Well, E!’s Celeb of the Year has been named and the winner doesn’t exactly come as a big surprise. However, this could be his last year to reign as king of E!’s annual competition.

Five weeks ago, E! kicked off their celebrity popularity battle with 64 stars. And after all those weeks of voting, it came down to a head-to-head competition between two actors who play vampires: Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame and Ian Somerhalder from The CW’s The Vampire Diaries.

And the winner is…Taylor Lautner. Just kidding. Robert Pattinson won the tournament for the third year in a row.

You can now go about your life safe in the knowledge that E! and the legion of Pattinson fans have spoken and Rob continues to reign supreme.
