Us Weekly: Robert Pattinson ‘put Kristen through the ringer’ about her infidelity

I’m somewhat surprised that the Robsten split didn’t take center stage in all of the weekly tabloid covers this week. Kim Kardashian’s drama got two covers, Amanda Bynes got a cover (for real?) and Robsten’s split only gets one small slice of Us Weekly’s annual bikini-body issue. I previewed Us Weekly’s Robsten story yesterday, and I shared my thoughts thus far on the breakup drama and Twihard Dramz and what I think it really going on. Late yesterday, Us Weekly finally released something online from their story:

Forgive and forget? Easier said than done. It seemed for a while that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s relationship was back on track after the actress’ cheating scandal last summer with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, but in truth, Pattinson, 27, never really got over the incident. Sources tell Us Weekly the Twilight actor had a difficult time moving on after Stewart’s fling — and he wasn’t shy about letting her know.

“He really put her through the ringer,” one insider tells Us. “Ultimately, it was like, ‘Either we move past this or we don’t.’ It wasn’t good for either of them.”

Indeed, as the new issue of Us Weekly reveals, the Cosmopolis star repeatedly used Stewart’s tryst against her in arguments between the two, which happened with increasing frequency toward the end of their relationship.

“Rob always brings up the cheating scandal to Kristen,” a second source tells Us. “He hangs it over her head.”

Time will tell whether the couple’s recent split is a temporary break or a permanent breakup, but for now, at least, they’re living separate lives.

“They’re both good people,” the first source tells Us. “It was just not the right thing for either of them right now.”

For more on what went wrong between the Twilight costars — including details on their blowup fight on Pattinson’s birthday and why this separation might stick — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.

[From Us Weekly]

I don’t like the idea that we’re supposed to think Rob is a “bad guy” for repeatedly bringing up her affair with Rupert Sanders. Kristen and Rupert’s actions led to breakup of one marriage, and I personally think Rob is probably going to be pretty screwed up about women for a while too. While it’s good to keep in mind that Kristen was only 17 when she met Rob – and maybe 18 when they started dating, depending on who you believe – Rob was pretty young too. He was what, 21 or 22 when everything started happening? Kristen was his first big love affair, his first long-term girlfriend, the first time he lived with a girlfriend, etc. If he keeps bringing up Kristen’s affair, maybe he’s doing it to piss her off, or maybe he’s doing it because he’s still working through all of that bulls—t, you know?

Us Weekly’s sources also say that Rob basically took a look at their schedules from here on out and he realized how much they would be apart, and he decided that he couldn’t trust her to NOT screw around while he was away. I still think there was probably a bigger catalyst for this split, though. The finality of it, with Rob packing up his things and taking the dogs and not seeming upset at all… it seems like there was a final nail in the sparkly coffin.

More proof that Rob did the dumping: Kristen is reportedly super-depressed about the whole thing. Hollywood Life’s source says, “They are basically allowed to date other people and Kristen is super sad over the whole thing. She’s depressed and rightly so. Her good friends have been hanging out with her at her house giving her support. This is a tough time for both of them. But Kristen seems to be taking the split the hardest.” Maybe she’ll call Rupert Sanders to commiserate.

    They both seem boring.

    • flan says:

      And that is also the reason why this doesn’t take full covers.

      The whole “are they still together or not?” thing, has become boring.

      • yoyo says:

        Yeah, not only that but the truth is they are both crap actors, the franchise is what made them famous. Without the franchise they are nothing, all their other movies have bombed (except snow white but it wasn’t carries by her) , in a couple of years they’ll be on “where are they now” guaranteed.

    • Rice says:

      Thank you @bowers! I’ve been saying this for months! The media is giving these two “persona non grata” types too much credence and coverage. There are soooo many more interesting, good-looking celebs with far juicier gossip than these two boring morons. Truth is, as much as people love to hate on them, they inexplicably bring in readers.

      • Jan says:

        I can’t understand why all of you people that call them boring stil have to come here and comment on them. Undoubtedly, you do not find them as boring as you think if they deserve a comment from you. Rob and Kristen will always get talked about for a long time. People are just interested in their life, including all of us who comment on them.

      • CC says:

        @ Jan

        In case you haven’t realized, there are celebs one loves, celebs one loves to hate, and celebs you can’t be bothered about.

        They’re the second type for me and a lot of people, I dearly hope they become the third type eventually.

      • Nina W says:

        Jan being bored enough to read about them and idly comment does not equal interest or affection.

      • Pandy says:

        Right you are Rice. I’ve never seen the twilight movies or read the books so I’ve never cared to read about them. Glad that some of their coverage will hopefully die down?? She has a face that irritates me and other than that, blah and boring.

  2. Erindipity says:

    It’s “wringer,” FFS.

  3. Lb says:

    Team Kristen is trying so hard. Gotta appreciate the effort though in my case, its in vain.

    • Nina W says:

      Lordy, mine too, she would have to save a basket of puppies from a fire breathing dragon before I would cross the street to say howdy.

  4. Anna says:

    It’s not front-page news because this was a done deal a year ago. We had a year of Robsten cover stories mulling over every minutiae of their relationship and breakup (which was ‘impending’ for like 6 months straight).

