I miss idly speculating about the state of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s relationship. But at some point, I had to give up the ghost. They are together. I believe it because there is literally no other reason for them to be together at this point except that they actually love each other and want to be together. I know, I know. I can’t believe it isn’t some grand conspiracy either. Kristen treated him like crap, she cheated on him, she told everyone about his armpit obsession, she begged for his forgiveness… and it worked. Instead of being a cautionary tale about a grumpy, eye-rolling trampire who got her just deserts, it became a story of how two young people worked out their issues. Shocking!
So how did they work out their issues? Well, according to In Touch, Kristen changed her ‘tude for her man. Instead of lip-biting her way through life, Kristen has been making an effort to lighten up and act kinder and sweeter. Huh.
Kristen Stewart is making big changes for her man! Robert Pattinson and Kristen became reunited in March when he returned from Australia, and they have been happier than ever since then. A new report now says that Kristen has become “lighthearted and fun” since they got back together, and she is “much more committed to Rob.”
Kristen, 22, attended the Kids Choice Awards on March 23, and she was seen laughing and hanging out with her BFF Katy Perry.
“Kristen was lighthearted and up for fun,” a source tells In Touch. “Something has definitely changed.”
She has got her man back, that’s what!
“Kristen’s being a real sweetie,” said the source. ” She’s much more available, much more committed to Rob. Kristen’s doing everything she can to make it work. She’s been a lot cooler.”
She sure has! HollywoodLife.com previously reported that Rob was so impressed with how independent and cool Kristen was while he was away working, and it looks like her brand new attitude is doing wonders for their relationship!
“Before the thing with Rupert [Sanders], Kristen played hard to get. Not anymore. She is going out of her way to prove herself.”
[From In Touch Weekly via Hollywood Life]
I believe that about playing hard to get – that’s how she always came across pre-Mini-Coopering. Now she does seem to be (ahem) putting her back into it. And I guess Rob likes the new and improved Kristen too. Good for them, I guess. And good for the Twihards, who always believed that their Robsten was unbroken. But it’s bad for the gossip-world, because this story has become kind of boring now.
Meanwhile, Life & Style is trying to make something out of Rob working with some “hot blonde models” for his new ad campaign for Dior (worth a reported $12 million). Apparently, “Rob’s shirtless while simulating a foursome with three hot blond models.” In another scene, “Rob and the model are in a swimming pool making out and he’s seen giving her a blow back with a cigarette at one stage, too.” Sources go on to say that Kristen is going to be super-pissed at the “racy” ads. I don’t know, though – Sparkles doesn’t have much raw sex appeal. He seems like a wet noodle when he’s “trying” to be sexy, so my expectations for this ad campaign are pretty low.

Just when I didn’t think it was possible – she goes all nice on us.
Do you think she’s acting?
I’d still be surprised if they stay together for good.
It’s called PR my dear, she had someone on her team yell at her to lighten up or she was going to run into some serious career trouble. If I was her manager I would have read her the riot act well before the Twilight gravy train ended.
Sparkles trying to be sexy is always hilarious! Wet noodle is a perfect description.
Her pr has been terrible up to now.
I think she finally learned to lay low – what with all the mini- coopering and homewrecking she had to do.
That plus no one is sending her on press junkets for Twilight anymore.
Thank God.
And how dumb is he? A wet noodle, indeed.
There is nothing sexy about Robert Pattinson at all. In addition to Liam Hemsworth, he is another one whose popularity I don’t get.
I still think their relationship is PR. I do believe they hooked up in the early days of Twilight and once the producers get wind of it, milked it for all it’s worth and now they still have to honor whatever contract or agreement they made. It’s the only explanation I have as to why Pattinson would stick around after her affair with the director (which honestly, in those pictures, was the first time I’ve seen her look happy).
She does need better PR. She’s in the age range of competitive actresses-Jennifer lawerence, Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Shaliane Woodley…girl is getting left in the dust by these girls, either by parts or because they have better PR.
Have not made it all the way down the comments. Am sure there’s lots of yelling going on. I do believe the couple photos are staged. All of them. Note the agencies that took the pictures. What are the coincidence of the same agency(ies) papping these guys every single time? It’s the same 2 agencies & Pop Sugar has gotten all of the exclusives. Sorry. I have nothing against these two kids, but I’m going with Blind Gossip on this one. P and R.
she’s not that good of an actress..
Then he must be pretty damn dumb.
She still knows how to smile for the camera (when she feels like it).
Rob has always wanted Kristen from the moment he met her. Sometimes there is such a think as love at first sight. Kristen didn’t know who she loved until she almost lost Rob. The talk of a contract or the dvd selling or whatever is so ludicrous it’s funny. They are together because they want to be. Hopefully Kristen loves Rob as much as he does her. How nice that would be to have a good-looking, sexy man love you like that. Some of you think Rob is not sexy or good-looking or a good actor. He is getting his experience now in the films he is choosing and is going to get better and better as he ages. Rob’s a great guy and doesn’t deserve the hateful bashing he gets on this blog. I know, if I don’t like it, then go somewhere else. Well, I don’t like it, so I will go somewhere else. You keep up the good work Rob for you have millions of fans that believe in you.
Awww…my heart just melted at the idea of Sparkles and the Trampire living happily forever after.
NOT!
The noodle and the homewrecker deserve each other.
