Are Sparkles Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on a break?

wenn2902615

Apparently, there some kind of scandal yesterday about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, which I totally missed. According to The Daily Mirror, they are currently “on a break.” Nevermind that Robert has barely taken a mere week apart from his eye-rolling, lip-biting lover in months as they have toiled away on the last Twilight films! But I assume this story originated as he begins to promote Water for Elephants, as he and Kristen will be apart more often. Thus, the “on a break” story. Now, everybody is bending over backwards to say that the story is BS and that of course Sparkles and his beloved are still glittery and true. Celebuzz’s source says they’re fine, and “They are still together…This is nothing new, they have been apart many times before.” Apart meaning distance-apart not on-a-break apart. Even LaineyGossip says there’s nothing to it. Still… the report is an interesting read:

THEY play vampire lovers on screen – but it looks like the sun may have set on their real-life affair. Yep, the odd couple – Robert Pattinson and girlfriend Kristen Stewart – are believed to have split. Or, in showbiz speak, they’re “on a break”. Right.

Apparently all the life’s been sucked out of the Twilight stars’ relationship, and they’ve been on the rocks since February at least.

At the weekend, K-Stew had been expected to attend the Country Music Awards in Las Vegas with her lover. They both had time off but, as with January’s Golden Globe Awards, R-Patz turned up on his own.

The pair are currently filming the final instalment of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn, in Vancouver. But Robert has been away from the set on a busy promotional tour for his flick with Reese Witherspoon, Water for Elephants.

Last night a studio source said: “Things have been a bit rocky for a while. They both have hectic work schedules, Rob in particular at the moment, and their phone calls were getting fewer and further between. They started to only see each other on set and began to drift apart until a general apathy developed. The excuses why they couldn’t meet up basically got weaker and weaker, and Rob figured they should officially cool things off and have some time to figure out what they each want. There have been a few tears but the pair remain friendly. Kristen is hopeful of a reconciliation once Rob has finished promotion for his latest movie. But as things stand, they’re on a break and just mates.”

Last night, a spokesperson for teen heartthrob actor Robert declined to comment on the split. The couple first separated back in October 2009, and again last year, and even when they were together on the red carpet, they always looked seriously glum. Hopefully now they’ll both start to Twilighten up for a change…

[From The Daily Mirror]

It’s interesting because I’ve actually spent some time thinking about how their actual breakup will go down. I mean, they’re not going to stay together forever, let’s face it. So when they split, how will the breakup happen, and how will the news come out? Will it start with these kinds of reports in the British tabloids, or will there be a sudden “confirmation” to People Magazine that they are no longer dating?

Between the two of them, I’d say that Robert is the clinger, the nester, the one who will simply be in a relationship because that’s who he is. I see Kristen being the one to do the dumping, probably because she found some hipster jumpoff. When will it happen? I have two guesses: it will happen a few months before they’re due to promote the last film OR they’ll wait to announce it just a short while after the promotional duties are finally done. And I do see Sparkles as the one with a broken heart, by the way. Whenever it happens, he’s going to be a bloody mess. Poor Sparkles!

    She has big hands.

  2. Patty says:

    This showmance will last til the last film comes out. It was constructed to keep the franchise in the media and both of them in the closet. The tabloids on the other hand will do their best to keep their readers(batshit crazy Robsten lovers) happy by confirming every week how happy and in love these two miserable hipster types are. Just like in the books.

    Lainey gets her info from a Kristen Stewart fan named Sarah, who pretends to have insider knowledge of Holly wood.

    By the way Robert Pattinson in all the latest interviews doesn’t sound like a love sick boy as you describe him if anything he subtly disses the franchise and ignores Kristen.

  3. geekychic says:

    i’m not interested in fantasizing “how it’s gonna go” down.
    seriously? they are not famewhoring their relationship, they are not a huge item like brangelina, nor are they full of scandals and booze like sheen…so-why should i care how their split is going to be, or when it’s going to happen? i don’t.
    as long as they are satisfied with the way they live their life, let them be.
    i mean, we always have justin, biel, ashley greene, wilde and all other fame…. to fret about.

  4. jackie says:

    @patty do you mean to tell me that Rob doesn’t like Kristen but will pretend to until late next year? Wow
    , no respect for Rob if fame and fortune are THAT important.

  5. Milan says:

    and ugly kikuyu legs.

  6. Nat says:

    I don’t think they’re in a relationshop and I don’t think they have ever been in one.
    They have been told to act as if they are in love etc… so that all little girls who loooove Twilight series are happy and go and see the next part of the series, buy the dvd and all other crap.
    I think that’s how it works.
    I just don’t see any chemistry between them.
    I think Rob is just too boring for KStew. He’s the romantic type of guy a bit of emo, imo and I don’t think he’s Kirsten’s type at all. I would see her more with….hmmmm…..someone a bit older and defo American. But that’s just my opinion

  7. Isabel says:

    I forget about Twilight when all the Twihards aren’t peeing themselves about a movie. Does this matter right now? I think it will be great publicity for them. Whenever the next one comes out…ZOMG ARE THEY TOUCHING ON THE RED CARPET? CAN THE EXES GET ALONG?