  5. Tessa says:

    Rob lived with a girl before Kristen, and dated her for three years. Her name was Nina something. Rob talks about it.

    • FreeSpiritedGirl says:

      Yes, it is true. He dated Nina Schubert before moving to US. He was 17 and Nina was 2 or 3 years older than him. He lived in with this girl/ex-model.

      • another nina says:

        Right. Furthermore, Ted Casablanca hinted that they separated after there was some drama involving child?… And later on, in an interview, Nina said that Rob would be a great dad when the time is right. She is married with kids these days.

      • jess says:

        @another nina, do you think ted was hinting around that maybe nina was pregnant with robs baby? I remember ted posting on his rob blind that Rob or nevis (which was believed to be Rob) that he was having a difficult time after finding out about a friends pregnancy. That was the same time nina announced her pregnancy.

      • another nina says:

        @jess yup, it’s what I thought.

  6. SargassoSea says:

    Fake relationship a la studios from back in the day to heavily promote / enhance the franchise storyline. Next.

    • Annie says:

      Yes, and I guess a marriage broke up just so that TWILIGHT sold more tickets.

      You guys and your lazy way of thinking, I swear. “Fake couple for promo derrrrp.”

      • mel says:

        +1…I will never understand why people STILL think it was a fake relationship…kind of weird..yes. But the whole contract concept is just stupid.

      • Lulu.T.O. says:

        Lazy way of thinking. YES. This.

      • Maria says:

        i dont think people are trying to say that the cheating was a pr move because there are only downsides to that but Robsten could easily be a Pr setup and they would bone other people, only Kstew was dumb enough to screw a married director and get caught. studio and robert than had to deal with that fallout and were rightly angry at her for that.
        why would that be hard to believe?

        im no strict believer in a pr setup but i could see it happening.

      • mel says:

        So you honestly believe that two people who are worth millions would be forced to stay together for a movie so it would earn more? Seriously…so do you think the same of Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield since they are still dating and are making a second Spider Man? If anything I think the opposite and they were forced to hide the relationship because of fear they would break up during filming.

        I’m glad they are no longer together and quite frankly kind of embarrassed that I even cared at one point (I thought they were really attractive together)…but if you can tell they were in love at one time. And by the way I wonder why everyone bashes Kristen so hard when Emma Stone (who I love) met Andrew Garfield when he was involved with someone else. Oh that’s right…its because she is smiles and is more likeable..so their cheating is ok.

    • Gretchen says:

      @Mel, I get what you mean, and I don’t think cheating is ever really excusable but I think there is quite a sizeable difference (aside from Stone being miles more likeable). I think the Stone and Garfield situation is pretty much expected in Hollywood, neither however had 2 kids and 10 years of marriage to another person under their belt. Plus the Stone/Garfield situation seemed to go down fairly privately. The mini-coopering however was just such a public humiliation for their partners.

  7. annaloo. says:

    That is a completely NORMAL thing to do if you have been cheated on. He is human.

    • Nina W says:

      Of course, it is yet more offensive, poor me, pity party spin from Stewart’s camp that trashes Rob in a vain attempt to make Stewart look better.

  8. JenD says:

    If my significant other cheated on me, I’d probably bring it up, too. Actually, I wouldn’t stay with him, but that’s just me. So, I could see where every argument would come back to her cheating.

    • Maria says:

      thats right and i would also leave but if you stay you need to let go, otherwise it cant work. best solution is to leave and second best is to forgive but always bringing it up is the worst.

  9. Nola says:

    I was a fan of them as a couple and I am a fan of each individual but I’m not down with dump on Kristen part 2. Cheating’s wrong and he had ever right to be pissed/hurt but holding that over her head is lame. As soon as he realized he wasn’t past it or couldn’t move forward, he should have bailed. Bringing it up to punish her or make her feel guilty is so small of him.

    Also, I foresee Rob becoming the new Dicaprio/Depp. Meaning that peeps don’t realize how douchey these guys can be in relationships.

    • donna says:

      “As soon as he realized he wasn’t past it or couldn’t move forward, he should have bailed.”

      Sounds like that’s what he did. I doubt he went into it thinking “I’m never going to let her move on from it and I’m going to psychologically torture her with it”. He probably WANTED to get past it and finally realized he couldn’t.

      • Nola says:

        That’s probably true. However, I think he should have walked away earlier than a year later.

      • Lb says:

        Agreed. I doubt anyone knows if they’ll ever get past it but they try until they realize it isn’t working. And that applies to the cheater and the cheated because one could argue that the cheater should be prepared for it being brought up in the future. It’s not someone another would be quick to forget.

      • honeybee says:

        I think people like you will never forgive him for walking away from her no matter when. If he had left earlier than this then there will be you arguing that he didn’t fight hard enough.

      • rtms says:

        Agreed, he should have bailed and cut her loose when it happened instead of letting it simmer and bitch about it for almost a year on. Who cares if there was a movie to promote, break free if you can’t get over it, forgive and go on if you really want to make up. The fact that he crawled back to her and held it over her head since then just makes him look douchy.

      • Emma says:

        When did he have time to bail? He had Twilight promo until December 2012. Christmas isn’t a good time to bail. Then he was filming the Rover for January to February 2013. Then he publicly really tried to work on the relationship from March to May and realized that Kristen was classless and trashy and he has now moved on.