Yes, this is not the place for you. Get to a Robsten site, stat.
Because here we’re all sort of, I don’t know – realistic?
Ahahaha wet noodle! High Five! So true…Ahhhaaa
Haha. But Kristen does look surprisingly racy doing a blow back with a cigarette (@Dakota Fanning in THE RUNAWAYS) though.
“Kristen was lighthearted and up for fun,” a source tells In Touch. “Something has definitely changed.”
Her PR-team told her to get engaged in the game if she wants to keep her career. That’s what happened. That’s why she smiles at paps now.
+1
I don’t think she is that good an actress maybe being publically shamed caused her to come down of her perch. See how long it lasts for though. They are a boring couple anyway and your right Rob P isn’t all that sexy. Now all the vampire movies have finished let’s see how many really good roles they will get.
I read a blind item about these two. She is trying to keep the contract going but he is done, that’s why we don’t see them together so often now. The contract will end in August and she wants more but he doesnt.
I read the same blind the other day. I can’t understand why they still have to fulfill their contract when the movie and dvd are both out already. But it did say he wants out badly, but she doesn’t and her PR team keeps arranging these get togethers and fan photo ops.
Think of it more as publicity for the actor and actress, rather than just selling their Twilight movie. Couples can get a lot more daily coverage and Tumblr fan love than a single person. Reminder: Bad PR also is still very much a good thing- name recognition rules in Hollywood.
As far as the blind being plausible, if they broke up too soon after DVD release, people would cry FAKE. It had to be an agreement that was believable. But, I’m 50/50, I can’t decide if they’re real or fake.
apples- No team worth their money would tell Rob to stay in this situation for merely “publicity” reasons. It’s not a mutually beneficial situation for them, Rob loses out. The only people who play up fake showmances for publicity reasons are reality stars who have nothing to invest in other than their 15 minutes of fame and the quick money that comes with it. Rob obviously wants a career beyond twilight, so that logic doesn’t work that he’s doing this for vague publicity.
Um Nina, no. Wrong. Reese Witherspoon & Jake Gyllenhaal. Taylor Swift & (pick a name). Clooney & (pick a name). Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes. Travolta & Preston. Oh, the list is endless!
just me-you just namechecked situations where bearding is apparent or else public image needed to be altered. reese had been cheated on like some frump–she got a makeover and a younger hot bf, for example. I don’t mind people thinkint that rob/k are mutually bearding,that’s at least functional. but vague publicity reasons do not add up at all.
The blind on the Blindgossip site? That’s bogus, like most of their blinds recently. Remember their recent one about a Jonas sex tape that was going to hit April 3rd or sooner? Anyone seen it yet? Exactly. Bogus.
They had another one the other day about how some celeb was going to wake up to a big scandal, that never happened either. Don’t know if they’ve just got crap sources or they’re making this crap up, but they’ve had a number of misses lately.
If Rob and Kristen were going to break up they wouldn’t do it yet. The dvd just came out. They wouldn’t want to make it look too obvious.
Oh, too funny. The last Blindgossip item I mentioned, about the star who’d wake up in the midst of a scandal (had a picture of a dude sleeping and waffles) – it’s been removed from the site! So when it became obvious it was false, they just deleted it. Just like with the supposed Jonas tape, they made up a new blind suggesting there’d been a payoff. Right.
Blind items are sketchy to begin with. But the BG site has lost any limited credibility they may have had. There is no info on whoever runs the site – how do you know it’s not some housewife in Idaho, blogging from her basement? Why do people believe something they read from a completely unknown source? It’s fun to read and speculate, sure. But don’t just blindly believe everything you read.
@AnotherAnn
IKR
A good amount of people assume that Rob/Kristen are involved in a PR relationship. So… write blind items hinting at a contractual relationship between the two. People will believe it and see it as proof that they are right.
Justin Bieber is going off the rails. Make up some BI’s to go along with that idea. The site looks like it has insider info. How many times has Ace claimed Bieber was about to enter rehab?
Another Ann – if you actually were a regular reader of BG, instead of just going there to try to disprove a random Twilight blind, you’d know that more often than not, they’ve been correct. I’ve gone there for YEARS and I cannot tell you how many items they’ve let readers in on. Why don’t you go take a walk through the “Solved” section and have a looksee at all of the BG exclusives that were called way ahead of time; then come talk to me about being wrong.
@ Just Me – if you read carefully, you’ll see that I said “most of their blinds RECENTLY”. And that the blinds I mentioned had nothing to do with Twilight.
Sure, they’ve been right on some things. There are also many that can’t be proven; they say a blind is “solved”, but there is no corroborating evidence (example – the Jonas sex tape one). And many that have been flat out wrong. Such is the nature of blind gossip. That’s my point – you can’t “blindly” believe everything you read, especially if there is no other evidence to support it. And you have no idea what the source of the information is.
“you can’t “blindly” believe everything you read..”
EXACTLY.
Color me shocked that people still believe in this fake couple. Next you’ll tell me Rachel Bilson is really going to have Hayden Christensen’s babies.
i just hope a nuclear bomb would be thrown at hollywood for no reseon …
it aint happning right ?
Fuuuck .. -__-
Wow! Have you taken your pills today?
