Robert Pattinson “Secret Son” a Sham

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

What bothers us more than instances when tabloids “should know better” are times when they clearly do know better — and willfully ignore their better judgment.

Famous magazine’s treatment of what it calls “a real-life Twilight urban legend” could serve as a model example of sensationalism toppling sense.

Rumors (supposedly) returned last week claiming that “Robert Pattinson has a secret girlfriend” named Elaina Arora, with whom “he has a child!”

That’s a pretty wild claim.

To “investigate” it, as Famous volunteers to do, there better be some new information, access to credible sources, or something to separate the “investigators” from the unaccountable rumor mongers who stir up this drivel in the first place.

But that’s not really what Famous is interested in doing.

Instead, the tabloid pretends that these “shocking allegations” have lit the Internet on fire… and does everything it can to fan the flames without giving any answers.

Citing an anonymous Perez Hilton tipster who’d seen Pattinson with a “mystery brunette” in London last year, Famous highlights several other descriptions of Elaina Arora — always from “fans,” and without a shred of actual documentation.

Crazy pregnancy rumors followed, with a fan claiming to see “an ultrasound” inside Arora’s purse. The “couple” supposedly engaged in “lovers’ tiffs” on Twitter — via anonymous, since-closed accounts, of course.

What’s maddening is that Famous acknowledges how weak all of this is. The mag recognizes the “massive doubts” about the validity of Arora rumors since she and Pattinson have never been photographed together. Famous also questions the authenticity of the Twitter accounts and notes inconsistencies in the alleged arrival date for the “secret” baby.

“‘Until solid proof comes to light, this rumour remains nothing more than hearsay,’ one blogger sagely notes,” concludes Famous. “We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.”

Wrong.

The magazine could — and should — have ignored the rumors it deems so dubious.

Instead, it devotes a giant headline and two pages to the idea that Pattinson might have a “secret son,” dredging up absurd low-grade speculation to help fuel a firestorm of its own creation.

Pattinson is not involved with a woman named Elaina Arora, and he does not have a baby.

Period.

    This kind of accusation bothers me when they do any celeb like this. There are people out there who believe this crazy stuff.

    I wish Rob could fu*ken SUE the crap out of these RAG blogs.. desperate fakers…. and a DISGUSTING P Hilton. The guy does nothing but try to stay out of the limelight and all he does i get dragged back. Anyone who believes this crap need medication, but there will be a few, there always is.

  • MissZee

    isn’t this SLANDER??

    This pathetic story has been around forever! I’m not even allowed to comment on the Ally is Wired site because everytime she has something about Rob and Kristen, I ask her whatever happened to the girl that according to her, Rob purposed to (Elaina). Now when I comment, she deletes it. I guess she doesn’t like people pointing out how unwired she is!

    This sounds like slander to me. But, if Rob were to sue, they would get all sorts of publicity. I don’t think any of us wants that. Rob sure doesn’t need the headache, attorney fees, etc. On the other hand, I would probably sue just to prove my point. These rags are NOT news. They lie constantly. And as long as some of Rob’s fans continue to buy these rags (I do not even look at these things), these rags will continue to print outrageous lies and Rob will continue to suffer for it. His true and loyal fans should stay away from these rags. If we all want Rob to have some peace. I know that I do. How about the rest of you?

    Oh he absolutely has a son. His name is Damon Salvatore! This story has been around a long time. I don’t get how Tabloids can continue to constantly post this kind of slander. robsessed is right as long as people keep buying the garbage, they will continue to publish it. I don’t buy them but I see them flying off the shelves in stores.

    Robert should sue his own fans for starting and believing these rumors. Dishrags like Famous just pick up on it. From what I’ve seen Twilighters are willing to believe RP is dating and hooking up with anyone besides Kristen Stewart-despite the fact that she is the only woman he has spent off time with. This mystery baby mama just plays into what a lot of the Rob Pattinson fans already think. So Yes the mystery baby and mystery woman are true. She must be a ghost because I’ve never seen her. She must also be a doormat to let the father of her child gallivant all over the world with his costar- Kristen Stewart. Some girl on E said he was actually dating Emile de Ravin from Lost. They did a movie together. I guess I can choose to believe that rumor. Kristen Stewart is just his friend and so so.

