hots for another Hollywood leading lady...

OK, Ms. Stewart probably has nothing to worry about, but it turns out Mr. Pattinson is quite fond of...Betty White! He's quoted on the back cover of the Hot in Cleveland star's new book, If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't).

"Betty White is one of the sexiest women in America," the Pattinson blurb reads.

White doesn't mind the support, but admitted at last night's TimesTalk event in New York City that she doesn't know much about that "vampire," according to Entertainment Weekly.

She also cracked about Pattinson's affection, "Maybe he should see a therapist."

Hey, if it were up to us we would be seeing White in Breaking Dawn. Twi-hards will remember that we asked Rob at the Eclipse premiere if thought the omnipresent Ms. White should be in the last of the Twilight flicks. "Definitely," he said. "She can be the baby."

Maybe he was kidding, but isn't it time for White and Pattinson to work together already?  We're sure Kristen wouldn't mind one bit.