Oh god how I used to protect this girl, but if some blind items whose most popular and obvious guesses seem to be these two are true, then this young woman’s every bit of a spoiled, delusional and abrasive brat everybody says she is. Makes me a bit sad
Supposedly their contract ends in August.
people need to look at the source of the august contract rumor-I mean we’re talking on the same level of the Psychic Friends network here. They very well could have cynical reasons for staying together, but any belief in the august contract talk is straight up ridiculous.
My thought was with Rob being in Australia he had time to think and she did too. They are back together for now.
His career in going ok, she is the one who is in trouble. Her being forgiven by Rob does help her. I’m sure her management team told her to behave in public, don’t scowl, no more middle finger. I did find it convenient in the new photos that she wraps her hand around his. Boom! Picture out to satisfy the fandom. She needs him, he doesn’t need her.
Kristen is almost 23 now, she needs to get her shit together. There’s too many actress around that will be less of a headache than her.
The Twilight movies are just awful. She got worse in Eclipse and BD just bad material. Bill C did what he could. I think Kristen got to hate filming them.
I do have to say, if my daughter behaved like this, I would be so shamed.
Hey Kaiser! Please don’t call him unsexy. *giggles* I’m already having goosebumps after reading about the ad. *swooooon* Eeeeep! I think I’m gonna faint! *faints*
I wonder if Rob would have cheated on Kristen she would have been so nice to forgive him take him back like he did with her. We will never know I guess.
Just a day before this staged show a photo from his house appeared with a blonde woman playing piano and immidately the Scowling White arranges a photo op while grabbing his arm.
Pathetic and unconvincing.
This! And any time you want to wet your noodle, Rob…. Just sayin’.
Not trying to defend or anything, but isn’t one of his sisters blonde and a musician?
You mean the pic with him a a ripped t shirt and his ass crack hanging out? Swoon. Lol!
She’s selling out, man!
She is beyond repulsive & homely. Every time they make her out to be some “sexy siren”, I feel like I’m in the Matrix or something. Like something just isn’t quite right in the world. He gets his looks back whenever he stays away from her. At this point, it’s a fact.
Their “are they / aren’t they” ambiguous relationship shit and the endless discussions online that it generates are the only thing that keeps their heads above the water of the oblivion and anonymity’s swamp, they will keep this crap as long as possible … god that everything would be so much easier if they had a real talent!
THIS THIS THIS!!!
Yup, yup, yup.
Doesn’t Rob have a band? Maybe he should take a break from acting and focus on his music. And this female person can just go off somewhere that we never have to see her face again.
if his music was worth something we would know already. I understand absolutely nothing when he sings.
Why does no one consider the possibility that these 2 actually have a real relationship, and that he loves her enough to reconcile after the cheating? Why must there always be some grand conspiracy, with absurd unlawful contracts and fake photo ops?? It is actually amusing that the people who come up with these theories think themselves so clever as not to fall for the “PR”. But actually they are sorta ridiculous for concocting bizarre explanations for very simple happenings. They are in relationship, so they are seen together at times, that’s about it.
Do I think that Kristen has purposely tried to improve her public image? Yes, of course, but that doesn’t mean her relationship isn’t real. Her career definitely took a hit after the scandal and the bad Snow White bad reviews.
Re Rob, he seems to be steering his career just fine, in the direction he chooses. Staying with Kristen is of no benefit to him professionally, so it seems logical to assume he is choosing to be with her because he wants to, regardless of the effect on his professional life. Choosing to believe he is “forced” to spend time with her is a bit insane – if there were such a “contract”, how on earth would they enforce that, since it is completely illegal?
Hey Anname, I don’t think that Rob’s career is in a fine state, and on a separate note, I think you never responded to a quote (that I posted) by Garfeld that Pattinson indeed auditioned for Spider-man…
Oops, rereading your comment – I didn’t see the quote you posted, repost if you can. I would be interested in reading it, that would be new to me. My understanding was that the timing was all wrong, and there was no way anyone would accept Edward Cullen as Peter Parker – seems an obvious assumption. Seems odd to me, no way he is suited for that role.
Re Rob’s career now (not 2010), he has spoken several times in the past year about seeking out specific directors he admires, and choosing supporting roles in interesting projects. He is not actively seeking big-studio movies right now – these are his words. Again, I am sure he know what he is doing, and realizes he needs to have a hit here and there to maintain his visibility and all that. It seems logical to assume that if the right one came along he would take it. But he has been very clear that is not his focus right now. I would be SHOCKED if he shows up in some sort of Nicholas Sparks type thing – I am sure he gets offered lots of those. He has been in a blockbuster franchise, now he needs some critical recognition, which he seems to be pursuing.
His career is in a fine state? Does anybody actually go to see his films?
I had the misfortune of trying to watch Bel Ami on cable a few weeks ago. And this is after trying to give him a chance in Water for Elephants. The verdict is in. He cannot act.
He better get used to C-level indies.
Same for Stewart.
If it weren’t for their on again/off again “keep ’em guessing” ‘relationship’ these two would already be on the trash heap of other tweener hasbeens.
I do think Rob is making some interesting choices, and focusing on respected directors and colleagues vs big franchise type movies. It’s a long term strategy, results won’t be seen until next year as these movies start coming out. To me, it shows patience and maturity to go this route, vs grabbing a lame rom com or formula movie.
I also think Anname makes a good point – it does him no good professionally to continue to be linked to Stewart, since he is clearly trying to move on from Twilight.
