Robert Pattinson on Ellen ~ Backstage Details

Robert Pattinson was in the Ellen building May 18, and all anyone could talk about was his new quasi-buzz cut!

The Twilight hunk was so relaxed backstage that he wasn’t aware of the mass hysteria he was
causing by simply wearing a hat! Interns and staffers were told ahead of
time not ask for photos or autographs, but lurked around hoping Rob,
24, would take off the ball cap while he filmed the segment that airs
today, May 19.

“I couldn’t believe it,” a show insider confided to HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “It felt like a birth! We all felt
like we were witnessing something special. If he looked any cuter he may
have been arrested!”

Our source says that Rob was humble, courteous and nice, and greeted everyone around him, including host
Ellen, who popped by his dressing room briefly (lucky thing). The
conversation was short, but the two managed to get in a little light
American Idol chatter. “Rob hasn’t been following the show closely so he
didn’t know which contestants were left, but he made sure to tell Ellen
to say ‘hello’ to Simon [Cowell] for him,” our source dished.

Those Brits do love to stick together — and now both Rob and Simon even have
similar haircuts! Do we smell a R-Patz guest appearance on X-Factor in
the making?
