INSIDE SCOOP: Robert Pattinson Vanity Fair Rumors Unraveled

Truth rating: 10

EXCLUSIVE!
(Vanity Fair)

(Vanity Fair)

Math isn’t our strong suit, but we estimate we’ve received seventeen quadrillion tips today about the December issue of Vanity Fair, rumored to quote Robert Pattinson denying outright any romance with Kristen Stewart.

Well, Gossip Cop got the inside scoop from a source at the magazine. Here’s what went down.

In interviews conducted during July and August, Pattinson and Stewart apparently denied being an item.

“It doesn’t make any difference what you say [to the tabloids],” Pattinson told writer Evgenia Peretz. “I’ve literally been across the country [from Kristen], and it’s like, ‘Oh, they were on a secret date!’ It’s like, ‘Where? I can’t get out of my hotel room!’”

At the time, Peretz also reports that Stewart said, “It’s so retarded. We’re characters in this comic book.”

Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the pair in “Twilight,” however, is quoted as saying, “What Rob and Kristen had is a multitude of feelings for each other. Complex feelings for each other. It was what we needed. Complex, intense fascination.”

That was this past summer.

BUT

Since those interviews were conducted, it has been reported that Pattinson and Stewart were seen at several concerts together, sharing meals, and otherwise appearing close.

According to a rep for Vanity Fair, shortly before the interview was turned in, Peretz contacted reps for both actors and Summit Entertainment to again confirm or deny a possible relationship, and suddenly this time they would not offer a comment.

So while the article’s text says Pattinson tells Peretz rumors of a love affair were false and supplies the aforementioned quotes, it’s important to note that those statements are months old and may not reflect current circumstances.

We’ll keep following this story to get you the truth… or you can just read some of those tabloids for kicks!

    Well well well

    *Bows down in awe of Gossip Cop again*

    Im not suprised Scummit would give a no comment, they are hardly going to admit to their dealings with the pr fiasco they throw at Robsten. Scummit are dealing with this wrongly again.
    LOL now im dreading what Ok will come up with next. Hahaha

    Who cares about the rumors? Dating, not dating? Personnaly, I don’t ! I’m only happy to see the result of New Moon on a screen….
    However, the shoot from Vanity Fair has some of the best pictures of Rob ever taken. They are beautiful !
    That’s how I like him.
    The rest is, well, private I guess so it’s none of my business ;o)

    I happen to know Rob wanted to make some changes to the story and VF would not allow it. So VF’s statement that they contacted the actors for further comment is a LIE! They seem to be on a campaign to make Rob look really bad…a drunk, dirty, paranoid, weirdo? The author of the story denies the relationship but the quotes Rob and Kristen supposedly give do not back up the claim. Plus, the quote attributed to Kristen was from an interview she gave last year to another mag! I think VF was so eager to have an exclusive they were willing to do anything to get it.. Can you say tabloid journalism…VF is no longer credible!! I won’t be buying this issue or any in the future!

  • minuit passe

    I noticed during their interview at Comic Con somthing that nobody talked about.
    When Rob said “Shut up” because Kristen was behaving childlish and was looking for reasons not to listen to him, she said discretely “I’m doing it”. So that’s why I thought they had something going on and apparently had a fight.
    What do you think about that?

  • TKB

    seems to me like you’re twisting an innocent fact, Gossip Cop. R and K’s rep never comment on their personal lives, that’s nothing new. In fact, if they had nothing to say about the interview, it’s more than likely because they had nothing to change.

    Raven – if Rob had contacted Vanity Fair to say he wanted to change his story and say they were dating, VF would have JUMPED on the occasion. It would be the scoop of the year. So, I’m doubting that’s what he wanted to change, if he did want to change something.

    I think yes they are toghter now. This was done drying ween Kristen was trying to work kings our with mike. Now everyone knows now kristen and mike are over. If this ture why has rob and kristen ween asked about this they woun”t anwer. They have stayed a hotles toghter and have been seen toghter everywhere.

