Meat Thermometer: Robert Pattinson

As Mugato, the meglomaniacal fashion designer from Zoolander, might say, "Robert Pattinson is so hot right now." He's so popular, in fact, that his upcoming film "Twilight" is outpacing James Bond in advanced ticket sales on Fandango.com. And we're gonna go out on a limb and say it's the ladies driving sales, as much as Twilight's vampire love story is sure to be a hit with the guys.

The tousled-haired 22 year-old heartthrob burst onto the global scene with star turns in the last two Harry Potter films -  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. His casting in the widely anticipated Twilight is as predictable as the film's early buzz is surprising. Who better to play a vampire with a heart than a pasty-faced Brit? But if his popularity in the gossip rags is any indication, it was a wise move. 

The tarts of Young Hollywood are probably throwing themselves at him right now, but something tells us this gent has more refined tastes. Maybe it's because he's British. Or because his Harry Potter co-star has already detailed the pleasures of an older woman. Maybe it's just that we like the idea.

Whatever it is we think this star-in-the-making is Grade a cougar manmeat, whether he likes it or not.

Ideal man? Maybe not. But Pattinson is definitely a cub under attack.
