Rob Pattinson’s bros think he should turn in his ‘Man Card’ for taking Kristen back

Dear Paparazzi: Do you think your flash is bright enough? Robert Pattinson is pale enough as is! You don’t have to use some mega-watt flash to make him look like Powder. Oh, wait: is this a Twihard Conspiracy? Are the paparazzi trying to make Rob look extra sparkly? Anyway, these are new photos of Rob arriving at LAX after what I can only imagine was an exhausting flight from Sydney, Australia. Rob had gone to Sydney solo to do some advanced promotion for Breaking Dawn Part II. He arrived in LA, still a mystery wrapped in an enigma, sautéed in confusion, seasoned with ambivalence and then coated in glitter. He is Sparkles, plain and tall. But his friends are all, “Dude, seriously! You look like such a p-ssy for getting back with that lip-biting cheater.” Seriously:

If seeing is believing, then Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are back on. Over the past few weeks the couple, who separated after she was publicly caught cheating on him in July, have been spotted at Ye Rustic Inn, Chateau Marmont and Casita del Campo in Silverlake. So how much of their reunion is for love, and how much is it to promote Breaking Dawn Part 2?

As Star previously reported, Kristen and Rob held meetings recently about getting back together to promote their movie, but what started out as a staged reunion appears increasingly convincing, especially after photos emerged of Rob kissing Kristen at her new Los Feliz mansion. It’s a development that has Rob’s friends none too pleased.

“Taking Kristen back after getting played is royally embarrassing,” says an insider close to Rob. “He is absolutely having his man card taken away. Even if this is some sham relationship, no amount of money in the world is worth having everyone in the world lose all respect for you.”

Really? Not even $14 million? That’s what they each stand to make on the back end if BDII does as well as their last one and if they each get a standard 2%.

Yes, this is the problem if Rob did just get back together with Kristen for the sake of promoting the film, or for money, or even if he just took her back because her armpit was The One. It does make him look… weak? No, that’s not it. “Weak” is not the word I want. If it’s just for PR, it makes him seem inauthentic and like he’s just as much of a poseur as Kristen. If he took her back for love, then it just seems sad. Because he actually seems like a nice, decent guy. But in my experience, it IS always the nice, decent guys who end up balls-out obsessed with the nastiest, most untrustworthy girls.

Here’s one question I do have, though – does Rob really have friends who use words like “Man Card”? That’s so Schmidt. I wonder if Rob and his friends have a Douchebag Jar.

    Instinctually I want to say yes, and agree with his friends, BUT Rob is young as well as Kristin soooo they should learn their own life lessons! As much as it would have been awesome to see him move on and with other females, he chose Kristin (sigh)

    “It IS always the nice, decent guys who end up balls-out obsessedwith the nastiest, most untrustworthy girls.”… I second that, Kaiser. Also the fact that all good girls get the bad guys who can break them in every way.
    Trust me, I have seen it in real life and I feel really pity for the one who gets hurt. The cheater later apologizes so much, emotionally blackmails you so much that at last their partners had to forgive them and take them back thinking it would not happen ever again. 🙁

  3. carrie says:

    for a RP love story(in my opinion),the cheating story is the best promotion for their movie and i like how the tabloid forgets all the pics with Robert flirting with other women in the club
    they’re probably only friends or have an open relation or it’s bullshit
    i don’t care…

    ———————————
    LOL. Poor Sparkles. It’s always the nice gullible guys and girls who end up with nasty partners. They take back cheaters believing their lies. Would rather he just be playing the PR game to help sell the film to those crazed twihards, business is business so that’s fine, many people worked hard on those shitty films. Twihards just want their fantasies continued.

    If he is back w/ her for reals it makes me sad that he is such a pushover or thinks that’s the best he can do. It’s not a gender thing, I feel this way too about women who take back cheating men. #doormat I respect Sandra Bullock, Tiger Wood’s ex-wife and Demi Moore for walking away from cheaters.

    • FreeSpiritedGirl says:

      Tiger Wood’s wife…oh man, that lady. I felt so bad for her when Tiger Wood’s Mistresses started to come out one by one. That was the most heartbreaking thing ever happened to a woman. I was glad when she hit him with his golf stick and made him run away. Lol! Now that was some badazz real woman. 🙂

    • AAS says:

      T.C.: Couldn’t have said this better myself. Well put!

    • gg says:

      I would not put Demi Moore in that list. She didn’t walk away to save her pride, he did. She’s still emotionally attached long after she’s been left on the curb.

  5. Saphana says:

    either way its weak. if they were real and he forgave her, ok he is just an idiot but if its pr and he cashes in he is the lowest of the low.

  6. CTgirl says:

    Has RP had a man card since he and KS hooked up? He’s so very . . . unmanly. And she’s so . . . manly. My theory is that they underwent some super secret identify transformation and RP became Mary Lou and KS became Dean Moriarty.

