Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson finally reunite after 64 sparkly days apart

Wow, this news actually shocked me! Robert Pattinson has finished filming in Australia (he was working on The Rover) and he flew back to LA… to his girlfriend! Yes, apparently Rob and Kristen have not broken up yet! As soon as he got back to LA on Tuesday, they went out to a karaoke bar. They ran into some Twihards and one of them posted the header photo on her Instagram. So why did Rob refuse to allow Kristen to visit him? Did he just need a “break” from lip-biting and now he’s back and feeling the love?

Reunited and it feels so good!

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were seen together for the first time in 64 days on March 19.

According to an eyewitness, the duo hung out at a bar, where they posed with fans. Rob, 26, also sported a new buzzed ‘do.

“It was a mellow night. They were just hanging out with a few friends at a booth,” the onlooker exclusively tells Life & Style.

The Twilight heartthrob had been away from his longtime love filming The Rover in Australia since mid-January. After the flick wrapped earlier this week, the 26-year-old made his way back to the States.

As Life & Style previously reported, the 22-year-old actress has been doing all she can to save their relationship.

“Kristen is desperate to keep Rob,” an insider tells Life & Style. “She would do anything.”

The duo have been dating on and off since 2008 — when they first met on the set of Twilight. They briefly split over the summer after Kristen admitted to — and apologized for — having an affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders.

[From Life & Style]

Here’s how I was wrong: I truly read their 64-day separation as a significant sign that the end was near, so for that, I apologize. Here’s how I was right: does anyone else think it’s weird that the first thing they do upon reuniting after more than 2 months is go to a karaoke bar? Like, they didn’t want to spend a week in bed? Rob didn’t want to get back on LA time and hang out with Bear the dog and order takeout and chill and spend time with his girlfriend? I feel like that’s sketchy. I feel like Rob is at a place where he’s actively looking for buffers so he won’t have to deal with Kristen one-on-one. Right?

    he looks so disinterested

    • CTgirl says:

      It’s actually a relationship built around America’s favorite pastime. She’s the pitcher and he’s the catcher. It’s all really simple.

      • Jocelyn says:

        I actually think their realtionship is real and always has been. I think he is head over heels in love with her. He would have to be to take her back after she publicly humilated him.

        She clearly has always been the one who controls him and that relationship.

        When she gets bored, then it will be over. I don’t see him breaking it off.

      • bex says:

        She has him by the short and curlies. As simple as that.

      • c'est la vie says:

        I think Rob would rather drink than spend some alone time with Kristen.

        It’s sort of obvious where his priorities lie – drinking with his friends seems to be top of the list.

  2. I admit, I’m a bit releived. I actually like them. Gosh, I’m so ashamed. SMH.

    • Jennie says:

      Gurl you should be;-) I’m tired of them. It’s like never ending story.

    • mel says:

      Its ok..I like them too..though I get bashed repeatedly for it. Stay strong. 🙂

    • Gemini08 says:

      Don’t be ashamed! I like them too- especially Kristen who I think gets a bum rap. You have the right to your opinion just like anyone else on this board. And I honestly think celeb- hating is contagious. People like to rag on and pick particular celebs because it’s the popular thing to do. I tend to be contrary in the regard and start questioning why that person is hated so much. And it usually has to do with people holding celebs to different standards than they would non-famous people.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Don’t feel bad. We all have guilty pleasures. Mine is TSwift. I know *hangs head in shame too*

  3. Another Ann says:

    I read somewhere else that he came back Monday, and supposedly the bar visit was for one of their friends birthdays, so that doesn’t seem super weird. It’s not like they have to get up and go into the office for the day, you know?

    • Diana says:

      That sounds reasonable, but you know here they preffer the absurd conspiracy theories to keep entertained, so there….

      • Anname says:

        Absolutely true Diana! The theories get more elaborate as time goes on.

      • Liv says:

        There are two possibilitys:

        1. Pattinson wants to get out and keep his dignity.

        2. He’s dumb and weak and stays with Kristen.

        So I guess we all just want him to be possibility No. 1 and because of that hope he has an excuse to be with her.

      • Anname says:

        How about #3? He actually loves her and wants it to work out, even if it is harmful to his public image? I don’t agree that this makes him “dumb and weak”. It actually seems the opposite to me, it takes a lot of strength to do what you want regardless of what everyone else thinks. Who knows if they will stay together, but I think he wants to make it work.

      • JS says:

        @Liv – There’s at least one other possibility. 3. He cares about her, perhaps only as a close friend, but she desperately needs his support because she’s in a bad place personally and professionally and he can help. Given that, he isn’t willing to abandon her, even if doing so would make more sense for his career. That could be admirable or foolish depending on your point of view but it isn’t weak or dumb and so is a distinct third option.

      • Bored suburbanhousewife says:

        @JSThis the most plausible.

        For the love of God people stop talking about a “relationship contract “. No such contract would be legally binding or enforceable.”

      • Liv says:

        I actually thought that it’s a given fact that he loves her. And I stick to what I said, he has to possibilitys: staying with her or leaving her.

        And staying with her doesn’t make him look good. Not because she cheated, but because she humiliated him publicly – she wanted to get caught (kissing and dry-fucking in broad daylight at the hollywood sign, what the fuck!) and she humiliated him big time with her embarrassing public apology.

      • nina says:

        Liv–there’s more possibilities than that-life’s not so neat and tidy. Maybe they have an open relationship and her main crime was getting caught. Maybe they were having troubles at the time, and they made it through the rough patch still intact, including his dignity. I don’t know, in hollywood, monogamy is not the biggest priority for sustaining relationships there.

      • Diana says:

        People will see what they want to see regardles of any evidence or whatever. I don’t like her anymore for what she did, but he has his reasons for staying with her. I’m HIS fan not THEIRS or HERS, so I take from this “news” he’s back in L.A. taking some well deserved free time and getting ready for the next project. The rest doesn’t matter.

      • Gemini08 says:

        Agreed. I especially love the conspiracy theory that their entire relationship is a vast Hollywood conspiracy- lol!

  4. Launicaangelina says:

    Maybe they used the time apart to simply stay apart. Now that he’s home, they’ll feel things out and see what to do next about their relationship. They’ll probably break up in a month or two, after being back in the routine.

    • gg says:

      Yep, this.

    • Hannah says:

      He leaves in 3 weeks to film another project, according to his latest interview. So when’s he’s back, it’ll be this all over gain. It might take years for them to break up, as long as he lives in LA, he’ll never have the will power to stay away from her. Unless, either one meets and falls in love with someone else, I don’t seee it happeneing any time soon.

  5. Heather says:

    Answer to last paragraph: Because its not a real relationship! It’s PR! Kaiser, is there a reason for thinking they’re not contractually obligated to each other until probably sometime soon?

    • Kcarp says:

      I agree I do not think it is real either. I think they pretended for the twidiots all these years. They are probably friends who got together after he came back from out of town. End of story. .

    • Justyna says:

      It made sense last year but why would he or his team still want (him) to be with her for PR purposes when this relationship does nothing but damage to his image? Twilight is over so there’s nothing to promote, he wants to be seen as a serious actor but her constant presence reminds people about the Twilight disaster and taking her back makes him look like a self-hating wimp with no spine. People, even the usual haters, were rooting for him after the Mini-Cooper gate. Comments sections on all the gossip sites were filled with positive comments about him – like he magically became more handsome, likeable and talented ovenight. When he took her back the bubble burst and now he is back to be same old Sparkles but with more reasons to be laughed at. Braking up with her for good would be the best PR move for him.

