Paris Hilton has joined the Robert Pattinson-mania sweeping the globe by revealing that the Twilight hearthrob has her bowled over completely.

The heiress - who is currently filming the British version of her reality show, My New BFF - says that she was bitten by the Pattsinon bug after watching Rob as Edward Cullen in the vampire flick, Twilight.

"I just saw Twilight last night for the first time, and I have to say that I think Rob is a beautiful man and an amazing actor," Paris told E! News.

"He's fabulous!

"Now I understand all the hype. I just didn't get it before, but now it all makes sense. I really enjoyed the movie and loved watching Rob in it."

Paris threw herself back onto the dating scene after splitting with Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden a couple of month ago.

Let's hope she doesn't sink her teeth into the most eligable bachelor in Tinsletown...