  7. Ann says:

    The story quoted is from Star magazine – ’nuff said? While all the tabloid mags have their fair share of b.s., Star is among the worst.

    I especially love this part of the quote from their so-called insider: “Even if this is some sham relationship”. Excuse me – but wouldn’t a true insider KNOW if it was a sham or not?

    In reality, it doesn’t look like his friends are all that upset. A couple of his buddies were out with him and Kristen at a private Prince concert last night. There are paparazzi pics floating around this morning.

    Try again, Star.

    • Michele says:

      This story is so fake. Rob’s closest friends Marcus Foster and Sam Bradley have been seen hanging out with both Rob and Kristen. In fact, both guys have even bonded with Kristen’s long time friends and were seen hanging out in LA with them while Rob and Kristen were away promoting BD Pt2 earlier in the week.

      Trashy tabloids like The Star know salacious stories sell better than the boring truth…Rob and Kristen are back together and so far, things between them seem to be good. Now if only those sleazy paps would leave them alone and the tabloids would stop making up lies about them.

      • gg says:

        It probably is made up. But, in my experience, guys say that kind of stuff and razz each other to their faces and behind their backs, and then next thing you know, they’re hanging out with the couple again like nothing ever happened.

    • Bugsrunny says:

      Of course Rob doesn’t have buds who use “man card” (!) in conversation. Some Star editor made up the phrase–AND the source itself. Tabloids’ lies might hit close to the truth sometime, but they’re still lies.

      • gg says:

        I love your name, Bugsrunny.

        I’ve heard the term “man card” for years though. Tommy Lee used it on tv when he went to jail for hitting Pam Anderson. Race card, man card, handicapped card, etc.

  8. GoodCapon says:

    Whether or not he took her back just for the sake of promoting their crappy film or because he was truly, madly, deeply in love with her, it’s not going to make him look good at all.

  9. Eleonor says:

    are they trying to make Rob the new Aniston??

  10. Elisabeth says:

    I hope they change the movie so when Bella wakes up as a vampire Edward is screaming at her “IS RENESMEE MINE YOU WHORE!!” then her, Edward and Jacob go on Maury for a blood test

  11. Me says:

    Promo time! He is a famewhore like her. It’s funny how now people here says: IF it’s promo… IT’S promo. They’re “back together” just for the promo and now we have a lot of pics of them. Why not before October? Why not pics of them in holidays or alone? Always in gigs and with a lot of friends. C’mon people, use your brain. Hollywood have a lot of fakers couples and a lot of PR stunt. They’re in love? LMFAO!

    • Ann says:

      The reason you don’t get celeb pictures of celebs alone is because – they were ALONE. Noone there to take a picture. 🙂

      There actually are pictures of the two of them together in private time over the last couple of years. Before this whole mess, they did tend to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible for people with a rabid fanbase like theirs. But there are pictures of them at private events like weddings, friend and family stuff, etc. They aren’t papparazi pictures and don’t make the magazines, so a lot of people never see them.

  12. Kay says:

    him and that wh*re went to a prince concert last night and he looks like such a puzzy b*tch in the Paparazzi pics. It’s so sad. He looks terrible.

    • kay says:

      that is not me. I know I don’t post often but I have not called Kristen a whore.

      I need a new name.

      originalkay

  13. Micki says:

    Two years from now noone will give a sh*t about them but the profit will stay in his bank account I suppose. That will sweeten the pain from losing his balls.
    Just don’t try the “authentic” card again boyo.

  14. marie says:

    can see it now, his friends sitting around playing poker when one of them spontaneuosly decides to play go fish. when it gets to be Rob’s turn TomStu asks:

    “Do you have a pair of balls, I’m sorry I meant a hairy pair of testes. Oh, slip of the tongue. I mean a *cough, cough* man card *cough, cough* two of hearts, yes that’s what I mean.”

    • A says:

      Considering Tom is with Sienna, he really doesn’t have much room to pass judgement on women who commit infidelity…especially since she kept carrying on after she was caught with Getty 🙂

      • marie says:

        TomStu is the only friend whose name I know..

        and Chatcat.. ha ha, that is awesome! now that, I can definitely see happening.

    • Chatcat says:

      marie…I can picture the scenario you laid out…the room is smokey, the bong and a bottle of Jägermeister sits just off to the side … after a few hands of your version of “Go Fish” Sparkles says to Tom … I gotta go take a piss and Tom reply’s’ “lift the seat back up when you’re done dude”. 🙂

  15. Jessica says:

    I don’t think it’s unmanly. I think he’s being honest and for better or worse it seems as if being with Kristen is honestly what makes him happy. They’ve been together for some years and they went through a unique experience together, so I don’t think you necessarily throw that away because of Kristen’s…I don’t even know what to call it. Hooliganism? Idiocy? Eh. Either way, if he thinks this is what makes him happy, more power, I guess. There are just so many other fish in the sea though imho.