      • Anname says:

        Yes, this is exactly why I cannot understand why anyone would believe this PR theory (it NEVER made sense to me). Their relationship does not help his career at all. Yet he still chooses to stay with her – and not discuss it.

    • Sherry says:

      There is a blind gossip item that says even though the DVD is out, their contract doesn’t expire until August. Even though he reportedly wants out, she is pushing for the public relationship to continue for her career’s sake. Because he genuinely likes her, he’s willing to see the contract through. The blind said they will break up between now and August.

      And for those who think those contracts don’t exist, you are being very naive. It’s show business and they have contracts for everything.

      • nina says:

        that blind item was sent in by an unbalanced twihard who doesn’t understand basic sag rules for one. lol

      • Bored suburbanhousewife says:

        Sherry, Heather, et al., –I don’t know your age or education but I am an attorney and no such “relationship contract” would be legally binding or enforceable. There are probably many pages of contracts specifying requirements such as a certain number of public appearances to promote the film, licensing of images and photographs to be used for same, but no contractually defined pretend romance. Further, any service contract of the nature you describe would be akin to indentured personal servitude which is illegal in most countries.

        There may be informal understandings between celebrities themselves to pretend to be lovers, but they don’t look like they last longer than a few months at the longest. There is not written contract in the legal sense and no such contract would be upheld by a court. And in any personal service contract such as a singing engagement or a doctor performing surgery, the law specifically prohibits “specific performance” as a remedy for contractual breach. That means no one can be forced to perform a personal service, though they may be liable for compensatory damages. Of course, the complaining party is required to take action to ” mitigate” the breach as well– try to find a replacement lead soprano for the opera, e.g.
        Likewise, Rob could refuse to appear at a premiere he had contractually agreed to, the studio would be required to mitigate (e.g., fly in Taylor and Ashlee or Peter) but Robert would only be liable for the financial harm his absence would impose, which the studio would have the burden of proving. This could be quite difficult.

        So please stop imagining that these two or Clooney-Keibler have a ” contract” in the legal sense of the term from which neither may escape.

      • Sherry says:

        @bored – I am a 50 year old writer with a college degree who has been married to a trial attorney for 17 years. Yes, they can draw up a “contract” stating that the two make appearances and appear to maintain a public relationship in order to benefit the franchise. The contract would not stipulate they have sex, or do anything other than give the appearance they are in a relationship.

        Giving the appearance of being a couple and forcing someone to actually be a couple are two entirely different things.

      • The Original G says:

        Who says anyone is being forced? A contract is a mutual agreement.

        All kinds of monetary bonuses or payments can be made or withheld based on performance of promotional duties. The problem is that Kristen got caught Mini-Coopering.

      • Sherry says:

        @Original G – Exactly! Summit can put all kinds of bonuses and monetary extras in the acting contracts regarding behavior to ensure the success of the franchise. The way this blind was worded, Summit did not know exactly when the final installment of the Twilight series would be released and built in a cushion for themselves. I do believe she and Rob have a great friendship, but I have never believed they were this great love story.

        It was monetarily beneficial for Summit, Rob and Kristen to lead everyone into thinking they were a super-couple.

        If they are still together in September, I will be more than happy to return here and eat humble pie. But I don’t think I’ll have to.

    • Lyn says:

      Yeah, it seems totally fake to me too.

    • Zelda Fitzgerald says:

      Bearding arrangements can and do last years. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? Ring any bells?

      • Another Ann says:

        That’s something else. That’s a mutual personal agreement between two people – not a studio mandated contract (which is illegal, btw). The idea that a movie studio can force two people to be in a relationship for 4 odd years is absurd. It’s become an urban legend, it’s been repeated so often, but it doesn’t make it true.

  6. marie says:

    reunited cause it’s understood.. damnit, this song will be stuck in my head for the next hour.

    meh, maybe they’re no longer friends with benefits, maybe they just went back to friends.. or maybe they’re still doin it. I dunno, I don’t care..(I’m still a fan of the comments though, cause they’re funny)

    • Lantana says:

      Thanks for reminding me that was Peaches & Cream. I didn’t get the reference at first. Kind of reminds me of slow dancing in 7th grade. I feel meh about them getting back together, but I too will be singing “Reunited” for awhile. At least it’s better than “My Sharona” (you’re welcome)

  7. Tinypixie says:

    People still believe they are a couple?

  8. Andrea says:

    He seems like he doesn’t want to be there. And she seems like she loves it!!! Is it just me or does it look a bit desperate in “look at me” way?

    I cant believe that he puts up with this!!!!

    • Wendy says:

      I’ve never seen her look so happy in a picture before. Maybe she’s excited that there is now picture proof that her and Rob are ok?? He doesn’t look happy though.

    • B says:

      She is so embarrassing.

  9. Mia 4S says:

    Wow I was all set for the gossip and then it hit me…these two are boring now. No big anticipated franchise…just nothing, dull. They better keep the gossip going if they want to stay relevant because on the acting front? Boring.

    Oh well, good like Sparkles and Scowley, I’ll be back if you ever do anything interesting. I’m not holding my breath. 😉

  10. Ali says:

    Ahhhh how sweet! Glad they are back together!

  11. Lolly says:

    They both need to disappear. So sick of these talentless mouth breathers. & how fug is Rob? His looks really depends on his hair

  12. phaedra says:

    According to a blind item his contract ends in August. He can’t get out of it sooner, so he needs to be photographed with her. He doesn’t look very happy though, whereas a year ago he was smitten with her while she couln’t be bothered by him…

    • nina says:

      there’s a crazy rob fan who has a blog who’s made the shittiest predictions and insider leaks possible-and her initial date was march for the contract stopping, so yeah…same old twihard madness.

  13. Ariel says:

    What contract? The DVD came out already, I think. Deal with reality to the people still screaming PR.Hey, they are young and it won’t last anyway.Rob is a dumb ass and he took her back.There is no longer a film to promote or DVD and what is a blind item? Something made up.

    • Erinn says:

      Or the contract was long enough so that the two of them didn’t break up the day after the DVD is released and make it obvious that it was a setup.

      • dori says:

        they don’t need a contract to make them realize that would be a dumb move. I think people just cling to contract notions because they just don’t like the thought of them together for various reasons. At this point, it’s nonsensical to think they are under contract. They are probably together and have a somewhat messy relationship like most 20 somethings.

  14. kingkayski says:

    After flying 14 to 18 hrs ,i’m sure asking to be photograph is the first thing on his mind,hence the enthusiastic look.

  15. Tig says:

    Wow CBers are over this-other sites are better and funnier and more comments!

    IMO- Rob playing someone mentally impaired as in “The Rover” must not be that much of a stretch. To willingly put himself back in this mess- according to one site, he wasn’t crazy about taking the photo, but Ms Private said “c’mon, don’t be an a$$hole”- and so he does as told.

    He looks miserable and she looks at least as happy as she did grinding on Rupert.

    Hope he keeps those Twi $$ bec he’s going to need a bunch of therapy once this mess is over.

