Mag’s Latest ‘Twilight’ Story Should Be Dumped

Truth rating: 0

(Life & Style)

The only thing more exhausting than the tabloids’ atrocious coverage of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is their habit of throwing together so much garbage, it takes multiple reads just to untangle it.

Life & Style has a “world exclusive” today: Pattinson “dumped” Stewart.

The tabloid, of course, is embarrassingly out of step when it comes to the two Twilight-ers.

In the past the mag claimed there was a massive conspiracy to keep possible a romance between them “under wraps” until fall 2010, when Breaking Dawn begins production… and then it negated its own theory by insisting Stewart’s attendance at Pattinson’s Remember Me premiere was a grand “public” declaration of a relationship.

The whiplash didn’t end there. Life & Style revised its interpretation of the premiere, insisting that Stewart was there instead to “send a message” to Pattinson’s co-star, Emilie de Ravin.

But its cover story today is a true work of art.

“Finally Rob’s Fed Up With Miserable Kristen,” screams the cover that alleges she’s been “dumped!”

The first bit of “evidence” is that Pattinson “let slip” on “The Today Show” his thwarted desire to go on a regular date given intense paparazzi scrutiny. Then the mag quotes an “insider” who claims Pattinson called it quits with Stewart in England, declaring them “done.”

In the very next paragraph, a different “insider” says, “Rob and Kristen are together mostly — but it’s not exclusive.”

So are they “done” or “together mostly”? Because those two things are kind of opposites.

“The real-life romance [of Pattinson and Stewart] has been staked through the heart,” begins the Life & Style piece. But according to the tab’s own “insider,” who revealed the supposed British breakup, “When he meets up with her they start flirting again and get caught up in all the romance.”

So was the romance “staked through the heart,” or are Pattinson and Stewart “caught up in all the romance”? Because those two things are kind of opposites.

Pattinson is looking but feels he “hasn’t found his soul mate,” explains Life & Style. But the tab’s own second “insider” says, “I guarantee you this guy looks at other girls, calls them, texts them and hooks up.”

So is Pattinson searching for a soul mate or hooking up with random women? Because those two things are kind of opposites.

The weirdness of Life & Style‘s article continues: Stewart is supposedly “having second thoughts” about breaking up with one-time boyfriend Michael Angarano, who the magazine’s conspiracy theorists believe is “hoping for a run-in with his ex,” because he supposedly crashed Katy Perry‘s MTV Movie Awards afterparty.

Stewart wasn’t there, but “tellingly,” according to a so-called eyewitness, Angarano stayed for only half an hour, “appeared out of place and didn’t seem to be enjoying the party.”

Take a moment to consider how desperate Life & Style is.

Because Michael Angarano reportedly stayed for only a bit at a Katy Perry party that Kristen Stewart didn’t even attend, Life & Style claims it shows that he has a weird wish to torment Stewart… which supposedly reveals that Stewart is hung up on Angarano… which contributed to Pattinson’s decision to “dump” Stewart… even though once you read past its sensational headlines, Life & Style doesn’t even have the courage to conclude that Stewart has been dumped.

Confused?

So is Life & Style.

Once upon a time, the tab’s articles contradicted each other from one week to the next.

Now the articles contradict themselves within two pages.

    I’m so dizzy my head is spinning. These poor kids. I don’t know how these magazines can be allowed to make all these stories up. The saddest part is people beleive what they read. If there really are sources that say these things they should have enough guts to be named or just stop talking. If even 1/10 is true and is given by a source close to the couple, then shame on them for betraying a friends loyalty for a few bucks.

  • alynn

    Kristen said in Australia don’t believe what you read in tabloids (if you did as she did when she was younger). Rob’s real life sourceable friend said he knows for a fact he’d like people to focus on the work. Are those requests too sane for everyone to grasp somehow?

    I’d just really like it if everything worked out in a way I could enjoy both of their careers for a long while in future. Strangely, I was kicked off a ‘Robsten’ and another mean hyena site for saying this, so I’m just wondering (in isolation) if the whole world has gone nutters and why.

