I don't remember what year, but it was definitely in junior high," he opens up. "I think it was just with a random girl from school.

Speaking of girls, the Jacob Black of "Twilight" admits that though he has become famous, he still finds it hard to talk with people from the opposite sex. "I definitely wouldn't say I overcame that. I guess it just depends on the girl. Sometimes I'll feel free to completely open up, and I wish I could do that more often because that's what I look for in a girl. Someone that can open up and be herself, but no, I definitely haven't overcome it completely," so he confesses.

It looks like Jimmy Fallon has no intention to stop taking a jab at the popularity of Robert Pattinson. The talk show host has just released the latest viral video "Rob is Bothered" which is part of his "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon".

This time, Fallon makes use of the "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" hype to pose as Robert and say that the sequel to "Twilight" bothers him.

After teasing through several trailers, "The Wolfman" takes the audience behind the scenes of the film in new featurette.

A remake of the 1941 classic of the same name, "The Wolfman" follows Lawrence Talbot whose childhood ended the night his mother died. One day, he is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Learning that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, he begins an investigation.

Notwithstanding Robert Pattinson's worldwide fame, his "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" co-star Justine Wachsberger doesn't think he is the cutest guy on the film's set. In an interview with OK! Magazine, she says "The guy I find the cutest is not Rob. It would be Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri. He's part of the Volturi. He's just cute. He's this little British boy, who is in the same style as Rob, but I believe cuter."

Physical appearance aside, Justine in fact only has good words for the "Twilight" leading actor when it comes to his personality. "Rob is really nice. He really got into his character. Edward (Cullen) is part of him now, but he's really a gentleman, he's really sweet, he has great manners, he's funny, but he's shy," so she enthuses. "You would think that with the notoriety that he's gotten that he's pretty outgoing, but he's actually really shy but really nice and low-key."

The secret to his tousled hair and his plans of going to college are some of the things that TIME's readers would like to know from Zac Efron. Jennifer Cheng from Freehold, N.J. asks him about how he keeps his hair looking so great all the time. To that question, the actor has this to say, "I've never told anyone this before. This is a hair scoop. Shower before you go to bed, and then sleep on your wet hair. Towel-dry it. In the morning, it's all messed up naturally. If you have that messed-up thing going when you wake up, it's more willing to stay that way."

And when it comes to going to college, a question given by Emily Hansen from Sands Point, N.Y., Zac reveals "I can't say for certain right now." He however is quick to add, "I know at some point I will go back and study, but at this point I'm definitely focusing on working as hard as I can on film."
