Hopefully the Chicago pix will be as enjoyable as these. Rob looks as though he's having such a great time. I'm not sure I could keep my hands to myself if he were as close to me as he was here. Kudos to that crowd for not touching.
He looked so cute and that was such an epic day for our fellow Robsessed ladies. I still enjoy looking at the vid they got of Rob...so close.We also know how good he smells. :-)
In the 3rd picture his face looks like he's going to kiss her! He's so lovely, he always tries to give a great photo to his fans. His modelling career has helped him a lot - he knows what the camera wants. So adorable.
I missed all the excitement of ROBstock One 'cause I didn't have internet access and I never have gone back to check out all the threads I missed in nearly a month (well, who the hell has time for that?). But I'm thinkin'...I oughta.
And it's the third shot that made me laugh. Him standing in front of that Duane Reade? I remember the story he told about going in one to buy underwear 'cause he'd run out or something (I swear to god, that man and his underwear. lol) and he was so proud that he found a package of...I don't know how many for like...I don't know, 8 bucks or something? He was so proud of himself and all I could think was...yee gawds Rob, even I wouldn't buy underwear in Duane Reade. I laughed my head off at that story.
I suppose it's possible when he first came over as he's admitted to liking older women. But it wouldn't have been a smart move...for either one. Agents and clients can have an intensely close relationship (both professionally and personally) and it would be foolish to let sex into the mix. She makes her living off of his earnings and in the beginning, he needed her to help secure those first auditions. Why would either screw that up for casual sex which could jepoardize their professional relationship?
Back in the day when agents discovered and groomed stars themselves, then yeah there was a lot of sexual favors being traded for representation. But Stephanie is not out on her own discovering new talent. She works for Endeavor, one of the most powerful agencies in the business and she was assigned to Rob when the agency signed him. She didn't sign him. The agency did. And if she had made advances toward him or made him feel pressured that this was something he had to do, he could have turned her in and she would have been fired. And I promise you, if she had, she would not be his agent today. And yeah, I suppose he could have been willing, but...intimacy with a stranger has never seemed like Rob's MO to me.
Although as I said, I suppose it is possible, but sounds like just another Rob rumour to me (and why has it taken this long to surface?) And there will be tons and tons of them throughout his career. My advice?
Stop reading the tabloids and pay no attention to what you read on gossip blogs or twitter. I promise you, anyone in the know is not spilling their guts that way. And if they are and they get caught? Big trouble. Big time. There is so much that goes on in Hollywood that the public doesn't have a clue about. And they tend to keep their REAL secrets to themselves.
But if this is true then I only got one thing to say... Stephanie Ritz...YOU. LUCKY. BiTCH.
I'm smiling coz your back. I bet a few missed your yesterday.
Wondering what would be your comment on yesterday's "insane amount of money made in H'wood"? If you've got time you can go back from yesterdays' thread. There are a lot of interesting comments. I'll leave it at that!
Yeah, Rob strikes me as someone intelligent who wouldn't have wanted to put his budding career at risk to have sex with his agent.
Carole, the tabloids make up stuff all the time about celebrities, and because Rob doesn't talk about his private life, the stories get more and more ridiculous. Don't believe any of it.
@tedgirl... these weren't articles by the press these were tweets from girls - lots and lots of comments on how Rob uses girls and drops then, what a jerk he is, how it's all going to come out into the public domain, etc - very unpleasant indeed. How come these girls hate Rob so much ....
I'll try to go back and catch up but I can't right now. My head is falling forward as it's 4:30 am and I've yet to go to bed.
CaroleUK...
I don't follow this twaddle crap and that's what it is...CRAP! And I don't read tabloids and I don't frequent celebrity gossip sites on the web and that's because they're all...CRAP! People 'in the know' are not on 'telling all' on these things. This is just the uninformed public going on and on about that which they know nothing about. And it seems to me that since Kristen was photographed with him in Budapest and so many had to finally accept the fact that they are more than just friends, that alot of the visciousness towards Rob got amped up. Please don't pay any attention to it.
