Robert Downey Jr. accidentally knocked Scarlett Johansson over while wearing his ‘Iron Man’ costume

The actor was wearing his heavy superhero suit while he was waiting to film scenes with his glamorous co-star in their new movie ‘The Avengers’ and was fiddling with the high-tech gadgets attached to his outfit.

However, he suddenly hit the ‘wrong’ button which controls one of the arms and hit Scarlett – who plays Black Widow in the movie – in the face.

A source said: “Robert triggered a switch that controls one of his arms – and it suddenly jerked backward and whacked poor Scarlett. Knocked silly, she staggered backward, then lost her balance and fell off the low platform they were standing on.”

Stunned crew rushed to help Scarlett get to her feet and luckily so was unharmed and saw the funny side.

The source added to National Enquirer magazine: “Robert, who couldn’t help because he literally can’t move in that iron suit, was beside himself – he kept apologising and saying, Oh, my God, I’m so sorry!’ But Scarlett was a good sport and smiled about the incident.”

Robert Downey Jr’s wife Susan Levin is pregnant

The couple – who have been married for six years – are set to welcome the new addition to their family in February, 37-year-old Susan’s aunt has revealed.

Nancy Miller told America’s Star magazine: “I think it’s wonderful that she’s pregnant.

“The baby is due in February. Susan’s father, my brother, called me about three weeks ago with the good news. Her parents are over the moon about it.

“It [doesn’t] really matter if it’s a boy or a girl. What really matters is that the baby is healthy.”

While the baby will be film producer Susan’s first, Robert, 46, already has an 18-year-old son Indio from his first marriage to actress-and-singer Deborah Falconer.

Robert – who has battled drug addiction in the past – has previously credited Susan with providing him with a more stable relationship than he had with first wife although he admitted he is constantly surprised by how much work it takes to make a marriage successful.

He said: “Susan is cut from a slightly different cloth from Deb and I, and she’s provided a great new framework for lots of things.

“Susan doesn’t care if this building fell down and we never did another movie again so long as we were happy and loving and together, but so long as it hasn’t, she’s operating on the fact there’s a lot of s**t to get done.

“She is a master at it – I wouldn’t be surprised if she built the pyramids.

“Do we have to work at the relationship? More than I thought. And usually more than I would care to.

“But ultimately, it’s nice to have pure communication with, for me, a woman. Historically this is not something that, for me, was not really achievable.”

Gwyneth Paltrow emailed Robert Downey Jr. to get advice on how to play an addict

The 38-year-old actress – who plays alcoholic singer Kelly Canter in new movie ‘Country Strong’ – sought the advice of the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ star, who battled addictions to drink and drugs for many years, to get into the mindset of her character.

When asked how she got into the head of her alter-ego, she explained: “I actually emailed Robert Downey Jr., who has been sober for a long time, and asked him to explain addiction to me and he wrote me the most amazing email and it really helped me understand it.”

Despite never experimenting with drugs herself, Gwyneth – who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – enjoys an alcoholic tipple every now and again.

She said: “Yeah, I do drink. I really enjoy red wine the most. But I like going to British pubs and having the odd pint of Guinness, too.

“But other than that I drink white wine and rose. And on a night out a good vodka Martini is always a good choice. So, yes, I do have a
drink!”

Robert Downey Jr. & Mel Gibson: Double-Double Date

Robert Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson got together for a friendly celebrity power lunch yesterday, but it didn’t go down at one of those super-expensive Hollywood joints — they got burgers at In-N-Out … TMZ has learned.

The old friends found themselves out in Irvine, CA when the hunger pangs hit — so they went to every West Coasters favorite fast food spot.

According to a witness, they each ordered a Double-Double combo meal and dined with a third person, non-celebrity. They were joined by a security guard, who did the ordering for them.

BTW — We know the pic is blurry, but we’ve confirmed with our Mel sources … it’s definitely them.

No word on why the two were in Irvine together, but we’re told it definitely wasn’t for a movie.

Taylor Lautner has beaten his ‘Twilight’ co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in 2010’s Hollywood Top 40 Earners List

Compiled by Vanity Fair magazine, the rankings revealed the 18-year-old actor raked in an estimated $33.5 million for his various movie appearances throughout 2010, making him the ninth-highest earner in Hollywood.

