Star: Did Robert Pattinson go on a cocaine bender a few weeks ago in LA?

FFN_Pattinson_Rob_PER_081613_51182450

Since it’s surprisingly dead today (minus Benedict Cumberbatch’s awesomeness and Kim Kardashian’s ass of doom), I thought I would go ahead and give you guys a preview of this week’s Star Magazine story about Robert Pattinson. I received a request for this! I haven’t read Star yet (we get our tabloids in this afternoon), so I’m just going by Gossip Cop’s takedown of Star’s story. To be fair to everyone involved, this story is so controversial that even Twihard Central Hollywood Life isn’t running it. And Gossip Cop didn’t even get a denial from Rob’s people. The basic gist? Rob was “seen” (allegedly!) doing cocaine at an LA club.

Robert Pattinson went on a “cocaine bender” in Los Angeles last month, according to Star.

The tabloid says the Twilight actor was “snorting bump after bump of cocaine” while in the VIP area of the Viper Room club on September 7, part of an alleged “wild cocaine binge that spanned three different locations and lasted nearly until dawn.”

A so-called “eyewitness” tells Star, “Rob was doing coke all night… Rob tried to be subtle by scooping the coke out of a baggie with a key, but he was still in plain view of others in the room — and he looked like he knew exactly what to do.”

The same magazine source claims Pattinson “continued to party excessively” at the Chateau Marmont.

“Rob went to the bathroom alone multiple times with the bag of cocaine,” notes the alleged eyewitness. “He got nervous, anxious and defensive toward the end of the night, which seemed in keeping with all the coke he’d been doing. He was paranoid that people were watching him.”

Star says the party then moved to Pattinson’s house.

According to the tab’s insider, “Once we got there, Rob quickly suggested that the guy with the coke break out the drug again. He was craving more and wanted the party to continue.”

“Rob’s coke binge — which started where River Phoenix OD’d and continued at Chateau Marmont, where comedian John Belushi met a similar fate 31 years ago — could be a sign of worse danger to come,” explains the magazine.

The Star source says, “He needs to stop hanging out with certain people who are not concerned for his well being.”

OK.

We’ll point out a few things:

1. It’s odd that a major Hollywood star allegedly did cocaine in public more than five weeks ago — and nothing was said until now.

2. It’s also strange that the same source would be close enough to Pattinson to follow him to all three locations — including the actor’s home — and yet happy to snitch to a tabloid.

3. There’s no second insider corroborating the story, even an anonymous one.

4. There are no pictures of Pattinson doing cocaine at any of the three supposed party locations.

5. Star has a fairly sloppy history with Pattinson rumors.

6. Gossip Cop has never heard stories linking Pattinson to cocaine use.

We have reached out for comment on the Star story, but right now there’s no evidence to support the very serious allegations.

[From Gossip Cop]

Do you believe any part of Star’s story? Here’s the thing: I think it’s a bad sign that Rob has stayed in LA pretty consistently ever since his breakup with Kristen. I think he’s part of a bad crowd. I’m not trying to limit Rob’s responsibility here, but I do think the hard-partying LA crowd is more hardcore than his group of friends in England. But! He’s an adult, he makes his own decisions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob had fallen down the Chateau Marmont Hole of Doom. Does that mean that Rob was openly snorting coke at a club? Eh. But I do think he’s working out some stuff and I hope he comes through it all without some epic fall from grace.

    Non-story. Everyone in Hollywood does coke, even Sparkles.

    • Jan says:

      By Rob’s own words in several interviews, he has stated that he does not do drugs and being the private person he is, I highly doubt that he would snort coke in public view and then take the coke dealer back to his house. This is the most absurd story yet about Rob. I hope he sues Star for as much as possible. On GC site, they have debunked the story. Why does everyone go after Rob. I know, he is good reading material. I wish filming would hurry up and start so he can get out of LA. Believe what you want about Rob but no way would he mess up his career with drugs. Leave that to Zac and Joe Jonas.

      • Clever hand says:

        Um. You don’t know him. Just saying.

