Robert Pattinson Hides From Fans -- In a Box. No, Seriously.

July 10, 2009

Welcome to "Crazytown." Population: Robert Pattinson -- and a rotating cast of batshit fangirls who won't stop until they've been served multiple restraining orders.

Yes, the Twilight star is still getting hassled on the New York City set of Remember Me. And according to OK! magazine, all the squealing, unsolicited groping and traffic collisions have escalated to the point that the movie crew has had to take drastic measures to protect Pattinson's delicate person.

Why not just hire a team of body-guards? Maybe that works for the Zac Efrons and Jonas Brothers of the world, but Pattinson's a different breed of dreamboat.

It'll take something special to shield his "devastating, inhuman beauty" from the jam-hands of tween-aged mortals. Something like his own personal super-powered vampire BFF, laser-equipped mountain lions, or ... a really big box.

Turns out the box option is the one the Remember Me crew chose.

No, seriously. We’re already imagining it topped with a bow and being sent to us for Christmas.

According to the magazine's onset source, the crew built a "7-foot-high enclosure" that shields the actor from superfans when he's taking five from the shoot.

Just think of it as being like the Popemobile -- except sexier. And, um, more like a box.

"It's crazytown," OK!'s source says of the Pattinson-induced frenzy surrounding the shoot. "There are all these girls with a lot of hormones and a lot of time on their hands."

"Rob's a nice guy -- he doesn't want to disappoint people," the source, who works for Pattinson's security detail, continues. "He stops to say hello when he can, but he just can't do it a lot. People bring him gifts, but we can't take them -- we don't know where they've come from."

Apparently, Pattinson could use a portable version of his safety-box -- and possibly one with a variety of fine beers on tap -- as the Pattz attacks aren't just limited to onset shenanigans.

"I worked on Gossip Girl with guys like Penn Badgely. We'd go out after work and play beer pong. Nobody would bother them," said OK!'s snitch , grossly overestimating the appeal of GG's Dan "smug-mug" Humphrey. "There's no way Rob can do that. He'd be mobbed."