As well as pushing last year’s number nine Robert Downey Jr. into tenth place, Taylor beat both Kristen and Robert – who received $28.5 million and $27.5 million for their respective film roles over the past 12 months – who landed in 13th and 14th places.

Vanity Fair’s contributing editor Peter Newcomb explained: “He’s perhaps the highest-paid teenage star right now. When they first negotiated their contracts, they were getting paid a lot less.

“Then, with the immense success of the film, the agents went back and renegotiated the deal – Lautner’s deal in particular was really bumped up.”

With ‘Avatar‘ director and producer James Cameron securing the top spot in the rankings with an estimated yearly earning of $257 million, Johnny Depp – who raked in $100 million in 2010 – was listed as the highest-earning actor, taking home $40 million for his role as the Mad Hatter in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ alone.

However, despite being pipped to the post by her ‘Twilight’ co-star, Kristen Stewart’s estimated $28.5 million earnings made her the highest-ranking female star in 2010.

Vanity Fair Magazine’s Hollywood Top 20 Earners 2010

1. James Cameron – $257 million

2. Johnny Depp – $100 million

3. Steven Speilberg – $80 million

Robert Downey Jr. employs a “crystal man” to repel negative forces around him

The 45-year-old actor – who battled drug addiction for several years and was even jailed because of his habit – thinks having someone on the set of ‘Sherlock Holmes 2‘ to carry special crystals help “repent his soul” for the damage he did to his body when he was hooked on heroin ,cocaine and crystal meth.

A source told BANG Showbiz: “This guy dressed all in white has been following Robert around with a briefcase ever since filming began. After a couple of weeks, one of the crew members thought it was a bit weird and asked him what he was doing.

“He explained the briefcase contained a set of crystals which apparently channel good energy from a pyramid in Los Angeles. Robert demands they go everywhere with him to help repent his soul for all the damage he did to his body when he was on drugs.”

Downey was jailed for three years in 1999 for heroin, cocaine and possession of a handgun. The actor – who stars opposite Jude Law and Rachel McAdams in ‘Sherlock Holmes’ – told the judge who sentenced him that he had been addicted to drugs since the age of eight.

The ‘Iron Man‘ star – who has been sober since 2001 – has previously insisted he wasn’t changed by prison. He said: “I do think there’s something divine about large-scale humiliation, but no, it never worked for me. It never produced enough of a blow back for me to catch the drift. It doesn’t so much produce results as just get your attention – you become a fish in a barrel and there’s really something quite beautiful about that.

“Jail didn’t help me any more or less than anything else. But I know I created that experience for a reason, and I’m only just starting to understand those reasons. Remember this is California, ‘Come on vacation, leave on probation.’ I mean, I can’t believe I stayed out of
the pen for as long as I did.”

Ricky Gervais has been slammed by Golden Globe organisers for his “unacceptable” remarks during the ceremony

The British comedian caused controversy when he mocked a number of stars including Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr. and Steve Carrell while hosting the awards show on Sunday (16.01.11) and Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) president Philip Berk – who was also the subject of jibes by the host – was unimpressed.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: “He definitely crossed the line. And some of the things were totally unacceptable.

“Any of the references to individuals is certainly not something the Hollywood Foreign Press condones.”

The HFPA has reportedly been inundated with angry phone calls from agents claiming their clients were offended but Philip claims his organisation were unaware of what Ricky would say.

He said: “I had absolutely no idea what Ricky was going to say so anything I heard was heard the same time you heard it. When you hire Ricky Gervais you expect the unexpected.”

While Ricky, 49, admitted he was unsure if he would be asked back to host the event for a third time – after also taking charge in 2010 – he claimed he loved the experience and was happy with his performance.

When asked if he had fun, Ricky replied “Oh absolutely. For three hours every year, Hollywood is scared to death of me. It’s great.”

A number of celebrities took to twitter to show their support for the comic.

Legendary broadcaster Larry King writing: “The folks who put on the Globes have no right to complain about Ricky Gervais. He does what he does. Why should it surprise them? You agree?”.

Actress Elizabeth Banks added: “I thought RG was hilarious. Actors can take it. We have thick skins.”

Hugh Hefner responded to a joke Ricky made about the age gap between himself and his 24-year-old fiancee Crystal Harris, saying: “the Golden Globes was a blast. They made fun of everyone, including Crystal & me. A great night. (sic)”

Ryan Reynolds has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine

The ‘Proposal’ actor – who is married to actress Scarlett Johansson, who was named Babe of the Year by GQ magazine this week – was awarded the title by the publication in their annual list and, although he expects to be teased by his family about the accolade, he is hoping to boast about the title to strangers.