And too, don't put him up on a pedestal. It's not fair. He's a human being with flaws just like anyone else and he's capable of making mistakes just like anyone else. And he's gonna make some. He's been in this white hot spotlight since the age of 22 (and it looks as though it's gonna stay focused on him for at least another couple of years until these Twilight films are done) and that means, he's still got some growing up to do and now he's got to do it with the whole world watching his every step and every utterance and sitting in judgement of him.
This is the problem. People don't see these stars as people themselves. They see an image that they have projected upon someone. People objectify these stars and don't see them as just human beings (and they are) and then when the star does something they don't like, that goes against the image that they have created in their heads, then they're disappointed or heart broken.
Just accept him for who is presents himself to be and not some image that you have of him. 'Cause it just might be the wrong image.
Not trying to tell you what to do. Just trying to lead you away from getting your heartbroken someday if in fact, he turns out to be human and screws up.
Yea, I'm quite aware that celebrities aren't always that they seem, and that Rob is just human like the rest of us. I don't for one minute imagine that he's quite as sweet as he presents himself to be to the media and his fans.
I just think it's rather sad that people can spend their time tweeting vicious things like that.... I wondered where all that nastiness had come from ...
I saw something about this briefly on Rob's IMDB board yesterday and immediately dismissed it as the crap it most surely is. All I can say is that some of these women have overactive imaginations/wishful thinking. I don't beilieve any of it. I can't believe they could actually get away with saying stuff like this...doesn't this border on being 'defamtion of character'. I sometimes wish that Rob or his Management would address these ridiculous claims although I suppose that could possibly be seen as giving some credence to the bloody idiots fantasies. It makes me livid it really does. Why are people so bloody malicious?
Whether that sort of stuff (with whom anyone is sleeping, etc) is true or not, it is at least coarse, with a stench to it, like excrement. I personally don't understand why anyone seeing any of that shyte would even bring it up, asking if we think it is true, or whatever. Discussing it feeds the source of it, and leaves the stench of the excrement it is. I just don't get it.
@solas, yes that's why I do not bother to go any other Rob sites or gossip sites on the internet. I've learned it's just alot of BS and full of posters trying to get attention. Sadly, those who do will start questioning the crap that is thrown out there as maybe being credible. Not their fault. You live and learn. Just because someone posts something they "heard" or "read" doesn't make it true, by a long shot. Unfortunately, we live in a gossip fueled society especially when it come to famous people/celebrities.
Thanks Lallie- i actually wanted to eliminate my previous comment because after I thought about it, I was afraid it might hurt someone's feelings, never my intent. I am glad that this site does not spread rumours and will publish Gossipcops findings even about rumours that might seem valid for fans to know and not personal (such as Rob making a certain movie). I would just rather, if possible, people not post personal rumours about Rob or anyone really, even if they think they are ludicrous, or even if they think they are 'juicy'. Once they are posted and seen, it gives these rumours a life they do not deserve. Sorry if this offends anyone, and if my views are not in keeping with being a fan of Rob, or even obsessed wth him, or the reason yu come to this site, please forgive me.
@Solas, unfortunately because of Rob's fame, these "rumors" are going to surface, again and again, I fear. Not that he's incapable of doing something reckless or thoughtless, he is afterall young and not perfect, but to have stuff made up to feed the frenzy, really makes me...I don't know the actual word. Sad, furious, angry, indignant, protective. Any of those would fit. BTW, thanks for info about your location. Your connection to Ireland is intriguing given your cultural religious background.
lallie--I often feel as if i am beating a dead horse and/or aggravating others, but I feel spreading and passing along the negative personal stuff--even IF true-- is shameful. As for Ireland- my ancestors were expelled from Spain, went to Portugal and were expelled from there a few years later, then went north to Ireland in what is now County Cork. The joke in our family is that they were headed for Poland like many others of our people, but the men in our family never ask for directions. ;-) I personally am glad they ended up in Ireland. Although the family had been in Cork for ages, I myself ended up living in County Wicklow and that is one of a few places I would think about settling when, G-d willing, I return.