  16. Deb says:

    A douchebag & a dirty ho, now there’s an epic twosome if ever I saw one. Don’t these two ever get tired of their pretentious selves? God knows the rest of the world is sick to death of them.

    • Abby says:

      Wow when has rob ever been caught being a douchebag? He seems like a really nice guy that needs a shower sometimes. Did I miss that in the gossip somewhere?

    • Gemini08 says:

      You don’t know any either of these people personally so to use words like that to describes is not only ridiculous but out of touch with reality. Take a deep breath.

    • B says:

      I agree Kstew is a dirty ho.

  17. Ashley says:

    Honestly. this story is played out. They are boring now and now that the twilight franchise is over does anyone actually believe they will last as actors? I think both are very limited as actors and i am not sure they can shake the association with twilight and be taken seriously.

    • Anname says:

      Rob doesn’t want the Twilight-type spotlight. He has several interesting indie projects this year -he is not chasing the blockbusters at this point. I think he will forge the type of career he wants, quirky independents with some big studio movies thrown in there. Whether he with Kristen or not is irrelevent to his career, imo.

      • Tig says:

        Have to respectfully disagree- Rob is now at at point of being Bennifer 2.0- see how much good that did Ben Affleck’s career? He’s going great now, but it was a long slog back.

      • Anname says:

        Still think Rob avoids that sort of press attention. He does not discuss his private life (never has), that is kind of the opposite of Bennifer, don’t you think?
        With Bennifer, we got tons of pictures of them out and about, big network interviews with the both of them, red carpets together….on and on. With Rob, we get an occasional fan photo, a few hacked private facebook photos, and some random pap pics. Not quite the same.

      • megsie says:

        @Tig – I’d like to think Pattinson can crawl out of the Twilight hole. There’s the potential for A list movie star in there somewhere imo. But in order to rehabilitate himself in the classic Bennifer2 fashion, he’ll need to find himself a Jen Garner. Right now it appears he hasn’t worked up the nerve to leave his Jen Lopez.

      • Ashley says:

        he can be in as many quirky indies he want but if he cant act that doesnt translate into a bonafide career. right now he gets offers because he is the twilight boy, financing for people like cronenberg is getting tougher so thats why you see him use someone like rob. its all about the financing. but if the twilight fanbase doesnt go to see these movies, and lets face it rob has had very little critical or commercial success outside of the twilight franchise, those directors and producers will just move on to the next “hot” young actor.

      • Anname says:

        Ashley, he clearly knows this and it attempting to build some critical success. I hope he makes it.

      • another nina says:

        Anname – yes, Rob does indeed chase blockbusters (such as Spiderman, etc.) but he could not get it…Hence, he took what went his way in Jan-Feb of 2012 and pretty much booked 2013 to play supporting roles. It’s very easy to go from leads to supporting but it’s a huge effort to turn this trend around.
        BTW, he gives all this information himself in his interviews, so he is not in denial, but some of his fans obviously are.
        Finally, according to Rob’s interviews, it is very unfortunate that stars of today have all but lost an all-important enigma factor. So, being in the high-profile relationship AND refusing talking about it is a very interesting and calculated PR policy, which obviously pays off – ’cause the only reason they get any mention in the press is their relationships.

      • Anname says:

        Nina, you really think Rob wanted Spiderman?? He jokes about these things. Remember the whole Finnick stuff – he does not want to perpetuate the franchise/heart throb stuff.

        I know he did mention one role he wanted that he didn’t get because he is too associated with Twilight, so I am sure it happens. But he is decidedly taking his career in a different direction. I am sure he is FULLY aware he needs to have a studio hit here and there to stay A-list. I think he knows what he is doing and where he wants to go.

        And I agree that he is choosing to keep his private life private, because it hurts his career if people know too much about him. That however doesn’t make it a diabolical fake relationship strategy however, just personal/private.

      • another nina says:

        Anname: I read an article in either HW Reporter or Deadline, which casually mentioned that Pattinson indeed auditioned for Spiderman…I tend to believe them.

      • Mi says:

        @another nina,Rob couldn’t auditioned for Spiderman,because of schedule conflict;he was filming BD1 and BD2 when A.Garfirld had started shooting Spiderman(December 2010)

      • Anname says:

        Flat out wrong with that one Nina, no reputable source said Rob auditioned for Spiderman. It wouldn’t have even been possible for him to film it (timing-as Mi says), much less would he have wanted to be both Edward Cullen and Spiderman at the same time.

      • another nina says:

        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.

    • aquarius64 says:

      Go on HollywoodLife and see the up-to-the-minute “Robsten” outings reported since his return. Kristen’s team is really pushing “Robsten is unbroken”. Pictures of a private b-day party are being released (these are not fan pics: they are taken by Kristen and her assistant.) And you wonder why people think this is a fauxmance?

      • Another Ann says:

        Hollywood Life? Who on earth believes anything they post? They’re a joke. Nobody goes to them with information. They make up whatever nonsense they post using other ridiculous tabloid articles and comments from Twitter.
        If a publicist did want to post information, Hollywood Lies is one of the last outlets they’d go to.

        Hollywood Life posts about “Robsten” (ugh) becuase it generates hits. Not because they get any inside information. They’ll post multiple articles a day, about whatever fiction they can concoct, half of which contradict each other. It’s hilarious, really.

  18. Anname says:

    Jeez people, they are just out with friends at a bar. No contract, no PR, no epicness… no one really knows what their relationship status is, maybe they aren’t even sure at this point. I don’t get these insults slung at them for daring to be seen together, or “being boring”? How exactly does this photo become offensive to some?
    I like seeing photos of Rob, whether Kristen is with him or not.

    • Diana says:

      Anname,the thing is, people are always counting on their stupid theories to become true, so when a photo shows up contradicting whatever it was they thought was gonna happen, they don’t like that very much. People need to chill and let it roll, whether they break up or stay together the world will keep going round and round.

      • Anname says:

        Very true, it is so bizarre to me that people would come up with crazier and crazier explanations for why they would show up together somewhere, rather than believe they might actually be a real couple.

    • karmasabiatch! says:

      Anname, I’m not a KSkank fan at all.

      But in order to be one of the “cool kids” on CB, you have to call KS a trampier, talk about how greasy she looks and imply that she’s a lesbian (like, that’s supposed to be an insult?!) to be one of the “cool kids” here.

      Anything that makes sense, applies to most normal human relationships or contradicts the “burn KS at the stake!!” rants is simply not acceptable. You’re making waayyy too much sense.

      • Anname says:

        Yes, I was yelled at for “worshiping” Kristen when I didn’t call her ugly names (still don’t like to see the nastiness). There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground allowed. I think Kristen needs to grow up and figure herself out, but as a fan of Rob, I hope she makes him happy.

      • Diana says:

        I think one can be objective. I don’t like the treatment some people regale some celebrities and the name calling just for the sake of name calling it’s just wrong, but I refuse to shut my eyes just cuz he’s with her. Right now she is a mess but I can focuse on the things that are her own fault and she could easyly address and change. I will critique her on those.

  19. Harpreet says:

    I will always maintain this. This is one of those cases where Rob is more into Kristen than she is into him.

    If anyone wants to break-up, it will be Kristen.

  20. Scarlet Pimpernel says:

    This is a fauxmance. Even they look bored with the situation.