He said: “You just have to go with the flow. This gives my family entre into teasing me for the rest of my life.

“Now it’s going to be, ‘Sexiest man, take out the garbage.’ That does sound better. The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers.”

While Ryan has been named Sexiest Man Alive, he admits he has to work hard to maintain his toned physique.

He joked to People: “My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke. When I stop training, I turn into a skin-coloured whisper.”

Other stars to feature in the list include ‘Mad Men’ actor John Hamm, ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk Kellan Lutz, actor-turned-rapper Drake and ‘Glee’ star Matthew Morrison, who made up the top five.

Making up the rest of the top 10 were Jon Bon Jovi, ‘True Blood’ star Joe Manganiello, Robert Downey Jr. and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Jesse Williams.

Meanwhile, the publication also ran a poll on social networking website Facebook, where fans voted Vin Diesel – who placed eleventh in the magazine’s own list – as their Sexiest Man Alive.

The 43-year-old actor took the title over Jersey Shore’s Paul ‘Pauly D’ DelVecchio and Enrique Iglesias, who polled second and third place respectively.

People will publish its full list of the Sexiest Men Alive in their next issue which hits newsstands on Friday (19.11.10).

Robert Downey, Jr. (born April 4, 1965) is an American actor. He made his screen debut at the age of five when he appeared in one of his father’s films, and has worked consistently in film and television ever since.

In 2007, Robert was cast as the title character in the film Iron Man, with director Jon Favreau explaining the choice by stating: “Downey, Jr., wasn’t the most obvious choice but he understood what makes the character tick. He found a lot of his own life experience in ‘Tony Stark’.” Favreau insisted in having Downey as he repeatedly claimed that Downey would be to Iron Man what Johnny Depp is to the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, a lead actor that could both elevate the quality of the film and increase the public’s interest in it.

Robert Downey Jr. thinks he will win an Oscar when he doesn’t deserve to

The ‘Iron Man’ star – who lost out on a Best Actor accolade in 1992 for his role in ‘Chaplin’, despite being favourite to win – insists awards ceremonies don’t necessarily recognise people for their talents or achievements, but decide when is the right “time” to give out an honour.

He said: “As long as I stick around, I’m going to end up with a bunch of them anyway as they’re going to run out of people to give them to.

“And I’m probably going to win it one year when someone else deserves to win it. Why? Because it’s my time. And that’s the way s**t works around here. I’m just an uptight mutt at the top of his game.”

Despite his prediction, the 45-year-old star insists he doesn’t care about winning awards anymore.

He told Britain’s GQ magazine: “I want to qualify that there is no physical pain in not winning something. There is psychological turmoil and lack of understanding, but what is really going on here? I can lie, and pretend I worry but I don’t care. Honestly.

“There was a time when I thought the only way out of hell was to win a certain type of award. And then I thought, ‘What a pitiful existence.’ ”

Robert Pattinson wears the same thing every day

The ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk loves shopping in thrift stores but admits his fame makes it difficult to make many trips to expand his wardrobe.

He said: “I like kind of s***ty clothes most of the time. I like second hand. That’s another thing. I can’t really go into second hand stores to get new clothes any more so I end up wearing the same thing every day.

“I wish I could shop in vintage stores the whole time. But because a lot of paparazzi follow me around, it can be difficult.”

Though he prefers second hand clothing, the 24-year-old actor – who is dating his ‘Twilight Saga’ co-star Kristen Stewart – turns to designer Marc Jacobs when he is in need of red carpet wear.

He added: “At almost every single premiere I wear Marc Jacobs. It seems to be the only stuff that fits me.”
It has previously been claimed that the British star rarely showers and has upset cast and crew on the ‘Twilight Saga’ with his pungent body odour.

A source close to the star – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the film franchise – previously said: “He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy. He completely reeks.”

Robert Pattinson has spent $1,000 on a bike

The British actor has splashed out on a 2010 Felt Breed Cyclo-X off-road cycle and has been spotted riding around Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he is currently filing ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’.

One onlooker said: “He was by himself on his bike for a good portion of yesterday.

“He looked to be having a good time and he was even trying to do tricks with it. He was riding pretty fast at some points too.”