  • Jules

    This interview and Gossip Cop’s response doesn’t prove or disprove anything.

    The fact that the interview was given in July or August may mean some answers are no longer valid, however, sites/blogs (such as Ted Casablanca at E) have been spewing this Robsten bit for since January.
    They were together for Rob’s birthday, Kristen’s Birthday, dinner alone after the MMVAs and let’s not forget the video from the Charlie hotel on the morning after,on June 1st, to name a few.

    The denial on both sides were after these “sightings”.

    If Gossip Cop’s chooses to use the fact that they’ve been spending time alone AFTER the interview was given as a way to doubt the validity, in the interests of keeping unbiased, shouldn’t you also mention that PRIOR to the denial they did spend time alone as well?
    You can’t have it both ways. Either the alone time means something or it doesn’t.

  • Jules

    Last part should have read:

  • agrl4god80

    This is so dumb to me…I have my own opinions on the matter but overall I really don’t care, it’s their lives…however, I love (hate) everyone’s justifications. Yes, I agree, they’re a little too friendly with each other if they’re not dating…however,when filmiing Twilight they acted the same way and they constantly denied rumors of dating. Then they filmed New Moon and rumors got hotter, but they still denied it. Eventually they stopped talking about it all together (which is fuling the fire even more). Then the rumors just got worse and worse while they did other projects and now Eclipse. I don’t care if that interview was from 3 months ago…because I remember 3 months ago, people were talking the same way they are now…and people still said that they were dating. I think Robert’s right, it doesn’t matter what they say, the tabloids are going to say what they want. However, being secretive (if they are dating), or acting like they’re dating (if they’re not)…is just adding fuel to the fire. So they BOTH have to take some responsibility for the rediculous articles. But overall, everyone needs to get a life. Rob and Kristen are just people…very lucky people. And all the rediculous maulings, and mobs of fans (teeny boppers), etc…are causing them to be almost rude at times and not fan friendly anymore. Be respectful!!!!!!!!!!

  • DATING

    maybe they were dating and no longer are. nothing will convince me they weren’t together during new moon filming…too much evidence to the contrary. my guess, rob broke things off with kristen and this ‘just friends’ line he’s pulling now is his publicists attempt at spinning positive PR for him. who wants to look like a drunken slob who sleeps with his teenage co-star and drops her when they’re not filming together? not good for his hollywood image at all. well whatever he was trying to gain by this fiasco, it was a major fail. he looks like a drunken player who just used kristen for a convenient lay while they were on set together. he was rumored to have screwed around all summer then goes back to sleeping with her when they’re back on set again. she’s young and impressionable…probably fancies herself in love with him even. he’s just a user and a manwhore. rob, you lost a lot of fans today with this garbage. good luck filling the seats with your future projects. karma can be a b*tch. wait and see…

  • TKB

    Well Dating, whatever happened, Kristen is obviously not upset at him, so I don’t see why you should be. Plus why do you assume Rob is the evil one? For all we know, Kristen had her way with him and then dumped his as$.

    I’ll never understand why people are so convinced the KNOW the truth about Rob and Kristen’s private feelings. All I know is that Rob is gorgeous, funny and talented. It’s enough for me, no matter who he dates or doesn’t date.

  • stelange

    i mostly lurk and dont want to give comments cuz i dont want to spoil other’s theory, out of respect, but i guess i have to say something. we can see that when this couple were filming they seemed to be they have their own bubble that is why people insists that they are together. i would say that, yes they seemed to be so into each other, the comfort level is beyond what it has expected. but cant we just say that they are in a dating stage. we all know that kris just broken up with mike and if i were her, i wouldnt be branded as a slore who would just grab the next guy come my way. maybe she is in a process of recovering from the break up and rob was there to help her. and of course at that point they are developing a relationship for themselves. i stopped giving comments/posting on the other board because of the outrageous theories the regs would like to create around this couple, though i just read just to get update. they are insanely passionate, i dont want to read anymore. let’s play it like they are in a courting stage, old fashioned? why not. but it is more plausible, right?

