Robert Pattinson Needs A New Leading Lady!

Robert Pattinson needs a new leading lady for his latest movie after Nicole Kidman dropped out of filming.

The 23-year-old Twilight sensation was due to star alongside Nicole Kidman, in Bel Ami but the 42-year-old actress has had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

A representative for Nicole confirmed yesterday that her starring in the film was "categorically not happening".

In the film - based on a novel by the French author Guy de Maupasant - Robert will play a corrupt journalist who manipulates his rich lover to become one of the most powerful men in France.

Robert has previously described the character as "totally amoral" suggesting it is the antithesis of his well known character Edward Cullen in Twilight.

Playing the lothario will also be a departure for Robert, as he has previously said in real life he finds it hard to get dates, as girls are only interested in his Twilight character.

He said: "Girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can't get a date."

Bel Ami is the first film project from Simon Fuller, the media mogul who created American Idol and was the brains behind the Spice Girls.

The film will shoot in London and Budapest from February 2010.

Bel Ami is one of several projects lined up for Robert, who appears in the next instalment in the Twilight Saga: New Moon, which opens later this month.