According to the manager of Capitol Cyclery, the 24-year-old star told staff he “didn’t want a mountain bike” and “wanted something simple”.

Robert impressed workers with his down-to-earth attitude.

The store’s manager told HollywoodLife.com: “He didn’t strike me as a movie star when he walked in the door.”

As well as buying a new bike, it was recently claimed the ‘Remember Me’ star is planning to spend £30,000 on a Halloween party.

A source said: “Rob’s organising a huge soiree to celebrate Halloween, he thinks it is going to be hilarious for the cast and crew to dress up in scary costumes.

“The crew are huge fans of Rob and are really looking forward to it. Rob knows how much they all love Halloween so has really gone to town.

“He’s asked a couple of costume designers he knows to make special ghoul costumes for his guests.”

Robert Pattinson takes six months to write a song

The ‘Twilight Saga’ actor – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the film series – was an aspiring musician before he found success as an actor, but admits he has a slow work rate.

He said: “I write a song every six months. I never write a diary. I think that’s why it takes me so long. You have to summarise your personality changing.”

The actor, who plays piano and guitar as well as singing, has previously had two tracks he has performed, ‘Never Think’ and ‘Let Me Sign’ – both of which were written by other people – included on the first ‘Twilight’ soundtrack.

They were reportedly included by the film’s director Catherine Hardwicke, initially without the British hunk’s knowledge.

Robert has previously said he sees music as his “back-up plan” if being a film star fails, and that he believes he will be famous when he’s dead.

He said: “I am sure I’ll be one of those artists that people don’t pay any attention to while I’m alive, and when I am dead people will go yeah, man, that was a work of art.”

Robert Pattinson is splashing out £30,000 on a lavish Halloween party for his ‘Twilight’ pals

The British actor has decided to treat the cast and crew of the latest instalment in the vampire series ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ to a ghoulish bash during a break from filming this weekend, and has even paid for costume designers to create special spooky outfits for them all to wear.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Rob’s organising a huge soiree to celebrate Halloween, he thinks it is going to be hilarious for them all to dress up in scary costumes.

“The crew are huge fans of Rob and are really looking forward to it. Rob knows how much they all love Halloween so has really gone to town.

“He’s asked a couple of costume designers he knows to make special ghoul costumes for his guests.”

It is thought the 24-year-old heartthrob will be dressing as famous blood-sucker Dracula for the Los Angeles bash.

Robert is also believed to have splashed out on a Halloween-inspired gift for his girlfriend Kristen Stewart to celebrate the spooky day – which lands on Sunday October 31.

The source explained: “Rob brought a special vintage gold ring with a red heart for Kristen. He’s planning to give it to her just before the bash starts.”

The generous screen hunk is determined for his guests to have fun before they return to the set on Monday (01.11.10), and has ordered in “cauldrons” full of alcohol and soup to help kick the party off in style.

The source added: “Rob has also drafted in caterers to cook massive cauldrons full of soup and ale.

“The cast start shooting again on Monday so are free to spend the weekend having fun and getting into the spirit of things.

“There’s no way the cast of ‘Twilight’ would miss Halloween. It’s a massive event for them and something they’re always up for having a laugh with.”

Robert Pattinson “can’t do anything in America” because of his huge fame

The ‘Twilight’ heartthrob claims his success has presented him with more difficulties in the US than his native Britain because everywhere he goes he is hounded by paparazzi and fans.

He said: “It’s changed more in America. I always thought it would’ve by now in London, but it hasn’t really.

“I can’t do anything in America. I just don’t want to have any stories written about me.

“Anyone who likes going out and having their photo taken all the time, to me, seems an incredibly boring person or very delusional.”

Robert – who is dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart - also admits his fame frequently makes him “paranoid”.

He added to Britain’s OK! magazine: “You want to take control of it all the time and it’s impossible. It’s nice sometimes. You do get kind of paranoid, but it allows me to do the films I want to do.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have become avid fans of playing board games

The couple host “game nights” on the set of their new movie ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ challenging each other to games of family favourites including chess, Monopoly and Scrabble.

The competitive duo – who play lovers in the hit vampire series – have also invited co-stars Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene to join them to beat the boredom during filming breaks.

But Robert, 24, and Kristen, 21, have become so obsessed with winning the games have sometimes ended in rows.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Rob and Kristen have hours to burn on set and have got massively into board games.

