Thousands of articles have theorized about the relationship between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but rarely has one been as asinine as PopEater‘s latest effort.

“Perpetually in bad moods,” Pattinson and Stewart give “grumpy” sound bites and “glower at the cameras,” sneers the site… next to a photo of the pair smiling.

But PopEater isn’t satisfied to prove its point merely with the observational and photo editing skills of a wet sock.

How about some condescension?

Compared to Pattinson and Stewart, “Julius and Ethel Rosenberg look like Snooki and The Situation making out in a hot-tub,” chortles PopEater, scoffing, “If you’re too young to know who Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are, then R-Pattz and K-Stew are probably your romantic role models.”

Ah, yes, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. A couple executed in 1953 for atomic espionage. And, apparently, the gold standard for being “grumpy.”

If we didn’t know better, we’d say PopEater invokes the Rosenbergs (and Snooki!) while patronizing its readers because it has no actual case to make.

Oh, but it tries.

The main thrust of the article exploring their “deliciously suspicious romance” is that Pattinson and Stewart have faked it “to sell movie tickets.”

Here’s a summary of PopEater’s “argument”:

*** Stewart denied a relationship with Pattinson in a Nylon magazine interview while filming New Moon, saying that she and he were “good friends.”

OK. She gave that comment a year and a half ago. Why is this relevant?

*** Stewart and Pattinson were photographed “by a small-town blogger” on vacation on the Isle of Wight.

Yes. Um. What’s the point? They went on vacation because… they aren’t really dating?

*** Stewart and Pattinson “may or may not” have revealed (off camera) their relationship to Oprah Winfrey.

They didn’t. And if they had, so what?

*** Stewart attended the premiere of Pattinson’s Remember Me.

Yes, she did. Girlfriends regularly attend premieres. Platonic friends regularly attend premieres. Past and future co-stars regularly attend premieres. What does her presence have to do with a conspiracy to sell out theaters for, say, Eclipse? Especially when PopEater makes a point of saying she and Pattinson didn’t have much contact that night?

(Which itself is inaccurate. Gossip Cop was there the whole night. Pattinson and Stewart spent the entire after-party in a VIP area with a select group of friends and family.)

And… that’s pretty much all the article offers in the way of “specifics.”

PopEater then writes, “Perhaps the media wouldn’t be so suspicious of the real relationship between Rob and Kristen if there wasn’t such a massive financial incentive for them to lead us along.”

They don’t own Twilight. Their salaries have already been negotiated. That’s the beginning and end of their “financial incentive.”

“If Rob and Kristen really are just following the studio’s orders to generate heat for their films,” blusters PopEater, “At least it would explain why they’re so sour all the time.”

Wait.

So Summit’s grand plan is to force Pattinson and Stewart into faking a relationship that makes them “sour” with the press? Of course. Because everyone knows “sour” people with a “miserable attitude” are a huge draw at the box office. It’s why Andy Rooney’s been the decade’s biggest motion picture star.

There’s also this: It’s an awfully big commitment to pretend you’re dating for a few years (and five films) to the exclusion of dating other people.

But the biggest problem is that PopEater’s main argument doesn’t even makes sense.

If Stewart and Pattinson are forced into a publicity stunt relationship, wouldn’t it stand to reason that Summit would want it to gain… publicity?

The two stars shun the paparazzi. They avoid being photographed holding hands, kissing, etc. If, for instance, Summit planted Stewart at Pattinson’s Remember Me premiere to make it seem like they’re in a relationship… why would Pattinson walk the red carpet with co-star Emilie de Ravin? If they “forced” them to vacation together, why would it be on an island with zero paparazzi?

If they conspired with their studio to perpetuate a “fake relationship,” wouldn’t they be photographed just once holding hands and kissing on the red carpet or “accidentally” spotted around L.A. having romantic dinners together?

If this were a “fake relationship,” we’d see more photos of them together, not less.

The only thing “fake” here is PopEater’s premise.

(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.

When Gossip Cop busted Fox411‘s nonsense about possible romance between Water for Elephants co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, we assumed it’d still be picked up and repeated by a few careless sites.

We also thought there wasn’t much an outlet could do that would be worse than the original, unsubstantiated speculation.

We forgot about HollywoodLife.

The dented trash receptacle posing as a legitimate gossip site got wind of Fox411′s claim and managed to crank out one of its most inane posts to date.