I hope you see this because I own you an apology. I just went back and read what I wrote in response to your comments about the Rob gossip and how you hoped it wasn't true and if it was, that it would shatter the image you have of him and it would break your heart. And I got up on my soapbox and I came across as condescending and that has never been my intent here. Ever. I worry about that because I was raised in this town and I do know people in the industry and I do know things that the public doesn't and I try to share what I can and I fear that I come off sometimes as 'I know something you all don't know' and that's the last thing I want to do. And I said I wasn't trying to tell you what to do and that's just exactly what I did. I am so sorry.
I'm not above being a fangirl. Hell, for the first time in my life, I am a fangirl. I'm here writing about an actor ALOT, aren't I? It's just that when you said you'd be heartbroken if any of these things about Rob might be true, it triggered something for me. Something that happened to my best friend...
She fell in love with Brad Pitt at the dawn of his career with Thelma and Louise and then completely lost her mind a few years later with Legends Of The Fall. She worshipped him. And wouldn't you know it, her favorite actress just happened to be...Jennifer Anniston. And when the two of them fell in love and got married, she was over the moon. A bit jealous, yes, but because it was Jennifer whom she adored, she was actually very happy for them. Then...her bubble got ripped to shreds when he left Jennifer and took up with (in my friend's words) "the whore of Hollywood", Angelina Jolie. Karen was shattered. SHATTERED! She was so emotionally invested in him and in them as a couple that she didn't know what to do with these feelings. She herself felt betrayed by him. And that was because she had this image of him and he failed her. And to this day, nobody brings up Brad Pitt in Karen's presence.
At the time, I couldn't understand these -what I called- over the top feelings she had for him. I have had crushes on different actors over the years, but I never got emotionally involved. I loved their work and yeah, I paid some attention to their lives (who they were dating or if they got married or had a baby, the ususal), but nothing like what Karen did with Brad and then Brad and Jennifer. Then I stumbled upon (damn near literally), Robert Pattinson and then I finally knew what it was that Karen felt. No star has ever affected me the way that Rob has. EVER! Yes, he is beyond beautiful. And yes, I think he has a talent that will make him a very great star. But it's more than that and I've examined it and anyalized it and I still can't quite put my finger on it. Why do I love him in the way that I do? What is it? I don't know. There's just something about him. Something that has touched me. Maybe it goes back to that day I met him before all of THIS swallowed up his life. I just saw a young, wet behind the ears kid whose life, I knew, was about to be ripped out from under him and he just took hold of my heartstrings that day and he has yet to let go. So yeah...I now understand what Karen felt.
And I think I understand what you feel too. And I apologize for discounting your feelings. When I said that we shouldn't put him up on a pedestal or objectify him or cast him in an image that might not be the truth, well...yeah, we shouldn't do that. It isn't fair to him and we set ourselves up for possible disappointment one day. My error was in saying it in such a way that I said that this is what you were doing and that you were ignorant of the consequences of it. And of course neither is true. I talked down to you like you were an idiot and I'm so very sorry for that. Please forgive me.
I guess it is setting ourselves up for disappointment if Rob ever behaves in a way we don't approve. For me it would be if Rob stole someone else's wife or left his (future) wife for another woman. My opinion of him would change after that. I can't help it. Not that I expect perfection, but I look at him as honest and sincere and having integrity and all that. And I know people say well he stole Kristen away from Michael Angarano but a teenage romance is not a marriage.
IF we were only fans of Robert for his acting and his looks, then no matter what he did would make no difference. But many of us are fans, have our heartstrings pulled, because of his personality, his values, his sweetness, his thinking thoughful answers and insights, his vulnerability and selfdeprecating modesty, etc. It is possible, if that were all betrayed, if he became not via rumours but stark right in everyone's faces a real b-stard, then maybe we WOULDN'T be fans anymore.
It's true you guys. We do fall in love with more than a pretty face and some talent. Hell, there's lots of pretty and talented out there. But why do some take hold of our hearts and others do not? Because of who we perceive them to be and the emotions that come from that. I guess.
As for Kristen being stolen away... I don't think so. Kristen Stewart is a very strong woman who makes her own decisions. SHE decided to end one relationship and embark on another. And she took her time in making that decision. About 18 months worth of time. Which I think bodes quite well for this relationship.