“It gets competitive. There have been tantrums over snakes and ladders.”

Kristen’s enthusiasm for board games will come as no surprise to Robert who has admitted he fell for the star because she is so down-to-earth.

The heartthrob actor – who stars as vampire Edward Cullen opposite Kristen, who plays Bella Swan in the franchise – has praised her for being a “real woman”.

Robert, who has never confirmed they are dating, said: “What I especially like about her is that she’s like me, not dizzy from fans and press attention. She stays true to herself and very smart for her age.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart want to achieve a “Johnny Depp level of fame”

The couple are planning to take some time off after shooting the last film in the series, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’, to travel and friends say in the future they want to choose their work so they only act when they want to.

A source said: “After ‘Twilight’ they are aiming for a Johnny Depp level of fame - to work when they want but to get peace and quiet when they don’t.

“Right now, neither has accepted a role after ‘Twilight’ so they may even take a whole year off.”

Robert and Kristen – who star as heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen and his love interest Bella Swann respectively in the series – think it will “do them good to disappear for a while” and the time off will give them perspective on their careers.

The source added to more! magazine: “They think it’ll do them good to disappear for a while as they’re both in danger of being overexposed.

“Kristen knows Keira Knightley, who went on a Himalayan trek a few years ago to get some perspective on the madness of Hollywood. She’s convinced she and Rob should do the same. She wants them to just be a boy and a girl hanging out together.”

The couple are also reportedly planning on holding a romantic ceremony to show their commitment to each other in the city of New Orleans over the summer.

Edward Cullen is the sexiest movie vampire we have ever seen on the big screen. Robert Pattinson has topped ‘Glamour Magazine’s Top 31 Sexiest Vampires’ list.

The 24-year-old Twilight hunk had some tough contenders in this category. He faced strong competition from his Twilight Saga co-stars. Twilight’s Alec (portrayed by Cameron Bright), Victoria (by Rachelle Lefevre and Bryce Dallas Howard), Demetri (by Charlie Bewley ), Alice Cullen (by Ashley Greene), Carlisle Cullen (by Peter Facinelli), Jasper Hale(by Jackson Rathbone), Rosalie Hale (by Nikki Reed), Caius (by Jamie Campbell Bower), Riley Biers (by Xavier Samuel), Emmett Cullen (by Kellan Lutz) were among the 31 vamps at Glamour Magazine.

The Vampire Diaries’ Damon Salvatore, portrayed by Ian Somerhalder hold on to the second place.

The ‘Twilight Saga’ dominated the Teen Choice Awards in August picking up an incredible haul of 11 prizes. Robert and Kristen won the Choice Summer Movie Star: Male and Choice Summer Movie Star: Female accolades respectively.

In 2009, he was also named the “Sexiest Man Alive” by Glamour. Ask Men named Rob as one of the top 49 most influential men of 2009. Pattinson was named one of the “Sexiest Men Alive” in 2008 and 2009 by People magazine. In 2009, Vanity Fair named Pattinson “the most handsome man in the world”.

Kristen Stewart was offered a job as a stripper

The 20-year-old actress visited several lap dancing bars in New Orleans to research her role in new movie ‘Welcome to the Rileys’ and was astonished by the amount of sexy work she could have accepted.

She said: “Well, I mean, like, doing this movie … one shocking thing was to find how easy it is to flaunt your sexuality.

“Like, I went to a strip club with the director and the costume designer and it being an odd grouping of people going into a strip club in the middle of the afternoon, I was straight-up offered a job.”

Kristen – who plays a teenage runaway who becomes a stripper in the film – was also surprised by the amount of male attention she received when walking through the city in her skimpy costumes.

The screen beauty – who is in a relationship with her ‘Twilight Saga’ co-star Robert Pattinson – explained to MTV News: “Walking around New Orleans wearing the kind of stuff I was wearing literally could be like boom, boom, boom, done. But I would never do that.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly planning a voodoo ‘wedding’

The couple – who have refused to confirm they are dating since meeting on the set of the ‘Twilight Saga’ – allegedly want to show their commitment to each other at the unusual ceremony in December.

A source said: “Kristen is quite dark so she wants a ceremony performed by a New Orleans voodoo priestess.

“They’ve both had the crazy highs and lows you get when you’re intensely in love and thousands of miles apart, plus they’ve been coping with the immense pressure of conducting a relationship in the public eye.

