CLAIM: Robert Pattinson “Almost Punches Photographer”

Via GossipCop

Robert Pattinson “snapped” and “nearly” attacked a paparazzo, according to X17 Online, which supports its shaky allegations with no evidence whatsoever.

The site, which has tried this game before, writes that Pattinson left an agency meeting in Los Angeles on Monday “in a very bad mood – and he wasn’t afraid to show it!”

“Our photographer kept a respectful distance as he snapped, but all of a sudden Pattinson snapped, clenching his fists and nearly throwing a punch at the camera,” claims X17.

The supposedly heated confrontation only cooled off after Pattinson’s “friend calmed him down and talked some sense into him,” continues the outlet.

X17 protests, “Hey, Rob… no need to go ballistic on us just for being fans!”

Um, a couple of things.

First, “fans” do not stalk Pattinson on the streets with cameras.

Second, if there were any truth to this version of events, why didn’t X17 bother to post video?

Or, for that matter, any pictures of the actor looking the least bit combative?

All the site has are a few shots of Pattinson walking – and his eyes aren’t even on the photographer he’s allegedly about to “attack.”

It looks to Gossip Cop like Pattinson doesn’t pay much attention to X17 – and neither should people looking for any actual reporting.

Was Kristen Stewart Supposed to Attend Taylor Lautner’s “Abduction” Premiere?

BREAKING NEWS: Kristen Stewart Misses ‘Abduction’ Premiere To Shoot ‘Show White and the Huntsman’!” reads a breathlessly urgent headline from HollywoodLife, which earlier in the day posted a story (that was subsequently deleted), claiming Stewart would attend her friend Taylor Lautner’spremiere.

The site now goes on to report that Stewart is “hard at work and she’s having to give up supporting her besties! The actress is currently shooting Snow White and the Huntsman in Marloes Sands Beach in Pembrokeshire Wales, UK but because of that she had to miss Taylor Lautner’s Sept. 26 Abduction premiere in London!”

Despite HollywoodLife’s incessant writing about Stewart, the site knows very little about her.

The bad blog figured that because both stars are currently in the U.K. it would gamble and report that Stewart was attending the London opening of Abduction.

But Stewart had no plans to attend the premiere. Her Snow White and the Huntsman shoot didn’t suddenly spring up. Production on the film had been set for months, confirms a source who works with Stewart to Gossip Cop.

 

When It Comes to Rob and Kristen Reporting, More! Mag is Less

Yet another tabloid is doing its best to blur the lines between Breaking Dawn and reality — at the same time playing lame tricks with a Kristen Stewart “interview.”

More! magazine claims to “hear marriage could be on the cards” for Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who’s supposedly “hinted to his friends that this could be a turning point in his life” and that “he wants to make a commitment.”

The premise (or at least what passes for one) is that Pattinson “knows things will change” after the Twilight films wrap, so he’s allegedly hustling to lock down a real-life engagement with his on-screen bride.

While the story lacks the absurd nuances of the recent National Enquirer story that insisted Pattinson had designed a special ring and planned to propose right after Bella Swan and Edward Cullen marry in the movie, it does cling to the same ridiculous notion — that the couple’s relationship is totally dependent on their involvement in Breaking Dawn.

Enough already.

Stewart and Pattinson are very young and very private. It’s past time for the endless tabloid chatter about how production schedules dictate their personal lives to quiet down.

Particularly galling about the More! article, however, is the magazine’s description of how Stewart “sat down” to chat before filming in Louisiana began.

Readers could be forgiven for assuming the tab spoke with the actress exclusively and recently. Neither is true.

Instead, we get recycled quotes from other sources, cobbled together to make it seem like a timely, coherent Q&A.

Site Claims Kristen Stewart’s Iced Tea Break Means Her Celebrity Has Cooled

Talk about missing the point.

On Wednesday,E! Onlinepassed along a rather charming possible Kristen Stewart sighting at Peet’s Coffee in Los Angeles.

A casually dressed woman an eyewitness “swears” was Stewart waited in line and ordered an iced tea to go. When the E! source asked whether the counter guy knew who he’d just served, he supposedly said he didn’t.

“The girl from Twilight,” he was told, to which the employee reportedly replied, “I don’t go for that vampire crap.”

If the story is true, it’s an amusing little anecdote about one of the world’s most recognizable actresses finally getting a bit of the everyday privacy she so badly wants.

But Showbiz Spy, the same site that once put a photo bounty on her head, manages to turn this into a negative for Stewart.

“Kristen Stewart Fading Back Into Obscurity!” announces the headline. The item continues, “Kristen Stewart is losing her star power!”

Wait, let’s get this straight.

If Stewart orders an iced tea without being hounded, it means she’s fading into obscurity?