  • Kambria

    I agree with some of you. This whole fiasco is probably why Rob and Kristen never confirm or deny a relationship. Vanity Fair used quotes that hinted at a denial, and people went crazy. Suddenly Rob is a player, a liar, and so on, and these are comments from those who claim to be his fans. They are both being accused of leading their fans on and playing games, and there are several “fans” claiming that they will boycott anything Rob or Kristen related from now on. You can have your opinions, but when you start making up hurtful scenarios that make these people look bad because you heard something you didn’t like, that’s crossing a line.

    If there is no Robsten, what’s the big deal? He’s said before that Kristen is the only person who can relate to what he’s going through with the Twilight mania. The two of them hanging out with each other and enjoying each other’s company during the craziness is not leading the fans on. If Kristen wants to hug Rob like she does Nikki, Taylor, or the rest of the cast, she should be able to without everyone reading something into it. If there is a Robsten, ditto. Be happy that they’re happy. If they are together and don’t want everyone to know, then fans should respect that.

    Frankly, it is none of our business. There’s practically a war going on between the Robstens and the Nonstens, and it’s making the entire fandom look bad. I’m not going to argue with anyone over whether they are or aren’t a couple. That shouldn’t matter. If a confirmation or a denial causes your blood to boil, chances are you need to take a step back and look at what you’re getting so upset about. Is it really worth it?

  • goof1

    Why are people hating. He never denied dating kristen. He said the rumors of him flying across country to meet her were not true. Not once did he say the other stories were false. he never claims they are not an item. Only that the across country dates were not true. pay attention. who cares if he drinks he is old enough.

  • Chloe

    I agree with some of the comments posted. But, people seriously get a grip. I don’t recall Kristen nor Rob every saying they were a couple. I saw a lot of made up rumors from sites like Ted C. “The awful Truth”, and “X17-online”. Lots of pictures taken of these 2 were doctored to appear to be something other then what it was including the KOL concert. People even attacked Taylor when it appeared he was getting to much press or was with Kristen more then he should be. We really don’t know if Kristen and Mike have actually broken up. The so called pictures of him with another girl only showed them talking. DAMN she could have been his cousin or something. I don’t think this article is any different from what Rob as said of himself in the past. Plus if you are fans you know he has an untidy appearance why would his room be clean? I agree with Kambria I’m not going to argue with anyone about this because you can’t win, when people want to put their ideal of a fantasy off on other people. That is what has happen with Rob and Kristen and it is a Bloody shame…. Did anyone ever stop to think they may not even be attracted to each other in a romantic way? Once they got to really know each other. Or, that Rob is too old for Kristen to begin with…she is only 19 people.

  • dmsm24

    LOL…read some of those tabloids for kicks :) NEVER!!!

    I haven’t nor will not read any of the above comments posted, because I have been following GC for a long time and already know the truth. The Vanity Fair mag is using months old words of an interview; shame on them. Vanity Fair should have printed that interview, at least a month, after it was taken. Come on people (Vanity Fair), now you are becoming a tabloid :(
    The only thing that I really hate of the late info was that Rob’s dog, Patty, died during Christmas and we are just now finding out. WOW, that is the only thing new Vanity Fair wants to share with us, sad.

    GC, sorry man, that you had your hands full yesterday, but muchly appreciated.

  • cccobb

    http://www.gopetition.com/online/31835/sign.html * This actor was a poor choice to play Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie franchise. He has little to no formal acting training and has made a laughing stock out of these films due to his incessant drinking, womanizing and unprofessional conduct in his personal life. He has proven himself unworthy to carry out these films to their fullest potential and should immediately be released from his contract and replaced with a more suitable actor for the fourth film. If our demands are not acknowledged and met, we will boycott the release of this as well as the other remaining films in the series. Regards.