  8. w-w-wait a second… so they are actually together? with all the rumours I just got tired and thought it’s not true. I don’t care anyway. I don’t know what to believe anymore and don’t wanna try and figure anything out. their movie is stupid and neither of them has any personality.

  9. Cheyenne says:

    Gossipcop shot that one down yesterday.

    However, I agree with Nat — I don’t see any chemistry between them either. Which would make Gossipcop in essentials: you can’t end a relationship that never existed in the first place.

  10. chris says:

    I actually do think Kristen will have to be the one to break up this relationship as well. It’s very weird but I don’t think Rob would hurt her feelings by breaking up with her even if he wanted because it would be unkind. LOL. Then again, Rob also said he doesn’t understand why people who are not tied together by children cheat because you don’t have to be in the relationship. So that means if he wanted out then he would simply get out. I don’t know. I’m not them. Who knows. I hope they last because I like them together.

  11. gobo says:

    I agree. He strikes me as the type of guy who likes to be in a relationship. Poor Sparkles.

  12. Quest says:

    The second picture is a rarity with K-Stew actually smiling and looking like she can have fun rather than the usual eye-rolling, pissed-off photos she usually takes.

  13. hmmmm says:

    I can’t help it. I love Sparkles.

  14. S says:

    “WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!”

  15. geekychic says:

    at chris: i like her too. 😉
    sparkles? little less. she is more interesting than him, even if he is the charming god of interviews. ;))

  16. Kaye1 says:

    I don’t expect any announcements from them ever, because, as far as I know, they’ve never announced that they are actually together.

  17. kikay says:

    i hope they stay together, i actually like the two of them, they are not a famewhoring type.They just keep to themselves,which is very rare in hollywood.If she dont end up with rob well,Garrett Hedlund is always there,she cant go wrong with either.

  18. My Darling Pinkett says:

    I don’t buy their “relationship”. I see no love or chemistry between them. Methinks this is a showmance, my dears. As far as I know, they never confirmed they were together, there were just rumors and tabloid headlines. So when they end the charade, they won’t need to say they split, because they never said they were together. That means that, technically, their fans can’t be mad at them for leading them on. Kind of funny, actually. Also notice how you can’t get actual proof that they are a couple and in love. Real couples, (a) don’t try to hide it, and (b) you see them being affectionate and kissing and all lovey dovey at some point. There is no solid proof, just “sightings”. I think this will end once BD is finally over.

    I still think Kristen is probably a lesbian. And why are you making Rob out to be some poor innocent? Because he sparkles? Whatever is going on, he’s a part of it, and he’s a grown man. Not very smart from what I can tell, but he’s still a grown man.

  19. Angb says:

    Think they are adorable together.

  20. LolaBella says:

    Whenever I read the phrase ‘on a break’ all I can hear is Ross Geller’s voice!

    Oh Friends, how I miss you!

    I have never nor will I ever believe that this relationship is real; it is all PR for the TwiHards to continue buying into the fantasy and making Summit and Ms. Meyer even richer.

    I think Robsten (Gag) are the ones pushing for the charade to be over.

    Who will get custody of the TwiHards in the ‘divorce’? 🙄

  21. Nanea says:

    It’s sad that so many adult Twihards who should know better believe in this fauxmance and turn into rabidly foaming avengers if one dares criticize the mediocrity that is Bella and Edward and everything that goes with it.

  22. mia girl says:

    I just don’t think either of these two seem the type to agree to such a prolonged “showmance”. I read once that Summit offered Stewart 1million dollars to not cut her hair for that Joan Jett movie and she refused.
    Plus don’t you have to actually show romance in a pr setup? These two never play up their relationship or show affection in public, that I know of anyway
    It would make sense that this is pr, but for some reason I just don’t think it is.

  23. mln76 says:

    I am so not a Twihard and I think they are in a relationship. I think despite the very crappy writing in that movie there is a great chemistry between them. As far as the relationship I think they last longer than people think only because K-Stew had the same boyfriend before him for like 5 or 6 years but they’ll eventually implode when no one cares about them anymore.

  24. tapioca says:

    Anyone seriously think that the Twilight films would have made hundreds of millions if the actors playing the lead romantic couple were gay, out and proud? The screaming teenage girl audience wouldn’t stand for that, any more that they would have for Jon Knight or Lance Bass when they were at their respective boyband peaks. It’s a showmance, believe me – my Gaydar is so accurate you can calibrate scientific instruments with it!