Not satisfied to regurgitate the Rob-Reese non-story, HollywoodLife uses it to taunt Kristen Stewart, writing with all the bile of a catty junior high schooler lacking rudimentary logic skills.

“OMG! Robert Pattinson is TOTALLY Flirting with Reese Witherspoon!” shrieks the site. “K-Stew, Did You Hear This?”

Let’s pause here to note that HollywoodLife’s habit of addressing celebrities in the second person has gotten no less annoying.

“Has our favorite brooding vampire found a new soul mate?” the site speculates before dragging out yesterday’s drivel about “magic” chemistry between Pattinson and Witherspoon.

“Whoa! We bet Kristen Stewart is NOT happy about this news!”

Actually, we bet Stewart is fine with their behavior, because, unlike HollywoodLife, she understands that the pretty, costumed people in front of the cameras are characters.

They’re not real.

It’s all make believe.

“The last time this happened,” continues HollywoodLife, “Rumors swirled about R-Patz’s offscreen romance with co-star Emilie De Ravin during the filming of Remember Me.”

Yes. Rumors that were completely false.

It was just another example of Pattinson daring to appear in a role that required interaction with a member of the opposite sex and not dating her in real life.

According to HollywoodLife, Stewart “has to be so jealous of Reese!”

It sure sounds like the site wants Stewart to be jealous, but there’s still no basis for it.

Here’s how blinded the site is by its need to bend facts to fit its absurd flights of fancy. HollywoodLife acknowledges that Witherspoon is dating Jim Toth, and that he’s “already going to her kids’ soccer games.”

The rational response would be: Wow, things must be going really well between Witherspoon and Toth!

The HollywoodLife response is: “He can’t be too pleased with this news [about Pattinson], either!”

There is no news.

There is no romance between Witherspoon and Pattinson.

There is just HollywoodLife, shouting at the wind.

The dubious Robert Pattinson interview is a time-honored tradition.

There are those memorable instances when a months-old comment is construed as “new” or an obvious joke as a “revelation.”

Sometimes a magazine will make it sound as though personal subjects never discussed actually were.

Often an interview didn’t happen.

Sometimes Gossip Cop even manages to force publications to remove offending, fabricated quotes.

Now comes an “interview” in Look magazine that seems (mostly) believable… except for the very first question and answer.

“You’ve finally admitted you and Kristen [Stewart] are together,” Look begins. “What’s the secret to winning your heart?”

Replies Pattinson, supposedly, “Money! And an unbelievable amount of patience.”

A couple of things.

First, Pattinson never “admitted” to dating Stewart. We hate to say it over and over, but outlets keep building on top of faulty premises built from reports that were never accurate. Again, this is NOT to say Pattinson and Stewart are or are not a couple.

But this ridiculous habit of treating their personal decisions as matters of public discourse — even after they’ve repeatedly shied away from discussing them — has got to stop.

Which brings us to our second point. While most of Pattinson’s responses in the Look piece seem to be consistent with what he’s said in other places while promoting Remember Me, answering a non-professional Kristen Stewart question with talk about how “money” is a key to his heart just seems… well, completely uncharacteristic.

Pattinson may have given a general answer about what he’s looking for in a woman with the “patience” portion, but it is NOT about Stewart.

And to use “Kristen Needs Patience to Date Me!” as a direct quotation and as the headline is a complete misrepresentation.

Pattinson said no such thing.

It seems like the magazine used a manipulated, highly dubious quote to frame an otherwise run-of-the-mill chat.

Gossip Cop reached out to multiple people at Look. We will update with any response we receive.

(Famous magazine)

Gossip Cop felt an unpleasant tingle in our knee this morning.

It either means there’s rain coming, or Famous magazine put a certain Twilight twosome on its cover.

“For weeks Kristen Stewart has known there’s something wrong in her relationship with Robert Pattinson,” writes the tab.

Stewart “doesn’t know exactly what it is” but “says she can feel Rob drifting away.”

Here we go.

And what’s the major problem for the pair?

They’ve been “separated by intense work commitments,” Famous explains.

The tab even digs up an “insider” who reports, “They’ve barely seen each other these last few months” with Stewart promoting The Runaways in the United States and Pattinson filming Bel Ami in London.

Wow! This “insider” must have incredible access… to mainstream media and maps! How else would anyone have the inside “scoop” that two heavily-booked actors have professional commitments requiring frequent travel?

