Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson confessed to the Ellen DeGeneres Show that he deeply regretted offhandedly asking a female fan to disrobe for his viewing pleasure while waiting backstage. Pattinson explain to Ellen:

It was after a period of signing 500 signatures, and one of [the fans] just came up. You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything, and I kind of got bored of saying, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ And [the fan] said in her 10 seconds, ‘What can I do to get your attention?’ I was like, ‘Um, just take your clothes off.’ And she stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security. I never felt more terrible.

Pattinson should heed the words of wisdom bestowed upon Peter Parker by his uncle Ben in Spiderman: “With great power comes great responsibility.” That’s why I never ask Clatto readers to send me photos of their vaginas and butt-holes. It would be an abuse of power.
