Just because Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart spend time together, it doesn’t mean the weeklies can now conjure up all sorts of stories about them, like OK! saying they’re engaged (not!) or that Pattinson “whisked [Stewart] off on a romantic, ultra-under-the-radar weekend stay on an idyllic island off Canada’s coast on Aug 29,” which the Star is claiming.
According to this week’s print edition of the tabloid, Robsten “holed up” at the Fairview Farm Bed and Breakfast on Mayne Island. A “source” said, “They didn’t really look up or say hello to people or anything. It was a little awkward because it’s a really small hotel. They wore baseball caps and sunglasses the whole time. A few fans realized that it was Rob and Kristen, but most people just thought they were weirdos!”
Well, how many fans really could have recognized them, considering it’s a two-bedroom hotel – and they presumably would have occupied one of those rooms?
Here’s what Gossip Cop knows: By several accounts, Stewart was in Vancouver that weekend (and not with Michael Angarano, a rumor we busted back then). We also know that no one has any photos of Stewart and Pattinson on Mayne Island. Additionally, when Gossip Cop called the b&b, no one confirmed that they stayed there.
As far as Gossip Cop can tell, it’s a good story, but that’s all – just a story.

How do these magazines get away with making up stuff? Thanks Gossip Cop for pointing out their mistakes. WIsh you could stop them from even writing them.
Wow! Those magazines really have some nerve.
With two more movies to go, I’m sure the rumors will keep flying, but it’s nice to hear the straight story.
Gossipcop,
I’m a big ‘Robsten,’ fan, and belong to a community, which has written in the past, asking you to clear up tabloid rumor about them (one story concerned an alleged interview w/ Pattinson that the Daily Mirror was trying to pass off as recent – we gave you evidence that it was not, and you contacted Pattinson’s rep who denied the story and essentially called the Mirror liars) .
Consequently, because we as fans keep up with your postings on Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, a couple we love and support – we’ve noticed that at least twice now, you’ve denied the ‘engagement’ story.
Why is that? When you haven’t had either Pattinson’s or Stewart’s reps weigh in (neither camp has every addressed this particular rumor), nor has one of your sources (who unless you could verify was in a position to know something so personal, wouldn’t necessarily know either). The point is, you’ve never asked the question, and gotten a response – and believe me, we read all of your stuff.
So, aren’t you essentially doing the very thing, you try to guard against? Presuming something based on little to no factual evidence? Not saying there’s evidence to support it, but so far, they haven’t ever addressed the engagement rumor, so there’s no evidence to say it’s false either.
Just what are you basing your opinion on? Being the KIND of site you are – one that tries to adhere to a journalistic standard which rests on fact-based evidence – may I ask why you are presuming this based on no evidence, to begin with?
Just so you know – many of us who are fans of these two people, and who count on you to clear up the negative drivel in the tabloids or other media outlets, believe that they are engaged. A few think they are hitched.
Wow, GC. You’ve busted a rumour I hadn’t even heard yet! Quick work.
Cleo, I have to disagree with your use of the word ‘many’. There is a growing number of fans (by that I mean Rob fans, Kristen fans and Twilight fans) who believe they are a couple. People are gradually starting to accept it. Within that number is a small group who’ve taken it a step further and think they are engaged, but within the fan community overall I think they only make up a small percentage. Please don’t tar us all with the same brush.
Cleo, you’ve brought up a good question.
At times the reps will make comments, at other times they won’t. There are certain things different people in their world will address — some issues they will confront, others they will not bother with, and occasionally there are things they will clear up but will not want or have to be quoted on.
I can tell you that Gossip Cop has a very deep reach into the production of the film. Our sources are solid. If you’ve noticed, a lot of our “Twilight” items are later in the day. It’s actually quite simple why: we tend to spend hours upon hours checking with the dozens of people we work with — some on East Coast time, others on West Coast time, and several more on that vague “on set” time. Not until we’ve reached out to everyone, and explored every possible angle, do we then post our pieces.
There will be days when we don’t post “Twilight” pieces. We sincerely hope that, even though that’s an interest of yours, you will still check out and support Gossip Cop. Because without Gossip Cop around, the rest of what’s out there ranges from partial fact to pure fantasy.
Thank you, Cleo, Inkspot, Silverware, GossipGirl and Sam for taking the time to post your comments. We truly appreciate it.
