Robert Pattinson has just been named the new face of Dior's fragrance for men, Dior Homme. The Twilight heartthrob isn't the first celebrity to lend his face to Christian Dior. Robert joins a celebrated list of names, including Jude Law, Alain Delon, Natalie Portman, and Charlize Theron. Campaigns have already reportedly been shot by photographer Nan Goldin and director Romain Gavras, but no release date has been confirmed yet. Unfortunately, the television campaign will run exclusively in Europe, with the exception of the UK, and Asia, excluding Japan and China.

After months of speculation and rumours, Robert Pattinson has been confirmed as the new face of Dior Homme. The luxury fashion house released a statement announcing Rob's new role and confirming that a television ad will run exclusively in Europe (except in the UK) and Asia (except for China and Japan). The print campaign was photographed by Nan Goldin and the TV spot was filmed by Romain Gavras. No further details about the campaign have been revealed, but Rob is in good company at Dior — Jude Law, Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman have all worked for the brand's various fragrance campaigns.

Aside from his first fragrance foray, Rob has been keeping busy with several new film projects. He wrapped up filming for The Rover, which is slated to hit cinemas later this year, and he is expected to start work on at least two new movies, including Map of the Stars and Queen of the Desert. Robert has also been finding time to relax. He recently hooked up with friend Katy Perry for a Björk concert in Hollywood.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's reported split was the talk of the town last week — what started with a botched birthday party has seemingly progressed into a full-blown breakup, including late nights on the town and a sudden move. We're catching you up on the Twilight couple's parting by breaking down the news into daily bites. Keep reading for the play-by-play of Rob and Kristen's crazy week.

Saturday, May 18: News broke that Robert and Kristen had reportedly called it quits, after Rob apparently did not attend the 27th birthday celebration that Kristen organised for him two weeks ago.

Sunday, May 19: The breakup rumours gained more steam when Rob was spotted leaving Kristen's home in a pick-up truck packed with a suitcase and several garbage bags, as well as his two dogs, Bear and Bernie.

Get the rest of the rundown on Rob and Kristen's breakup when you keep reading.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reportedly split last weekend, and now Us Weekly claims that a big reason behind the breakup was Kristen's scandal with Rupert Sanders last July. Sources told the magazine that Rob put Kristen "through the ringer" about the affair and "held it over her head," even after they had gotten back together last year. One source continued, "Ultimately, it was like, 'Either we move past this or we don't.' It wasn't good for either of them."

Rob and Kristen allegedly split after Rob didn't attend a 27th birthday bash that Kristen had organised for him. Sources claim that Rob had a separate party at his home, which Kristen didn't attend. Robert Pattinson was spotted moving items out of Kristen's home on Sunday, with their two dogs, Bear and Bernie, by his side. For her part, Kristen hasn't been sulking alone at home since the news broke — she allegedly hung out with friend Taylor Swift over the weekend and was seen smiling during a dinner with pals in LA on Monday. Sources have left the idea of a reconciliation open ended, saying that the two could very well get back together.

More information about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's split is starting to filter in, just a few days after it was announced that Rob and Kristen had broken up. According to People magazine, the two had been spending less time together ever since they both returned to LA after spending time in NYC together while Kristen attended the 2013 Met Gala earlier this month. Sources told the magazine, "Kristen has been in a terrible mood, and it was obvious that things were not great with Rob." The source also says that the two have been spending more time "at their separate houses." According to earlier reports, the two had been living together at the home of Kristen's mother in the LA area with their two dogs, Bear and Bernie.

News of Robert and Kristen's split hit on Saturday evening, with some blaming the breakup on the fact that Rob didn't attend the birthday bash that Kristen had thrown in his honour. People now reports that Rob had a separate bash at his house, but Kristen wasn't around. A friend told the magazine, "He had friends over at his house, but Kristen was not part of the celebration. For the past few days, they have not spent any time together." Despite the news of their breakup, some sources have already spilled that they think Rob and Kristen could get back together very soon.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have split, according to a report by People. Its source says the couple called it quits after Robert didn't attend the 27th birthday celebration that Kristen organised for him earlier last week. Kristen was photographed looking upset, driving around their LA neighbourhood the following day. This isn't the first rough patch for Rob and Kristen, so perhaps it's only a temporary breakup. Robert and Kristen were spotted together in NYC just last week after she hit the red carpet at the Met Gala wearing Stella McCartney.
