Alex Pettyfer might be Kristen Stewart’s new on-screen love interest.

The Magic Mike actor is in “final negotiations” to play the male lead opposite Stewart in the upcoming Nick Cassavetes film Cali, according to Variety.

No official casting announcement has been made.

Gossip Cop has reached out for confirmation of Pettyfer’s status with the project.

The plot revolves around lovers who sell a fake snuff film and run off, only to return to Los Angeles years later to rescue the woman’s younger sister from some bad people.

Stewart, of course, is best known for The Twilight Saga and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Pettyfer has appeared in projects including Beastly and I Am Number Four.

  • Regina1180

    He’s a grown man tweeting about a famous couple and even calls them by their cutesy name. I judge him hard, not gonna lie.

  • Regina1180

    What exactly don’t you believe? The statement came FROM her people. All GC is doing is reporting it.

  • Teresacarroll24

    Sorry but the statements speak for themselves…it’s all true

  • Golddigger99

    I’m happy about him being cast. He’s HOTT! Magic Mike proved it!

  • aquarius64

    Throwing this casting news out there as an attempt to get SWATH-gate off the front pages?

  • pooh bear

    So is Teddy C saying all of this BS cheating and apologizing stuff is made up and then the question is why? What is going on. Is this a red herring to throw people off the scent of what is really going on? So then, what is really going on. In thinking this all over, it just seems too made for Hollywood movie type script. And why haven’t we heard a peep from Rob’s people. Is he off somewhere drinking himself senseless? So many questions, so few answers. Aww Hollyweird, keep tuning in folks. BTW, ewww Kristen, making out with some 41 year old….just ugh.

  • Lill

    Well I wish her good luck in life I will keep on supporting her because she has made mistake but I have also made mistakes .

  • Golddigger99

    First of all, let me say that, from what we know, Rob was not in the wrong here, so he has no need to issue a statement. I doubt we’ll ever hear from him unfortunately. :( I would love to hear his side of the story.

    Also, Ted probably meant that by saying “Robsten know what they’re doing…don’t worry” he was probably referring to cleaning up these rumors. Kristen’s team knows that admitting she did wrong and quickly apologizing was the best way to get this over with. This completely cuts out the “did she/didn’t she” rumors, which in turn will burry this issue sooner rather than later. Rob’s people haven’t issued a statement and I think Ted was saying that ‘his people’ know what they’re doing. Remember…you can only put so many words in a Tweet…so using the hashtag Robsten allowed him to fit it all in.

    Although I’d like to believe it, I don’t think Ted meant it in a way that said what we’re reading is False and fabricated. I hope I’m wrong because God knows I never expected this to happen. They looked so happy, but then again, looks can be decieving. :(

    Again…this is just my opinion…

  • Regina1180

    No, Ted is hinting that this is a stunt.

  • Guest

    I’m glad they hired an asshole to play her love interest. She needs to suffer for a while. I’m actually shocked she’s still going through with the film , but I guess hollywood needs to stay on schedule. If I were her I’d move to Hawaii for a year and stay out of sight.

  • Ann

    EXACTLY! Poor Rob.

  • Gretch

    UGH, if they make a SWATH II I will seriously throw up. I can’t even handle thinking about BD 2. I hope K-Stew isn’t allowed to promote it.

  • Holls

    Which means he know nothing. The Director is married. He aint playing into no Ted Robsten fantasy game. They were cheating.

  • Jay

    Quite frankly it would serve her right to get stuck with prima donna Pettyfer. Maybe she can hook up with him next. If memory serves he likes to smack his girlfriends around.

  • Former KS fan

    For a year? She should go away for 5 years. It will be a long time before fans forget about this one. Dumb girl, what was she thinking?

  • bells

    Oh people get a grip, People magazine is so known to fabricate stories, if i believe every trashy stories in their mag i will be in cuculand. Im sure this story is fishy just like what they reported a few weeks ago about R n K getting married and K being pregnant.

  • somadyouthink?