Best,
Michael Lewittes
Top Cop
the next rumor they should bust is if Kristen Stewart is a lesbian, if she is she will be pleasing all of her haters. How about you get on that GossipCop.
WOW! I can not believe that it takes a few printed words to make an assumption of peoples lives. I have been following Gossip Cop for over a month now and I believe what I read from it, because they search for the truth and won’t print until it is found. I can not and will not believe the tabloids, and it amazes me how anyone else can. Maybe those who believe what those mags print need to face reality. Maybe those who believe anything but the truth should consider the facts if it were about them. Oh, I bet if it were written about you and it were false, you would be all over the mags telling them you are going to sue for slander. How do you think the actors feel when you believe all the false words. Why can’t we just wait for the truth. Read what you want, but take it with a grain of salt until you possitively know it is the truth.
Dear Michael,
Thanks for your response. No one, even a well-meaning valued site such as yours, is infallible. Sometimes your posters may actually know things you don’t. So my suggestion, as before, is to not assume personal intimate information, unless that is relayed by the parties, or, the reps of the parties themselves. Otherwise, you leave yourself open to getting schooled.
Case in point, back in the early days of his relationship with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt used to have a rep, (Notice I say USED to have) who would comment on the status of Angelina Jolie’s womb (and all the breathless, endless anticipatory rumors about her being pregnant). Notice I said this was Pitt’s rep, NOT even someone from Jolie’s camp (she does not have a PR rep)! It wasn’t unusual to pick up a paper, rag, weekly and read, “No, she is NOT pregnant,” says ______, a Pitt rep.
Lo, and behold we of course found out that Angelina had been pregnant throughout Fall of 2005, when a few of the spokesperson’s comments nixing a pregnancy, had been made.
I say all that to say – this is personal intimate stuff that sometimes not even a rep, let alone a key grip, or a director, or a co-star is going to know necessarily, no matter what their best guesses are – or what they think they may know.
But keep up the good work – and it is that. We’ll be here, waiting for GC to come with facts and accuracy to demolish the lies.
Cleo,
I see your point, but I do think you are pushing the logic too far. If we need proof to say that Rob and Kristen are not married because it’s not “proven”, then I also want proof that Rob is not a transvestite (that’s not proven either), and that Kristen is not really the demonic spawn of Satan (yep, not proven).
What I mean is, at some point, you have to use your common sense. We CAN assert that Rob is a man and Kristen is human, because there 99.9% chance that it’s true, even though it’s not “proven”.
Same goes for the marriage thing. It’s fine that a tiny portion of fans have managed to convince themselves that Rob and Kristen are engaged/married, but this opinion is in such minority that it should not reasonably be taken into account in regular articles.
Otherwise, I’ll convince myself that Rob really is a transvestite and I’ll require of GossipCop that they refer to him as (s)he from now on. Because really, he could be, for all we know.
Dear TKB, look, I get it. I know where you’re coming from. You want Rob single. No need to go psycho on us all with the crazy nonsensical rants. You have missed the point entirely, as is usually the case with you somewhat ‘off’ ladies who can’t stand to see Rob with anyone.
The very FACT that you are comparing Rob Pattinson being a transvestite and Gossip cop having to disprove that, juxtapositioned with Rob Pattinson being engaged to his girlfriend (who by the way, he has admitted to proposing to in several DIFFERENT interviews, in several different ways) – let’s us ALL know, the level of psychosis going on with you. Get a life, or therapy, quickly. Disproving Rob is a transvestite, or an alien from mars, and disproving he wants to marry Kristen (which you can google, or youtube right now, and get a million hits supporting) are kinda diff.
Gossipcop should be aware that there’s a small minority of ‘mean girl’ fans who would rather gouge their own eyeballs out rather than even for a millisecond entertain the idea that Rob & Kris could be engaged. It’s for this reason, we are ALL grateful that security is tight onset and elsewhere. GC would be well advised to steer clear of catering to the few maniacal jealous ‘mean girl’ haters (see TKB) above, they are NOT representative of the fandom — as evidenced by Robsten’s millions of youtube vids, message boards, blogs and the overall fandom in general…but more importantly, as evidenced by OUR support of the Gossipcop website. You know it’s true. Just look at your hits and views GC. WE appreciate you, that’s why we’re here.
