Although fans of Robert Pattinson didn't hear the Twilight Saga star sing on the New Moon soundtrack, Pattinson may have a career in music beyond movies if American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, has his way. The latest Robert Pattinson related rumor has it that American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, is pursuing Pattinson to sign a record deal.

According to AceShowBiz, Robert Pattinson may be jumping back into the music world, as unconfirmed reports suggest Simon Cowell is looking to sign Pattinson to a record deal. In the Robert Pattinson report, which comes via an anonymous source, there is also mention that other record companies are also pursuing Pattinson to cut an album. Apparently, as the rumor goes, a bidding war is at play to ink Robert Pattinson to a record deal. However, the report suggests Robert Pattinson is hesitant to get in with Simon Cowell, as a source revealed to The Sun. "He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with 'The X Factor' and pop,"

Although Robert Pattinson cut two songs for the Twilight soundtrack, and has expressed interest in musical endeavors, it's hard to think Pattinson would have time for a music career with so much non Twilight work on his plate.