    I agree. Maybe a rehabilitation center for mental illness, because there is something off with KStew at this moment. She sabotaged her entire career, life, and relationship, and I don’t think any sane person would have done this. Truly, I think she has cracked up big time! Medication for either Bi-polar disorder or ADD? Not a medical doctor and no offense to anyone who has these illnesses but this is just soooo freaking messed up, there has to be an reason. I don’t think stupidity constitutes as a disease but if it does, I hope it is not contagious. Alex should run far away from the project, though yes, I’ve heard that he is somewhat of a Prima Donna.. He is engaged to Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, so he may not be that bad!! Run Alex. Sorry if I’ve upset those of you who still can’t believe.. but I’m at the last stage of my grief and my anger can’t be contained. Hopefully I can get some sleep because I’m exhausted. I’ve cried so much today!

    Robert Pattinon – GOD BLESS!

  • Vanessa

    Great! 2 scums in the same movie, perfect!

  • bells

    Guess what R n K are in London right now, so much for this crap, i guess they eluded the paps from snapping pics of them taking off to London, and whoever issued the apology great job! Make sure to pick up the tab after dinner and drinks with your friends!

  • Kscrew up

    This is perfect casting. He’s supposed to be a giant asshole and hard to work with. Nothing more than she deserves. I’ll be surprised if this film every gets into production. I would think the funding would dry up, anyone who wants to invest in KScrew right now is insane.

    She’s box office poison. I’ll never pay to see her in a theater again and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. Maybe she’s bankrolling this movie herself. She needs to move to Siberia, not Hawaii. As far away as possible.

  • Bettye

    Any tabloid has parts that they fabricate, no matter if there is truth. Sometimes there whole story is untruth. It’s all in our conclusion from the evidence presented, if they have any. That’s why they are tabloids, they stretch the truth. We can only go by what the celeb says is true or we will never know the whole truth. I have seen angry celebs tell lies on others though.

  • Lisa

    He means that everything that comes out today is PR, from her people. They’re trying to spin this to make her look like a victim, and like Rob hasn’t already kicked her out, they’re trying to save her career. They think if it looks like Rob forgives her, then fans will forgive her.

    They’re crazy. People have their own minds and they don’t forgive cheaters, especially really stupid ones who throw everything away to have sex in a public parking lot in broad daylight. It almost looks like she wanted to get caught. Either that or she really is just a spoiled brat who thought she could have her cake and eat it too.

    But paying attention to anything Ted C says is just stupid. He’s a known liar and has fabricated most of what he’s said for the past five years. He’s just trash.

  • More Lies?

    Are you just going to keep posting lies? Rob is not in London with The Cheater. Just like Mrs. Sanders never called into a radio show. That was fabricated by a delusional shipper, too.

    Rob is in LA with Bobby Long, his old childhood friend. He’s not with KS at all, he threw her out of his house. She’s back at her mom’s house in the Valley, where she belongs. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

  • Pearl

    Good luck with trying to create false rumors. KStew made that statement to People, they didn’t invent it. They didn’t invent the pics of her in the car with Rupert going down on her, either. And there are 50 more photos to come out. So buckle your seat belt, Kristen ruined her own reputation and it isn’t going to stop being news for a long time.

    She cheated on one of the most popular, nice guys in the world. He’s always had more fans than her, and now that hers are dwindling, it’s really no contest. Rob said in BlackBook that the marriage rumors were fake, everyone knows that. He never had any intention of marrying her, and it’s good she was exposed as the homewrecker she is before it could ever even get to the engagement stage.

  • Bella

    I’m tired of this. She didn’t just make a mistake. She deliberately choose to cheat with a married man. It wasn’t some kind of accident. She’s an adult, she knew she was hurting Rob when she did it. She’s a selfish, heartless bitch who put what she wanted at the moment before everything else.

    She’s always wanted to have her cake and eat it too. She doesn’t deserve any sympathy, Rob and Mrs. Sanders do. Get your priorities straight.

  • Distraction won’t work here

    There’s a difference between tabloid rumors based on nothing and an article with photos and details. Kristen admits cheating, this isn’t a tabloid rumor. There are 50 more incriminating photos coming out, it’s all real.

    She’s a liar, cheat, and homewrecker. Her career is over. People don’t forget stuff like this. She was never very likable to begin with and now people have a real reason to dislike her. And avoid her movies.

  • katydid

    Rob said he wasn’t engaged to Kristen “yet”. That sounds like the idea of marrying her at some point crossed his mind. Unfortunately that makes Kristen’s behavior sound even worse.