  21. aquarius64 says:

    This looks like a hostage video. Rob looks like he wishes to be any place else but there. And when did Kristen ever hammed it up for the cameras, even a fan’s? Sounds like Kristen (and her PR team) need to convince the world Rob did forgive her and they are still together. If they behaved and went about their business before the Mini-Cooper Makeout with the Married Man, I would be believe the reunion is genuine. But things are definitely different. Notice when Kristen is papped she is not flipping the bird. She is more civil to the paps; for one of their own brought her down thanks to those 50+ cheating pics still on the Internet. Her outings with Taylor Lautner make more sense now. Being seen with a long-time well-known male friend won’t raise too much suspicion (although I had my doubts given past allegations about the two). More fan pics going out? Her team really wants to sell she’s still popular. But all this effort, to me, still reeks of fear from Team Kristen: if Rob leaves her it’s the end of her career because the whole world will know WHY. It just looks like these two are trapped in this fantasy they sold to starry-eyed teen girls and housewives. Granted they got rich for it, but now it’s a Faustian deal they can’t break.

    • Wendy says:

      I completely agree with this comment. His career is booming right now as he is fully booked this year filming. She’s not doing anything right now and her PR team is freaking out. Plus all the bad press and her bad attitude turns off the public. Her attitude seems to have gotten slightly better regarding photos for paps and with fans. I think that it’s all the work of her PR team trying to keep her relevant.

      He looks like this in most fan pics. Just check out some of the Twihard sites. And I find your theory to be fantastical in the extreme

    • kay says:

      It makes sense that Taylor and Robert would support Kristen, after all when Rob and Taylor have a movie out they will want Kristen’s fans to support them. Rob, Kristen and Taylor all made 830 million together. Rob can’t depend on the people at celebitchy on seeing his movies. You have all ridiculed Rob as an actor and the twilight movies.It is not in either Rob or Kristen best interest to be nasty to each other even when they do break up.

      • aquarius64 says:

        Rob, Kristen and Taylor got 1.2% of 830 million box office from Breaking Dawn 2; that’s all they made.

        Kristen & Rob did not support Taylor when his movie Abduction premiered. And Taylor was not there for Rob’s Water for Elephants.

        Kristen may have been instrumental in securing Rob’s and Taylor’s slots in the franchise, but her power is not so great now since the cheating scandal. What studio is going to take a chance with her, given that her personal nonsense could damage a film’s box office? Universal may have hired her back for Snow White but no start date for filming yet. Why? Could it be the cheating scandal is still fresh in everyone’s mind, and the scandal will be brought up with every story about the sequel? It’s not unreasonable because the first Snow White movie was the scene of the crime, and the crime scene was moved to a Mini-Cooper.

      • kay says:

        My point is that BD2 made 800 milliion dollars. Whoever has a movie out be it Rob, Kristen or Taylor will want most of the fans from Twlight to support their movie. Rob will gain nothing from being nasty to Kristen in public (even though she did him wrong), all that will do is split up the fandom or turn people off in the fandom.

        Being that you are from Celebitchy you don’t understand this, most twilight fans don’t want Rob and Kristen being nasty to each other no matter what Kristen has done. So your dream of Rob kicking Kristen to the curb and ignoring her probably won’t come true. When they break up they will probably be nice about it. Because Twlight fans are the only fans Rob can count on. Rob can’t count on Celebitchy fans coming to see his movies.

      • Mi says:

        The problem is that Twi fans don’t care about Rob’s movies outside of Twilight.They don’t support R-rated dramas with limited realised and Rob is not going to play in next PG-13 fantasy movie.He needs general public,also Celebitchy ladies:)

      • kay says:

        My point is that he not going piss off the twihards in order to get fans like you who may or may not see his movie. Getting new fans that see adult movies also will take some time.

      • aquarius64 says:

        “My point is that he not going piss off the twihards in order to get fans like you who may or may not see his movie.” So basically the three of them are slaves to this fanbase. Twihards are albatrosses around the necks of their careers; they are not taken seriously as actors because of it. It explains why Rob is taking all these jobs – he wants to get as far away from them as possible. He’s going to be 30 in about four years. Rob, Kristen and Taylor have to prove they are not only tabloid fodder. (They got a long way to go.)

      • kay says:

        Twlight is over. Whether the three leads are taken seriously or not will depend on future work. Rob does not have to be a slave to the twihards, he just can’t crap all over Kristen as you would like him to do because it would not be beneficial to him. It would be stupid to alienate twlight fans just to please people like you.

  22. Tessa says:

    Now all Kristen needs to do is stick her tongue between her fingers and she’ll really make this fanpic special. Geez oh man!

  23. lady mary. says:

    Everything is possible in TwiLand ,my guess is they are addicted to each other ,very tough to move apart frm each other ,even though their faults in their character are so visible ,well good for them ,thas all one can say
    ps :kstew looks jublious,nvr seen her so animated

  24. mucha says:

    It amazes me how much you want these people to break up. I’m a fan, yes, but ultimately I don’t care if they break up. Personally I think Kristen, as a young girl is in desperate need of some alone time (as in not being in a relationship).
    Besides if the those blind vices about Rob being with other women while he was already with Kristen are true, I’m thinking this whole infidelity thing isn’t such a big deal media is making it out to be.

  25. Freya says:

    Sorry, Taylor Lautner! Rob’s back! Edward&Bella sell more than Jacob&Bella. You’re out, dude!

  26. Lb says:

    The defense of this relationship is more entertaining than the relationship itself. Will anyone be shocked when one dumps the other this year?

  27. Hannah says:

    It’s cracking me up that Kristen all of a sudden is so nice and happy to pose with her fans when she couldn’t be bothered to sign for any of the ones who waited in the cold for hours at her OTR premiere.
    Anyway, I don’t think they’re PR (even though they have used their relationship for publicity before and even more so after the scandal). But I also don’t think it’s anything like what shippers make it out to be. There’s nothing cute, beautiful, perfect or epic about their relationship – it’s as f*ed up as they come. And I have no doubt it WILL END eventually.

    • Another Ann says:

      What are you talking about? Kristen has her faults to be sure, and will certainly try to blow off the paps, but she’s always signed for fans at premieres. Perhaps there was a security situation at the one you are referring to, or there was a time constraint? She is typically pretty nice to fans and does take pictures with them from just about all accounts.

      • Hannah says:

        There’s plently of accounts where she was a bitch as well. And before the scandal she rarely ever posed with Rob in the same fan pic. She also didn’t sign for fans at GMA or the Today Show. But whatever helps you keep her on her pedestal, I guess.

  28. Gemini08 says:

    I don’t think it’s weird at all. They’ve been together for the better part of 4 years! I don’t know many couples who after that amount of time together “spend all day in bed”. I don’t care how long they’ve been apart. That’s honeymoon phase behavior.

  29. Zelda Fitzgerald says:

    I can’t believe people still think they are a real couple. Ridiculous tripe.

    The last photo is Snow White after she bit that apple, right?

  32. Darlene says:

    Did anyone read this?
    http://blindgossip.com/?p=51337
    “We’ve talked several times about how this very famous couple was assembled in a publicist’s office. We may have also mentioned that the relationship would end after the DVD was released. Well, the break up is coming, and we have more precise information for you on the timing!