  • alynn

    I hate to get all waxy philosophic on ya, but no one, and I mean no one signed up to be a relationship personal Jesus here. Sometimes I wonder what would happen to Him in the tabloids if He walked among us? There’s a screenplay in that I think… Yikes.

    Why didnt you debunk the story that Kristen will dump Rob when she’s got what she can get from associating with him. Why because your Kristen’s pr team thats why

  • alynn

    Hi Sarah Boots,
    Wow. That’s a really dramatic and entertaining subplot you have going on. I enjoy it and wouldn’t want to harsh your gifted creativity, but in reality GC publishes many positive reports on both RP and KS, so I don’t think your PR premise is correct.

    Also, it’s a known fact that KS doesn’t derive anything publicly from her association with RP. On the contrary, she endures salacious and unwanted intrusive heat for it (your comment included). Privately, KS doesn’t need his financial attributes or professional associations since hers are currently more considerable than his. This is a quiet fact no one is classless enough to parade. Let’s just cross those misleading motives off the record please. KS is one of the rare few who has nothing but personal satisfaction to gain from associating with RP, and she pays for that in horrendous gossip, professional and personal attacks. Why? She probably really, genuinely cares for him to withstand it AND she enjoys him as a professional partner too.

    Uh, Dear Sarah Boots at 4:17pm –
    .
    YOU, are a jealous insane stalking cow, who hates the girl that is with your imaginary fantasy boyfriend.
    .
    GET. A. LIFE.
    .
    You need a reality check: read the latest LA Times where people (including Rob) have been clamoring to work with Kristen Stewart since she was 16-17 yrs old. She’s a bafta award winning, critically acclaimed young actress, sorry but – she doesn’t need ‘cred,’ she already has it – as well as the respect from her peers and elders….and anyone who knows her, and those who don’t but have a brain – can see plainly that this is a kid who didn’t become an actress to sign up for this kind of overwhelming fame and insanity (which inevitably brings unwarranted catty b*tchy vitriol from nasty cows like YOU). Only a hag without a life, would try and make the argument that Kristen WANTS ‘fame thru association.’
    .
    The fact that she IS with Rob, and that both of them are willing to put up with the ‘intense crazy,’ from people like you…tells me all I need to know about them: namely, that they’re obviously in love, have loyalty to each other and committment — they must be pretty airtight.
    .
    So sorry Sarah, that your masturbatory fantasies are ruined by the FACTS…again, get a life – or a vibrator.

  • alynn

    Yeah, search the heart of your fandom and ask yourself if you can support their choices, projects and interests or what’s really in the way of that. Address what’s in the way, and if you still can’t manage it then GTFO, right after you excuse my French. There are plenty of optional Seyfrieds and Effrons awaiting your attention. Dig?

    Here we go again! Before the premiere of each of these films. The Robsten rumors hit a fever pitch. Last year while he was filming Remember Me, supposedly Rob dumped Kristen because she couldn’t make up her mind…the headline read “Rob, says it’s over”. Then it was all of the rumors that she was pregnant, engaged, they were setting up house, they broke up, they didn’t. Next week another tabloid will have them getting engaged! The day that Eclipse finished filming, the headlines read…Kristen and Rob were over because she wanted him to stay in LA and he wanted to back to England. The next issue when they were getting along so well during their press tours, the headlines was that they were so in love! I guess the b.s. won’t stop until the last Twilight Saga film is completed. Last night on Jay Leno, Rob made fun of the tabloids. He teased his mother for reading them. In Australia as Alynn stated, Kristen said that when she was younger she used read the tabloids but, when she started to become a tabloid item herself with lies, she realized that they couldn’t be trusted.

    Kristen really has nothing to lose by dating Rob, but she hasn’t anything to gain either. She had a steady career prior to the twilight saga. Rosenberg said that one of the major reasons that Bill Condon and Chris Weitz wanted to work on the films was Kristen.

    I just saw an interview during the time that she filmed “Fierce People”. She was calm, she didn’t constantly stutter, pause, get flustered, mess with hair. It was a more open Kristen. It was before she was being constantly scrutinized. Rob, Taylor, Kellan, Ashley, Anna, Jackson all have left their home states,countries to seek fame and fortune. Kristen however started working at a very young age and fell in love with the process but wasn’t looking for fame of the magnitude that the Twilight Saga has brought her. She has learned to embrace it for the opportunities it has afforded her but is still uncomfortable with it.