      • Eleonor says:

        The late River Phoenix was known to be the clean guy in Hollywood…

      • Dani2 says:

        Man, I’d hate to be Rob, the pedestal a lot of his fans have him on is so high, this story might be true but there’s no way because Saint Rob would never. None of us know him personally, hardly any one PLANS on doing coke and his doing coke doesn’t make him any less of an actor/person. It’s hollywood, it happens all the time.

  2. Nanz says:

    Name an actor that hasn’t snorted coke. This story isn’t controversial as much as it is a sad cliche. Blah.

    • Bucky says:

      Seriously. Literally all of them do it, on the regular. And the behavior of his “coke binge” sounds exactly like the behavior of my acquaintances who do coke on any given night. I don’t get the fuss. Is cocaine use good? No. Is it a shocking story? Also no.

      • Jackie Jormp Jomp (formerly Zelda) says:

        Yeah my past has its share of recreational drug use. Using cocaine throughout the evening is NOT what people are talking about when they talk about a binge.

  3. Mia4S says:

    Something went down. Star is careful in how they word things and this wording is not very careful!

    • Janice says:

      Paps caught Rob yesterday carrying takeout Chinese food and he looked amazing. Healthy and very buff.

      • Mia4S says:

        And Zac Efron looked so clearly like an addict? Corey Monteith? It means nothing. I’m not saying it happened, it’s just that Star is cautious enough that they would have…something.

      • Anname says:

        Cautious? The Star is one of the worst tabloids out there, and will print just about anything from any “source”, so I wouldn’t go around defending the Star.

        Rob has managed to stay grounded through several very weird and stressful years, so I very much hope he doesn’t fall into that mess now. Like someone said below, he seems like more a weed guy anyway.

      • mimi says:

        @Mia4S

        I was shocked and had no idea Corey Monteith and Zac Efron were so heavily into drugs until the rehab stories surfaced for both. They each had such squeaky clean public images, imho. I hope Zac can stay clean. I would think Corey’s death from drug overdose would have had an impact on Zac’s desire to get help and stay off of drugs for good.

        As for Rob, I would believe weed over cocaine as his recreational drug preference. I would guess weed and alcohol on his down time only. I don’t think he has a problem with either and certainly not any addictions to one or the other. There has never been any talk of him being strung out or under the influence of drugs on the set of any of his films. It’s no secret that Rob loves to party and hang out in some of LA’s biggest, most popular nightspots. But he also knows when it’s time to be sober and professional for his career. I believe (and hope) he has the ability to compartmentalize his downtime partying from work/career obligations.

      • Em says:

        Lol Zac looking healthy plz.. That coke bloat was pretty obvious.

  4. mia girl says:

    Maybe Sparkles is doing some stuff, who knows…

    But side eye to this Star story. It reads like a scene out of Goodfellas or Miami Vice. Doing coke with a key? How very 80s.

    • blue marie says:

      So true, where are the bright pink shirts and grey suits?

      And he strictly sticks to sniffing glitter so he won’t lose his “sparkle”

    • Another Ann says:

      Agreed. Highly doubt the “source” could have been at all three locations with him, including his home. Star just took the story about his supposed night out with Dylan Penn that was reported earlier (and was in those 3 locations), and added a coke chaser.

      Also find it hard to believe he’d be doing coke openly in public – and no one would mention it for 6 weeks? Or snap a highly lucrative cell phone picture?

      Not to say Rob is all innocent. He does sometimes hang with a shady crowd, and needs to clean that up if he really wants a career. He’d do well to get out of LA, and be careful of who he hangs out with.

  5. magpie says:

    Of course he did. Those “bad” friends are Katy Perry’s clan, no?

    • mimi says:

      I don’t think Katy hangs out much with that crowd anymore. She seems to be spending all of her free time in NYC with bf John Mayer these days. She’s not even hanging out with Rob anymore like she used to. She’s putting much of her focus on her relationship with John. Good for her.

      As for this story in Star about Rob. I’m not buying it at all. It’s Star magazine! They make up so many obviously fake stories about celebrities all the time that I’m sure this is just another fake one for hits and magazine sales.

  6. PunkyMomma says:

    I fear for Sparkles. You don’t see and pics of him with his Brit posse anymore, just that motley bunch that hang with Mo Al Turki.

