Sought-after movie actor Robert Pattinson has denied recent claims made by several sources who work with him on the set of "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" that he "stinks and never showers." Contrary to their accusation, the "Twilight" hunk insists in an interview with MovieFone that he does shower. "I haven't even been on the set yet!" he adds in a bid to pour cold water to the false accusation.

Asked to comment on fellow actor Zac Efron who once was also hit with the similar body odor reports, Robert says, "Really? He looks like he smells really good [laughs]." The British star doesn't make further statement on that matter though.

Commenting on the many rumors surrounding his personal and professional life, Robert admits, "Well I do [read Internet gossip] sometimes. I only look at the negative stuff. I just want to know whoever's saying negative stuff, and I just want to remember their names. I write it all down in my little black book."

Quizzed about Ryan Reynolds, who recently made public his admiration for him, Robert offers nothing, but an embarrassed laugh of disbelief. As of his ideal co-star, Robert tells MovieFone, "I've always wanted to work with Benicio Del Toro, I think he's amazing. And there are tons and tons of people."
