“Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart want to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Depp!” declares Showbiz Spy.

Oh? How so?

Well, “sources” for the site say the pair plans to “take some time off” after Breaking Dawn is completed, and want to choose to work only when they want.

“After Twilight they are aiming for a Johnny Depp level of fame — to work when they want but to get peace and quiet when they don’t,” reports one “source.”

Hmm. That sounds like pretty much every actor’s goal.

But Showbiz Spy isn’t done speculating.

“Right now, neither has accepted a role after Twilight so they may even take a whole year off,” claims the site.

Wait, Pattinson and Stewart might both take all of 2011 off entirely?

That seemed like a stretch.

Probably because rumors of an extended period away from Hollywood for both of them are not true.

A source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop that while nothing is announced, the actor has “a lot” of roles that he is “considering” for after Breaking Dawn.

And as Gossip Cop reported last week, Stewart is hoping to work next on the drama An American Girl, even though no timetable is set.

Just because the calendar ahead is less hectic than Pattinson and Stewart’s hectic 2008-2010, it doesn’t mean there are any plans to take a hiatus from movies.

Kristen Stewart has a movie hitting theaters (Welcome to the Rileys) and a blockbuster set to start shooting (Breaking Dawn), but it’s a rumored film on the horizon that has outlets buzzing.

A number of sites have picked up on an interview James Woods gave to MTV, in which the actor-director praises Stewart’s talent and mentions her commitment to An American Girl, which he plans to direct.

“We’re just about ready to go now in the spring,” says Woods of the project, which follows a young woman who joins the Marines following sexual humiliation.

We knew An American Girl was in the works with the Twilight star involved, but this was the first time a production timetable had been suggested.

So is Stewart actually set to start the movie in early 2011?

Nope.

Sources tell Gossip Cop that Stewart’s camp is “hoping that’s the next film” she does, though there are still a lot of things that need to fall into place before a production of that size can begin.

As of now, though, we’re told there is no start date.

If and when the project moves forward, Gossip Cop will have an update.

It was another wild week in Hollywood! Let’s take a look:

THE GOOD

The two biggest stars in the “Twilight” constellation will be coming to screens near you in new roles. Gossip Cop confirmed that Robert Pattinson will STILL – contrary to Internet whispers – be involved in the upcoming “Bel Ami” (although not in another rumored role), and Kristen Stewart will be tapped by director James Woods for the lead in “An American Girl,” with her camp giving Gossip Cop exclusive confirmation and comments.

And while some mags had to settle for making nasty claims about Stewart, Interview actually got to speak with her, and we showed some behind-the-scenes video from her cover photo shoot.

We also confirmed that producers are planning to arrange a special United Kingdom fan event with cast members for “New Moon” before the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles. We hope to have new details as soon as possible.

THE BAD

This spot isn’t necessarily reserved for Perez Hilton, but “Scoop” managed this week to be wrong about casting, sexuality, philanthropy, and pregnancy. He hit for the cycle!

Hilton first demonstrated his talent for publishing anything that hits his inbox without checking the facts when he ran with a story about Lindsay Lohan signing on to “Celebrity Big Brother.” (Yeah, she’s not.)

Then he blasted Bob Dylan as a “sell-out” for pairing with a bank on his upcoming Christmas album, even scrawling “I [heart] $$$” on his picture. Um, Perez? Every single penny is going to charity. Oops.

What about Derek Hough? “Hold onto your skirt there, hun!” snipes Perez, who tauntingly asks, “Is it dark in that closet of yours, Derek?” According to the blogger, the Dancing with the Stars performer is a “gayface.” Not surprisingly, Perez provides . . . zero evidence. Once again, Perez can’t get his facts straight – like Hough. 

Finally, Journalism’s Joker made Mariah Carey pregnant. Battling medical science and his own track record in this area, Perez examined a photo of Carey performing and decided that she’s with child. And . . . she’s not. Gossip Cop can’t wait until Doc Hilton reports pregnancies for Betty White and Cloris Leachman next week!

THE UGLY

The week’s most stunning story was David Letterman‘s “sextortion” drama. While everyone scrambled to make heads or tails of the shocker, Gossip Cop remembered a weird personal moment from the Emmys four years ago - when we stumbled upon and interviewed both Letterman and Stephanie Birkitt, the woman now at the center of the scandal. They did seem to have a particular closeness.

There’s been a lot of Internet buzz that Kristen Stewart will join the buzz-cut ranks for a movie titled, “An American Girl,” in which she would play a Marine. So is this real or just another Stewart rumor?

Gossip Cop can now confirm, via her rep, that it is TRUE!

 “An American Girl,” to be directed by James Woods, is about a woman who after high school finds herself wasting her life drinking and drugging in a small town in Indiana. During one particular night of boozing, she has sex with a guy in a quarry. “She gets taped doing it on somebody’s phone and in a small town,” says Woods, “her reputation is ruined and on a drunken whim, she joins the Marines.”

Stewart’s character sobers up, learns a number of important life lessons as a Marine, and even returns to her hometown, where she rebuilds her life.

Woods, who didn’t want anyone else but Stewart for the lead role, adds, “It’s a phenomenal story and a slam-dunk Oscar for her.”

Not only is Woods excited about Stewart starring, but her rep told Gossip Cop exclusively, “It is a project that she loves.”