  • Kambria

    cccobb, I usually do not resort to name-calling, but if the shoe fits…

    Any person that signs that petition is pathetic. Get a life. Fans like you are the ones that have made a laughing stock out of the films. You don’t know this man. You’re only getting upset over what you’ve heard about him. Incessant drinking? Watch the behind the scenes footage. He was never drunk on set. Womanizing? There was never any concrete proof that he and Kristen Stewart or Nikki Reed, etc. were more than just friends. If you believed it, that’s your problem. Unprofessional conduct in his personal life? What the actors do when the cameras aren’t rolling is their business. Also, I can’t think of any unprofessional conduct worthy of getting him fired.

    What are you hoping to accomplish? Twilight is out, New Moon is about to be in theaters, and Eclipse is already finished filming. Robert Pattinson isn’t going anywhere because a few delusional twits decide to throw a hissy fit. He’s not the almighty Edward Cullen. He’s a normal human being who has flaws and makes mistakes just like the rest of us. The sooner you realize that, the better.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Irene-Chartofilis/1178924092 Irene Chartofilis

    Ditto to Kambria’s comment.
    How dare you cccobb make such comments? A petition really??? Why all the hate?
    If you don’t like him don’t go looking for articles about him, easy….

    Because people can’t find any real dirt on Rob they are exaggerating what little they read. So what if he has a few beers after work in his own room? God I have a glass of wine after work to unwind after a hard days work does that make me a bad person? And I don’t have the paps on my back ready to tell the world my every move.
    I don’t know too many guys that care about cleaning their room, do you?
    Lets back off and stop all this media madness, admire him if you want and if you hate just keep it respectful no need for the cruelty OK?

  • Facebook User

    @ Dating…seriously? Why would you act like such an ass about Rob when none of us know him? As far as you speculating he is a manwhore WTF. He can’t even really go anywhere without a barrage of bratty little fangirls chasing him so how is he gonna go pick up on every woman around or are you suggesting he has slept his way through every female on the movie set, at summit and God where else….As far as being a drunken slob, you know do what he drinks. So do I. He has a messy hotel room, I have a messy house what does that prove. I guess we are both disgusting drunken slobs…geez time to go kill myself. Why do you automatically think it is Rob who is at fault here? He was smitten from the start and Kristen kept him at arms length because they were really really great friends in this big bubble as someone else said. They did have an intense relationship that they needed to make the movie believable. As for not going to movies because of specualtion of all this or even Robsten, I am a staunch Nonsten but I STILL will go to their movies reguardless of the outcome of their relationship, I will NOT be devastated if they are together etc. so no Robsten/Nonsten hate although quite a few of the angry Robstenites bother me, I don’t hate them. @cambria and chloe I agree with what you are saying and last but not least @cccobb WTF are you thinking? 1st, Edward is a done deal and nothing is changing no matter what you try and do at this point. 2nd, what does his personal life have to do with this? He is not and won’t be the last actor to go out and enjoy himself, have relationships with women and just be who he is without conforming to what others think he should be. I respect that part of it. Unworthy of these films and to play Edward Cullen…last time I checked, Edward wasn’t the messsiah. Some of you fans act like he is a real person or a God and in all reality he is a character in a book who is flawed and Rob is a human that is flawed like the rest of us making him perfect for the role. Professionally trained or not he is a brilliant actor. Go See Little Ashes and How To Be.

  • Imagine

    I wanna know about the Harper’s Bazaar buzz are those pics real? what about that issue??

  • Aphrodite83

    Hey guys stop all the hate.Rob has been nothing but humble,polite and hardworking.It is so hypocritical to love him when the rumours please you and hate him when they do not.lets not 4get that most of these stories are rumours and who gives a damn if they are true?Rob is entitled to his privacy, to date whoever he wants,to smoke as much as he wants ,to drink and to pile up his laundry for as long as he wants.Rob is NOT Edward.He doesn’t have to be perfect.People….lets keep it real.

  • Suin

    Someone sent me over here to lol at the comments. Wow. Some of you guys make convicted stalkers seem totally harmless. Have you got no lives? Do you know the difference between fantasy and reality? Nuts!