  25. Nat says:

    Oh and I wanted to add something to my comment.

    I also think the reason why we don’t see Robsten anymore is because KStew is jealous that Sparkles is on top now because of his upcoming movie with Reese, Water for the Elephants and she hasn’t done anything “trendy” recently…
    Also I want to say that I don’t wanna sound too negative as I like watching Twilight Series on a Wed night when hubby is out 🙂 but I still think that Alexis Bledel would make a muuch better Bella. I know she’s a bit older but still and I also think she and Rob would make a really cute couple. 🙂
    ciao 🙂

  26. Mine says:

    @Patty and Nat so agree with you two.

  27. daria says:

    this is so pathetic! who cares and really who knows?? i like the books the movies not so much. what i think is funny is that people who have not read the books and think she is a bad actress from watching them have no clue that bella is actually exactly like that, all mumbly and biting her lip.

  28. Liz says:

    @Tapioca agreed!

    @Nat On the Road is a very expected movie, I read the book & I’m hoping the movie will be good too. Not a fan of either of those two, Kristen “Whiny” Stewart wouldn’t be jealous of anyone’s career because she is such a “cool” hipster & she hates hollywood.

  29. Kloops says:

    I’m in the “contractual showmance” camp. Nothing about this relationship seems real. I think theryre friends, and will remain so, but the “romance” will end after they are legally finished with all things Twilight.

  30. Cheyenne says:

    @Nanea: “Adult Twihards” sounds like the oxymoron of the decade.

  31. Hakura says:

    I really have no idea if they were ever really together, or if it was a showmance for the sake of Twilight. (If it was, it was a well-done one).

    As someone who has SWORN to NEVER give in to Twilight… I was on board with Harry Potter (books) But 1 all-encompassing-obsessive-life-eating fandom is enough for one lifetime, thanks. (Sort of gave up on the movies… I just hated the things they had to change from the book to make it work, so I stopped seeing them after 3.)

    Twilight was already so insanely popular by the time I heard of it… That I had this HUGE aversion to it. When you see something everywhere (like ‘Justin Beiber’ stuff), it just makes you want to avoid it even more.

  32. crizo says:

    i dont undestand why on his interviews he keep saying how he is and think about love about want one woman only no 3 or 4 girls he dont have sex with out love you see oeople never ask him anythyng about that so i think he was talking to kristen only on the interviews so she believe that he love her and accept him this is my opinion

  33. seri says:

    This girl has ENORMOUS hands!! Why has no one pointed this out??

  34. TXCinderella says:

    I have always thought of Robert as a polite, charming, gentleman from the interviews I have seen in the past, but it seems as though he is more negative these days. It’s like he is becoming more like Kristin in attitude.

  35. kwoww says:

    she’s a lesbian, and it would kill the twilight fans to know that, so this whole relationship has been manufactured to sell their chemisty onscreen.
    I gaurantee once the last twilight comes out and all the money is in, she’ll come out of the closet.

  36. Newbie says:

    Trust me, I’m not obsessed with this franchise. The acting is terrible and the story is over the top and convoluted. I don’t have beer vision goggles on when it comes to this couple (or ANY couple). Hollywood is full of fakers. They want us to think they’ve got it all so we’ll buy into their movies, their products, etc. However, I fail to see how this is a fauxmance. Maybe it is. Who actually knows (psst: does anyone actually KNOW on this blog if that’s true? I doubt it), but in general, you have to promote a fauxmance. These two have tried really hard to stay out of the limelight. I don’t know. I guess the whole “are they or aren’t they” thing can garner a lot of press too. They just seem to really enjoy each other’s company. I disagree about the lack of chemistry. They’ve got tons of chemistry. So much so that they couldn’t hide the fact that something was going on even when she was still with that other boyfriend of hers…

  37. Myra says:

    @kwoww

    Cosigned. I feel bad that she can’t come out now. She tried to just live her life with Nikki Reed and her people/Twilight producers/whoever shut it down.

  38. Dingles says:

    That top picture of them is hilarious.

  39. Elle bahama says:

    Thanks for pointing out the hands. Laughed myself silly!

    And I totally agree with the Alexis Bledel suggestion. I think she could have embodied that sweet, shy, intellectually wayward, gentle person with the witty interior dialogue, and a spirit of independence that I read in the book.

    Frankly, what was produced on the screen, while having a few vulnerable moments mostly resembled the story of a popular girl. Too good for the plebian things that go along with high school. What was there to empathize with? I think the way they set this story up in the movies failed the book and the true nature of the characters. It was a interesting story just not the Twilight story of Bella and Edward. Those two were far more sweet. At least that was they way that I read them.