Anname: I’m just copying my earlier comment.
Anname: And still there were articles in decent newspapers and blogs that Pattinson indeed auditioned for Spiderman. Furthermore, if Garfield says that Pattinson auditioned, then, excuse me, I tend to believe Garfield rather than Mi.
Below listed is an exempt from Garfield’s interview in “The Independent.” (I’m positive that his manager proofread his interview…)
“Andrew Garfield: Spiderman… with a hint of Surrey” published on June 30, 2012.
He beat some of Hollywood’s biggest names to become Spider-Man. The British star tells Jonathan Crocker why it’s a dream come true
“Luck only had so much to with it. Just about every young actor in Hollywood was talked up to take to the role after Tobey Maguire stepped down: Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, Michael Cera, Aaron Johnson and Jamie Bell. “Jamie and I ended up going to dinner together two nights after we’d both screen tested,” recalls Garfield. “We were both feeling stupid as hell. And it was really nice and reassuring, comparing embarrassment!”
Garfield thought he’d botched the audition. But it wasn’t Bell or Pattinson or Radcliffe. It was him.
Another Nina – As I thought, Rob’s name was “discussed” for the role, doesn’t mean he auditioned for it or went after it in any way. He is so not suited for that role, and I think he knows it. Any big role gets names floated, but it doesn’t always indicate that the actor is interested.
@Anname, as usual, people rather stay in denial than accepting the fact that their silly theories are just not true.
And regarding on if he is sexy or not, when your definition of atractive is a dude as funny looking as Cumberbatch, well, excuse me if I don’t trust your judgement on this one. He is hot for me and so many others so let’s just agree to desagree.
“Kristin Stewart” & “sweet” – two words that never belong in the same sentence. When oh when will ho white & her doormat just go away?
Tired of hearing; Oh I say, tired of all the rebelling liberated mod-con mini-coopering, your man giving the shameful public heave ho, bon nuit ma’am.. are we..?!
“much more committed to Rob.” much more commited than banging married guys with kids behind his back. now thats something to work with.
Kristen will have to change completly if she wants to get any work, her age gap is full of actresses who have way more acting talent or way better career planning and behaviour.
The thing is, people forget that there is room for the C list or even B list in certain indie movies…. Yes, neither one of them can hack it with the Dean Dehaans and the Mia W’s…But if Kate Bosworth and even Zac Efron can land some interesting indie roles, I think these two can…it will help that they both have friends in the business. Anyway, I agree with Kaiser that they’ve both gotten boring. I do think months of public shaming and a huge hit to her career was just desserts, too, especially when you consider how men have been treated after doing the same thing.
I watched Bel Ami a couple of nights ago on Showtime. The character of Georges (Pattinson’s role) is supposed to be passionate, strong, smoldering, … you get the picture. Pattinson does his best, yelling and stomping in fight scenes and tossing around manfully in the sheets during the sex scenes. But he simply doesn’t ignite, know what I mean? Sparks, but no real fire. It’s too bad, because Natalie Tena, Christina Ricci and Uma Thurman were terrific.
Pattinson was pretty good in Cosmopolis, and he’s had his moments in other films. But with the Twilight franchise done, I think he better get used to B roles and B movies. He just doesn’t have the chops for more.
He has the same amount of sexual energy as the 40 Year Old Virgin. Which means, NONE.
He was AWFUL in Bel Ami and his sex scenes were painful to watch because HE looked like he wanted to vomit rather than touch a woman. Any woman.
The less said about his ‘acting’ the better.
Jeez Honey, I get not liking an actor, but you’re a bit intense with the insults today. I can’t work up that much vitrol for anyone.
Jeez, Anname, is Pattinson your son? Friend? Lover?
Otherwise I can’t imagine being so overinvested in an actor geared towards TEENAGERS, that you’d find a post calling out Pattinson’s lack of talent ‘vitriol.’
Twilight fans are a strange bunch, always needing to ‘protect’ their real life Edward and Bella from the big bad world.
Wow Honey, you missed my point. I am not attempting to protect anyone, I don’t really care that you don’t like him, individual tastes etc. I am just noticing how strongly you feel the need to be so insulting, multiple times, more than just expressing that you don’t like his acting (trashheap??). I can recognize that just because I don’t like an actor, it doesn’t mean that actor has NO talent and can offer nothing to anyone else.
And calling me an overinvested Twihard? Nope, just a Rob fan. I think he gets a lot of undeserved sh_t here, so I like to offer some opposition.
Agree with Honey. Whenever there’s a Robert Pattinson post, you can bet your house & all your money in the bank that Anname will be there, defending her hero. Never see her on any other posts, ever. Just the Rob posts. Every single Rob post. Someone should get a betting pool going on this. I could get rich!
Justme, I read this site most days, but Rob is the only actor I like enough to bother commenting on. So go ahead and bet on that. Not sure why that’s so entertaining for you though.
This hero business is ridiculous, btw. You know it is actually possible to just be a fan, and find discussion about him interesting.
“You know it is actually possible to just be a fan, and find discussion about him interesting.”
Yes, You would think.
I thought he did well in Bel Ami- I thought it was good, but too many gaps unless you had read the book.
I am still hopeful for his future projects- but he’s soon to be 27- hanging around this bunch of folks who act like they are 12- doesn’t reflect too well on him, tho.