    • Guest says:

      You have a selective memory. Jaimie Strachan visited him for a couple of weeks recently. They were photographed going into the Beyonce concert and with Beyonce at a meet and greet. Then on a grocery run in Beverly Hills. Boby Long and Same Bradley have visited him as well He had two people from New York over at his new house last week. The guy from a band and his girlfriend, Gambles and Britany Nolan. There is a picture of Britany in Rob’s swimming pool and with his dog Bernie. http://bit.ly/1fkMf8h http://bit.ly/GHtNI1

      • mimi says:

        @ Guest

        It’s bad enough you’re stalking Rob’s friend’s girlfriend on Instagram but posting the links to a picture of her at his home is beyond creepy. Plus a photograph of his swimming pool which looks like it’s from a real estate listing! Ewwwwww

      • PunkyMomma says:

        I believe you meant to say Bobby Long and Sam Bradley?

    • Heebeegeebee says:

      THIS. As soon as I read, numerous times, that he frequented the CM and Viper, well, enough said. And then there was a blind item about him and MAT spending time together. This brings it all together.

      • mimi says:

        @ Heebeegeebee

        Who’s MAT?

      • MisJes says:

        @Heebeegeebee: I agree, I’ve heard all those rumours about MAT and Rob too. He’s been photographed with Rob’s crowd (and many a troubled young Hollywood star) often enough too that it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine he dabbles in drugs.

        @Mimi: MAT is basically named by @Punkymomma above. He works as a producer and is rumoured to be the major supplier to young Hollywood.

  7. aims says:

    I have a feeling we’re all going to watch Rob’s true Hollywood story in a few years, and it will end badly. I hope I’m wrong. sadly, he’s turning into a Hollywood cliche.

  8. Tig says:

    Good grief- so GF stories don’t get enough hits/sells, so let’s start the drugging/ out of control rumors- that’ll get ’em going!
    All scoffing aside- regardless of what he is/isn’t doing, if going to CM or wherever stokes these kinds of stories, he should find other places to go!

    • bee says:

      I completely agree. This article is just a cheap shot for hits. Having said that, Rob should maybe stay off the party scene for a while. He invites this speculation by frequenting some of these places unfortunately. I see him more as a weed kind of guy anyway.

  9. bammer says:

    People in the entertainment biz do coke like other people eat chips.

  10. Sara says:

    They probably all go through a coke phase. As a matter of fact, in England coke is no big deal, kind of akin to marijuana in the states. It is a nasty drug though.

  11. Caroline says:

    Agree, doing coke is like drinking coffee in LA. Non-story.

    Also, he has said he hates the gym but loves to drink beer. If he doesn’t do a little coke, he’ll wind up bloated and look like Vince Vaughn in 2 years, so this may be a perfectly valid strategy to stay Sparkley.

  12. bee says:

    Meh, So Star held onto this exclusive for six weeks? This heralds from a blind item written after he appeared at the Viper Room with Dylan Penn. Bitter Stewart stans tweeted CDAN until they wrote the blind. End of. Has Rob done Coke? Probably. Was he doing that much Coke in the VR in front of everyone and no one saw except Star’s eyewitness? Nah. Rob’s in LA because he lives there and he hasn’t been seen partying with Al Turki in years. This story is complete bs IMO.

  13. bowers says:

    Who cares–

  14. eliza says:

    OMG! A celeb in Hollywood doing coke? Say it ain’t so!

  15. Mia4S says:

    The problem no one is thinking of on the “source” is that it’s very possible the source was at all three places…if the source was one of his “friends”. Very common for actors to be sold out by their so called inner circle.

  16. Tara says:

    I received my Star mag in the mail yesterday and no where in it is anything about Rob.

  17. Beth says:

    *sparkle sobs*

  18. Sister70 says:

    I don’t get why people keep insisting that Rob is out partying? He’s been seen at concerts with friends, but there aren’t pics or tweets about him at clubs, etc. Also his close friends and family come to him these days because he’s been working a lot in LA. Just more bullshit on the back of Robert to sell stuff.