  40. My Darling Pinkett says:

    I don’t think everyone gets how showmances work. It doesn’t involve lots of obvious affection and gushing. The whole schtick with this one (assuming that’s what this is) is to make it seem as if they ARE dating but are desperately trying to keep their relationship private. They keep the tabloids talking by saying that “sources” saw them kissing, holding hands, or even just walking very close togther. They also have “sources close to the couple” dishing on them. There doesn’t have to be photographic evidence for people to buy it. The whole point is to make people believe it without confirming it so that they can eventually back out of it and say, “No, we never dated. We’re just friends.” That way they get the publicity they want without seeming like liars. It’s all about implying something without being obvious.

    But that’s just one example of a showmance. In this version they don’t really have to pretend a whole lot because they are so “private.” By refusing to say whether or not they are dating, they let themselves off the hook AND get the fans all worked up.

    And I still fail to see the chemistry. Kristen has more chemistry with females than guys. Even Rob looks happier around Reese than he does Kristen.

  41. Shy says:

    I still don’t understand why people like LaineyGossip or here Celebitchy or others are 100% sure that they are dating. It’s not like you saw them together. Someone sad this and brother of my wife’s friend sad this… And you keep stating it as a confirmed fact. I personally will never believe it. I can’t even picture them together. So unnatural they look together. I can’t picture them go restaurant and laugh. Or watch the movie at home. And smile. Because Kristen doesn’t know how to sincerely and happy smile. While Pattinson is just boring to hell. I can’t even watch his Water for Elephants interviews. He is so uninteresting. And did I mention boring already?

  42. MaudeLebowski says:

    Ahh, she doesn’t smile because she looks horrible when she smiles. Now I get it.

  43. Camille says:

    That 2nd photo of them is gorgeous. So much pretty.

    I think after the last Twilight film is in the can, the news of their ‘breakup’ will start to filter out either when the PR stuff has started or is finished.

  44. Confuzzle says:

    God DAMN he’s fugly. 😡

  45. ordinarygirl86 says:

    No the films aren’t done yet so they are still together for now…

  46. Maureen says:

    I go alone with the posters that say this is a phony showmance.
    No, I seriously do not think that the Twilight films would have made hundreds of millions if the actors playing the lead romantic couple were gay-out and proud.
    No I also do not think they have an ounce of chemistry.
    No they never claimed to be a couple.
    The Twihard fans have been an easy crowd to fool. They never required any evidence at all.
    Stewart always look like she committed some kind of crime and scared she will get caught. I think it’s guilt from this showmance.
    If Stewart is a lesbian then it’s sad she accepted Summit’s money and to be a part of this showmance. Funny Robert Pattinson don’t seem troubled to play his role in the showmance.

  47. chickee says:

    Yah ALEXIS BLEDEL should be Bella Swan or even Snowhite or Lois Lane – damn those stupid casting agents!

  48. Newbie says:

    @MyDarlingPinkett: point taken. it DOES make sense. and I’ve not seen one of Stewart’s movies where she’s gotten it on with a girl (the runaways?) so I wouldn’t know. I haven’t really seen ANY of her movies, now that I think about it. I saw the first Twilight show and had to turn away in embarrassment for her. My kid sister and my mother, of all people, drug me to the second one and paid for my ticket. It was worse than the first. I haven’t seen the third one, thank heaven.
    I would still like to know if anyone has serious inside information about this being a fauxmance? That term is thrown around quite loosely on here, and if you’re going to state it, back it up. Or at least say it’s your opinion. That goes for any celeb who’s relationship is being called a “fauxmance.” *shrugs*

  49. jemshoes says:

    I just love that Vanity Fair shoot – such beautiful photos of KS, RP and the entire cast.

    If this story is true, who can blame either of them for wanting a break? The Twilight franchise has probably (pardon the pun!) sucked the very life out of their professional and personal lives for the last couple of years.

  50. My Darling Pinkett says:

    @Newbie Honestly, it’s hard to find anyone who has real inside info. You’ll get people who claim to know they are together, and those who say otherwise. I’m not saying I know this is a showmance, I’m just saying I think it is. I have heard rumors that people like Lainey and Ted are pretty much paid to dish about Kristen and Rob and promote the idea that they’re a couple, but again, who knows? Maybe people saying this do know for a fact. I’ve also heard that some girl is feeding them lies to spark more gossip.

    What I do know is that some fans will go to ridculous lengths to make it seem like they’re together. They photoshop fan pictures with K and R to make it seem like they’re standing next to each other, but in the real photo there’s a fangirl in between them. When you hear that they were out on a date, they’re always with at least one other person, and more often than not a whole group. But they still promote it as a great date night. Then you’ll get accounts in the tabloids that they spent New Years together and were close the whole night. Go online and you’ll read reports from people who claim they were there who say they were nowhere near each other and didn’t even kiss at midnight. Even the photos you see from that night show that they were in their own little groups. I don’t know. I guess everyone will choose what they want to believe.

    this is weird because i know for a fact they were never “together”…i know his real gf.