Tig said – “I am still hopeful for his future projects- but he’s soon to be 27- hanging around this bunch of folks who act like they are 12- doesn’t reflect too well on him, tho. ”
This is exactly how I feel about him. I have hopes that he will get credibility as an actor. Like someone said here, the choices he is making indicate that he is in that industry for longevity. That doesn’t happen overnight. Its the KS and her hipster posse that he is hanging out with so much that makes him look undesirable. The moment he is away from her or when we hear him speak in an interview he looks fine. Its such a bittersweet thing with him being his fan. I think he is very smart but not so much when it comes to choice of his gf.
I know what you mean. He gave it his all but his all simply wasn’t enough. He looks gorgeous on film but there’s no acting talent there to back it up. I liked him, though, until he went back to KStew. Now I just feel contempt for him. You can’t respect someone who obviously has no respect for himself.
Let the two Dlisters stick together. He has lost my respect by being with this shefug with zero talent.
And then there are those of us who think that Rob can generate a nuclear reactor’s worth of heat in anything he does. He’s a wonderful and extremely capable actor and has always done a fine job, no matter the material.
I always have to shake my head at those of you who disparage his work in the “Twilight” movies. Yes, the material is puerile, infantile, badly-written or any other belittling terminology you wish to use. However, did you ever stop to think that he might have been the perfect embodiment of a character that we have come to cherish for better or worse? There are quite a few of you who demean him for his work in those movies, but who among you doesn’t have a guilty pleasure that others would term “childish” or even “stupid”? “Glass houses” and “throwing stones” anyone?
As for Kristen and Robert’s relationship, that’s their business and no one else’s, although I must admit that I scoff at those of you who insist on one conspiracy theory or another. To those of you who believe in such nonsense, I say do a little research into contract law or google “Occam’s razor” and then you’ll see why I personally believe that he’s a good man, that he forgave her for her mistakes and that they love one another…for however long that may last.
32 years and counting for me & my DH…I sincerely hope that Rob and Kristen will always be happy — together or apart.
meh, I think he is really pretty and therefore not raw sex or anything but dreamy to look at when he’s not bloated from alcohol. Most guys in hollywood rarely have raw heat sexually wise though, if you look at his peers.
I’m not buying these supposed leaks about the Dior camapign. Life and Style (as IF they had real sources) just spun a tale from the original nonsense printed on the Sun or Daily Fail or wherever it came from. What is being described doesn’t fit the Dior brand strategy at all. Plus they’re claiming its for menswear (original report was that it was for a fragrance) which begs the question – why would you be featuring people half naked in a fashion campaign? Usually, the whole point is to show the clothes, since that’s what you’re selling
I also agree that Robert wouldn’t make sense if that was the concept of these ads. If they wanted a Cassanova character, they’d pick an actor with more of that image.
This is a Contract. Rob ONLY got back together with Kristin because she demanded he fulfill the whole contract even though she publicly cheated on him.
He looks miserable with her and is doing everything apart from her. It is so obvious.
She is demanding the continuance of this fake relationship. And like usual, the public (us) is buying the whole charade, kit and kaboodle.
Oh please. Are you that dumb? Even if there was a contract (and such a thing wouldn’t be legally binding), she would have invalidated it by cheating.
I don’t think “contract for coupling” is used as a legal term in these circumstances. “Being a couple,” per se, is probably more of a subject of a marriage contract. The PR contract of “being a couple” could have been invalidated just by the subject itself, since it has an intention of deceiving someone, etc (sorry, don’t remember terminology off the top of my head, got my CPA a decade ago.) Bottom line, cheating has nothing to do with possible invalidation of the contract.
We are probably talking here about a PR agreement with various “options to exercise.” Exercising of options is subject to certain conditions, probably controlled by the studio/and or producers and I don’t know how detailed those conditions are.
I believe that Robsten phenomenon generates intense PR interest, which all participants benefit from. Ambiguity and “mystery” factor in creating their image of stars. Pattinson talked many times how “the Star” needs to be mysterious, so I believe that he could have been a willing participant in the beginning. At this stage,it could be a business arrangement or open relationship, I don’t care either way.
So these “options” include trips to Budapest (to get one airport photo), private Christmas pictures with Rob’s parents (hacked one year later), walking apart in the London underground (fan photo taken from the back)…. interesting PR strategy. WHY is this PR idea more logical than a real relationship? It is very strange thinking to me.
Anname: they could have been a couple at some stage, they could have grown out of it, they could be friends, they could have mutual friends,etc, etc. Life happens, and “at the upper level of HW” those “arrangements” seem to be part of job…
I wrote in the comment above that I have no idea how detailed the conditions are.
You believe that they are in genuine relationships – good for you and it’s your right. I have MY reasons to believe that not everything is kosher, and that’s perfectly fine for ME as well, why not?
Bottom line, it’s not the weirdest PR action, it just turned out to be one of the most efficient 🙂 At this stage – “Pattinson”, “Stewart” and “Robsten” are brands, not real people, I’m really puzzled why you take it personally…
Are you a Rob’s cousin or something? 🙂 Can you ask him to get an acting coach? And please thank him for the Robsten intrigue…
P.S. Options refer to right to pay (as in a studio may offer to pay or support a project of your choice, etc.) It’s a business project, it generates tremendous response, I think it’s extremely successful.