    It will definitely happen before the end of August 2013.

    Why August? Well, when the contract was originally written several years ago, the exact dates of the film’s release and the DVD release were not known. While they approximated that the entire promotional campaign would be finished by the end of Spring 2013, the production company padded in three additional months to the “personal relationship” contract just to be sure. The contract ends in August of 2013.

    The film and DVD are already out, and the promotion is essentially done, so the break up (which will be very amicable) will happen any time between now and August with the consent of both parties.

    Will you see still them together from now until the breakup? Yes, but rarely. The genuine friendship that the actor and actress once shared peaked a long time ago – and has been going downhill over the past few months – so they are now spending as little time together as humanly possible. They are done.”

    • Amory says:

      Yes, I saw it, and I agree. He looks most unhappy, and her smile is a bit bizarre.

      If they are a real couple, he’s an idiot. If they are a fake couple, they both deserve all the crap they get.

      If it were not for the romance drama, I don’t think anyone would be talking about them. She is not working and is a lousy actress and his new movies haven’t come out yet, so too soon to see if he can actually act.

      I guess this is all they have.

      • Original A says:

        The most a contract could do is legally obligate them to promote the film together by doing joint interviews, etc. Besides, even if such a thing existed she would have invalidated it by being caught with another man. Most likely scenario is a) he forgave her & they are together b) they are just friends or c) they were always just friends of in a open relationship.

    • dori says:

      there’s an “infamous” fan in the rob community who keeps a blog with delusions of insider grandeur, and either she sent in this particular August deadline tip, or else one of her disciples did. First she said March was the deadline for the contract to be up, then miraculausly when March came around, she got “new intel” that it was moved up to August. Now her and her followers count down the days until that month. She’s nuts, don’t believe a word of it.

      • MissA says:

  34. snowday says:

    Let me see if I can list all the adjectives that come to mind when I see Rob with the lip-bitey source of his public humiliation: weak, spineless, dumb, dumb as hell, idiotic, stupid.

    He can’t possibly value his career either because as long as he’s with her, he’ll never be taken seriously. She’s addicted to fame (hence the high-power, highly active PR team) and he’s just a pawn in her game.

    I will laugh my ass off when she dumps him for the next guy (or girl), which she will at some point. He’s pathetic.

    It is shocking to see how KS is really playing the game now- ms ” I would never sell my relationship” is putting it out there now.

    The sad thing to me is that Rob has potential- he looks great on camera and isn’t afraid to try new roles. However, hanging on to this relay disaster may cost him roles. No producer or director wants his work co- opted with this crazy BS- do you think Cronenberg appreciated having to talk about it at all when Cosmopolis came out? Yet he had to.

    I just hope the one with Carrie Mulligan gets made- that sounds great.hi

    • Another Ann says:

      One problem with your little theory – Cronenberg has already cast Robert in his next movie. So, it couldn’t have bothered him that much.

  43. Saddie says:

    Unless I feel the love in a new photo with them holding each other, Rob is done with this game. He shows no signs of actually wanting to be there, in her company. He’s playing along to honor his contract agreement but he looks so bored. I like that H-Wood Life immediately posted an article about how good their chemistry is??? But he’s starting to look like he can’t stand to be near her – it’s over and he wants out. He definitely shows allot of distance in these pics, which is a good sign he’s moving on, healing from all the hurt she put upon him. After all she did play him and I’m not sure she respects him. She’s broken his heart & trust for good. Having been away, he’s now starting to heal,from all the hurt she caused him. Besides KS looks like she’s tap dancing these past months to remain currrent. She sure is working it.

    • Original A says:

      Hollywood Life has also had them
      broken up and screwing other people and everything else (contract, drugs) under the sun. They pander to twi-hards for hits but are hardly a flattering PR outlet. Just Jared, People, and US weekly are what a publicist would use before Hollywood Life. Also, a contract couldn’t legally make them do anything besides joint red carpet appearances and if one existed (which wouldn’t be legally binding) she would have invalidated it by mini cooper gate.

  44. Saddie says:

    The evidence is clear after not being nominated for MTV “Best Kiss”.
    H-Wood media knows they are done and it’s over.

    • dori says:

      they nominated taylor lautner though, who is much less relevant. Why? Cause he obviously agreed to show up. You honestly think if Kristen and Rob agreed to show up, they still wouldn’t nominate them? Of course they would, she cheated on him allegedly and it would be must-see tv to watch them squirm at the podium. the only reason they didn’t get nominated is cuase they didn’t want to be —for the very reason mtv would have loved to nominate them post-scandal.

      • Zelda Fitzgerald says:

        Keep believing that. Oh, Twilight wasn’t nominated because they didn’t want to be. Oh my sides!

      • Anname says:

        If MTV had Rob and Kristen win best kiss again, the interest and reporting would have been HUGE. Zelda, you are foolish if you think that wouldn’t have been a ratings win for MTV. I don’t think Rob and Kristen had ANY interest in appearing at that event.

      • Zelda Fitzgerald says:

        MTV didn’t change their entire awards show (by nominating actual good movies, a throw back to the 90s) because Pattinson and Stewart wouldn’t show up. Are you kidding me? You think they have that kind of pull?

        And this whole fanfiction that they wouldn’t show up is just that. Obviously MTV decided to go in a totally different direction and court a different demographic because the Twilight fad in done. It was done last year when they were only nominated for two awards and it’s stick-a-fork-in-it DONE this year with 0 nominations.

        And Kristen showed up last year, so what was the excuse for the lack of noms then?

      • Anname says:

        Zelda, try to look beyond your blind hatred of all things Twilight. Do you really think a Rob/Kristen best kiss appearance would not have been of great interest to MTV? And would have not generated a ton of interest for their awards show?
        MTV is going for the serious movies for their serious awards (best of luck with that!). Best kiss and best shirtless scene aren’t reallly included in that are they -silly awards for silly movies are still part of the show.

      • lala says:

        zelda-you do realize the mtv awards are a shitty event that can rarely get stars to even COME at this point, right? Dude, they made up a stupid nomination for taylor lautner and his abs just so he’d have an excuse to come to the ceremony! they would have loved to have edward and post-skank scandal bella have to go up and be awkward and possibly kiss and have everyone watch. Of course they would have. there’s no way in hell either of them would have subjected themselves to that embarassment though.

      • Tinypixie says:

        It’s bonkers to think MTV revolves its program around two shitty actors.

        Twilight fans are crazy.

        By nominating mega franchises like The Avengers and Oscar winners like Jennifer Lawrence I doubt MTV will be begging for stars.

        MTV phased Twilight out last year and that was before the scandal.

      • The Original G says:

        I think Zelda is right. No MTV nominations because the audience has aged out of the franchise and the franchise itself has no new products.

        These awards are about incenting interest in the next big thing. Twilight is over.

    • pedra says:

      um…they centered FOUR AWARDS SHOWS around twilight in the last several years. That alienated other viewers, so they scaled back enough to allow for newer, better franchises like THG, but still gave the twilight trio an invite with noms so that the twihards will still tune it.

      And let’s be real here-twihards DON”T age out cause half of them are horny moms for robert. They still can fuel crazy box office returns as of last november, throwing them the kiss bone nomination is a no brainer here since it wouldn’t have interfered with the big awards. Bonus points for post-sex scandal awkwardness when they’d have to receive it.