By this logic, the actress has to be pestered by every person with whom she interacts in her personal life; otherwise, she’s clearly not sufficiently famous anymore.

Sigh.

In light of that photo bounty, Showbiz Spy’s position is clear: Kristen Stewart is only worthwhile if she’s being harassed in public.

Kellan Lutz is a ‘Wild Child,’ Says Girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord

Kellan Lutz is “a wild child,” says his “90210” girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord.

Though the couple for a while dodged the question of whether or not they were dating, McCord told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show today that she’s “very with” the Twilightstar.

And while she wouldn’t elaborate, McCord did spill that Lutz is “crazy in a different way” than she is. She said, “He’s just a wild child.”

Despite Seacrest’s efforts to get her to say she wears the pants in their relationship, McCord only offered that they “share the control.”

The actress also noted that her man is currently relaxing in Israel. McCord half-joked, “Before the 75thTwilight comes out, he has five minutes of a break.”

ROBERT PATTINSON IS NOT PART OF THE “ENTOURAGE”

Robert Pattinson Is Going To Be OnEntourage!” exclaims a giddy Perez Hilton.

After providing a “SPOILER ALERT,” the blogger announces, “There is a BIG surprise in store for Twilight fans – Robert Pattinson is slated to guest star!”

According to Hilton and other outlets, “Robert Pattinson guest stars as Ari’s most difficult client ever” on the episode airing this Sunday, September 12.

“Can RPatz handle ‘comedy’?” Hilton wonders.

Well, we know Pattinson can do comedy, ever since we saw him “bothered” in a tree with Jimmy Fallon last spring.

But here’s Gossip Cop’s spoiler: Perez Hilton does comedy, too, albeit unintentionally.

Robert Pattinson has NOT filmed a cameo for “Entourage.”

A source close to the star tells Gossip Cop exclusively that it’s “not true.”

In addition, a production source tells us “he’s not” on the show, and had “no clue” as to how the rumor started.

BOGUS KRISTEN STEWART AND ROBERT PATTINSON “BREAKDOWN”

After a few days ofinvasiveRobert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart coverage, it’s nice to see outlets getting back to good old-fashionedwrong reporting.

According to a British magazine Showbiz Spycites, Pattinson’s recent visit to Montreal was meant to help Stewart get through a “breakdown.”

An anonymous “source” for the tabloid claims Stewart “can’t handle” her fame and “refused to go to this year’sTeen Choice Awards.”

“She’s filming On The Road in Montreal and could have gone,” continues the mag, “but didn’t want to have to face the media spotlight yet again.” Supposedly, Pattinson “knew that she was going through a hard time,” and flew immediately to Canada to “boost her spirits.”

Oh, but the magazine insists this “crisis” has been going for a long time. Its source alleges Stewart “has been at the breaking point ever since they finished filming Eclipse.”

Let’s all take some deep breaths and return to reality.

Kristen Stewart did not have a “breakdown.”

While it’s true that Stewart didn’t attend the Teen Choice Awards because of On The Roadobligations, it’s just as true that she’s routinely made appearances in the months sinceEclipse closed production. In fact, she presented a preview of that very film at the MTV Movie Awards.

Stewart has been in the public eye for years. Her discomfort with some aspects of celebrity is well documented, but that’s all it is: discomfort. There was no sudden panic while shooting On The Road. There was no cross-continent rescue mission for Pattinson.

But tabs feel the need to drum up drama instead of reporting what the Montreal trip actuallywas — a perfectly happy visit. It’s too bad that crisis sells.

ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART FLEE PAPARAZZI IN L.A

Most of what we cover is relatively harmless. Who’s dating whom, who’s been cast in what, what did a tabloid pull out of its you-know-where… keeping the celebrity news media honest is usually light business.

This is not one of those stories.

According to TMZRobert Pattinson andKristen Stewart were driving home from LAX airport in Los Angeles when they noticed paparazzi on their tail, “weaving through traffic.” Sources say the pair stopped into a police station to ask for help, and cops, fortunately, were able to shepherd them safely back on to the road.

Pattinson and Stewart finished their trip without further incident.

That’s the happy ending to a disturbing story.

But part of what makes it so frightening is that it now seems almost ordinary.

Pattinson himself has been pursued on the road before, he and Stewart have hadphoto bounties placed on them by reckless outlets, and paps have often turned their film shoots into spectacle.

They’ve handled the circus responsibly, as do most of the celebrities subjected to an escalating paparazzi culture driven toward greater and greater immediacy. But luck and alertness go only so far.

At some point, someone — Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Brad PittBritney Spears,someone — will not see the weaving paparazzi until the terrible moment when the star, the photographer, or the mom whose minivan happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time gets hurt.

Exactly how steep a price are these photos worth?