How can you cheat if the relationship was fake.
(Another Nina)Why would she be upset? Well you are accusing Robert Pattinson of fraud. Any fan would be upset at that.
Hi again another nina, nice to have a good convo today. I agree that everyone has their opinion, and I am under no illusion that I will change anyone’s mind. I am not setting out to convert anyone, everyone has different tastes and levels of cynicism.
I mostly comment on the fake relationship stuff, because I find this PR/fake relationship theory to be very strange, more now than ever before. His relationship with her HURTS his career now, but he is still with her…. and there is no legal way to force him to spend time with her…. logical conclusion, he is choosing to be with her.
I really don’t see this as defending Rob, more like questioning those who create elaborate scenarios and legal arrangements to explain something simple. Kinda analagous to the Rube-Goldberg machines
I agree with you 100 percent Anname. The only logical explanation is that Robert has agreed completely to what is happening. Either he has decided to break up, just not right now or he is totally going to be with her. People who are making him into a hapless victim are hilarious. I doubt anyone could tie him up using a contract. They can’t even get basketball players to honor their contracts if they feel they deserve more.
lol, I love how much power anti-Kristen fans give her. She’s like the almighty and powerful Oz in these scenarios, it’s hilarious.
you are being very naive.
And who says I am anti-kristin? you are quick to judge. I actually like her. She is attractive, and so far, i like her movies. Haven’t seen On The Road yet.
no, anna, you are for reading too many online fans who let their imaginations dip into the koolaid krazy too often. you are talking about a contract that couldn’t exist because it’s completely ass backwards in logic and scope so Rob’s team would have never let him sign it in the first place. Look, what this comes down to is people trying to absolve Rob from being with a potential a-hole. lol I don’t buy they are just in true eternal love either, most likely they have some open relationship at best. But this contract talk is just silly at this point.
You are so right Nina, Robert is stuck in a Tower under the spell of the evil witch Kristen. We all must save him. Whether they stay together or not. I am sure Robert knows what he is doing.
Huh. He didn’t look miserable in the pictures yesterday, walking down the street with her and her friends. Clearly not doing everything apart from her.
I don’t have a clue what their relationship is about. But this “he’s miserable and stuck in a contract” talk is nonsense. Time to move on to a new theory.
well, kay, Pattz himself practically never announced his relationships or commented on them (except for that article in Washington’s newspaper, I don’t remember its title and interview for women’s magazine in Italy), he is not “strictly” committing fraud. He is in “implied” relationships :-)Now Why would Anname be upset about my opinion of implied relationships between two brands????
Again with foisting this “upset” thing on me. Since when is presenting a viewpoint and responding imply that I must be upset? I simply don’t understand your thinking, and your insistence on overcomplicating matters. Silly me, I thought we were having a discussion.
I’m responding to your ally kay, who said that you were upset. That’s it. That’s why I posted reply to her separately.
Wow, I guess if you’re not a fan of Cumberbatch or Fassbender, this isn’t the place to be. I’m all for bitching at celebs but the Rob hate is pretty unwarranted. To say he can’t act is simply not true, he wouldn’t be working with esteemed directors if that we’re the case. Funny how Tatum, Hemsworth etc aren’t judged so harshly. The fact that a few of you admit you liked Rob before he took Stewart back, is baffling. Basing one’s opinion on an actor, simply because of who he dates is bizarre to me.
As for Bel Ami, it wasn’t a particularly good movie. First time directors – Rob took a chance with that movie, tried something new, no need to bash the guy for working on his craft.
Oh and I have to disagree with his ‘so called’ lack of sex appeal. Speak for yourselves… Personally I think he’s gorgeous, beautiful even.
THIS!!! 1000 times. People are so narrow minded with their believes. their thinking is, Oh, I don’t like him, that must mean NOBODY likes him. Pluh-lease! as I said before, if your definition of attractive is Cumberbatch I do not put much stock on your opinion regarding this.
Oh, thank God. I thought I was the only person who didn’t get the whole Cumberbatch thing. I can’t get past that wonky mouth of his. Nothing against him, he just does nothing for me. But unlike some of the people here, I wouldn’t go on every post about him, screeching about his looks/girlfriend/acting ability, etc.
That’s the part I don’t get. If you don’t care for someone, fine. But why would you go on every post about him, making multiple comments criticizing him? That’s not hate, that’s obsession.
@Another ann, I totally agree. I SO don’t like him so I don’t even bother visiting post where he is the main theme. Is as simple as that. I get the need to vent when something bothers you, but you can do that once and then let it be. It’s not like you go to posts of people you hate with the intention of being persuaded of your opinion.
LOL she doesn’t need to be nice to him to have him wrapped aroud her finger. For God’s sake, she publicly cheated on him and he’s still with her. She’s always treated him like crap, and Robert likes it. Guys can have very low self-esteem too. I really don’t see Rob dating an awesome girl, like the one who was rumored on the tabloids, who was educated and beautiful. It’s like when he’s with Kristen he can indulge in all the awfulness within him, hence the dirty clothes, the booze, the douchey friends and the dirty bars. No way a normal girl would be ok with that, especially a girl his age.
Too bad, because he’s wasting his best years on someone who doesn’t even return the loyalty. He could be having fun and playing the field. Dating someone the public actually likes.