      • The Original G says:

        Yeah, horney housewives aren’t MTV’s demographic.

      • nina says:

        you realize mtv is a dinosaur to young kids right? mtv can’t even keep up with E! for reality programming at this point, that’s how irrelevant it is to youth culture.

  45. Jen says:

    First of all, Rob, Kristen and Talor made $25m each for BDI&II plus a percentage of the gross proceeds which was $830 million. Why is it necessary to keep bashing these two as to whether they are together or not. Just something to bitch about I guess. That’s what this site is all about, right? It’s Rob and Kristen’s business who they want to be with. I really like Rob as an actor and plan to see all his movies. I don’t care about his private life and I can’t understand why so many of you do. If you don’t like either of them, why comment at all? I sincerely think if you had the chance to meet either one of them, you would feel differently. When people get bashed like this, it’s your own insecurities that are showing. They are trying to live just like everyone else only their life is out theire for everyone to see.

    • The Original G says:

      I think you may have answered your own questions, when you cite their salaries. For the purposes of Hollywood, they aren’t people, they’re products as is their showmance.

      They’re willing and handsomely paid participants.

      • dori says:

        they are handsomely paid but the problem with the pr-mance theory with some rigid contract they must adhere to would be a highly costly demand on the part of the studio for something with questionable results. Twihards love all the relationship drama, but when it comes down to actual box office and dvd sales and merchandise, they’ve been loyal AND consistent to the franchise despite the relationship status of those two. New Moon all the way up to the last movie basically had the same box office overall domestically and internationally, same with dvd sales. There’s just no logical argument for forcing two highly expensive actors together for years when the franchise sells itself again and again independent of them. But that isn’t as fun as assuming Robert’s chained to a contract he can’t get out of.

      • Zelda Fitzgerald says:

        How do you know the franchise sells itself? The “Robsten” drama has been hyped consistently since New Moon and even business publications like Forbes predicted a reconciliation as being crucial to box office and DVD sales for Breaking Dawn: Part 2. They certainly weren’t going to chance it.

        A contract could be – this actor is cooperative and will play the PR game to sell a movie. We’ll want to work with them again. Oh you don’t want to play the game? No greenlit movies for you! Hollywood execs have a way for making actors behave.

      • dori says:

        how do I know the franchise sells itself? it’s in the numbers. The box office for the last four movies are eerily the same, regardless of how much the studio tried to make it less girl-oriented post-new moon, regardless of whether Robsten(whose relationship interest peaked easily like three years ago) was fine or not, regardless of whether put more money into the production or not. the reality is that TWilight has a very ardent and significant fanbase-that never grew with time by gaining new fans, but never diminished either in terms of support.

        The main fans who played the robsten game by the way are the most ardent of twihards who would see the movie 8 times the first weekend regardless-they’re brangeloonie loyal. Their business were always a given.

      • dori says:

        ps: your characterization of how folks can make actors behave is dated too-that would more accurately portray the good ol’ days when studios kept exclusive contracts with actors and had more overall control. Besides Summit had definite control issues since twilight was it’s golden cow, but their influence as you describe it is wholly inaccurate-it does not have that sort of pull like a major studio would. The onlly logical reason for such an elaborate ruse like a four year prmance is if both stars were mutually bearding for eachother. Otherwise, it just sounds like fanfiction.

      • mainland says:

        Zelda, Thank You!! I can’t believe I actually use to think they were a real legitimate couple. I liked them together, and I have never seen nor will I ever see twilight. Now, everything I predicted they would do since the scandal has happened. I wanted to think they were real, now there is no way in hell I am changing my mind. I once felt sorry for twihards for being duped, now…… no more.

      • Zelda Fitzgerald says:

        Again, Dori, a showmance gave the movies untold free publicity and that continued from New Moon on. There is no proof that the movies would have done as well without the real life couple angle, because it wasn’t executed. Robsten reunited right on schedule (about a week before tickets went on sale) and the rest is history. We have no way of knowing if the last movie would have survived a final break up. I guess that would have been interesting to watch but it was obviously not something the studio wanted to risk.

        Since the DVD has only been out a few weeks, it would be fairly obvious if they “broke up” immediately. But I don’t know of any couples who spend over 2 months apart when they have the means to be together.

        Other than Twihards, everybody can see something has always been “off” with this couple and spending large amounts of time apart and going on dates with 15 friends in tow is strange behavior. Nobody buys it other than wacky Twilight fans.

        Let’s just say, I have an easier time believing they’re just friends and Kristen is waving the Pussy sign because she’d rather bang women.

      • The Original G says:

        I didn’t say they were forced. They are most certainly willing, whether or not they always enjoy it.

        Their showmance has most certainly has assisited in creating interest and loyalty in their target market. After the first turgidly acted episode, it’s a miracle there was any audience for subsequent versions.

        The value of this relationship is not in box office but in the ongoing free publicity for the film and book franchise and it’s lead actors. Priceless. Speculating on their relationship drama is part of the entertainment. The fly in the ointment was the little Mini-coopering incident. Who apologizes through People mag for getting a side piece besides a professional?

        Of course there’s some real relationship between these people. They spent most of their time together for the past few years. That doesn’t mean that these people are “together”.

      • lala says:

        honestly,the publicity the whatevership they have is actually the type of publicity most stars don’t want to court if they want to be more serious than a reality show star. All the robsten crap actually lowered their brand name in a lot of ways, put them alongside the Kim K’s and Desperate Housewives of the tabloid circuit, and overexposed them in the process. Now everyone’s sick of hearing about them.

        Publicity has a value, but the only folks who would want to court that level of public saturation are reality stars who realize they only have two minutes of fame to cash in on.

      • kay says:

        If Rob and Kristen have a mutual bearding contract then why was Kristen found supposedly having an affair with a man. She doesn’t need that arrangement if she actually sleeps with men.

  46. dori says:

    the pr angle is played out at this point–now would have been a perfect time for both of them to simply fade out as a couple.

    I don’t think it’s weird they went to a karaoke bar with friends after coming back either. They’ve been together for years now, they just seem like an old boring couple who have had their share of shitty times.

  47. Tig says:

    @ Jen- as has been pointed out numerous times, it’s Celebitchy for a reason. Seriously,it’s a way to pass the time – like reading mags in the check lone used to be. I think everyone posting here has a life, and prob pretty fulfilling at that. Like someone posted once, think this is rough, go to Princess Kate posts- this ain’t nothing!

    Have a good one!

  48. Annie says:

    I told you all. They are not breaking up any time soon because this “relationship” boosts their popularity and profile more than their work does. They need it. What else do people have to discuss these days about them? no interesting work news so far or movies coming out. As much as Rob tries to do serious films, the only group that takes him seriously are the Rob fans and the robsten fans. And the Robsten fans are a very large group. It’s going to be a looooong time before he gets rid of that fanbase, yet he won’t try because at the moment he knows he needs them. He’s employed, unlike Kristen, but all his projects sound pretty forgettable, and the one project that had high profile stars keeps seeing them drop out like flies.

