Kristen Stewart AWOL for Rob Pattinson London premiere of 'Remember Me'

Hordes of chanting fans crammed into
London's Leicester Square Wednesday to catch a glimpse of local boy and "
Twilight" star
Robert Pattinson.
On-off girlfriend
Kristen Stewart was a conspicuous no-show as Pattinson did the red carpet affair for new movie "Remember Me."
Pattinson, whose role as
Edward Cullen in the hit Vampire franchise has made him a superstar, told the crowd he was still getting used to being so well-known.
"I never go to places where crowds congregate, so it's always a novelty. It's a completely separate aspect of my life. It's nice."
Pattinson plays Tyler in "Remember Me," which tells focuses on Tyler's life in
New York in the wake of a family tragedy. Tyler, whose father is played by
Pierce Brosnan, falls in love with loner Ally, played by Lost star
Emilie de Ravin.
Pattinson said he was delighted to see how "Twilight" had helped "Remember Me" and The Runaways, which stars Twilight actress Kristen Stewart.
"They're both little independent films. The idea that Twilight can help little independent films push through Alice In Wonderland and $100 million budgets is nice."