    • Anname says:

      Are you really saying that Rob is to blame for this break up? No one is perfect and I am sure he did lash out etc at times, but anyone who puts this on Rob is just wrong – SHE cheated, not him. Sounds like he tried very hard to make it work for a while, and put up with a whole lot of bad press while doing so.

      Side note, those friends of hers are a bit much at times. I never saw him fitting in with that crowd for any length of time.

      • FreeSpiritedGirl says:

        No one is to be blamed but the cheater themselves.

      • Janet says:

        Her team and her fans are trying to make him the bad guy.
        🙄

      • Jany says:

        The harder they try to put the blame all on Rob, the harder it’ll backfire. Such a stupid strategy. People like Rob better than her, lots don’t care, but certainly have no love lost for Kristen.

      • Diana says:

        This is exactly what I meant yesterday when talking about Lainey’s post. People that don’t want to make Stewart responsable for her own mistakes and the consequences those mistakes have brought her, want to blame it all on Rob and that will never be right. They want to turn him into the bad guy even though he never trashed her even when he could have gotten away with it, when he took her back and protected her to some degree from the backlash she brought upon herself.

    • Jane says:

      + 10000

    • Tessa says:

      Yeah, blame Rob. It’s clearly his fault. Duh. Kristen at any time could have dumped him for not getting over it. Hell, she could have dumped him before she cheated on him and saved herself and Rob a lot of grief. He wouldn’t have looked like a cuckold/doormat for one!

      • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

        +1 @Anname you couldn’t be more right. Was he expected to just forget? I knew they were in trouble when they reconciled so quickly – the more you love someone, the more power they have to hurt you. Their body language just hasn’t seemed the same, Kristen has always looked like she’s trying to cling to Rob and I think that she could feel him slipping through her fingers. Rob is not to blame, he did all that he could do.

    • Annie says:

      Right… Rob is the bad guy now eventhough he took her back sooner than he should’ve to save HER reputation and avoid uncomfortable moments with her, while she’s there making deals with the paps. Wow,’what douche must Rob have been in their relationship if he put his own needs after hers eventhough she was caught in the most embarrassing of fashions making a fool out of HIM.

      What? Is he supposed to stick around forever so she doesn’t feel bad for being a cheating scumbag? She should feel bad. Her actions led to a lot of people getting hurt.

    • Nina W says:

      Yeah, horseshit. She took a giant crap on their relationship and if she has to be be dragged through the coals to fix it, boo f’ing hoo. She was lucky he even made the effort to repair what she carelessly shattered.

      • coil says:

        100% I’m glad to see voices of reason – especially non-nonsense voices of reason about this disgusting turn of events. She’s the coward who cheated, now her people (with her permission of course) are trying to make Pattinson look like the villain. She cheated with a disgusting adulterer, and Rob’s the bad guy… Thank you for being reasonable, Nina W, it’s always refreshing.

  10. Micki says:

    …”Robsten’s split only gets one small slice of Us Weekly’s annual bikini-body issue”

    Thanks God for that! Hopefully they will get 5 min. pause to crawl somewhere…

  11. donna says:

    I’m wondering if the catalyst wasn’t related to Lainey’s BI about Kristen’s deal with that pap. Kristen wanted to set up a big photo op for his bday and Rob said no. He got sick of her using him as a prop to help her image.

    I feel for him just in that it’s hard enough to get over this kind of betrayal in a relationship, but he not only had to try to work it privately, he had to put on a happy face and act like it was no big deal publicly. He had to pose with her and smile and talk about her for Twilight promo. He had to put on a show for the paparazzi. He probably never got to deal with it for REAL on his own time because he had it constantly hung over his head that basically her career and image were in his hands.

    • Anname says:

      Think of that LA airport pap video where the guy is screaming at him that Kristen’s going to cheat again. Awful.

    • Andrea says:

      I don’t know how he managed to compose himself and pretend everything was fine! I’ve seen a video when they are in the airport arriving from Twilight promo and one of the papz shouted ” Robert is Kristen gonna cheat on you again?” all the other papz were laughing !

      • Lulu.T.O. says:

        OMG. Packs of ravening wolves dealing in others misfortunes. I’d kick a pap too if I could.

    • Annie says:

      He never got to deal with this properly. It all happened right before his Cosmopolis promo and then the Twilight promo had to look flawless and I’m sure there were lots of meetings and instructions (and we conviniently got pics of them together again in her backyard, fancy that, courtesy of x17 and PopSugar as per usual. Coincidence right?) then he had to prepare for his next movie, go film it. He was never allowed space to deal with things. Everything moved too fast.

      My suspicion is that while away filming in Australia he got to bond with the men on set who hopefully had nice long chats with him and helped him open his eyes. He comes back with a new outlook thinking he won’t be anyone’s robot anymore, he’s grumpier and then things eventually blow up because he finally starts confronting her about things, as opposed to helping HER get past the embarrassment.

      She was so confident she would get him back and everything would be peachy. There’s consequences girl! One of them being he’s not going to look at you the same way anymore.