  19. kim says:

    Yup he’s a cautionary tale now…blind gossip has a blind about this but it’s pretty obvious he got into the pathetic, hollywhore, drug enabling , “you’re so talented”, “no one gets me” excuse for being a high paid dirty junkie that will have a anti-drug narrative so ppl think he’s clean when he’s not bs.

  20. Annie says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he dabbled in some stuff here and there. Boy does love to party and the places he chooses to go to in LA can be interpreted as suspiscious, sure. But when a person truly is paranoid and worried about getting caught, like Rob probably is, you will not see them be this dumb in public unless their name is Lindsay Lohan. I mean, nobody even suspected that Zac Efron had any kind of problems and then boom – turns out he’s a huge cokehead and has been to rehab multiple times this year alone. People in Hollywood CAN keep things quiet when they want to. I don’t see Rob being this careless and stupid in public. Ever.

    I’m also one of the many that doesn’t understand why he doesn’t leave LA, but at this point we just have to accept that he really loves LA and he loves partying there. People tend to forget how Rob loved clubbing several times a week the year Twilight was coming out in theaters. If anything, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but being with Kristen pumped the breaks on that a little bit, and that was good.

    Also… If you know enough about the Chateau you know it’s a little suspect that he loves being there so much.

  21. MellyBee says:

    Cocaine is gross. Yuck. But as a 42 year old woman, I find Robert Pattison to be as delicious as a bag of candy. THOSE CHEEKBONES! THAT HAIR!! Whew, ok, gotta calm down now. All better now!

    • cyndi says:

      And as an almost (too damn close might I add!) 50 y.o. woman, I must agree!
      That last pic with the dark blue jacket and sunglasses has me wondering if this sweat I’ve developed is from my regular hot flashes or am I still *really* alive? :p
      He cleans up soooo nice!!

    • Emily C. says:

      As a 37-year old woman, I wonder what you’re smoking so I can stay away from it. He’s been looking moldy lately. And his choice of jobs is pretty disgusting as well.

      • Alita says:

        As a 35yo I’m sorta down with my 40s sisters here – bit on the rawr side to me! Better than when the offspring was watching Harry Potter with him as Cedric Diggory – I was mildly interested to see him come onscreen but he looked totally 15yo, if I’d found him hot there (didn’t) it would have been pedo. This is much better! 🙂

  22. Marcell says:

    Is anyone really that surprised? I mean, it’s Hollywood. Even if this story is false, coke is all over the place and in every club. Aside from that, almost everywhere you go people are doing coke, molly, ecstasy, “G”, aderall.. Sometimes all at the same time. I’m not surprised at all, it’s more accessible than ever right now to anyone- celebrity or otherwise.

  23. Gwenhamara says:

    I have no idea if this story is true or not but I do wish people would cut him some slack over his partying ways. He was 110% invested in Kristen for four plus years and then she turned his world upside down. He obviously adored her and it had to tear his heart out when she publicly humiliated him. He needs time to heal. LA is probably not the best place for that but he has to find his own way. I think he’s a decent guy and I hope that all ends well for him and that he finds someone who will help him move on with life.

    • SummersReign says:

      Are you his psychiatrist or something?

    • Emily C. says:

      No. He’s an extremely wealthy grown man with the world at his feet. I will not buy into “poor widdwe Wob, how he has suffered for having a romantic relationship fall apart in his 20s, none has suffered as much as poow widdwe Wobbie-poo-poo”. And anyone who cares about his career should not be woobifying him. That kind of thing is absolute poison for an actor.

  24. JS says:

    Do I think Robert Pattinson has done coke? Yes. For a private person as himself, no way would he be doing it in front of people he doesn’t know.

    Star Magazine has something on Rob, it’s printing the lesser story, who cares about an actor doing drugs. As previously commented, everyone in LA does it at one time.

  25. Russian girl says:

    nonsense
    He dhe BEST!

  26. Guest says:

    Death Grips, who Rob says he is friends with, has just released a statement via Pigeons and Planes saying Robert Pattinson and Colin Hanks are starring in film called Misoneism. Zach Hill, a member of the band, is directing it. So Rob hasn’t been partying all the time.