While filming Twilight in Vancouver, Pattinson and Stewart got “used to seeing each other all day, every day,” whispers the mag, whereas “now they are on different continents — and it’s really testing their relationship.”

And what (besides the inconveniently placed Atlantic Ocean) is supposedly imperiling the couple?

“Friends believe that the actor is upset over the performance of his new film Remember Me,” asserts Famous. A “close source” adds, “He’s so upset, especially as [The Runaways] is doing great and everyone is talking about what a massive career [Stewart] has ahead of her.”

OK, let’s stop right here.

Robert Pattinson — who’s in London because he’s filming a highly anticipated movie, and around whom casting rumors swirl every week — is so consumed by jealousy of The Runaways (two weeks before its wide release) that his ego is now terribly “bruised” and his relationship with Kristen Stewart on the brink?

Gossip Cop suspects it’s actually another “bruised” ego at work here.

It might be the “bruised” ego of Famous magazine, which has been very wrong, very often on the subject. Like its claim that Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were embroiled in feud (wrong), or that Lautner and Stewart were “caught” in an “affair” (wrong). Or the mag’s insistence that Stewart alienated everyone on the set of Eclipse (wrong), but would be touring Australia with Pattinson (wrong).

More recently, of course, Famous whined when the pair didn’t live their personal lives according to the mag’s approved timetable.

Gossip Cop will toss this newest example of the magazine’s Robsten “journalism” into the same garbage bin.

For as well as they claim to know Robert Pattinson‘s life, many outlets still can’t seem to recognize the actor’s trademark facetiousness when they see it.

According to The Sun, Pattinson “is terrified his screaming fans are making him deaf.”

Really?

The Twilight superstar supposedly “revealed” recently that he “already suffers serious hearing difficulties — being made worse by the shrieks of his obsessed female followers.”

“I’m almost completely deaf anyway,” the paper quotes Pattinson as saying.

What the Sun fails to mention, of course, is that Pattinson said he was going deaf in jest from all the screaming that accompanies his every move.

Frenzied crowds greet the actor wherever he goes, and he was playing up the reception he receives at outings such as the noisy Remember Me premiere.

A reporter who recently spent time interviewing Pattinson one-on-one laughingly told Gossip Cop he’s a “teaser” and certainly didn’t have problems hearing the several times they met.

We’ve seen Pattinson in person twice recently, and he didn’t seem to have any difficulty. And other people we’ve contacted said they’ve never (pardon the pun) heard anything troublesome about Pattinson’s ears.

So fans made anxious by the Sun‘s alarmist tone need only remember to treat certain reports in the paper like they would one of Pattinson’s off-the-cuff remarks — as a joke.

Perez Hilton posted a piece today that stated Robert Pattinson “stopped by Norman’s Rare Guitars in Tarzana, CA, on Wednesday and autographed a Fender Telecaster guitar for charity.”

On Wednesday?

As in yesterday?

Huh?

Pattinson was NOWHERE NEAR California, let alone North America, yesterday. He was, however, quite visible on the red carpet in London for the premiere of his film, Remember Me.

But just in case Perez has figured out some way to manipulate time and space, Gossip Cop called Norman’s Rare Guitars, where an employee laughed about the blogger’s timeline.

According to the employee, Pattinson wasn’t in the shop yesterday, the Wednesday before, or any Wednesday for months. The “Twilight” star came in last December, and signed a guitar that’s being auctioned this week for the homeless charity Midnight Mission.

Meanwhile, Gossip Cop has learned Pattinson is a loyal customer of Norman’s, and has bought two guitars there in the past.

(Summit)

We already reported on the weekend box office today, but there’s a glaring mistake that other media accounts made that needs to be addressed.

Alice in Wonderland, of course, dominated the weekend again, making it the clear #1. It’s been a remarkable two weeks for the Johnny Depp 3D extravaganza.

Green Zone, She’s Out of My League, and Remember Me are bundled rather tightly in second, third, and fourth place.

BUT… there’s a discrepancy worth noting.

Exhibitor Relations Co., the company where many mainstream outlets get their weekend figures, says Remember Me debuted on 3,587 screens.

Not so.

As Box Office Mojo reports, Remember Me hit 2,212 screens this weekend.

Gossip Cop confirmed with a studio source that Mojo is right.

So while the dollar estimates – Green Zone ($14.5M), She’s Out of My League ($9.6M), Remember Me ($8.3M) – will probably be (mostly) on target when the actual numbers come out, the often cited per-screen average measure of performance changes quite a bit.