They didn't just hop in the sack as most young people -especially in Hollywood- would have done within 48 hrs. of the first meet and the first turn on. They took their time. He waited. They built their friendship. And have you ever heard the old saying...
True love is friendship set on fire.
Don't know if that's the case here, but it sure seems that they've got more going for them than the average Hollywood romance.
Hi, thanks for your message. I must confess that following your comments I felt a bit put down, but then I realised you were only telling me the truth after all, so don't worry!
Obviously I realise that just because Rob looks beautiful on the outside, he may not be quite so nice on the inside, and that the fans should not make assumptions about him.... After all, hasn't he said in various interviews "don't like me, I'm a dick!" !!
But personally I feel that Rob is a decent young guy who's had fame thrust upon him unexpectedly, and I truly admire the way he has dealt with this madness. And I don't blame him in wanting to keep his personal relationships private.
I felt upset by the girls on the tweet site (my first and last visit to this site) who were saying some truly vindictive things about him, and I was shocked by how nasty and personal it all was - I just hadn't realised that there was such a lot of hate out there, as opposed to all the love. I guess a lot of these girls are eaten up that Rob is unobtainable to them.
I wish Rob all the luck and happiness in the world. He's very lucky to have such supportive fans as the ones on Robsessed..
I visit this site a lot but this is my first comment.
Carole, just wanted to let you know "happyfeet" has been spreading these "rumors" since last summer. I first heard of her on the Rob's IMDb boards, she posted under Jessophie. She's a famous troll on the Kristen's IMDb board. She changes her name a lot. She's also known as peter56 and currently her username is Peanum. I only recently found out she also had a twitter. She spends all her time "warning" Kristen to stay away from Rob and always giving her "advice" to dress better, dye her hair blonde, play the field, be more sociable, be more friendly etc. A few days ago she now claimed she believed Kristen has to be a lesbian. *rolls eyes* She has admitted she is a troll in the past on IMBd. She's very weird, just giving you some background on what some of us know about "happyfeet" :)
What a saddo! As if Kristen needs advice on how to live her life! Seems to me she has a pretty good life at the moment- talent, fame, fortune, and the most gorgeous sexy boyfriend in the whole world.
I won't look at that site again. I prefer the positive stuff on Robsessed.

The second picture cracks me up!
*SIGH* I heart him.
Hopefully the Chicago pix will be as enjoyable as these. Rob looks as though he's having such a great time. I'm not sure I could keep my hands to myself if he were as close to me as he was here. Kudos to that crowd for not touching.
RobstockI!!!!!! I think of the ones that got to smell The Pretty!! What an epic day!
Chicago maybe???
FILTM!
I'm with you SB, the second pic is hysterical. Love those quirky faces. They are so Rob.
Ah, Stephanie looks so proud of our boy, in that first pic...
he looks really happy here!
According to "happyfeet", Rob has slept with his agent Stephanie...hmmm...if he was sleeping on my couch...I wouldn't be able to resist either!! hehe!
Ya, Ya, I know that "happyfeet" is a big joke...but wouldn't that be something if it were true??
He looked so cute and that was such an epic day for our fellow Robsessed ladies. I still enjoy looking at the vid they got of Rob...so close.We also know how good he smells. :-)
Always so cute.
LOL I love the many face of Rob!
CL and Angie were so lucky that day.
Robstock II.... 54 days to go!!!!
SO EXCITED!!!
FILTM
In the 3rd picture his face looks like he's going to kiss her! He's so lovely, he always tries to give a great photo to his fans. His modelling career has helped him a lot - he knows what the camera wants. So adorable.

Well, I just had a look at Happyfeet following comments on here, and I am absolutely shocked at the amount of hate these girls are directing at Rob...
How on earth can they possibly know about Rob's private life? Where do they get this information from?
I'm really, really praying all this isn't true as it would totally shatter my image of him... in fact I would be heartbroken.
@Nic,
I'm smiling coz your back. I bet a few missed your yesterday.

*Sigh*
@Woms @Desserts--This (March 1) was one of the best days ever!
