One minute Robert Pattinson was an out-of-work musician, then Twilight turned him into Britain's second-highest paid actor. As the hugely successful vampire saga approaches its end, he tells Sanjiv Bhattacharya how frightening it is to emerge back into the daylight

When asked about the pressures of fame, Emma Watson (Hermione in the Harry Potter series) said she was thankful she wasn't Robert Pattinson. "I can't even imagine what that kind of fame must be like," she said. "So many people must wish they were in his position and think he has the best life, but actually there are prices you pay. Don't interpret that from my perspective. It's not so bad for me. I'm not in Rob's position: I don't have people screaming and crying and clawing at me. I'm so grateful for that."

It says something when the star of Harry Potter thinks that you're the one who's too famous.

CBS ruled the primetime roost on Thursday as NBC served up reruns of Friends, Will & Grace and ER. ABC and Fox, meanwhile, were deep in the Nielsen cellar with near record-low ratings for the night, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. CBS won the night by a wide margins with big turnouts for Survivor: Amazon (19.1 million viewers, 7.2 rating/21 share in the adults 18-49 demo), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (26.1 million, 9.7/25) and Without a Trace (17.6 million, 6.2/16), which had no trouble beating NBC's 10 p.m. ER rerun (11.7 million, 5.3/14). NBC sandwiched originals of Scrubs and Good Morning, Miami between its tentpole reruns but all around it was a lackluster night for the peacock, which took second place (11.9 million, 5.5/15) behind CBS (20.9 million, 7.7/21). ABC's 8-10 p.m. block of Whose Line Is It Anyway? episodes (one original followed by three repeats) and 10 p.m. newsmagazine Primetime Live yielded an anemic 5.1 million viewers and 1.8/5 in 18-49 for the night. Fox was even further behind with a nightly average of 4 million viewers and 1.9/5 in the demo generated by back-to-back That '70s Show repeats and 9 p.m. newsmagazine The Pulse (3.6 million, 1.5/4).
