LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Entertainment Weekly has named its "10 Breakout Stars
of 2008" and the list includes an actor who wants to suck your
blood, a singer looking for a boy from America, a tween star known
to hang out with three brothers - and even a dog who lives the good
life in the 90210.
Robert Pattinson: Topping the magazine's list
is the "Twilight" star. The 22-year-old actor is set to play Edward
Cullen in the big screen adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's insanely
popular book series. Robert's fans have been known to wait for
hours to catch a glimpse of him, shriek and squeal at almost
inhuman volume levels when they finally do see the British actor
and even cause riots in malls if he's nearby.

in 2008's "The Secret Life of Bees" with Jennifer Hudson, Queen

posh pooch in the Disney hit, but her trainer told the mag it was
all acting. 'She'd rather run around and play with sticks than hang
out in little pink dresses,'' trainer Mike Alexander said.