I predict she will dump him.
+1
That’s been my theory, too. He could have his pick of “nice” girls who will respect him. That’s not what he wants. He obviously gets off on women who treat him like they don’t care whether he’s there or not.
Too bad.
I cannot agree on the “not sexy” thing. We all have our “types” and while he doesn’t appeal to some, he has many, many women who find him incredibly sexy.
I’m a fan, but I do agree he’s not the best actor in the world. I don’t think he’s really found the right role.
Meh, he likes her!
I don’t know much about them except for pictures, tab reports and a few interviews but she’s clearly his type! They even dress alike!
I will say that Kristen’s style is awful! She has the money to buy a decent wardrobe yet she wears thrift store shit! Whatever floats her boat!
Ooops! Didn’t mean to post that ^ as a reply! 😛
Feel stupid asking this, but what is a “blow back”? Lol
To blow the smoke from a joint from one person’s mouth into another’s.
Urban Dictionary is the Bestest 🙂
phew. glad I’m not the only one who didn’t know this. Doesn’t sound sexy at all to me 🙂
+1 ,rob was good looking in the early twilight movie ,but i have to agree he is over rated now, and has zero sex appeal ,i wouldnt waste my time on him anymore rather sit and worship Matt Bomer”,who despite bein way into his thirties, can still leave me breathless and swooned
It’s possible for her to be pleasant? I saw her on Craig Fergusen (my hero), and she was dumb as a block; couldn’t hold any semblance of a conversation at all. And zero sense of humor.
don’t say that. Kstewers will throw moldy food at you.
I really like them together and I hope they last.
Hilarious 🙂
As I said in the previous thread,if Robert would have beaten up Kristen instead ”take her back”he would be treated more seriously.Honestly,it seems we are living in such strange society that expects only bad things coming from men.I think it’s PR reconciliation to clean Kristen image,just look like the tabloids writing about her(Rob’s gf,happy couple)nobody calls her cheater and homewrecker,so this PR works.And one thing,the scandal really damage Rob’s image as heartthrob,Kristen just made him look less appealing to the women,she really succeeded.
To all those who drank the Twilight-Edward-Bella-epic-love koolaid:
The reason why so many doubt these two are the genuine article is because for four years Kristen has burnished an image for being a nasty piece of work who treated Rob like crap. Her actions never showed she truly cared about him; she pushed his hand away. (Considering her mouth and bird-flipping I never bought the shy BS.) When she was caught with Rupert – an act of cruelty and stupidity that was COMPLETELY her fault as well as Rupert’s – her reputation and career took a hit. She needed, and still needs, Rob’s forgiveness and goodwill to clean up her public persona. Cue the public PDA now as opposed to pre-Rupert. Kristen needs to win back the public at large to convince studios she’s not box office poison. Despite coming back to SWATH2 and other projects, studios execs still have to be leery about her. During her rise Kristen has shown her behind (acted out) while on the clock, whether while filming or on promos. What guarantee Universal et al. have that she will not slide back to old habits now that she got Rob back? A hand-holding photo op is not enough solid evidence of a changed woman. If they were smart, the studios would have Kristen sign a contract with a morals clause: any behavior on her part that creates a scandal, thus negatively impacting studio proceeds (e.g. box office sales)it comes out of Kristen’s salary and/or her percentage of the box office and DVD money. The clause should also apply if the studio has to spend money on damage control marketing.
As for Rob, I can’t see a man taking a woman back after she has globally humiliated him like she did. I don’t buy the epic love argument. I’m more of a mind his protecting his interests. What if all those stories about Rob creeping around on Kristen were true? It’s possible that Kristen or her team or family threaten to expose Rob’s dirt if he left her. He would be branded a hypocrite by the public and HIS image and career would be damaged.
I don’t think there’s “Rupert-level” dirt on Rob- it would have come out by now if there was.
She is a serious piece of work, tho- don’t think she’s changed. And please, who is going to watch Ho- White2 w/ o Charlize?
rupert will and her backward hat brigade and her new alleged friend blohan and her rabid twilight/krisbians fans
That’s why I don’t understand why Universal hired Kristen back for SWATH 2. She’s basically returning to the scene of the crime as it were. I don’t care how much time will pass or how many orange blimps or popcorn buckets Kristen wins; the moment the cameras roll for SWATH 2 the press, gossip or otherwise, will bring up the cheating scandal that was birthed in SWATH 1. Universal is not that powerful to be able to buy the silence of every member of the media. And Rob – you bet there will be photo ops of his visiting Kristen on set to assure fans that Robsten is unbroken. Remember, the box office for SWATH 1 did well BEFORE Kristen and Rupert were caught in the Mini-Cooper. If these two shagged they better hope no evidence comes out or it’s the end of Kristen’s career.
To Lady Mary- well, that’s 5, right? LOL!
@tig ,may i remind u ,it s the same gang of 4 partly responsible for making twilight a money machine ,we can skip blohan out of this ,she would probably steal the ticket money and use it to bail out “chatwal”:P
Meh. I used to like these two but then just found them “good for gossip” (although, I will pipe in in semi-defense of KStew when commenters act like RPattz is a virginal princess and KStew’s a dragon who is holding him against his will).
But…these two have gotten a) boring and b) a bit annoying now. It’s very likely imo that they a) had and currently have an open relationship b) a close friendship or c) he just forgave her. I tend to lean towards a), because there are and were a lot of flashing signs that point in that direction.
