Robert Pattinson Hates Prop 8, Los Angeles Comedy Scene
Has the comedy world learned nothing from the time it angered Brooke Shields with jokes about a freshly-dead Estelle Getty? Apparently not, since it now falls to Twilight star Robert Pattinson to cry, "Too soon!"
That's according to Us Weekly, which placed the actor at the Hollywood Improv this month for a $50 anti-Prop 8 show. Though the cost of a ticket went to Equality California, Pattinson was feeling less than charitable about the humor:
According to a witness at the No on H8 show at The Improv in Hollywood on Dec. 16, Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 22, booed a comic who said, "Here's my impression of Heath Ledger," then collapsed and began faking convulsions.

"Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him," the source tells Us Weekly. "[Pattinson screamed] f—k you! You suck!"
So much for our fantasies: At one point, we'd dreamed of squiring the actor to a show of alt-comedy at UCB or the Largo, then running our hands through his thick unwashed mane in between onstage performers. Now that Pattinson is freshly shorn and we've learned he's more of an Improv guy (points for the charity, though!), we think we'll take Kristen Stewart instead—that is, if we can pull her away from her honey bear bong and a night of premieres on Adult Swim.
