Robert Pattinson is probably used to seeing members of the opposite sex swoon. The pulchritudinous star of teen-vampire-romance Twilight was recently voted 2008's sexiest male, by readers of Hello magazine's website. But according to E! News, Pattinson's female co-stars may be reeling for another reason: he stinks.

The 22-year-old Londoner has apparently fallen foul of colleagues on the set of New Moon, the forthcoming sequel to last year's blockbusting adaptation of Stephenie Meyers' novel, for failing to look after his personal hygiene. "It's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy," a source tells the entertainment site. "He completely reeks," an unidentified crew member adds, for good measure.

Pattinson is by no means the first well-known thespian who might benefit from a spritz of deodorant or trip to the dentist. Halitosis was a serious problem on set in Hollywood's golden era, when smoking, drinking and poor diet, all contributing factors, were more widespread. Clark Gable's famous line: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," might well have served to outline his attitude to his co-stars, who frequently complained about his bad breath. "Kissing Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind was not that exciting," Vivian Leigh once said. "His dentures smelled something awful."

With the 13,000 messages collected, a wall of remembrance will be erected in a public space in KL. The printed photos will be displayed on the wall in order to share the AIDSAware messages with everyone!

i think creating awareness for fighting AIDS is important because the vast majority of people with AIDS live in lower- and middle-income countries. But AIDS today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world . Global leaders have pledged to work towards AIDS prevention and care, recognising these as fundamental human rights. Valuable progress has been made in increasing access to AIDS services, yet greater commitment is needed around the world if the goal of universal access is to be achieved. Millions of people continue to be infected with AIDS every year. In low- and middle-income countries, less than half of those in need of antiretroviral therapy are receiving it, and too many do not have access to adequate care services.

The protection of human rights is fundamental to combating the global AIDS epidemic. Violations against human rights fuel the spread of AIDS, putting marginalised groups, such as injecting drug users and sex workers, at a higher risk of AIDS infection. By promoting individual human rights, new infections can be prevented and people who have AIDS can live free from discrimination.

AIDS awareness provides an opportunity for all of us - individuals, communities and political leaders - to take action and ensure that human rights are protected and global targets for AIDS prevention, treatment and care are met.
