I’m one of those people who doesn’t completely believe anything without proper proof, so I’ve never put a second thought into this rumor (especially since it originally came from the Daily Star.) However, you guys have posted about it twice now, but have offered nothing really but your opinion that the story is rubbish. (At least, I don’t see anything else. If I have misread, I apologize.) Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have someone who knows the business agree with me, but how is Gossip Cop simply telling me something is false without any proof any different from some other outlet telling me something is true without any proof? Regardless, I do appreciate the purpose of this site, and I wish you guys the best.

I agree with you Kambria.

Lately I’ve noticed this about Gossipcop as well. Their refutations don’t necessarily refute the tabloid assertion with facts, they simply think they have the cache, to tack up a piece and give their opinion on it’s “ridiculousness,” and that in and of itself will satisfy the public and other media that a story has been debunked.

Look, I like you guys – I think you are legit. But that’s not only lazy, it’s the fastest and quickest way to ruin your own credibility. Why, you ask? No other media outlet is just going to give you credit for debunking something just based on your opinion, as Kambria says.

I happen to think the Pattinson/x factor story is bogus of course, it’s probably very easy to refute. But you haven’t really done it.

But again, the real story is why Gossipcop is having to repeat its ‘busts’ of these items. Either you need a PR rep yourself to help you get the word out to mainstream media, you’re not covering the stories and celebs that bring major hits, or you may want to look at the actual stories you’re taking on.

If there’s no interest – and nothing to really refute, then let them lay there…afterall, how does what some girl on a talent show, equate to Rob wanting to date her – that wasn’t even asserted in the tabloid piece itself. It was all this woman Lucy, saying ‘watch out Kristen.’ She may have been joking, or not – but either way, it has sh*t to do with Rob.