    As for Kristen? Don’t even get me started. She will hang on to him for dear life and pose for all the fan pictures she’s asked to because her likeability is in the crapper, along with her career prospects. Look at girls like Shailene Woodley taking over really good projects as soon as she popped up, both indies and commercial. This is where Kristen fans wishes she was. But she never was. 5 years of Twilight fame and nothing good from her. Her latest gig is yet another useless indie with D listers, no production date, no distribution, nobody will get to see it, etc.

    They will stay together for a while because they need it. They cannot afford to lose attention and remind people they have soo many fans, “hire us!” I would not be surprised if they signed up for a new movie together. Wait and see.

    • megsie says:

      Is popularity an issue for Rob? I’m looking over his imdb page and he appears to be scrambling for credibility. Not as easy an achievment as name recognition or wealth, both of which he has amassed in spades. Would be interesting if Rob is so far gone he believes a relationship with Kristen Stewart will do anything but interfer with his (assumed) goal of professional respectability. Maybe I’m giving him too much credit?

        @ megsie- you are spot on! Now, re the comments- quirky indies are rarely PG-13 and sadly seldom get wide distribution, so he needs to expand his fan base. Hanging on to KS won’t do that.

        But, if she’s either the best he thinks he can do/ breaking up is too much trouble, or he thinks she hung the moon- it’s his career to make or break.

      • megsie says:

        Right, that’s the prob with indies. Again, maybe too much credit, but I get the impression he’s genuinely trying to improve his craft. Certainly trying to be taken seriously after the joke that was Twilight. And I also agree about the fanbase – high numbers but select. How many men can be counted among his fans? Branching out with Cosmopolis not only gives him an air of artistic respectability but broadens his audience – men, artsy crowd, movie geeks etc. He sure needs that, doesn’t he? Same with this Aussie movie. It will better appeal to the 20/30 ish men that the teenage girls. So after all that, why the continued attachment to Stewart? She’s convinced him she’s “real” and therefore good for his image??? Foolish love? I don’t know.

      • Annie says:

        You can’t really have your pick at the roles you want if you’re not popular. As much as actors try to deny it, popularity is VERY important to them. Both Rob and Kristen have said multiple times that being in Twilight gave them the freedom to choose what to do next and not take any job there is, like so many other actors have to (yet they still did because not a single project they’ve done so far has been truly good to boost their credibility or box office power or even quality wise). But that privilege is fading quickly, especially for Kristen. Do you think Kristen’s dreamed first project post scandal and post Twilight was yet another hard-to-get-off-the-ground indie with a C-lister cast? A project with no production date, no distribuitor and in which she has to play a supporting role? In her pretentious mind and in her fans minds she should have JLaw’s career, or Shailene Woodley’s options, but she really doesn’t. Girl is in a very dangerous position right now, career wise, with so many girls that are actually good and likeable. And after her appearance at the Oscars, where, again, she was criticized for her bad attitude, she has to know that all she has right now is her fanbase. And part of why that fanbase adores her is because she bagged their dream guy. Before Twilight she had no fans. As soon as the Rob rumors began, fans started finding her interesting and likeable. He helped her more than she will ever know. People already liked him. He never needed her.

        If Rob leaves her, he might get the credibility he wants, but the star power will be reduced. Significantly. Because these two together do sell. And that might impact his profile. His fans don’t even support his movies if they’re not Twilight. Staying together gets people talking. He pretty much doesn’t have to do much but stay with her and be seen occassionally. Not even be papped regularly.

        But hey, the good news is that Kristen thought she had everything too easy. So now she knows what it’s like to struggle and being screwed over. She got her wish!

        I do think they are a real couple, but a couple that stays together because it’s good for them even if the relationship is in the crapper.

        Don’t expect a break up.

      • Katie Scarlett says:

        Indie film goers don’t think he can act, straight men don’t take him seriously and Twilight fans aren’t interested in arty films.

        I’ve seen a few of his films and saying he’s a limited actor is putting it kindly.

    • pedra says:

      rob staying with kristen in a prmance for publicity reasons is such a naive view, as if any publicity is good publicity. Rob’s not lee ann rimes, who that declaration applies to. He’s trying to parlay his fame and fortune into a career, and pulling lee ann rimes publicity stunts doesn’t figure into that with a girl who is universally hated at this point, and oh! Who also costarred with you in a franchise that is not respectable.

      • Tig says:

        @megsie and pedra- so how do you guys think his perceived current doormat status ( if see it differently, feel free to weigh in) will impact male moviegoers’ reception to The Rover and esp Mission Blacklist, which I believe is up next for him?

      • pedra says:

        doormat status is the least of his problems-being a sparkley vampire is the big problem. Now that the franchise is over, I think his personal life will be less relevant and he’s gonna have to prove himself onscreen now. Have no clue if he has what it takes to do that, or if he’ll go the orlando bloom route now. but to think he’s actually strategizing to be tied to bella who’s been a bit of a skank lately for professional reasons is a little nutsy.

      • kay says:

        I think they will still break up eventually. So I don’t believe this will be an issue when he starts promoting his new male oriented movies. This idea that he has to disassociate himself completely from Kristen or his career is damaged is ridiculous. People are not going to hold it against Robert if he and Kristen are still friends.

      • pedra says:

        yeah, I bet they will break up within the year. they’re both really young and it’s hardly uncommon to hook up while you film with a costar-they’re filming just happened to be longer than your basic one picture deal. I don’t really believe they even have a traditional relationship taht turns him into some cuckolded bf-I think they probably have an arrangment that allows for other parties on the side. That’s why he “took her back”–cause it’s not as big a deal to him as it is to twihards who believe in mormon-eternal-forever relationships.

      • MissA says:

        I’ve a simple explanation for this. This is case of residual feelings. NO PR or that kind of shizz. I’m sure Kristen gave him a cute justification for being a cheater & begged for his forgiveness..and maybe even threatened to hurt herself. Softie Rob with major self esteem issues gave in and now they are in super toxic relationship that is destined to blow up really badly. Don’t believe me? Just wait till they break up & see what Kristen does

    • Perplexed says:

      His window of opportunity for a credible career/critical success is closing fast.
      It wd be a shame to blow the chance he has right now and that may not come again.
      He has to make his career priority no 1 and for this he needs less/no kstew/hangers-on distraction.
      Hopefully he’s off soon to shoot at an equally remote location as the one he just returned from.

  49. pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    LOL not even exciting, there’s been too much talk about these two for this to be major news, at least fans of their relationship have a reason to smile today, they’ve been holding their breath all this time 😉

  50. MissA says:

    The most ridiculous theory I’ve ever heard about this thing is “Rob is just a good friend so he is trying to help her image.There are no hurt feelings because they were never dating in first place. Hooooray!” Ummmm First of all NO guy who wants to have a serious career in Hollywood would associate himself with a homewrecker like Kristen who’s reputation has hit the rock bottom.
    Even IF there was some PR contract that forced them to be a couple Rob’s team would have ensured that he got “caught” with someone after the cheating scandal so that he is free. But did they do that? No That guy is responsible for his own actions and he HAS taken the cheater back.There’s no point in making excuses for him

  51. BLM says:

    Guys – he came in on a red-eye Monday morning – He snuck in and beat the paparazzi. They had plenty of “alone time” before going out Tuesday night with friends.

  52. Tig says:

    @pedra- sorry couldn’t reply directly above- my prob is the perceived notion that none of Rob’s films have performed well or been well received- Water for Elephants did fine ( my fav role of his to date) and Remember Me recouped as well – if the bar he has to reach for every movie is an $80 million opening weekend, then that’s unfair and unrealistic.