Cleo-
I am with u, girl! What’s with little girls who would rather see rob single/lonely than with kris/happy? And why r they putting her down to make themselves feel better? Kris is young, gorgeous, and down to earth. A lot of girls think that there is too much of an age difference between rob and kris, and since she is a teenager, she couldn’t possibly be mature enough for a relationship with rob. BS! These girls just need to get over themselves and realize that rob isn’t going to pick them.
TBK-
I get what u mean too. Just bc it can’t be proven doesn’t mean its not true. I would bet my life on the fact that kid and rob together. Does it mean that they r engaged/married? No, but they could be. Technically, they’ve never declared their together. But should they have too? Doesn’t that seem arrogant? They seem like private ppl. And I think it would be just like them to get married in secret!
Cleo,
Please chill out! No need to hate because I disagree with your logic
Fyi, I’m a grown woman who actually thinks, and really hopes, that R&K are together.
I was just making the point (re: the engagement/marriage specifically) that since your opinion is very, very much in the minority, you are in no position to try and make media outlets like GC take it as a serious possibility. Because an overwhelming majority of fans think that the e/m possibility is completely outlandish, and the rest of the world is not even aware that it exists.
TKB and a few of her ilk (jealous women), are actually in the minority. The rest of us, support this couple and think they have a beautiful and serious relationship. Only a jealous moron would think it ‘outlandish,’ that a guy who’s on record as having proposed several times already before he was even with his true love, would propose once they are actually together. Yeah, cuz it’s just soooo out there – NOT. Notice TKB has adopted the impossible task into 1) making you believe she’s a fan who wants R&K together (she’s not, and she doesn’t) and 2) making you believe that the majority of fans don’t believe they’re engaged. Check out youtube, blogs, and msg boards for the real numbers of fans who are ‘pro’ this couple, and believe they are engaged/or married. The only minority are these sad factions of holdouts who don’t want to see it happen. Boy will you be surprised when the announcement is made. Hahaha.
Well Cleo, at least I can disagree with someone without insulting them. Unlike you, I don’t need to call my opponent a lier or a psycopath to make my point.
Strange how you seem to be overflowing with hate, for someone supposedly preaching love, lol !
@Cleo: I think a critical factor might be as well, that you just can’t prove if the engagement thing is true, every day. I follow Twilight-stuff for almost a year now on a daily basis and I’m pretty sure there was not one single day without an article saying, that Rob and Kristen are a couple. And you are right, no one officialy ever said it is not true, BUT I’ts not been a long time, since Kristen last said something like, she can understand why people would think the two of them are an item but it simply is not the case. So I think it doesn’t make sense for Gossip Cop to re-check every day, like: “Oh, yesterday she denied any romance, but maybe if I would call her today, she would tell me they are engaged”
So all in all, you have a lot of people who simply WANT them to be together, you have photos and stuff that CAN be interpreted like they are but that CAN be interpreted as well like they aren’t AND you have the people themselves saying it’s not true. So out of this, what is the most validate information and the information to rely on?
Additionally, I agree, Rob said in a lot of interviews that he asked her to marry him. But I’m pretty sure it was a joke.
Why?
First of all because at this time she was officially with Michael and he definitely wouldn’t have told everyone about this question if it was meant serious.
2. You don’t usually ask someone to marry you, until you already have a relationship – or at least you don’t ask someone to marry you, if this someone is still with another person.
3. He asked a lot of women to marry him and he told this as well in a lot of interviews, as you can easily check via google or youtube
4. He said as well, it is just something he does and not meant seriously.
5. From his interviews you can easily deduce, that he is not yet ready for something like a marriage. He recently said, from his point of view, it is really unhealthy to be unconditionally in love with a person (well, I don’t agree at all, but that’s what HE said) and that he wants to be allowed to fall in love with a lot of women in his life.
However, the point is, I can’t stand all this nonsense that is written about the whole Twilight topic in all these articles and magazines and I’m glad a page like this is existing. But I think there are things that can’t be checked again day after day after day. That DOES NOT mean I think they never need to check this again. Of course they do need to. But from my point of view not in such short periods of time.
ps: I’m sorry for any mistakes, I’m not a native speaker
pps: This post is not meant to offend ANYONE. It’s just based on my personal opinion and my personal logic. So if you now feel offended, just stop it
At all those who seem to care so friggin much, I would suggest you get your own private life and stop worrying so obsessively over that of someone you will probably never in your life time meet, and if you do he will never remember nor care about you..its called unhealthy..and not just alittle creepy
that was mostly for people like “cleo”