  • katydid

    She knew she was hurting Rob when she did it? She knew she was helping to potentially destroy the lives of 2 innocent children as well. She knew the director was married and knew his wife – she was a co-worker. Kristen did a lot more than just hurt Rob on this one.

  • Wendy

    Yeah Diana Agron was really scared of him. She bailed on him.

  • Golddigger99

    I hope you are right, but it’s a lllooooonnnnngggg streatch. :(

  • Kate

    No, Rob’s direct quote was that the marriage rumors were made up. Then the guy who wrote the article added the “not yet” part.

    Rob never said that. He only said the marriage rumors were false, meaning he wasn’t going to marry her, period. Which is why the writer added the “not yet” part, but it was the writer’s opinion, not something Rob ever said.

    Obviously, Rob doesn’t talk about his private life, except to clear up fake rumors. He’s never going to marry her now, not that he ever was anyway. He never even said the word “girlfriend,” much less fiancee.

  • Skyler

    LOL so true.. Hard to take a man seriously when he carries on like a 12 year old girl

  • Skyler

    Totally agree. I think she did want to get caught. She has been saying that she wanted something bad to happen and well I guess now it has. It’s obvious that she isn’t happy with Pattinson. A happy person doesn’t stray. She just should ened it with him once and for all..now everyone is hurt. I feel for those 2 kids who have no idea what is going on.

  • Skyler

    I do realize that your a troll but you seriously do have some problems in your head.

  • Skyler

    Back to crappy indie films that nobody sees…poor her. Hope she made enough money from Twilight I find it hard to believe she will come back from this. Does everyone remember another indie Actress who ended her career by stealing. Kristen Stewart is this generations Winona Ryder. She just committed career suicide.

  • Sincerely Concerned

    If by some miracle, however unlikely, there’s an intern on Kristen’s PR Team combing through web comments and reporting up… if you can get Kristen out of Cali, DO IT NOW. A movie with a C-list co-star, glorifying the antics of faux snuff film making runaways, is probably not the best choice given recent events. Lay low, take a nice long break and then get this girl a role where her character has some integrity and morals. Perhaps it’s already too late. *cringes and shakes head as I realize that her next non-Twi role will include a nude threesome — in the front seat of yet another car* Oh dear. Damage Control? Bueller?

  • Tom

    I was just thinking she can kiss any hopes of an Oscar nomination goodbye. The Hollywood community will not embrace her after this, they’re all too afraid of the skeletons in their own closets. She wasn’t very well liked to start with, and now this scandal–she’s just trashed her own career. So stupid.

    And when OTR comes out, the critics will say she wasn’t even acting when she played a girl with no morals, having sex with multiple men. She’s not going to win any awards for that.

  • Lisa

    Yeah I remember that quote I want something to fuck me over or so …. and whining about her life being to easy

  • Lisa

    I am thinking about Balenciaga now, will she keep this work?

  • Aliana

    Seriously – mental illness???!?!? She’s a self-centered brat who obviously has no regard for the consequences of her actions. And if anyone needs meds, my dear, it may be you. Stop looking for reasons to justify her actions – she is just a selfish self-important immature starlet.

  • Eric Cohen

    Poor ses or no sex at all drove that girl into arms of a married man. Blame Rob. He knows thta he neglected her big time. Start from admitting that she is really yours! He is a big dick!

  • Lucia

    Kristen luck in your new life, you are very talented and have people supporting your choices, you’re sweet, beautiful, incredibly smart, it will pass ….. continue to live ……. I wish much strength and have peace for good choices

  • Trinty

    Very true….she asked for it so she got it. There was something wrong with their relationship to being with; if she really loved Rob she would not have cheated on him. No young couple has been able to recovery after such a public humiliation. If they aren’t over they will be soon enough. Don’t forget Kristen cheated with Rob on her then boyfriend Michael; this is why they were so private about their first getting together Kristen wanted to save face. Believe me Rob is thinking about this now. I adore Rob but it is kind of karma for him. You lose them the same way you get them, once a cheater always a cheater. Promoting BD2 is going to be awkward…I bet they do separate interviews or poor Taylor will be stuck between them for a different reason this time…UGH!

