Rob Pattinson: Hair Today, but Gone Tomorrow?

Heartthrob actor says he wants to chop off the locks that are making him famous

Say it ain't so!

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson says he wants to get rid of his signature hairstyle.

“I cannot wait to cut it off,” Pattinson said last night at the Starz afterparty for the Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala at the Beverly Hilton, where he received the New Hollywood Award.

Pattinson insists he doesn't understand the big fuss over his ‘do. "Nothing’s ever baffled me as much as this,” he said, adding, “I wanted to get a haircut today, but they wouldn’t let me. They were like, ‘You can’t ruin our marketing!’”

 

Meanwhile, Josh Brolin, who was named Actor of the Year, had no problem poking fun at a recent run-in with the law over an alleged bar brawl. "I am not drunk, and I will not kick anyone's ass tonight," he cracked.

He also took a moment to take a swipe at—who else?—President Bush, who he portrays in Oliver Stone's W.: "From this experience [of playing George W.], I've acquired some sort of mental deficiency."