This is noteworthy because Remember Me is actually doing better per theater than She’s Out of My League.

Exhibitor Relations Co. says…

Green Zone $4,840 per screen

She’s… League $3,248 per screen

Remember Me $2,309 per screen  (incorrect)

Box Office Mojo:

Green Zone $4,840 per screen

Remember Me $3,752 per screen (correct)

She’s… League $3,248 per screen

As weekend box office roundups begin to circulate, keep the correct theater count in mind.

(Disney)

“Alice” is still queen of the box office.

The Tim Burton and Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland is the #1 movie for the second straight weekend, rolling up $62 million in ticket sales. It’s become the first $200 million release of 2010.

Green Zone with Matt Damon finishes #2 with $14.5 million, and the mismatch romantic comedy She’s Out of My League rounds out the top three with $9.6 million.

The Robert Pattinson drama Remember Me is expected to take in about $8.3 million for fourth place.

DEVELOPING…

(Summit)

The first weekend box office estimates are trickling in, and it appears the Alice in Wonderland bonanza will continue.

Projections place last week’s champ atop the chart again with roughly $60 million in its second week of release, which would push it past the $200 million mark overall.

Remember Me ($9.5 million) is estimated to finish a close fourth behind fellow debuts Green Zone ($15 million) and She’s Out of My League ($10 million).

It will likely battle with the latter for third place until late Sunday.

Friday’s numbers:

$17.4 M –  Alice

$5 M – Green Zone

$3.6 M – Remember Me

$3.3 M – She’s Out of My League

Again, these are VERY EARLY estimates. Gossip Cop will have more details and more accurate projections as the weekend continues.

After the trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse debuted yesterday, we got a lot of questions about whether a second, longer version was already planned for release.

Gossip Cop spoke with a rep for Summit Entertainment who told us there will (of course) be a new trailer at some point, but right now there’s “no talk… nothing in the works.”

So it looks like Twilight fans will have to make do for now with the trailer being shown before Remember Me this weekend… and, of course, YouTube, where nearly 5 million people have already watched yesterday’s release.

Gossip Cop will report on future Eclipse clips as soon as we hear.

Stay tuned…

Remember yesterday, when Life & Style published a whacked out article claiming Kristen Stewart attended the Remember Me premiere to intimidate Emilie de Ravin?

Showbiz Spy sure remembers! Because today the site (sloppily) rewrites the conspiracy theory, adding a new twist: Stewart and Robert Pattinson are “arguing endlessly” over her “possessive nature.”

Reportedly anxious about how close Pattinson and de Ravin have become, Stewart “tries to accompany the British star on as many of his promotional trips as possible.”

Gossip Cop will note again: Kristen Stewart has two settings, according to most outlets. When she’s not at events, other sites say, it’s because she’s a misanthropic homebody. When she does go to events, blogs claim it’s because she’s a jealous obsessive.

(Sigh.)

Anyway, Showbiz Spy has a “loose-lipped insider” who claims “Kristen hates the thought of Rob and Kristen spending time alone together.”

(The site has “loose-lipped” insiders… but obviously no copy editors.)

Stewart’s constant presence is “driving Rob nuts,” the “insider” reports. “He likes doing his own thing and having time to himself, but Kristen has gotten really needy over the past few weeks.”

Gossip Cop will humbly suggest that Showbiz Spy (which offered a photo bounty on the two) is the “needy” party here.

Our source with Stewart tells us (again) that the (endless) speculation about her supposed jealousy is (still) complete bunk.

As Gossip Cop said yesterday, Stewart was at the premiere to support Pattinson.

They had a nice time at the movie and at the party afterwards.

That’s it.

Sometimes the simplest explanations are the right ones. And that’s the case here.

There used to be controversy when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart weren’t in the same place at the same time. Now they can’t sit next to each other without outlets concocting ulterior motives.

Life & Style describes the scene of Pattinson and Stewart sitting next to each other at the Remember Me premiere in New York and being very affectionate.

In an article titled “Hands off my man!” the tabloid reports everything was tender until Stewart “suddenly pulled away” when on screen Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin acted intimate.

“Though watching Rob in any sex scene would be uncomfortable” for Stewart according to the mag, “Kristen had particular reason to be upset about this one.”

And what reason is that?

