Robert Pattinson is E! Online's Celebrity of the Year

For his hat trick, R.Pattz can thank his legions of dedicated fans, who endlessly voted to get him to the top spot with the fervor of, well, a Twi-hard.

So what justifies Mr. Edward Cullen's victory this year?

Let us count the ways: Well, there were the movies. He got down and dirty in Bel Ami (though better we forget about that one). He wowed in Cosmopolis and dominated Cannes with its debut. And then there was a little picture called The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. You may have caught it?

And there was the controversy—what would a year in the life of Robsten be without it?! 2012 kicked off with the perennially "are they or aren't they?" that comes with any franchise coupledom. Then the summer happened, and Kristen Stewart and her Snow White and the Huntman director Rupert Sanders were involved little cheating scandal. But Robsten remains unbroken. Yay!

And the hair? Perfect as ever.

But Twilight is over now so there's no chance Rob could win again next year, right?