      • coil says:

        Exactly. She goes from the love of his life, who he cherishes, whose opinions and thoughts really mean a lot to him, to damaged goods at best and a whore at worst, and often little more than a warm hole. Way to go, “rebel.” Real “hardcore” living the old cliche of the actress who blows her dirtbag director.

      • Diana says:

        Yeah, how could he look at her the same way as before? Those pics are disgusting and I bet they are burned in his mind for the rest of time. Plus, only like two days later she was on T.V holding his hand and acting as if nothing had happen. How can one trust anything a person like that says ever again?

    • Liv says:

      Donna, you think the blind is about Kristen? If this is true I’m going to die of laughter. Would be amazing.

  12. A says:

    I love that photoshoot though. They looked amazing.

    But on point I’m glad that Rob took back his man-card.

    • marie says:

      I know right? I have never seen Kristen look better, it was a beautiful shoot. (and Rob needs to grow his hair back)

    • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

      Those were the days when I actually thought they looked good together. So much has changed since then.

    • Anname says:

      They were great together, and it was fun to watch that all unfold through the Twi craziness. It is actually quite sad that way it all ended. Ah well, onto bigger and better things.

      • Annie says:

        Yeah I never imagined it would end like this. I never would’ve imagined a scandal like last summer’s. I thought they were very boring and vanilla.

      • Diana says:

        They were so pretty toguether and there she went and crew it all up.

      • Diana says:

        They were so pretty together and there she went and screw it all up.

    • hertz says:

      At that exact photoshoot she was making out with Nikki Reed but no one posts those photos or videos.
      Have to keep the fans believe she’s only into men.

      • Annie says:

        Making out?? Lord. It was one peck on the lips, once.

      • TG says:

        Yeah I have seen those photos on a gay and lesbian site and she and Nikki are all over each other they share the same cigarette I think Kristen even puts it in Nikki’s mouth and they are very touchy feely and you never saw that with Kristen and Rob. That being said I think Nikki is smoking hot and regret that she married a dweeb.

      • TG says:

        Yeah I have seen those photos on a gay and lesbian site and she and Nikki are all over each other they share the same cigarette I think Kristen even puts it in Nikki’s mouth and they are very touchy feely and you never saw that with Kristen and Rob. That being said I think Nikki is smoking hot and regret that she married a dweeb. She should be with a man worthy of her hotness.

  13. Nola says:

    Kaiser, I know that you are team sparkles (though I think you like Kstew more than you know) but at 17/18 I’d be willing to bet that Kristen ALSO thought Rob (22/23) was her first big love affair.

    • A says:

      No, Kstew dated that Michael guy between 2005-2009. That was her first “love”.

      • m says:

        Yea, a love that she was willing to get rid of in the name of Rob. Rob wasnt the first guy she has cheated on, and he has been the other man so whats so shocking about this?. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

      • Tiffany27 says:

        Idk why this never comes up. I’m not saying I don’t feel bad for Rob, but didn’t she leave her first boyfriend for him?

      • Atlanta says:

        yeah you could argue that she was willing to get rid of robs love to by cheating with a married man so i dont know about big love. I think kstew hasnt had that yet. Too young and self absorbed to really love.

      • Anname says:

        She was all of 16 when she started dating Michael. Ending a relationship badly when you are 16-17 is a bit more forgiveable than when you are 22-23 and should know better.

  14. Tiffany27 says:

    This is why they should have broken up and stayed broken up a long time ago. It’s incredibly hard to get past a boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s infidelity and if he really forgave her he wouldn’t have kept throwing it back in her face. I hope they’re done for good otherwise they’re just torturing each other.

    • Cazzee says:

      Part of life is about learning. Seems like he learned he is not the type of person who can just ‘get over it’ when it comes to infidelity. Some people can, some people can’t.

      It’s an important lesson to learn and to know about yourself – so that in the future if someone cheats on you, you know to get out of the relationship THAT SECOND instead of wasting another year of your life, like he just did.

  15. FreeSpiritedGirl says:

    Kristen being ‘superdepressed’ is rubbish. She hung out with her friends last night and she was very happy and was texting someone all the while. Looks like there is some coordination problems between KStew and her Publicist.

    • pretty says:

      you keep saying that but i think that all “HEY LOOK AT ME SMILING~~~~” is just her pretending to be fine. it is obvious that she god dumped. and since she thinks she is such a hardcore genuine bad-ass, it isn’t right to be all sullen and all.
      remember she wore rob’s clothes for her first post cheating scandal photo op. she tries so hard to let people know she is fine everything is fine. etc etc but i hope she learns freaking lesson this time.

      • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

        I honestly don’t think any of us know what she’s thinking – it could be her over-compensating and it could also be that this break up was a long time coming and she’s relieved. I wouldn’t really want to see her crying all over the place either (although that would better support those stories of her being heartbroken), they’re both young, they don’t have kids together, life will go on.

      • honeybee says:

        Yeah she is overcompensating. The real Kristen is the one moping around in the car on Rob’s birthday and the bored one on the MET ball red carpet. Forget the MET photos you should see the video to see how miserable she always is.

        I don’t see her learning any kind of lesson with her “yes men posse” around enabling her entitled bratty attitude.

      • FreeSpiritedGirl says:

        BAHAHAHHAA! She wore his clothes post cheating scandal just to get him back and save her face. If she was so much in love with Rob then why did she cheat? I’m sure she would not have told him about her mini-coopering if the papz hadn’t called her about the pics to be published.

