Twilight star Robert Pattinson hits newstands this week on the cover of Vanity Fair, and the magazine has celebrated by providing extra R-Patz treats online.

VF.com is presenting four slideshows of outtakes from Pattinson's shoot with photographer Bruce Weber. Click here to check out the first of these slideshows.

In a very brooding photoshoot, Pattinson's props include a book, a piano and a corn cob. Yes, a very lucky corn cob.

The website also includes some excerpts from the magazine's interview with the Twilight heartthrob, including his denial of a relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart.

"It doesn't make any difference what you say to the tabloids," he says.

"I've literally been across the country from Kristen, and it's like 'Oh, they were on secret dates!' It's like 'Where? I can't get out of my hotel room!'"