    • mimi says:

      @ Guest

      Isn’t it a short film that was made back in May?

      Even though I don’t believe a word in this Star article, nobody outside of Rob and his close friends know how much he does or doesn’t party. We only hear about it through legitimate sightings at clubs and bars, fan pictures or if the paps get lucky and take some pictures of him arriving or leaving. We only get to see a tiny glimpse of his life. And that’s exactly how Rob wants to live his life when he has free time…the least amount of public awareness and scrutiny as possible.

  27. Kenny says:

    Everyone says Rob is in LA since the breakup like he hasn’t been working at all. Lets state facts… 1-there’s twitter proof from twitter that Kristen fans sent this story to all tabs… They fully made it up bc they hate Rob and rob fans. 2- since January to May, the breakup month… He’s shot a movie, shot a commercial and full global ad campaign, June/July he’s shot a 2nd movie. And full PR campaign. 3- And prepping for his next movie, he also landed a role in a new movie since then. He’s been selling his house, London friends visit and hitting the gym. 4- Who relocates because they broke up there girlfriend and most of his friends in London travel lots so why move there when he travels most of the year, from movie set to movie set.
    That doesn’t sound like someone on a drug bender. We’ve ever heard any film crew, fashion PR, friends mention a hint of him and drugs. Repping a big brand and then going on a drug binge. Yeah no.

    • Lark says:

      I’m aware of the idiotic stan wars between the Sparkles and Sulky stans and that it provides all the “inspiration” for CDAN’s blinds about those two. However, Sparkles was photographed at the Viper Room and has been photographed at the Chateau quite a bit and is apparently seen at the clubs a lot. ANY actor, not just Sparkles, would probably be accused of a drug habit for hanging out at those places. He needs to be way wiser and avoid a place that is notorious for the amount of drug busts that used to go down and where a famous movie star OD’d (River Phoenix), because there is going to be shit said as long as he continues to visit those types of places and the CM on a regular basis.

      • MisJes says:

        Not to mention, he is often photographed hanging with certain people who are rumoured to be heavy into the drug scene.

  28. Corrie says:

    Can’t see any truth in the story except I hear the Kristen fans started this story from a picture they saw of Rob 2 yrs ago with Kristen and a guy who hangs out with Zac. So they spread this guilt by assoc story to GET BACK at Pattinson and his fans for being mean to Kristen by slandering him with a fake drug story. From what its been reported about his 2013, Rob hasn’t been “Hanging out” in LA – so much as working alot in 2013. He’s been working most of the year… His only LA crew, are a director and 1 producer – that have 3 films in Oscar/award contention this year.

  29. Lark says:

    I highly doubt Sparkles went on some public coke bender, but I do think he should get out of LA and move back to London. ITA with Kaiser that his whole circle seems like a very hard group. One of his stans on here mentioned the Death Grips, and when I heard that Brett Easton Ellis tweeted about being at some party he threw and that Sparkles was hanging with Michelle R (and I love Michelle, but…)….well, yikes. And hanging at places like the Viper Room and the Chateau on a regular basis…that isn’t great either. Anyway, I’m honestly surprised he didn’t move back to London. Unless he’s trying to be a mainstream star, he doesn’t have family in LA and most of his family and friends seem to be in London….so staying in LA seems kind of pointless.

    • k says:

      he can live wherever he wants to. rob is the only celeb I have ever seen people say he needs to move out of la.

  30. k says:

    well you can tell who is posting here. just remember rags go after every celeb. funny rags are right with their story about rob, but never nothing else.

    • Alita says:

      K, commenters say various celebs should move out of LA *all the time* – it’s common. Maybe it’s the first time it’s been said of a Twilight actor 😉

  31. k says:

    rob’s epic fall from grace? when? his career is doing good. he hasn’t been seen breaking the law. so when has this epic fall from grace supposed to happen? to the person that said he hasn’t been seen with his old friends. he was seen hanging out with Jamie and sam. both of which he has known since he was a teen.

  32. Emily C. says:

    Meh, it’s Star, so probably untrue. He is probably doing cocaine though. He hangs out at the Chateau Marmont constantly — people do not do that for the fruit juice.