      • TG says:

        Anyone who puts out a public apology with “I love him. I love him” is not hardcore bad*ss. Ha ha she is such a joke.

      • kay says:

        The real Kristen is laughing all the way to the bank.

      • TG says:

        How can you be a badass in rolled up skinny jeans and a tee shirt ties at the corner? Such a joke. A badass wouldn’t take the time to carefully roll their jeans and tie their shirt up?

  16. pretty says:

    Kristen’s PR team is so low and nasty.
    Really, youre gonna blame the guy for not trusting you??? Did you forget how cruel that whole cheating scandal was for him. i mean for god sakes, that unreal dry humping in broad day light. http://i.imgur.com/UbAeIs8.gif

    • MonicaQ says:

      That gif never fails to make me snicker. I don’t know if it’s an evil snicker, an amused snicker, or both.

    • Annie says:

      And head to toe she was wearing Rob’s things! Including his freaking underwear! CLASS.

      Those pictures will never not be skanky. Her greasy clothes, her entire demeanor, the old married scumbag boss. Seriously, epitome of skank. Meanwhile, Rob is at home waiting for her. She came back as if nothing happened. “You’re really sweaty honey. Must’ve been one hell of a workout!” “Oh, that it was, babe. That it was…”

      • coil says:

        “Those pictures will never not be skanky. Her greasy clothes, her entire demeanor, the old married scumbag boss. Seriously, epitome of skank.”

        Excellent comment. Bears repeating, anytime someone claims she has redeemable qualities.

      • Liv says:

        I totally agree with you, Annie! It’s not just that she cheated – in my opinion everbody can make a mistake – but how publicly she did and how she handled the media frenzy. Bratty, selfish bitch. I still don’t get why a girl from L.A. who knows that paps are following her constantly is so stupid to cheat on her boyfriend in public! Speaks volumes about her.

    • c'est la vie says:

      Whoever came up with that gif is an evil genius.

  17. smee says:

    Who knows if it’s true, but that IS why you don’t get back together after infidelity (at least when you’re young). The cheated-on will always be thinking about it and never be able to give it a truly “fresh” start.

    They’re both so young – this will all be just a foggy memory one day…..

  18. Melissa says:

    My friend was in a similar situation, her boyfriend put her through constant shit for two or three years after it happened. He still makes little stabs to this day, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say they have gotten a lot better and are happier. This is a one day at a time thing, once that trust is gone its extremely hard to get back and both people have to really want it to work to overcome the obstacles. Rob probably just couldn’t do it, and its not his fault. I’d of left the second i found out so good on him for trying.

  19. Deb says:

    It’s not cover story worthy because no one cares about these two and their PR fauxmance. Everyone is over this dramarama except Gossip Cop and Lamey.

  20. Talie says:

    How the mighty have fallen… they don’t even warrant a full cover anymore.

    • Anname says:

      I would guess that Rob is THRILLED this is not a cover story. I am sure he is quite aware the sooner he loses the Robsten tabloid stuff the better for his career, and personal sanity!

        Amen to that – trying to make it be HIS fault? Who besides a KS fan believes that garbage? Whatever happened to -” wish each other the best, blah blah” and let it rest? On a snarkier note- would love to see pics of Ruperv becoming one of the back hat brigade- can you just see him blending right in with his 40 yr old self?

      • Mary says:

        Agree. Her team is painting him now as a bad guy but the truth will always come out. I reckon the biggest catalyst for this was her secret meeting with her director. In a way Robert took the necessary step of him getting all his stuff and his dogs, to show the world that he is done and he is going to dictate the narrative of this story.He gave her a chance, I guess, because they were friends but look where it got him. This is simply Kristen’s comeuppance. Who is going to save her now?

      • TG says:

        I know Leo is a total douchebag but he was smart back in the Titanic days not to let this happen to him. I know I was one of the fans in love with him but he put a stop to being thought of as a putz and only suitable for chick flick roles. Rob being attached to the entire twilight saga and this dumb girl will haunt him forever I think unless he can make like Brad Pitt and hookup with a super interesting and mature person.

    • Annie says:

      Yup! Fewer people care anymore, that is true.

      But in the end this is better for Rob. He won’t be tabloid fodder anymore. Real actors don’t want that. This is very good.

      The sooner he gets rid of her, the robsten freaks, the tabloid world, the sooner he’s getting away from Twilight and all of that. A new chapter for him.

      • Mary says:

        Agree. She and her circle is dragging him down. There was no creativity there. To be honest, I lost faith in Rob for a while, for becoming like her: morose, took their status seriously. He lost his sense of fun. This may be harsh but I am glad she cheated on him. Things will always come full circle. Kristen will not escape her karma.

      • Anname says:

        I never thought of it that way but you are right, he lost his sense of fun.

  21. mel says:

    I LOVED the photo above…they both look so gorgeous! I think it would be great if no one asks either one of them about the other…give them what they want…their privacy. I have a feeling they are more co-dependent on the publicity than they care to admit. I loved them together but when Kristen said “keep them guessing” after 3 years of this crap I was just like I’m done.