    • gg says:

      Exactly. We all live and learn. Thank God we’re not all under a microscope like this. Because over half would wind up in the loony bin.

    • j.eyre says:

      I agree with you on this, Jessica. I know real life couples that have reunited after one cheated because they wanted to make it work. Everyone needs to make their own decisions on these matters.

  16. Mia 4S says:

    This story is a lie!

    He never had a man card to give up. 😉

    Seriously this guy needs a new team. He’s a joke and it will begin to cost him roles.

  17. A says:

    Eh. Kristen Stewart was papped hanging out with Marcus Foster, one of RPattz’s bffs, at Katy Perry’s party when RPattz was in Sydney. If he hated KStew so much, I wouldn’t see him agreeing to tolerate her when RPattz wasn’t there. Tom
    is with Sienna, who kept carrying on with a married man after she was caught…and there are more pap photos of her with him and his other friends from some concert the other day. When my friend stayed with a guy who cheated, I made my opinion clear a few times…and then I accepted it was her choice and that I had to respect, if not like it…or his friends think being publicly humilated for months taught her a lesson…Anyway, I don’t think his friends care that much because they were never in a serious, monogamous relationship in the first place IMO 🙂

    Anyone notice that when he was promoting Cosmopolis, it was okay to trot out the ice cream and indirectly reference his relationship? Now that he’s promoting Breaking Dawn, you can’t even bring KStew’s name up in reference to their relationship according to some legit Australian journalist….Or that while they were “reunited” in early September, there are a plethora of pap photos the closer it gets to Breaking Dawn? This narrative of him being some pretty, clueless princess is stupid because he obviously knows what he is doing…

    • Ann says:

      Actually, there have always been directions to journalists that he won’t answer questions about his personal life. Nothing really new here. The qualifier was in place for the Cosmopolis promo interviews too, which is why they were asked so indirectly. Kristen’s name was never used then either.

  18. eileen says:

    Um yes!! I’ve been saying that for a month! He has relinquished his rights to hold a man card-no matter his reason for getting back with her.
    What are we going to do with these boys: Prince Henry, RpAtz, Sturridge, Liam…find a nice lovely classy girl! Ok-I am done as mother hen. ;D

  19. Jenna says:

    Go Rob’s bros!

  20. freckleshoes says:

    they are young, she made a mistake and he loves her still. I totally respect his right to forgive. Don’t rate her and all the lip biting but if he loves it then why not forgive? In fact it makes me thinkof him as more of a man so big up the man card for sparkles. Anyone can break up but only a bigger person can forgive. Why all this outcry at them getting back together? Surely some forgiveness and a happy ending would make the world a better place? also if i could win the lottery too!

    • jess says:

      I agree with everything you said. I actually admire him for taking her back. He clearly doesnt care about what people think about him. I hope Kristen really did learn her lesson and treats Rob better this time around. I also think Kristen seems to be alot happier now and I dont think its for show cause we all know shes not the greatest actress out there.

    • gg says:

      Because people love to stay glued to their negativity and schadenfreude, especially addicts, or else they’re in love with their idols. Giving it up requires empathy and compassion – it’s harder to drum that up than the hating.

  21. MonicaQ says:

    I figured this would happen. This is either more fake than Nicki Minaj’s hair or dumber than when Heidi Montag opens her mouth. Either way, namaste sir.

    At 26 there’s so much, I figure open to you. I’m 27 and there’s plenty to do, plenty of people to meet. Not date because I’m married but just people. And he gets to go practically where ever he wants! “True Love” in reference to them makes me frown. It seems so manufactured I can’t even.

  22. Adeli says:

    Yeah, I don’t think his friends would say man card. Maybe, prat or nob.

  23. shewolf says:

    Maybe he is ok with taking her back because he has cheated on her before… we dont get the full story when it comes to celebrities. And rightfully so sometimes!

  24. Annie says:

    They might be back together, they might become dozens of millions of dollars richer, promo will be fine but both have lost something they’ve wanted and desired for so long, more than anything in the world, and that they thought they’d get after Twilight was over – credibility. That is gone.
    This entire drama gave them all the publicity the studio wanted but it took away their seriousness, and it took away their right to ever call themselves authentic, honest, real and, most importantly, private.
    It also took away Rob’s right to mock Edward Cullen. He’s just as obsessed and love sick as he is, except he’s after a girl who treats him like shit. In no way he’s above Twilight.

    It’s like all their game has been exposed. Every quote in an interview was a lie. There’s a game and they’re not above playing it. Fans better be aware of this.