According to Life & Style, Pattinson and de Ravin “had a fling last June” while filming Remember Me, a liaison that “clearly wounded Kristen.”

So Stewart’s presence at the movie’s premiere was no mere show of support, theorizes the tab. “By turning up… the ordinarily publicity-shy Kristen could keep an eye on Rob while sending Emilie a message: He’s mine — back off!”

Life & Style goes on to claim the on-screen “intense chemistry” between Pattinson and de Ravin was “all anyone could talk about at the premiere.”

Gossip Cop happened to be there… and the only “intensity” on everyone’s mind was that of the film itself, especially its ending.

Here’s the takeaway from last week’s premiere: Stewart supported Pattinson, the two looked happy, end of story.

The movie was “intense” enough. No need to create fake off-screen drama.

Robert Pattinson will appear on CBS’ “The Early Show” on Tuesday, March 9 in a segment he taped after the show’s regular broadcast three days ago.

A production source tells Gossip Cop Pattinson arrived at the studio at 9:30 AM Tuesday morning, a half-hour after the show finished. At 9:50 AM he sat down with co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez for about fifteen minutes to chat and promote his new film with Emilie de Ravin, Remember Me.

We hear he also joked with Rodriguez about the tabloid whirlwind he now faces, including one crazy claim in a tab that he was pregnant.

(Gossip Cop looked into it. Robert Pattinson is NOT pregnant. We repeat: Robert Pattinson is NOT pregnant.)

Another production source on the scene reports Pattinson was “charming” and “nice to everyone,” from the staff to the interviewer herself, who we’re told “loves him.”

Recently, the gang at Life & Style concocted a theory that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart planned to reveal a romance to coincide with filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

Of course, there was nothing to the claims. Summit Entertainment has no say over the actors’ private lives, and their castmates have not been under any kind of gag order.

Not that it matters. This week, Life & Style forgets its own reporting.

Instead, the mag latches onto Stewart’s attendance at the New York premiere of Pattinson’s Remember Me to make a grand declaration: “At last — Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart go public with their romance!”

What led to this conclusion?

Stewart “smiled a lot” and “even posed for photos and signed autographs” according to Life & Style‘s “eyewitness” outside NYC’s Paris Theatre. “That’s totally out of character for her.”

Usually when outlets insult Stewart’s public appearances, they misreport why she’s out and about in the first place. So give Life & Style credit for knowing it was the premiere.

That’s where the accuracy ends.

The mag goes on to cite last month’s Sun item distorting comments Pattinson made on BAFTAs night. The Sun (wrongly) claimed Pattinson “admitted” he and Stewart were a couple, and Life & Style makes the same mistake, saying Pattinson “has confessed” about romance with his co-star.

Gossip Cop will say it again, since this Life & Style piece is getting a lot of traction: There’s no reason to believe Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are not dating, but there has been no monumental, public, “at last!” admission or confession or announcement.

And we’ll point out that after the premiere that supposedly marked their debut as a couple, Gossip Cop was at the same party Pattinson and Stewart were, and while the two hung out in the same VIP area, they played it cool and there was absolutely no discussion of a relationship.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will discuss their private lives when they want. Our guess is that Life & Style won’t get the scoop.

Gossip Cop was fortunate enough to attend the premiere of “Remember Me,” and was truly impressed with Robert Pattinson.

Without giving away the plot points, “Remember Me” is a very emotional film, and Pattinson leads the charge with an incredibly powerful performance.

But Gossip Cop wasn’t the only who felt Pattinson was gripping onscreen. Quite randomly, as we were hanging out talking to a friend from L.A., one of the film’s actors approached a blonde woman standing next to us and began to sing Pattinson’s praises.

That co-star was Kate Burton, who plays the executive assistant to Pattinson’s high-powered father (Pierce Brosnan). And the blonde  woman who Burton approached was the star’s real-life mom, Clare Pattinson.

So what did the actress say to Pattinson’s mom?

Burton told Clare Pattinson that she was legendary screen actor Richard Burton‘s daughter – whoa! – and that Pattinson is a special actor, and she should be “very proud.”

Among the others in attendance at the post-premiere party were co-stars Brosnan, Emilie de Ravin, Chris Cooper, and yes, Kristen Stewart, who hung out in the same VIP area as Pattinson.

For anyone who hasn’t seen the photo of Robert Pattinson shooting a “Rob Is Bothered” segment with Jimmy Fallon, here it is.

