Local News Covers Rob's Stop in Lubbock - Texas



The actor who plays vampire Edward Cullen posed for pictures with some Crickets staff and adoring fans, while others crowded the streets hoping to just catch a glimpse.

Actor Robert Pattinson made a pit stop at Cricket's Bar and Grill in Lubbock, just off the Texas Tech Campus Monday night. While the waitstaff expected a slow night due to the Labor Day holiday, they quickly learned it would turn into a frenzy.

Brittni Vivion, a waitress at Crickets said Pattinson went unnoticed for almost four hours before the realization set in.

"He came in around 5 o'clock at our happy hour shift. Nobody really noticed that it was Robert Pattinson until about 9 o'clock and finally a couple of bartenders and waitstaff asked him and then he kind of denied it at first and then eventually he fessed up and said that it was him. And so the word got out and about 20 minutes later we had a rush of girls come in. They were just flaunting themselves over him. We finally had to shut the bar down and not let anybody else in cause it was just crazy, said Vivion."

Pattinson left the bar at closing time through a back exit. Bystander Marissa Mason described the scence as a chaotic.

There is no official word on why Pattinson was in Lubbock. But theories on various gossip sites indicate he may have made the stop on his way to New Orleans where his Twilight co-star and real life love interest Kristen Stewart is shooting a movie.

"There was just a large crowd of girls just screaming and standing around hovering around the windows and doors and their were cameras out, everyone had their cameras out trying to take pictures of everything inside. There were several police out and just directing traffic, making sure people didn't stop, a lot of people were trying to stop and see what was going on."




Rob Pattinson was spotted in Lubbock, Texas at Cricket's Sports Bar on Broadway on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010. No one knows why he was here but he was with like 2 other guys. People were posting the news all over Facebook and the bouncers quit letting people in because over 200 girls showed up..

..and were waiting outside the front door. He sang karoke and waved at the girls in the window occasionally. I went to the back door because I figured that would most likely be his way of getting out. At about 1:30 AM a white truck driven by a..

..police officer followed by two other cop cars pulled up to the back door and Robert and his two friends walked out and got in the car. The police blocked off the streets so it was impossible to follow him.

@behnaz, ITA.

Well he had relatively 4 good hours before chaos ensued. I wish he had left then, but he must have been enjoying himself. I am sure he would have left earlier if the chaos had overwhelmed him. I wonder which of the Brit Pack is with him. To be a fly in that car would well be worth the impending danger of being swat to death.

The beard is sexy, I just feel bad for him that people tweeted and posted on facebook and created such chaos.

@lluvethemovies, it's Tom and Sam that are with him :-) He is on vacation no need for the caveman to shave on holiday lol...I don't like beards either, but I like to see happy Rob...So grow away lol...Kinda pisses me off that those girls had to go and text their friends...Why do they think he didn't want to tell him? See I'm selfish when it comes to certain things, and I would want to keep the man there all to myself...Plus I wouldn't want to do that to him...Maybe he stayed though so Tom and Sam might get lucky...hehe

Gah even in a smaller town like Lubbock, Texas, he can't escape the fame. Poor guy.

Unknown said...

My guess for the next stop, is Tyler Tx or Waco Tx..Or maybe he this fiasco will push him all the way to his final destination...Wherever that may be...Hmmm...

@RavenLily I wouldn't be surprised if he did not stop again until New Orleans, to stay off the radar the rest of the trip. He wouldn't go to another part of Texas, not after the mess at that bar.

Press are going to be all over him and KStew once he is in New Orleans.

Jane said...

He could have told them in his American accent that it wasn't him but he must have not cared. He seemed to be having a good time, drinking and singing and having Tom and Sam along with him makes me just smile for him. Stirred up a little excitement for the town. One picture I saw showed a fourth man who was driving. I didn't recognize who it was. Anyone know?

Nicole said...

It's a college town so it would be full of girls! At least he had a good time.

JA said...

rob was fine...it was prob. chaos for the people in lubbock, but was prob. very tame for rob, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed so long. yes, note to rob, stay out of the college towns! :) still, very impressive that he went 4 hrs without being recognized.

Iluvthemovies said...

