Simon Cowell already has helped launch quite a few musical careers -- from Susan Boyle to Leona Lewis to pretty much anyone on "American Idol" to an extent -- but now, he is setting his sights on a certain "Twilight" star by the name of Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson certainly does have some musical talent (he plays both the piano and guitar), but he is also is a little wary of taking the first offer out there from a big-name producer. A source told British publication The Sun that "Robert is reluctant to be turned into a pop star - and takes his music very seriously...He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with 'X Factor' and pop."
The paper also reports that, thanks to Cowell's involvement, there is now a bidding war breaking out over who gets to produce Pattinson's music. The kicker? These are all just offers, since the actor has yet to show that he's really that into going out on tour. Many big-name stars have attempted a musical career in the past, and while some (Jamie Foxx) found success others (Scarlett Johansson) floundered.
Do you think Robert Pattinson could be both a great singer and actor? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more news.From:www.examiner.com
