Gossip Cop on the Latest Rob Rumors

GossipCop Fortunately, a lot of the attention paid to Robert Pattinson recently has been where it belongs — on his work.

And then… there’s this nonsense:

1. Robert Pattinson “refuses to commit” to Kristen Stewart.

Hmm. Sounds familiar.

Of course, Now magazine, where the newest rumor originated, has a track record when it comes to Pattinson. So sloppy is the tab’s “reporting,” last year it lifted quotations directly from an interview with the actor that never happened in the first place.
So when the mag quotes an “insider” as saying Pattinson “gets stressed out” whenever Stewart talks about commitment, remember that the Now staff “gets stressed out” whenever asked to do actual, useful work.

2. Robert Pattinson has a “secret girlfriend” named Kelly Blakewell.

We’ve been directed frequently today to a barely readable site whose baseless claims have (apparently) infected message boards with the notion that Pattinson is covertly dating this 24-year-old singer-songwriter and ex-model.

Or is she 26? The site can’t seem to decide. Nor can it decide whether the couple’s been dating for “several months” or a “year.” Or whether the two want to “keep their relationship under wraps” or go “public.”

At least the site links to a conveniently dead Twitter account for Blakewell and promises “more and more pictures” of her with Pattinson “as soon as we get them!”

Gossip Cop is holding our breath… but only because this site’s garbage “exclusive” reeks.

This is definitely a *headdesk* moment. Allow me. Thanks again GossipCop!