@Ravenlilly, thanks for letting us know who was with Rob. I knew probably one of them was Sam, but I was uncertain about the other because I thought Tom was still filming production on OTR...I don't really mind about the beard, from the front it looks like a decent length, on the photo showing him leaving the place, he looks like his beard has grown like wildfire. At least it is not like the beard Brad Pitt had, egads.

JLC said...

Like several of you, I was pleased to read he had 4 hours where he was not recognized...and he got to sing a little karaoke as well!! For someone as well known as Rob, that has to be pretty good.

JA said...

@iluvthemovies, you know that you just have to look 5 feet beind rob and you'll find tom. poor guy.

to have been able to watch him doing karaoke would have be priceless!

♪♫ Yaelfica ♪♫ said...

@JA LOL and so true

and now he was karaoking?? umm....

i love the news report, it reminds me of when people say they've seen a ghost or UFO and have blurry pics to show of it.. ROFL

all that chaos just for a guy visiting a town for some hours! ROB was right this is pretty bizarre...they must be having a great time running away b4 someone realizes who he is...and SAM and TOM must be getting a LOT of action (if u know what a mean) thanks to ROB...xD

BTW is there a nickname for SAM?? like TOMSTU?? oh poor guy :D

Unknown said...

He can go to Timbuktu. There he can have peace of mind. Wow! He was escorted like the fucking president. Poor Rob..

Iluvthemovies said...

@JA and Yaelfica,
I sometimes look at Rob and Tom as the Skipper and his little buddy Gilligan from the tv show called Gilligan's Island. Wherever the skipper went Gilligan was right behind him. Almost attached to the hip. Those two seem to be inseparable. I wonder who will be the best man at Rob's wedding if he should ever marry. Can u have four best men?

JA said...

sidenote: making sure the US/Canada folks know that Eclipse is being re-released this wknd in celebration of Bella's birthday. how precious is that?!

♪♫ Yaelfica ♪♫ said...

@JA now i hate US/Canada ppl...xD just jk!:D

the guy did hang out and have some beers...for about 8 hours. i think he'll be ok.

Iluvthemovies said...

@JA, ITA
If he was not enjoying himself he would have left once his anonymity was gone, 4 hours before he departed.

Jane said...

Rob and his mates just spotted in Austin at Caupacabra Bar. So, it just stands to reason that they will head to Houston and then straight across into Louisiana. I can't quit smiling every time I think of this.

JA said...

@Jane, it's fun to track him :)

Why is there not a LIKE button??? @liuvthemovies, I love you Skipper and Gilligan comparison!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Iluvthemovies said...

@Ravenlilly, I am happy you liked the comparison. I told Yaelfica I hope people don't think I was comparing Rob to the Skipper's . girth, but it always seems like TomStu is wherever Rob is. He is like Peter Pan and his shadow.

♪♫ Yaelfica ♪♫ said...

@iluvthemovies do i hear ♪♫why do birds suddenly appear, everytime u r near!♪♫ in the background??? ;)

Unknown said...

@lluvthemovies The weight thing never even crossed my mind. Lol, I was just picturing Rob in a blue shirt and captain hat, and Tom waddling behind in a red shirt and white hat, and then crashing into Rob when he stops...Lol hahaha... ;-)

Iluvthemovies said...

@Ravenlilly, ROFLMAO. That visual just keeps popping up in my head. I wish someone would do a manip on that, it would be hilarious.

Dazzle said...

Tom always in Rob's shadow....hello people. If you people haven't gotten it by now then it's hopeless. Rob is rarely without his companion and partner.

GiGi said...

Some girl said he is at a bar someplace in Houston * sitting on a Dracula pinball machine jamming on his guitar with someone playing a fiddle. Said he made fun of her trying to take his picture and I guess here it is, she said she would have another up on her facebook tomorrow. You can barely see him in the crowd. http://plixi.com/p/44050602 You can see Rob behind the girls hand in the pic. He's really in Houston!

@lovesrob Thanks for posting. :-)

So freaking awesome to see him this way! I can't say it enough...The man is having a blast...Hopefully he won't enjoy it so much to say the hell with Hollywood...What would we do without him making Breaking Dawn...He is the only thing making that movie worth going to...Ya know what though...I would take happy, traveling, dive bar hopping, guitar playing, dancing naked around the fire Rob over unhappy Rob any day... :-)