I didn’t really think that much of them setting up some photos after the scandal or even now…because I know some paps specialize in following certain celebs (read that back in the day in regards to Britney). Also, I know they kind of had to “control the message”. But those “coupled up” photos at lunch looked staged, as did the photos of him surfing on a semi-deserted beach. Are we really supposed to buy that a pap randomly found him 45 minutes away from his house at the beach, especially when he was surfing alone?
Meh. It’s the fact that she continues to sign on for studio films instead of strictly indies, that comes across as false. Or, as Another Nina pointed out, he tried out for Spiderman (even Andrew Garfield acknowledged that he did & I remember reading that back on Deadline a while ago)…but then makes snotty comments about big budget superhero films.
I still think they’ll be okay in the long run (both have friends in Hollywood) but neither will ever be A list actors. I’m sure some RPattz stan will chime in at this point about his upcoming work…but those roles were all leaked either right after the scandal or around Breaking Dawn 2…and it turned out that nobody was even signed on for that Cronenberg film, as that was straight from Cronenberg’s own mouth. I know Jude Law dropped out of that Herzog film and Naomi Watts said she wasn’t even sure if it was going to happen, either. His team released the news prematurely in an attempt to show that he was “not just that sparkly twilight guy.”
I think the big thing with him is that he has to separate his self from being seen as the sparkly vampire guy, and his new sci-fi film Rover and Cosmopolis are steps in the right direction. He did a lot of “pretty boy” roles beforehand (Remember Me, Water for Elephants, etc) and that, along with Twilight, kind of stereotyped him. I really don’t buy that him “being” with Kristen Stewart is going to hurt his career (there are famous actors who have hit women (Sean Penn, Laurence Fishburn, & more) and many who have cheated on their wives/girlfriends…) Hell, look at Roman Polanski’s career. In Rob’s case, he was the one who was wronged. I don’t think it helps, either…I think it just kind of “is”.
At the end of the day, celebrity gossip readers are a small percentage of the movie-going public and most won’t not see a movie because of a particular actor or actress. Look at Jack Reacher, which did all right, even after all the drama around Tom. Rob had a ton of sympathy around the time Cosmopolis came out, he wasn’t with KStew, and people were eager to see a classic Cronenberg film…and it bombed badly. Public perception isn’t necessarily tied into how a movie performs at the box office, unless an actor is playing a Marvel superhero type of role. He just needs to keep picking good roles that don’t have him playing a pretty boy.
Sort of agree with you -tho disagree w/ WFE assessment- it was a great film of a great book. I just hate that his career has for now devolved into the KS cesspool. However, that how he apparently wants it, so hope it doesn’t doom future projects to “it’s the x anniversary of Rpert grinding ” greatest hits re-doux.
I really hope you aren’t comparing Robert Pattinson to Laurence Fishburne, Roman Polanski or Sean Penn. The ONLY reason those men were able to transcend their bad behavior is that they are all immensely talented. Pattinson is not even a little bit talented. His career is all style, no substance and the only fans he’s got are the fickle kind who care more about how ‘cute’ he is and worry about his love life, than about whether he’s a good actor.
Beyond that he’s trying to court an adult audience who only see him as either the sparkling, fey, Twilight vampire, or the cuckolded boyfriend of that annoying scowling girl. Essentially – his fans don’t care about his indie, artsy films, and arthouse fans are not interested in him.
@ Tig @Buffy Summers
LOL…Of course those men are WAY more talented than him. My point was that being accepted in the film industry mostly boils down to a) talent and b) the right roles, unless a star wants to be a rom-com star or an action hero star.
I agree that his fans generally don’t care about his art house films and more about him as a person; and the art house filmgoers tend to see him as a not so talented sparkly vampire dude. Kind of a paradox.
He either needs to do films that target his already built in fan base and ditch KStew, or build up some artistic credibility by performing well in good indie films. He seems to want to do the latter, based on the film choices he’s made. I think his publicist kind of effed up though, releasing that he was involved in a film that nobody had even signed on for yet and framing it as though he was starring in another role when it was a supporting role…It was a very Blake Lively move. Who knows where he’ll be in a a few years? If his next few films do well, he could easily be an A-/B+ indie star…Personally, I could easily see both of them maintaining B or C list status by virtue of friends in the business (if Kate Bosworth and Zac Efron can snag some decent roles, they can). If he has several films like Cosmopolis though…a film that everyone anticipated because it was a return to old-school Cronenberg, he had tons of public sympathy, and there was an abundance of PR (basically, an “easy sell”)..and those films bomb, then he’s going to be in trouble.
Of course this is all PR. Both of them are learning to milk their relationship now that Twilight is OVER. And no one cares about them as credible actors so they are learning exploiting a fake love story will keep their fan base tuned into their dismal movie careers. Stewart has seen how the public and HW loves a personable talented actress like Jennifer Lawrence and that is a boon for ones career. That old look of angry starlet is not desirable when you are making millions. Pattinson needs her because he looks like the great guy who forgave his cheating girlfriend and that helps his lame film career.
I have looked on other sites and the bloom is off the rose for “Robsten”. “Twilight” has done nothing for their careers except make them tabloid fodder. (That goes for Taylor Lautner too.)