  • Cleo

    Harpers Bazarre is DELICIOUS. They are outted people. Face facts jealous little fangirls. Even the Vanity fair piece has now included in it’s complete text, that since their interview in June, the status of Pattinson & Stewart’s relationship may have changed. In the Harper’s piece they each answer this question, ‘Who is the most romantic?’ Kristen says Rob. I love the pic of him down on his knees with Kristen, proposing. Love them.

  • truthinmedia

    Poster “cccobb” is on a smear campaign. This exact same comment is posted on the VF site. I smell a jealous actor or other industry-related person who feels spurned by Rob’s success. Thank you Kambria, for speaking the truth! Over the past year, Rob has been doing nothing but working and trying to keep a low profile. Imagine if most 23 year olds had a work schedule as grueling as his! And every producer/director who has worked with him has had nothing but positive comments about his professionalism amongst other things!

    Pattinson (and his sizzling chemistry with KStew) is the whole reason I even became interested in Twilight (I’d previously been avoiding it because of the teenage stigma attached). Even Kristen said he brought the element of “a thoughtful, tortured soul” to the role when the THOUSANDS of other actors auditioning for the role simply played Edward off as a catalog model!!

    Cleo – please don’t assume that if we don’t believe in a “Robsten” that we are jealous fangirls. We simply are waiting for authoritative proof and confirmation rather than inventive fantasies. AND, for some of us non-jealous and non-girls (as in, more mature women) it is not a big deal! They can be friends. They can be lovers. Doesn’t matter as long as they can still work together and finish up the series well. And then I will really be interested to see how they do in the rest of their projects outside of Twilight. I’m a fan, but I don’t obsess over their love life. It’s just not that important to me!

  • Cleo

    Excuse me ‘truthinmedia,’ you’re not a jealous fangirl then, just a jealous mature woman – of which there are many of those too. Perhaps you don’t ‘obsess over their love life,’ that’s often the way most people live in denial, they try to avoid anything that is even close to being personal. But take it from someone who does read blogs, interviews with co-stars and industry peers as well as look at footage and photos of these two, and the last thing their relationship could be called, is an ‘inventive fantasy,’ (yes, I’ll pardon your redundance), or maybe you’d like to lecture their director Catherine Hardwicke who told us they were a couple a good 2 months ago. As for your awaiting a press conference from them before you’ll believe. That’s great hon. I remember jealous mature women doing the same thing regarding ‘Brangelina,’ who never confirmed their relationship either, and then one summer they popped out Shiloj Jolie Pitt. So you keep waiting honey, me and the rest of the ‘ROBSTEN’ fans will have plenty to occupy ourselves with in the meantime with these two lovebirds. By the way, some are saying that the latest HB cover story infers they’re married. :)

  • Kambria

    Cleo, why are you always trying to pick a fight? You are so mean-spirited. It is possible for shippers and non shippers to get along. You don’t have to be nasty to everyone who disagrees with you. Go look at the Harper’s Bazaar pictures and think happy thoughts. As for a confirmation or a denial on the relationship, Kristen Stewart has made it clear in the latest Entertainment Weekly interview that they aren’t going to offer either.

  • truthinmedia

    Cleo, thank you for the psychoanalysis. You’ve saved me much time and money. I will inform my darling husband that I am a “jealous mature woman”. I’m sure he’ll be amused by it. Anyhow, I’ve other things to do than spend my hours cyberstalking stars. I just don’t understand people taking actors lives so close to heart. I simply enjoy these 2 actors and hate to see them being harassed for not doing anything at all. They aren’t like so many other banal Hollywood type who get into trouble and act like idiots. Why can’t people move on to the celebs that obviously crave the spotlight and leave these 2 alone?

  • Facebook User

    @thruthinmedia ~ because ROBSTEN gives them something to live for, as I lay down in the fetal position crying my eyes out at the mere fact that Rob and Kristen might be together <—–insert sarcasm here (I believe Chloe accused me of this once.

    Thanks ~
    The old shrew that is love with Robert Pattinson waiting for his proposal that will never come because he is already married to Kristen (right Chloe??) :D