  • Chloe

    Ted doesn’t know shit that is why they got rid of him on “E” to many complaints about his lies.

  • Chloe

    Oscar?? Kristen has to learn how to act first. She only was cast because of the popularity with Twilight, and now I guess her performance on the couch. But, she was and is a terrible actress. Hollywood executives have been banking on her to bring her Twilight fans to the movies well that has dried up. Well that has changed you can see they have turned on her like a light switch.

  • Insatnlf

    I don’t know if the guy is a douche but he sure looks like one. I mean his physical appearance. Sanders looks no better and he is a confirmed douche already. It is just getting worse for her.

  • Lisa

    Karma :)

  • Get serious

    Wow – hope you never make a mistake in your life……

  • guest

    hmm, perfect match. two people with big egos, and all about themselves. can’t wait to see the headlines ‘is kristen cheating on repurt with alex?”

  • Jane

    Did all of you people forget an actress named Angelina Jolie? She broke up a marriage and it did not hurt her career one bite. She did not move off to Hawaii so people would forget about what she did. Hollywood did not select actor to play opposite her to punish her. Get over yourselves. I do wonder the age range of some of the comments on this site. I am going with under 20.

  • Golddigger99

    I don’t know about you, but I thought this news was long overdue…filming starts in a few weeks…

  • Golddigger99

    I’m still a fan of K-Stew, but you’re totally right! Her next few films are cringe worthy, especially after what she did. lol! Thanks for this laugh!

  • Just Wondering

    I swore I wasn’t going to comment or even read any of this anymore because honestly it none of my business or yours or any ones but the people directly involved. So here is my little rant, I don’t care what she did cause honestly we all have our own morals and opinions and I feel like this is no different than if my co-worker cheated on her husband – I am more than sure she has her reasons and they are her reasons alone and now it is up to her to decide if she can live with those as Rob needs to decide if he can live with the decisions he makes for himself. Where is your proof he kicked her out, where is your proof he is with Bobby – you call someone out for starting rumors when you are doing the same thing. The funny things is the mob of women coming out stating they hate her and won’t support her because of what she did. Are you shitting me – you didn’t support her before so what is the loss. I think the whole thing this proves is people to need to invest more in their own lives and stop wondering what the next person is doing in their private lives. It is not up to you to forgive her cause you have no direct effect on her life (as I stated above I doubt you went to her movies in support before anyway). They are not super heroes or these imperfect beings that people portray them to be, they are real people with real flaws. Also on that note – I doubt any of you know who ridiculous you sound when you keep saying Rob is perfect because the way he looks…..just wow. This is not entirely directed at you but just a response as a whole to the comments here, because I bet a bunch of the hypocritical people on here would cheat on their spouses to be with Rob. I hope in life you never do something that you can be judged on, cause I hear being stoned hurts like a bitch. Also I am not a Kristen or Rob fan – I am a movie fan.

  • Guest

    I agree – why should Rob feel anything about the goings on of a woman he never even stated he was in relationship with? He never claimed her anything other than a friend and coworker – why is he even part of this discussion?

  • Lisa

    Well, we can call her Krisgelina ;)

  • Regcamster

    is she gonna try to screw him next?

  • Guest

    You people are making assumptions about people you DO NOT know! Wow. Hollywood gossip is 1% fact and 99% crap for publicity. You can’t belueve everything you read. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors except the parties involved! Stop judging people you don’t know just because they sin differently than YOU do! Yes, she got caught kissing another man and she has apologized. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone! Whatever people!

  • Stealthnugget

    Hmm, Pettyfer reminds me of Chris Hemsworth with the hair, the scruff and the tux like that. Anyway, the plot sounds a bit boring. Not as bad as I am Number Four or Twilight (obviously)…

  • melanie

    Jolie did not break up a marriage. Jen and Brad separated in January 2005 and she filed for divorce in February after months of trying to work out their bad relationship, as she said in her own words. The previous fall they went on one last vacation to try to patch things up, but it did not work, they both agreed to go separate ways. Brad would have left even in Angie had not been around. He may have been attracted to her during filming and not put as great an effort into his marriage as he should have, but that is not Angie breaking up his marriage, that his Brad himself. Stop blaming her, no one can break up a marriage except for the people in it.