    • Renne says:

      A lot of people were done when she said “keep ’em guessing” after her very public apology. She was playing the victim card and suddenly she became her bitchy arrogant self again. That’s why now she’s fine and so no crying – no one would believe her being hurt&vulnerable again.

  22. Chickie Baby says:

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: These two need to not be together…for a long time. They need a break from each other to date other people and have their own lives that are not connected to Twilight in any way. They both need a chance to be independent, grown-up adults and find out what that part of life is like.

    I’m surprised Rob gave it this long after the affair—maybe he wanted to give her a second chance but his heart just wasn’t in it. He’ll be okay.

    • Mary says:

      Of course, he’ll be ok. His class will tell him that. It took him a while to see though Kristen’s phoniness but he got there in the end. He is 27 years old. It’s time to play and enjoy life. I am glad he is intelligent enough to turn his life around.Keep as much as you can with your privacy but always, always dictate your narrative.Angelina Jolie does.

  23. Nicolette says:

    That Vanity Fair shoot was their best, they both looked great.

  24. AustinMJ says:

    Ok, who’s that on the cover of Us Weekly to the left? Alba? Her hips are WEIRD.

    • Sandra says:

      I KNOW!!! I was scrolling the comments to see if anyone else noticed it. Did they photoshop above her bikini bottoms and forgot to compensate below them? There’s no way they look like that.

      • Lulu says:

        Actually, my hips look like that. Mostly it just depends on the angle, but I always hated it because it made me look like I had fatty saddlebags, when really it is just my musculature.

      • TG says:

        No that isn’t photoshopping. Those bikini photos are all over the web. Alba and her man were on vacation recently and at first glance I was obsessed with how awesome her body looked and then I realized she looks weird her thighs and leg are much larger than her hips and torso. I think it is Tracy anderson or some other evil woman guru messing with Alba’s body. I mean I am a pear and am bottom heavy but everything falls into line smoothly that is a strange body and she used to have a banging body but I guess after having 2 girls she has to be smaller than them to prove something. Prove what I don’t know.

  25. TinyPixie says:

    It didn’t make the front covers because nobody cares about these two other than the Twihards and the variations of that: the Robert Pattinson obsessives who think he’s one movie away from being the next Leo DiCaprio and the Kristen Stewart fans and anti-fans.

    They’ll fade into obscurity soon enough since every movie they’ve ever made has been crap and they’ve been crap in them.

    • Sandy says:

      Thanks Tiny Pixie. Agree wholeheartedly. About half the people on this site won’t give a damn about eithier of them in about five years and most will not see a movie of theirs. Both of their fan bases claim to love them so much but they can’t sell a movie out of Twilight. She can’t act and he is mediocre at best

      • honeybee says:

        Its too early to write Rob off. Wait till the next few movies that he is making come out. As long as the movies get good reviews he will be involved in the industry for a long time. He is supposedly good at writing and I can see him getting involved in screeplays as well.

  26. TG says:

    Something that I keep harping on is don’t these celebs ever spend 2 seconds alone with themselves? So Eward left her and now her friends have to hang out at her house? What kind of friends do these people have? Don’t they have to work? Or so they just mooch off of the celeb? Gross yuck can’t stand people who can’t spend alone time.

    • Prim & Proper says:

      Yes, I have often wondered what these “friends” do for a living. Also, do any of her friends have boyfriends, and do any of RP’s male friends have girlfriends? I hope there is one court jester amongst these friends reminding the star they revolve around that they can crash and burn just like the rest of us.

      • Another Ann says:

        Yes, some of her girlfriends have boyfriends and his friends have girlfriends. In fact, one of Kristen’s girlfriends is dating one of Rob’s friends, so that could get weird down the road.

      • honeybee says:

        I think her friend Suzie is dating Rob’s friend’s bandmate. So no direct connection.

      • Miss Thang says:

        Isn’t Tom Sturridge his best friend? He’s married and has a baby now. I heard a rumor that another friend of his got engaged at Christmas, so I’m sure he’s tired of all the immature drama of this relationship.

      • TG says:

        So funny your court jester comment and I can’t that they have any friends who don’t worship them so I would guess that there is no court jester. After all no one wants to fall out of favor and risk losing their livelihood.

  27. c'est la vie says:

    Now perhaps, his VF hotness will come back.
    And his soul…
    He’s already got his mancard. He doesn’t have to be loyal to her anymore.

    I wonder who leaked this to US Weekly. Or just maybe they made it up for fun.

    Still gotta love US.

  28. Zorbitor says:

    I remember when being an actor/actress and screwing around with your co-stars was par for the course.

  29. Atlanta says:

    I am not a fan of either of them, I think they are poor actors and to be honest i find them both immature the way they carry on. But seriously can you blame pattison for brining up the cheating? The trust in their realtionship is gone and its hard work getting that back. Its a bit pathetic is trying to use that against him. He sounds like how any man or woman reacting to being cheated on.

  30. Maria says:

    Why is her team trying to make it sound like he is the bad guy in this situation? That is just pitiful. Rob was a class act when the cheating came out. He and his friends didn’t say anything about her in public even though her team and friends were spilling the tea and trying to get people to sympathize her as being so young and seduced etc.