    If he’s papped at the batting cages with the back hat brigade- heaven help him!!

    • pedra says:

      I’m a rob fan who started out as a light twilight fan cause I had the hots for cedric diggory. I think a lot of people like to write him off acting/career wise simply cause he played a fey vampire for five years. But I think if he’s smart professionally, he’ll figure out a way to reinvent himself professionally. I really don’t think his personal life at this point post-franchise will factor in too much, whatever is going on with him the Stew. I think she’s a bit of a distraction, but not a major one and not any sort of benefit for him in terms of publicity.

  53. Get a clue says:

    Maybe he just truly enjoys the drama she brings in a relationship. Some people like that and thrive on it.

  54. MGray says:

    I’m so over all the speculation on whether or not their relationship was real (I’m only really reading this to settle a bet with a friend), but I can’t help but crack up laughing at the two photos chosen to end this post – Rob looks like he’s trying to secretly let out a fart, and Kristen looks like she already has.

  55. Tinypixie says:

    Seeing each other every 2 months when you’re in the same city doesn’t really scream togetherness. And going on dates surrounded by friends doesn’t either.

  56. Kemper says:

    Kaiser, I thought the same damn thing. Why aren’t they spending their first days together getting reaquainted. My girlfriend spent 4 weeks on a cruise with her family and we spent 4 days indoors.

  57. K says:

    The reaction to this awkward picture, is EXACTLY the reason why a PR relationship is beneficial for both of them. People have to be deluded not to see it.
    Fads come and go and their clock is ticking. Neither of them has credibility of Jennifer law, Carey mulligan, Wasikowska, Joseph Gordon-levitt, Andrew Garfield, all critically claimed actors. R&K are competing for roles against them, actors that are mostly known for their talent and work ratherfor the people they date.
    They know they’re at disadvantage, because the only thing they really have going for them, the only tool they have to book jobs IS THEIR POPULARITY.

    • MissA says:

      Rob is doing indie movies that will most likely bomb and Kristen is unemployed,all her projects are on hold. How is this supposedly fake relationship helping them?

      • Loop says:

        Cosmopolitan producer
        “RS: Fast forward 20 years and now you are making huge movies. After Spider there were a few and then A Dangerous Method and Cosmopolis with Robert Pattinson and this huge recent scandal [with Kristen Stewart].

        MK: I don’t know if it is a scandal. I think it was great for us and the movie that Rob was interested in making that type of move at this time. I think he is great in the movie and he will bring a new type of audience to David’s world. His relationship with Kristen is private, but the intense focus on it is bizarre. It’s a funny world. It brought us a lot of publicity for our US launch. We could not in a million years have bought that much publicity. I’m sorry it came at the expense of his personal life, but he’s a celebrity.”

    • Mi says:

      Robert is going to work with Carey Mulligan in Hold On Me movie.

      • Tig says:

        I so hope this one gets made! Looking forward to this more than Rover and Mission Blacklist combined.

        OT- check out the cast for Child 44- Tom Hardy, Naomi Rapace and Gary Oldman- an amazing book which hopefully will be a great movie- filming starts this summer.

      • Loop says:

        Sadly, he’s gonna taint her with his PR circus like happens with every single one of his co-stars, thank god she’s married, she’s too good for all that BS R&k thrive on.
        Anyway, she’s gonna act circles around him, and he’s gonna be overlooked and consider the weak link.

  58. Andrea says:

    I don’t believe the contract relationship. That is more Tom cruise’s speed but not young people like this. I believe they truly just have been taking time apart while he was filming and now are together again. Some of you like to just hate Kristen and seem to forget what its like to be in your early 20’s. I know so many people in these types of relationships. In fact, I know plenty of older couples (well into their 30’s, 40’s or 50’s) who are ongoing cheating on their partners and most of the time their partners know and turn a blind eye to it due to kids, marriage, etc. You guys act like you have never seen anyone cheat before. Hate to tell you guys, but its like 80% of people out there.

    • Tig says:

      To suggest that betrayal, public humiliation, and pain are somehow age-specific is a bit baffling. To further suggest that folks in their 20’s don’t feel those emotions is also a puzzling suggestion to make.

      I do agree with you that individuals in their early 20s tend to be more afraid to jettison toxic relationships and stay in them long past their expiration date for any number of reasons. However, Rob is closer to 30 than 20, and one would hope that he values himself and that he would want more from his romantic partner- but that’s his call.

      Not sure where you live or who you run with, but lying/cheating/disrespect to the person you purport to love isn’t as common as you seem to think it is.

  59. kay says:

    Okay another blind about Robert and Kristen by BlindGossip. I now believe this relationship is fake. Someone in Robert’s camp must be leaking information because of course they are painting Kristen as the desperate idiot trying to hold on to Robert. If this relationship is going to end in August this doesn’t benefit Kristen. The only people it benefits is Summit. The DVDs have only been out a month now.

    If Robert was so cut up about things why didn’t he opt out during BD2 promo.

    • MissA says:

      LOL So you are trying to say that Rob’s team sent those “blind items” to a third grade gossip site because they know that’s where they will find an audience? Looking at the way these “blind items” are written I’m pretty sure its sent in by a crazy Rob fan who is trying to console her fellow Rob lovers because of recent craziness. It doesn’t tell you anything new,its just written to say “Its PR y’all’ & the “contract deadline” that they have selected is pretty safe….I mean goes through August…really??
      Everyone except Robsten fans know that R/K are in a toxic relationship which is destined to end before this year ends. They cannot drag their relationship based on residual feelings till 2014 so saying that their relationship will end around August 2013 is a pretty safe bet imo.

      • MissA says:

        Here’s where the blind item goes wrong:

        First it says that “We’re telling you, the contract runs through August. He wants out before then, but right now she won’t let him go.”

        Ummm how can Kristen dictate what goes in the contract? They say that contract was created by Summit to help Twilight Saga,it was not proposed by Kristen.

        Then they say “So unless the studio and his people and her people can all agree to terminate the contract early, he is stuck with her”

        IF there was a contractual relationship then I’m sure there was a clause which said that they were not to be seen with their real lovers but Kristen was the first person to break it by getting caught with a married guy and now HER PEOPLE have a say in what goes in that contract

        Blind item solved lol

        The MAIN purpose of that “blind item” is to mentally prepare Rob fans for his future outings with Kristen by telling them “Its PR y’all” because Rob is a delicate single butterfly caught by PR contract..its not like he is a doormat or anything pfffffft

      • MissA says:

        Another gem in there is “If there aren’t going to be paparazzi present, the publicist also tries to set up some sort of “fan encounter” so photos can be taken as “proof” that they were together.”

        If you are a twitter stalker like me 😛 you’ll see that this is EXACTLY what some Rob fans have saying even since this fan pic hit the net. They have been saying that the pic is weird/lighting is weird/its photoshop/the girl has worked with Kristen’s PR team and etc. Looks like the person who wrote this blind item is a twitter stalker like me LOL

        Okay I swear I’ll stop talking about this “blind item” now LOL

      • kay says:

        Rob needs to hang on a few months longer. Once the fervor of Twilight is gone no one will care if he and Kristen spilt or not.