And for everyone else, some additional info: Gossip Cop confirms the the bit will air on tonight‘s broadcast, which also, of course, features Pattinson as a guest.

“Robert and Jimmy had a great time,” a production spy tells Gossip Cop. “The hardest part for both was keeping a straight face. Rob kept cracking up.”

What’s more, Fallon’s crew didn’t even need to take Pattinson to Central Park. The segment was shot where Fallon always shoots “Rob Is Bothered” — on a 12th floor terrace at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

It was shot at about 4:30 PM EST.

It’ll be interesting to see Robert and “Robert” bothered together.

He addressed two of the bigger questions:

1. Whether it should be in 3-D.

2. Whether it should be one movie or two.

Pierce Brosnan, who stars with Robert Pattinson in the upcoming Remember Me, has only praise for his young co-star.

He tells Parade.com, ”Remember Me with Robert Pattinson is a really beautifully written piece about a family coping with the death of one of their boys. I play Robert’s father, and for me it’s about the loss of a son, while from his perspective it’s about the loss of a brother.”

“It’s nothing like Twilight but it packs an emotional punch. I think you’ll see Mr. Pattinson giving a fantastic performance, which will prove he’s really working hard on his acting.”

Brosnan also touches on the pandemonium surrounding Pattinson. He says, ”We filmed in New York and there always seemed to be a hundreds of screaming teenage girls around and I knew they weren’t screaming for me. I know it’s tough for Robert to cope with that kind of attention.”

“I’ve been there and I sympathize with him, but I think he’s handling it quite well. I think that, so far, he’s got it under control.”

As Gossip Cop broke earlier in the week, Pattinson will promote Remember Me on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on March 1, and then again on “The View” with his co-star Emilie de Ravin.

Following his appearance, Pattinson will then head to the premiere of Remember Me, his film with Emilie de Ravin.

Fallon, of course, has had some fun at Pattinson’s expense in the past, showing videos of a “bothered” “Pattinson” (played by Fallon), airing grievances from a tree. (VIDEO BELOW)

Yesterday Gossip Cop reported that Pattinson and de Ravin will be appearing together on “The View” on March 2.

This June “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” arrives in theaters, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are scheduled for a very big 2010 even beyond their blockbuster vampire series. Two of Young Hollywood’s brightest stars have numerous movies slated to be released — or produced — in the coming months, and Gossip Cop was curious to know what non-”Twilight” film Pattinson and Stewart fans were most excited to see.

For Pattinson, is it “Remember Me,” “Unbound Captives,” or “Bel Ami”?

For Stewart, is it “Welcome to the Rileys,” “The Yellow Handkerchief,” or “The Runaways”?

Or have other upcoming projects caught your eye? Let us know in comments!

(And, again… Happy New Year!)

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are “looking for a place to live,” claims In Touch, in a story – “Rob and Kristen Moving in Together” – that’s as light on tact as it is on facts.

Of the “Twilight” twosome, the mag reports that “lately, they’ve been quietly searching for a home in LA neighborhoods like Beachwood Canyon and the Hollywood Hills.” Would that be “lately” as in their recent weeks spent jet setting around the globe for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” one of the biggest promotional pushes in film history? Because that seems… unlikely.

Let’s break this down further, shall we?

Pattinson is going to start shooting “Bel Ami” in February. Filming will last a few months. Then, in the spring he and Stewart will be promoting “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” around the world ahead of its June release. And in the interim, he and Stewart have other commitments with other projects. And while Pattinson has said he’s looking for a home in L.A., with all the other projects and promotions going on, claims of a low-key LA “co-habitation” sound off the mark.

But even that isn’t where the item really goes wrong.

In Touch says of the rumored couple, “Right now the best thing to do seems [to be] to find a home with a lot of privacy and security.”

We hope whatever house Stewart calls “home” in the future – with or without Pattinson - does have “lots of privacy and security,” because in a staggeringly shameful move, the magazine illustrates the piece with a photo of what they say is Stewart’s current residence.

Not cool, In Touch. Really not cool.

A quick (non-”Twilight,” non-Robsten) Robert Pattinson confirmation to answer a question we received many times today.

For those who haven’t heard, or those who had heard but weren’t sure it was accurate: Yes, Pattinson is an executive producer of his upcoming film, “Remember Me,” a source with the production confirms to Gossip Cop.

We look forward to tabloids confusedly putting out cover stories naming Pattinson the director, boom operator, and caterer on a sequel to “Remember The Titans.”

