Gossip Cop Thinks Sites Should “Audition” New Robert Pattinson Material
1:04 pm, January 4th, 2010
Just because the calendar now says 2010, why shouldn’t outlets report “news” from 2008?
Take British OK!, for instance, which saw fit to “report” that Robert Pattinson tried out for “Twilight” “because of Kristen Stewart.”
In the item, Pattinson expresses admiration for Stewart’s acting. ”The only reason I went to the audition,” the magazine’s site quotes Pattinson as saying about the vampire series, “was to see Kristen because I’d just seen Into The Wild.”
Hmm. Those comments sound really familiar.
Maybe because they come from press Pattinson did for the first “Twilight” movie… two years ago.
And because they were already recycled (over and over) last summer.
What’s especially frustrating about outlets rehashing the “audition” comments now — with many of them claiming Pattinson’s revelation constitutes “breaking news” — is that they do so in direct connection to current reports that the pair “spent New Year’s together in the UK.”
But, since they have little new, useful information to provide, they build Pattinson-and-Stewart headlines around old quotes.
Gossip Cop can’t wait for 2011, when the press junkets for “New Moon” will be considered cutting edge!
