admin 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.
