We know better than to trust Fox411 when it comes to “Twilight” reporting (let’s just say they haven’t exactly had the strongest week), but this one really had us scratching our heads.
Buried halfway down the millionth recycled version of a speculative Internet “are they or aren’t they?” story about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart come comments from “an inside source,” who tells the blog an off-screen Robsten romance “caused major friction with fellow Twilighter Nikki Reed, who started dating Pattinson late last year.” The article goes on to…
Wait, wait. Back up. What was that?
That’s right… just before tossing aside “tabloid talk” detailing the over-the-top life Pattinson and Stewart supposedly shared in their hotel suites high above Vancouver (talk, by the way, that Gossip Cop already debunked weeks ago), Fox411 claims that a Robsten relationship cut short one between Pattinson and Reed (“Rokki”?), who “were together” after the first film finished shooting. The site’s “insider” says “sparks” between Pattinson and Stewart led them to end their respective couplings, “So Nikki was the one to get hurt.”
Oh, boy. This is so, so old, and so, so wrong. This summer, Jennie Garth supposedly “outed” a Rob relationship with either Reed or Stewart… except Gossip Cop actually obtained a transcript of her interview and she didn’t.
And Reed herself has never acknowledged a relationship.
Ah, but Fox411 devises a convenient cover – “Nikki was really in love with Rob,” says their source, “but we’re all scared to bring it up now. It’s something we just don’t talk about.”
OK, then! So again we have a relationship that can’t be confirmed because everyone who “knows” about it is too scared.
Can Fox411 come up with a third crazy Pattinson rumor before the week ends? Stay tuned!