    Just say “we wanted to try, it didn’t work anymore, I’m sad about it but I wish him all the best” and just let it be allready. Don’t try to put the blame on him! Don’t try to make people think that you are the victim, it is just going to make you look even worse.

    She must have known that it wouldn’t be the same anymore, but she still wanted to have him back and try. Do not blame the guy you cheated on for not trusting you anymore… That is just stupid. Act like a woman and walk away without putting the blame on him.

    • Nicole says:

      Well I know what I think. She has done something that caused Rob to dump her on the spot and is afraid of what it will do to her image if it gets out. So she’s trying to transfer as much of the blame as she can to him, to make it seem like the demise of Robsten wasn’t all her fault. It might sway some of her more gullible fans but it’s a fairly desperate gambit. So what did she do? Well, word on the street is it involved Rupert again

  31. Lila says:

    This just tells me even more that the relationship needed to end. I don’t blame him for not being able to get past the infidelity or for bringing it up. That’s human. But I don’t care what she did- spending a year in a relationship being made to feel guilty and crappy and trying to ‘earn’ love is not a good situation for her. It sounds like it’s past being her fault or his fault- it just needed to end for them both.

  32. Rabia says:

    It’s hard enough to move past infidelity, but then to have 50 pics of your GF dry-humping her director…well, I’d think those images would be impossible to forget.

    It was obvious things were not all rosy after they got back together. There was that pap video from right before BD2 promo where the greasy hipsters and the couple are standing outside of some pub…and Rob looks so tense and uncomfortable with Kristen clinging to him. It made me cringe to see. I’m sure they’re both relieved it’s over.

  33. Tig says:

    Tell me the universe doesn’t have a sense of humor- Rob and the T cast now have to navigate the Teen Choice nominations! Wasn’t that the same awards show that KS played the happy GF right bef the Ruperv photos surfaced? Run rob Rob part 2!!

    • Annie says:

      I highly doubt they’re going. It’ll be Taylor Lautner alone, again, because he has nothing going on.

      Lol I love how he completely drifted into obscurity. Poor guy.

      • Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

        LOL that would be a huge pile of awkward if they end up going, anyways, I think Rob can be counted on to be his professional self. Kristen? Not so much but we’ll see.

        And lol what did happen to Taylor? Where is he hiding himself these days?

      • TG says:

        I don’t know why but I can’t stand Taylor Lautner maybe because I can’t seperate him from Jacob or because I read too much Lainey but either way can’t stand him.

  34. RobN says:

    I think we’ve just reached a point with these two where anybody who isn’t a Twihard just doesn’t really care about either one, and even they are starting to grow up and move on.

    • TinyPixie says:

      BINGO

    • Anname says:

      Do you really not get it that Kristen has her fans and Rob has his fans and a great majority of them are not even close to being “Twihards”?? Twilight may have brought them visibility, but they will have enough fans that follow them after to have decent/good careers (I am not saying they are Dicaprio/Streep but not many will get to that level). This insistence that they will fade into obscurity is a bit silly. Hate them all you want, but it’s foolish to think that everyone else thinks the same as you do.

      • another nina says:

        It’s a reasonable assumption that the majority of Rob’s fans are twihards (to a certain extent) because so far he has not demonstrated strong acting in any of his other movies. He is a nice and smart guy but these qualities are not sufficient for him to carry on a major movie. Even his most successful movie to date – Cosmopolis, brought in around $11 mil gross and was just in a limited release. And, note that it got a boost from Cronenberg’s fans. Rob continues to under-deliver year after year and it’s slightly disturbing to see that his fans are in denial…

      • Anname says:

        You know, there is a lot of room between bomb and hit. WFE and RM were profitable, and Cosmoplis brought the critical acclaim that he desperately needed. I think he will do just fine going forward, with hits and misses like most actors. Dicaprio, Depp, Pitt.. they all have had bombs along the way. If I were claiming his mere presence determines a hit movie, then you could claim I am in denial, but otherwise that is a dumb accusation.

      • another nina says:

        fans tend to attend movies of their favorite actors. Nobody attends Pattinson’s movies so far (outside of Twilight.) Where is this mythical legion of fans outside of twihards?

      • RobN says:

        I think it’s a mistake to say that he has his fans and she has hers. A great many of their fans were just that, “their” fans, and they had a huge emotional, if somewhat misguided, attachment to them as a couple. No couple and no Twilight leaves them both with a much smaller pool of people who will attend their films. Whether they fade away remains to be seen, but teen idol types tend to do that. Some hang on with performances in smaller films, but their fan bases tend to grow up and move on. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt either of their careers if they smiled more and took an occasional shower.

    • Scarlett says:

      Seriously. Real, fake, PR driven or a bit of all three, they were a boring couple. I’m sorry I don’t find them compelling as actors, people or as a couple.

      • honeybee says:

        If they are so boring why bother to read about them AND comment about them?

        Thanks for playing. You can move along to someone more interesting 😉

    • TinyPixie says:

      It sure is interesting that all of the fans on this site claim to not be Twilight fans and yet know everything there is to know about Twilight. Yeah, they’re just Kristen/Rob fans. OK.