  • robsessed1986

    I love the Twilight books and movies but I am not a twilighter. I am Robsessed. I do not start rumors. I do not spread rumors. I believe what a preponderance of evidence proves to, more than likely, be true. That is why I am not a believer in “Robsten”. That is why I am not a believer in Rob having this secret son. That mystery woman must be a doormat if she exists but she doesn’t. I don’t believe in the Emile de Ravin rumor. Although, because Rob & KS have great on screen chemistry, and hang around together, they must be a couple. So, he does have great on screen chemistry with Emile as well but the so-called “Robstens” say that just because they have great on screen chemistry doesn’t mean they are together in real life. WOW, sounds like hypocrisy to me. There just is not enough proof to say yes Rob and KS are together. There are however, statements from both Rob and KS that say they are NOT together. Rob has made mention of being single and wanting to date but no one likes him he says they like Edward they even call him Edward (when speaking of his thousands of adoring fans). KS has replied to interview questions about a boyfriend by saying “I didn’t know I had a boyfriend.” That was as recent as one of the many Eclipse interviews. If they were together, why not just say so? Then there would be nothing to try and prove with pics or anything else (as far as paparazzi are concerned). Of coarse, that is their business and they don’t have to say anything. But they don’t just stay silent, they both speak of being single in one way or another. Why not just say nothing? That is just my opinion and I am entitled to it just as those who believe are entitled to their opinions.
    Here is the jist of it…..as long as fans of both want pics to prove their theories, there will be paparazzi out there stalking both Rob and KS. They will have NO peace. They will have NO privacy. And they will not want any relationships with anyone because of all the “media” attention to their individual lives. Could you imagine trying to have a date with someone and being followed everywhere by intrusive paparazzi? It would be the worst date on this Earth.
    I love the Twilight movies but I cannot wait for them all to be filmed, premiered and then done, for Rob’s and KS’s sakes.
    Seems Rob has managed to drop off the face of the Earth. I am happy for him. Happy he has some measure of anonymity for a little while. Happy he is encountering his many adoring fans who respect his privacy. And the pics I’ve seen show Rob doesn’t seem to mind these kinds of fans at all. He seems to like those kinds of fans a lot. That shows the great character of the people of Arizona (sited but no pics), New Mexico (sited but no pics) and Texas (sited with lots of pics of a smiling Rob that doesn’t seem to mind the pics). Way to go Southwest U.S.A.!!!!!
    By the way, I am a proud New Mexican (yes, that is in the U.S. Statehood in 1912)!!!

    @Robsessed You wrote a novel and all it shows is your stupidity. Brad and Angie hadn;’t officially come out but we all knew they were together. They would stand far apart at interviews and even then it was obvious. Ryan Reynolds and Scarlette J. never officially came out and the next thing you they are married. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem also had a similar relationship. Celebrities don’t owe you anything. They don’t have to talk about their relationship publically. Ther are signs that let us know they are together. Living together, visiting each other’s sets, and flying all over the world in off times, and meeting each other’s parents have proven to me that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple. Maybe one day you too will put the signs together and stop writing long discussions about why you don’t believe it. You make yourself look dumb.

  • robsessed1986

    @truthbtold So you are entitled to your opinion and I am not? I am stupid because I give reasons for my beliefs? The reasons for your beliefs are based on what other actors do, not on actual proof but you are entitled to your opinion, right? Why is it when someone on this site tries to view their opinions, and they are not what a majority thinks, the response they get is not an educated response but a name calling session? How does that prove that you are more intelligent than I am? Answer: IT DOESN’T. It’s kind of funny that when I say something that has nothing to do with “Robsten” you agree with me. You can be decent with me. But, when I voice my opinion about Rob & KS, you get defensive. Almost as if I am saying something about you personally. Like calling you stupid.
    I am intelligent enough to try to reason with anybody. I don’t need to resort to childish behavior such as name calling. Everyone has a right to say what they think, even if you don’t share that opinion.
    MY POINT IN MY LAST COMMENT WAS: as long as people have this “craving” for all things “Robsten,” Rob and KS will be stalked by the paparazzi. They will have NO peace. They will have NO privacy. Everyone needs to stop believing rumors as if they were gospel truth. STOP reading the scum rag tabloids. Fans like these should not complain about Rob or any other celeb being stalked by the paps because they are part of the problem.