“But they’ve now agreed they are serious and want to make a love pledge to show it.”

Kristen, 21, and 24-year-old Robert are keen to keep the details of the service secret and will not wear wedding rings after the service, instead opting to get each other special love tokens and matching tattoos.

The source explained to LOOK magazine: “Instead, Kristen and Robert want to buy each other tokens of devotion.

“They want to keep speculation to a minimum, so won’t get rings, but each is going to choose a present that reminds them of just how much they love each other.

“And they’re going to both get matching tattoos on their hips. They want tiny anchors to symbolise that they ground each other and keep each other calm when things get stormy.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart went unrecognised at a recent gig

The ‘Twilight’ stars – who have long been rumoured to be a real life couple – attended a concert by the band Jenny and Johnny at Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this week, and managed to enjoy a night of almost complete anonymity despite their global fame.

A source said: “It’s very easy for people to blend in which they did amazingly well.

“Almost nobody recognised the two while they were there. The staff was aware, as they get famous people watching shows there all the time and are willing to accommodate their needs if needed.”

Despite managing to go unseen by the majority of concert-goers, some did notice they were behaving as if they were a couple and spent the night “extremely close” to each other.

The onlooker added: “They were close to each other with Kristen in front of Rob almost all night. They never hid the fact they were obviously a couple, they were extremely close the entire time they both were there.

“It looked like they were both enjoying the music but it was Kristen who enjoyed it the most as she was seen singing the songs and there were times she sang songs to Rob, while Rob just smiled and laughed that Kristen was loving it.”

It is the second time this week the couple have ventured out and made it clear they were romantically involved – last Saturday (02.10.10) the pair enjoyed a meal out at top Hollywood restaurant Soho House.

A source said: “They were staring at each other throughout dinner and kept stealing quick kisses from one another during the night. Rob’s arm was around her for most of dinner and they kept looking at each other and giggling throughout the evening. They are definitely into each other.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were recently spotted enjoying a cozy dinner on Monday night. It is rumoured that Stewart was seen getting cozy with Rob when going out together on Monday night,

According to Us Weekly, a source revealed that Kristen was “sitting on his lap”. The source further added that “It was a snuggle fest!”

The pair will begin filming ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ in November.

Kristen Stewart will star as Mary Lou in ‘On the Road‘. Filming for the movie began on August 4 in Montreal.

Earlier this year Rob said, “I don’t think settling down should be the same thing as getting married,” He explained, “I mean, I guess settling down just means not sleeping with everybody. I don’t like the idea of having to settle, though.”

Justin Bieber wants Robert Pattinson to be his “wingman” and help him pick up girls on nights out

The teenage pop star – who is rumoured to be dating 16-year-old Jasmine Villegas, who co-starred in his ‘Baby‘ music video – is keen for the ‘Twilight’ heartthrob to go out with him because he thinks they would be an unstoppable flirting force.

Justin said: “I love talking to girls and going on dates. My ideal wingman would be Robert Pattinson. We should go to a few showbiz parties and see what happens. He landed back in Los Angeles last week, so maybe we can go and work some of the magic.”

The 16-year-old singer has already been working on some pick-up lines he and 24-year-old Robert – who is currently dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart – could use on girls.

Justin told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Robert says his hair is a great ice-breaker so maybe we can go up to girls and be like, ‘Do you wanna touch our hair?’ How about that for an opening line?”

The Canadian-born star also revealed he has a fondness for British girls and is hoping Robert, who was born and raised in London, can give him some tips.

He said: “The girls go crazy for him over here but I have a big thing for English girls so maybe we could hit a couple of parties in London as well.”

Meanwhile, Justin has been tipped to host a new version of ‘Punk’d’.

According to reports, MTV is bringing back the hidden camera show which sees celebrities get pranked and Justin is in negotiations to take over from previous host Ashton Kutcher, who quit in 2007.

The show’s creators Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, will executive produce the new run.

Justin is quickly making a name for himself as a prankster.

He recently panicked fellow pop star Akon by pretending to be his illegitimate son in a phone call.

Akon’s manager Scooter explained: “He was like, ‘Daddy, why don’t you love me?’ It really scared the s**t out of Akon!“

When asked about his antics and whether he really makes prank calls by a fan, Justin warned via a twitter post: “R u Kidding of course I do!! I prank everyone!! No 1 is safe  (sic)”