    I agree with most of Alynn’s, second paragraph on her 4:49 p.m. post.

    I don’t speculate whether they are dating or not, but since these two have never given out any information, I doubt that they would release any now. They are both young, talented and attractive. There’s no reason to insult one over the other.

  • crmomof2

    I just something funny…US magazine, same week comes out with pictures of their “love nest”. It even has a photo ot a house that they are supposed to be sharing for the summer. You can be sure that if they were sharing this house, they have run away from home by now. How funny…to opposing rumors in the same week! LOL

  • KateWinterman

    These stories get printed because the magazines sell. I haven’t bought any of these rags in well over a year and I wish all fans of the saga/actors would commit to doing the same. It’s just awful.

  • alynn

    Geez, that’d be ‘love nest’ number 3 they’ve been hounded out of, during breakup number 6 and soulmate number 4 with concerned friend or family confession number 11 – right? Some even during the same week. Kate is right – it’s all compost liner. I’d rather spare the trees used to print it.

  • crmomof2

    I don’t buy those magazines but somebody must because they keep printing the garbage. I’m with you Kate and Alynn…the more that we purchase the magazines the more b.s. they will print. If people wouldn’t buy them maybe they would start writing the truth…what a concept.

    I’m amazed that these tabloids get away with the bs they print…………….why can’t these celebs sue the mags?

    The other thing is,where do the reporters that do these articles get their information?
    Don’t they research anything before their stories are printed…….it’s a disgrace that they’re allowed this sort of freedom………..freedom to print bs.

  • kate

    Taysten lives losers! Ted hinted.

  • Penelope

    I like it much more that Life&Style called the wedding between Prince William and Kate M. off on this cover….Says it all.

  • chris101

    Life and Style and US weekly should get together so that they don’t both come off as total liars because they have opposing stories.

  • TraumaRN

    While I do not usually comment, I feel compelled to do so because of what I read posted by another reader. She pointed out certain incidents with paparazzi and 17-20 year old actors and how far some will go for entertainment. What clearly stuck in my mind is that if ANY of these incidents of “stalking, intrusion,picture taking” were done to an UNKNOWN person, THE OFFENDERS WOULD BE PROSECUTED! Have we as a society sunk so low that we value intrusion into ANYBODY’S life because they are “stars”, by ANY MEANS NECESSARY and just to sell some magazines or papers?
    While I too am interested in the goings on of my favorite personalities, it is ONLY to the extent that I will NOT support a photographer’s/magazine/newspaper or WHOMEVERS right to violate another’s privacy! PERIOD!
    If it were YOUR daughter, wife, mother, sister, brother, son or family member that was being hounded, cursed at, photographed, violated and STALKED (yes people, it IS STALKING if you follow someone around without a VALID reason, their consent or PERMISSION, PERIOD!) I promise that they would be handcuffed and given a day in court!

    ANYONE, photographed without their permission, called vile names, constantly badgered, written falsely about in newspapers and magazines, and/or consistently/constantly followed people IS A VICTIM of harrassment. Juat because they are “in the public eye” does not make it right! Allowing someone to carry a camera or tape recorder and get away with all the above for PROFIT is INEXCUSABLE! It is not freedom of the press people, it is a violation of privacy!

    What is this? A rag designed to protect Kristen and Robert? Every post I read about them from this Gossip Cop, not only appears to be lashing out at other rags for criticizing Robert and/or Kristen, but GC seems to be defending them, and not reporting the news…….How strange. Is this Gossip Cop being paid by Robert, Kristen, and/or Summit? What is going here? And what’s with Gossip Cop making fun of other rags for quoting “insiders”. Gossip Cop acts as if though it is getting its information from Robert and Kristen, yet Gossip Cop is quoting “sources and insiders” too. So why should I believe Gossip Cop??……..Then there are people writing on her ” Oh thank you Gossip Cop for debunking this story”…..Well who is going to debunk Gossip Cop’s “Stories”, because they are merely telling “stories” they got from “sources and insiders GC claims are close to Kris and Rob”. Yeah right.