With “New Moon” coming to theaters in less than two weeks, a lot of outlets are paying closer attention to what lies ahead for its stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

First, Gossip Cop spoke with insiders at Summit Entertainment and can confirm that Pattinson’s next film, “Remember Me,” has been pushed back to a March 12 release. Originally the pic had been set to bow in February.

Next is a new batch of rumors, courtesy of Famous magazine, claiming Stewart will not be back as Bella Swan for the potential “Breaking Dawn” film in the “Twilight” series. How badly does Famous want fans to panic? The article’s headline blares, “Kristen: ‘I’m Quitting Twilight!’”

Wow… so what led to the mag’s scoop?

Um, nothing.

Mashing up old quotes, fact-deficient speculation, and good old-fashioned presumption, Famous prints absolutely nothing new or substantive to back up its claim. The mag includes Stewart’s recent comments about not wanting “to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie” and her decision not to attend the Vancouver wrap party for “Eclipse” as indications she’s only recently somewhat uncomfortable with the spotlight (wow, what a shocker!).

According to the tab, Stewart has told “pals” she wants to leave the franchise (uh huh)… and yet the piece also makes sure to quote sources close to the actress as saying, “She’s considered leaving before but has always changed her mind and stayed… [she's] very torn… the last thing she wants to do is appear ungrateful.”

Famous then covers itself even further, asserting, “However unlikely it is that she’ll quit, given her contractual obligations, producers are doing everything in their power to keep Kristen with the franchise.” And the anticlimax closes with a “mutual friend” confiding that Pattinson himself will help keep Stewart on board, as “she has considered quitting but Rob’s been instrumental in helping her stay committed – they both know what a truly wonderful opportunity they’ve been given.”

[Staring at article]

Are we missing something?

The mag’s cover screams, “Kristen: ‘I’m Quitting Twilight.’” The piece’s headline screams, “Kristen: ‘I’m Quitting Twilight.’”

But she never said anything of the sort. And Famous knows it, which is why it spends the second half of its article admitting Stewart’s not actually going to leave.

Good news for fans, bad “news” for so-called “news sources.” Which is why Gossip Cop busts ‘em.

Rumors spread online today that Summit Entertainment has elected to change the ending to Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film, “Remember Me.” Gossip Cop does not want to spoil any plot points. But since the alleged alteration was lighting up message boards, we looked into it and asked a source inside Summit for comment.

We were assured by a rep that claims of a major change are “absolutely not true.”

If rumors persist, we will do our best to further clear up any confusion.

(GQ Australia)

Amid all the “New Moon” and “Eclipse” hoopla, it’s easy to forget that “Twilight” superstar Robert Pattinson will also appear in the upcoming, vampire-less drama “Remember Me.”

(OK – Pattinson’s millions of devoted fans probably won’t forget.)

In any case, a new interview with the actor in Australian GQ magazine has caused a lot of confusion. In it, Pattinson seems to reveal that he co-wrote “Remember Me.”

Here’s the full quote:

“Remember Me seems like a relatively logical next stop for my career. But, still, the only reason I took it is because I have a real personal connection with it. I wrote the script with Jenny Lumet, from an original draft by Will Fetters. Many of the relationships in it are like my relationships with people in my life. And so it’s kind of a little personal thing.”

Taken out of context, that comment could certainly be interpreted to mean Pattinson served as a co-writer on “Remember Me.” But the background is slightly more complex.

At Cannes over the summer, Pattinson spoke about “Remember Me” and said:

“It’s one of the few scripts I’ve read where you finish and realize you didn’t really want it to end … I have no qualms in saying that Jenny is a genius … I went up to her house one weekend and we all hung out there and just chatted about the script and [they] asked me what I wanted from it. She worked on the draft and about a week later she delivered this script. She’d captured little bits of my voice and all the inflections and mannerisms I have.”

So Pattinson didn’t write “Remember Me,” per se, but he did help Jenny Lumet and director Allen Coulter develop how his character is reflected in the script.

Just to be sure, we contacted a source close to Lumet, who told Gossip Cop, “Jenny loves Pattinson, and he had as much input as most stars of his level do,” but noted that the actor is not a member of the Writers Guild of America.

We hope that puts the rumors to rest. Regardless of Pattinson’s “official” involvement in the script, it seems as though “Remember Me” will showcase a character the actor had a hand in crafting.