    This entire thing might look good to some: publicity, money, success, but if you know them, you know that it’s probably the worst thing ever to them because now they can’t ever tell people again they’re too good for this franchise, this audience and the tabloids. Of course they never were too good but they liked to pretend they were and made you think they were. And now they’re eating all of their hipster words, publicly, because they ended up in a place where they had to desperately try to please the audience they grew to despise. They sold themselves. To them. “My art, my privacy, my craft, my personal life.” They have to say goodbye to these pretentious types of comments because people know better now.

    I hope they’re more humble and appreciative now that they see just how supportive those fans are. Those fans they could not wait to run away from made them rich, stood by them, defended them and it’s up to them if they remain relevant. They already know they’re worth more together than apart.

    I don’t see a break up any time soon. Mark my words.

    • honeybee says:

      “I don’t see a break up any time soon. Mark my words. ”

      I don’t either. Not necessarily because of what you said but cause Rob is a fool, a pussy, a sap. You name it.

      He has been apart from her for far longer when he was shooting movies. Now he reconciled with this hypocritical bitch within a couple of weeks???!!
      How sad and pathetic is that?

      Yeah he has it bad and he will never dump her. Let’s hope Kscrew shows her true colors yet again. But then meh- Rob will take it and ask for more…..

      Yeah he better not make fun of Edward ever again. After playing that char for 5 years, he BECAME Edward.

      • Annie says:

        He IS Edward. And I’m sure he only shat on Twilight out of embarrassment of being constantly mocked about it, but dude wanted this role and he almost played a vampire TWICE before: a movie with Elisha Cuthbert which was never made, and he auditioned for True Blood.

        As far as ever mentioning Edward as a whimp dude can forget about it now. He’s worse!

    • Jocelyn says:

      GREAT post Annie! I agree with all of it!

      They did always act above it. This scandal has pretty much exposed them as just as bad as every other celebrity who uses PR to sell themselves and their movies.

    • gg says:

      They may stay together for awhile, but nobody hardly ever stays with their first major love. They’re more obsessed with each other than anything else.

      • Ann says:

        I also think people are unrealistic to expect them to have a “normal” relationship. Their lives are anything but. As weird as it may seem to us, it may work for them. They understand the crazy they have to live with due to the fans and media, whereas another partner may not. They’ve been together during a major turning point and an insanity filled portion of their lives that few could understand, and they supported each other through it. That may not be as easy to give up as you’d think.

        I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them go their separate ways down the road either, after they graduate to a new period in their lives. They may find they don’t fit each other as well as they did before.

        They may well have had very different rules and boundaries to their relationship than what the average person would. It’s why it’s crazy for people to go on and on about how could they get back together, etc. None of us know what their relationship is like. Nor should we, really.

      • Annie says:

        I don’t think a relationship is happy and working when one of them checks out emotionally long enough to carry an affair with someone else. A relationship with all this fckery is a dysfunctional relationship. Dysfunctional means it doesn’t work.
        I think that in the belief that nobody is perfect and that love hurts, people give a pass to so many things because they’re ultimately codependent and can’t ask for the respect they deserve.

        But love only hurts when you love the wrong person. Love is not supposed to hurt.

  25. mia girl says:

    Even more embarrassing for Rob is that he has also been asked to turn in his Costco Card, his Pinkberry Pinkcard and his membership card to Gold Gym’s DudeDivision. These companies simply can no longer support his actions. They just can’t. He’s disappointed them too much in reconciling with Stewart.

    The good news is that JambaJuice, Barnes&Noble and the entire Electronic Cigarrette industry have not asked for their cards back. Along with Coca-Cola and M&M Mars, they support Rob in his professional endeavors and understand that we all make crazy mistakes in our personal lives.

  26. Jocelyn says:

    He loves her. I don’t get it. BUT it is very obvious he is in love with her and willing to take her back no matter what she does.

    I don’t think it is for the movie. The movie doesn’t need it. It will always sell itself.

    • Ann says:

      I think so too. To be honest, I think it may have attracted more attention for the movie when it looked like they were split and it could be awkward for the promo tour. Now that things seem to be back on an even keel, the drama is gone. It would have been better PR to keep them split and everyone wondering how it would be when they were having to do promo together. To have them hiding out other than for promo events, so that all the publicity surrounding them was related to the movie, not their personal lives.

  27. j.eyre says:

    The photo on my husband’s Man Card is terrible. Does anyone know where you can go to get that re-done?

  28. StaCat1 says:

    Agreed. When she does it again to him…there will be no pity-party for Rob.
    He will just look like a sucker!
    I think they will break up by early 2013- if you don’t have trust in a relationship…and you have to double check everything your partner is doing. It is just NOT going to work. Period.