      Her movies have bombed, his movies have bombed. They’ve been famous for over 5 years now and have failed to capitalize on their shot with good projects. Rob is really quite a terrible actor and I gave him a few chances in some of the non-Twilight movies he’s done. Awful. He’s a plank of wood. As is Stewart who has had the same string of failures. They have a small group of fans on the internet, but not enough to make any movie a hit. And they are not compelling enough actors to get by on their talent.

      Even his most successful movie to date – Cosmopolis, brought in around $11 mil gross and was just in a limited release.

      I just looked it up and it made a total of $6 million on a $20 million budget. It was a major flop in the US bringing in only $770,000. The critical acclaim was marginal, it got a lot of very bad reviews. Stewart’s On the Road did just as poorly.

      • Anname says:

        Clearly we disagree re Rob. I find him interesting and look forward to his successful career, and you can enjoy anticipating his failure or ignoring him altogether.

      • Tig says:

        Don’t know why I am bothering- but when you say most successful movie is “Cosmopolis”- are you talking about critical acclaim? He has been in movies that have made money. He has also been in movies that haven’t. How does that make him any different from 99% of actors?

        Having sat through two summer “blockbusters” in two days-well, makes me appreciate “Mud” all the more.

      • Emma says:

        Remember Me and Water for Elephants both made 3x budget and were not flops. In fact, I’ve always had a crazy theory that Kristen’s PR team fed negative headlines about Rob’s box office. The idea doesn’t seem so crazy now.

        Cosmopolis was a critical hit for Rob professionally. He’s now taken seriously by good directors. All the box office in the world couldn’t pay for that type of goodwill for Rob so that was a success story for Rob as well.

  35. She has the same expression in every single photo. Even when she is supposed to look all sexy and in love, she looks constipated. I’ve seen a Dalek with more emotional maturity.

  36. Sandip says:

    Good Job, Hope he did, that was tacky. if she got a hotel room no one would know.

  37. Scavenger says:

    It’s not accurate to say that this was Rob’s first long-term relationship or first big love affair. He is indicated otherwise in interviews circa 2008.

  38. jess says:

    New pics of rob driving to kristens house. I hope hesjust getting the rest of his stuff. All there fans are getting their hopes up.

  39. Moana says:

    Wringer. Shit, people.

  40. xxx says:

    I don’t know, I don’t think there has to be a final EVENT for one party to walk away and be firm about it and okay about it. I recently broke up with my long-term boyfriend who I lived with. We had just been fighting more and more and more and I was really unhappy. I’d been thinking about ending it for 3 months and had finally gotten myself to the point where I could do it. We had 5 massive fights in one weekend and I ended up nearly having a panic attack. I walked away, calmed down, and did it. I moved out straight away. I seemed pretty good on the surface and I was in a much better state than him because I’d been emotionally and mentally prepping myself for months. Inside I was still hurting and I had a few breakdown cries but I got straight on with life. There doesn’t need to be a thing, sometimes you just get to the tipping point, and if you’ve been unhappy for a while, it feels better to just end it – you feel like a weight has been lifted.

    • TG says:

      I hear you @xxx – I have been in both positions being the one who got dumped and the one doing the dumping. What I learned is that getting dumped is tough and getting over that person can take a very long time but also for the person doing the dumping, if they are a good person it is very tough for them to break it off and can take months to do it but as you discovered once you do it it is such a release and you can move on quickly because the you have already checked out emotionally for the most part. Frequently peoe don’t have the courage to break up properly so they start emotionally abusing the other party to get them to be the one to break it off. It is better for every one when it finally happens. Good luck to you and stay strong.

  41. lisa says:

    he was cute in harry potter, i have no idea how he went to the other extreme so quickly

  42. aquarius64 says:

    The Great Passion of Twilight has now been reduced to a reality show mud slinging fest. And the press is eating it up, but so are we. Rob and Kristen are going to look bad (for Kristen, worse)if this keeps up. Someone mentioned Taylor, well he’s in Grown Ups 2 coming out in July. It’s a bit part but he’s in the promos a lot. The only way he gets significant ink is association with the infamous trampire. Sad.

  43. Lulu says:

    I did *love* that dreamy Vogue photoshoot. Back then we were all a little in love with those two. But nothing gold can stay…

    • fran says:

      Photoshoots are staged. People who obsessed over them were sold a fairytale they already believed and the studio gave them what they wanted and now that is revealed all is nothing but a PR stunt they react hurt and don’t want to believe it.

      There are no genuine relationships in Hollywood, especially those sold by tabloids and stars themselves.

  44. Emma says:

    I really believed they were a genuine couple but Kristen has proven herself to be so immature and dunce that it really lends credence to them being a PR couple. Why would someone as classy and intelligent as Rob date someone like Kristen unless he was doing it for millions of dollars? Their relationship doesn’t make sense.

  45. Lucrezia says:

    What the heck has happened to that first photo? It looks like part of his skull is missing. There is blue sky where the top of his head should be.

    I don’t follow twilight … is this some known dodgy photo-shop pic, and I’m just a year late to the conversation?

  46. Sonnaerys says:

    I think a lot of people forget all of the stories that came out years back about Rob shacking up and shagging all of his co-stars. She made a mistake and she apologized. If he couldn’t handle the infidelity, then don’t get back together with someone. You don’t date them again only to piss and moan about the past. That’s his own fault.