I hope June 24th (Robstock II) will be another one of the best days ever.
Need to go watch our video again....
@dessert yeah they were so lucky and count days girl and dont forget about me=))
Yea, I'm quite aware that celebrities aren't always that they seem, and that Rob is just human like the rest of us. I don't for one minute imagine that he's quite as sweet as he presents himself to be to the media and his fans.

It's just that when you said you'd be heartbroken if any of these things about Rob might be true, it triggered something for me. Something that happened to my best friend...
She fell in love with Brad Pitt at the dawn of his career with Thelma and Louise and then completely lost her mind a few years later with Legends Of The Fall. She worshipped him.

Maybe it goes back to that day I met him before all of THIS swallowed up his life. I just saw a young, wet behind the ears kid whose life, I knew, was about to be ripped out from under him and he just took hold of my heartstrings that day and he has yet to let go. So yeah...I now understand what Karen felt.
And I think I understand what you feel too. And I apologize for discounting your feelings. When I said that we shouldn't put him up on a pedestal or objectify him or cast him in an image that might not be the truth, well...yeah, we shouldn't do that. It isn't fair to him and we set ourselves up for possible disappointment one day. My error was in saying it in such a way that I said that this is what you were doing and that you were ignorant of the consequences of it. And of course neither is true. I talked down to you like you were an idiot and I'm so very sorry for that. Please forgive me.
I guess it is setting ourselves up for disappointment if Rob ever behaves in a way we don't approve. For me it would be if Rob stole someone else's wife or left his (future) wife for another woman. My opinion of him would change after that. I can't help it. Not that I expect perfection, but I look at him as honest and sincere and having integrity and all that. And I know people say well he stole Kristen away from Michael Angarano but a teenage romance is not a marriage.
IF we were only fans of Robert for his acting and his looks, then no matter what he did would make no difference. But many of us are fans, have our heartstrings pulled, because of his personality, his values, his sweetness, his thinking thoughful answers and insights, his vulnerability and selfdeprecating modesty, etc. It is possible, if that were all betrayed, if he became not via rumours but stark right in everyone's faces a real b-stard, then maybe we WOULDN'T be fans anymore.
It's true you guys. We do fall in love with more than a pretty face and some talent. Hell, there's lots of pretty and talented out there. But why do some take hold of our hearts and others do not? Because of who we perceive them to be and the emotions that come from that. I guess.
As for Kristen being stolen away...
I don't think so. Kristen Stewart is a very strong woman who makes her own decisions. SHE decided to end one relationship and embark on another. And she took her time in making that decision. About 18 months worth of time. Which I think bodes quite well for this relationship.
They didn't just hop in the sack as most young people -especially in Hollywood- would have done within 48 hrs. of the first meet and the first turn on. They took their time. He waited. They built their friendship. And have you ever heard the old saying...
True love is friendship set on fire.
Don't know if that's the case here, but it sure seems that they've got more going for them than the average Hollywood romance.
We shall see.
@Nikola6:
Hi, thanks for your message. I must confess that following your comments I felt a bit put down, but then I realised you were only telling me the truth after all, so don't worry!
Obviously I realise that just because Rob looks beautiful on the outside, he may not be quite so nice on the inside, and that the fans should not make assumptions about him.... After all, hasn't he said in various interviews "don't like me, I'm a dick!" !!
But personally I feel that Rob is a decent young guy who's had fame thrust upon him unexpectedly, and I truly admire the way he has dealt with this madness. And I don't blame him in wanting to keep his personal relationships private.
I felt upset by the girls on the tweet site (my first and last visit to this site) who were saying some truly vindictive things about him, and I was shocked by how nasty and personal it all was - I just hadn't realised that there was such a lot of hate out there, as opposed to all the love. I guess a lot of these girls are eaten up that Rob is unobtainable to them.
I wish Rob all the luck and happiness in the world. He's very lucky to have such supportive fans as the ones on Robsessed..
Stick with us, Rob, and you won't go wrong!
Cheers
Carole
I visit this site a lot but this is my first comment.
Carole, just wanted to let you know "happyfeet" has been spreading these "rumors" since last summer. I first heard of her on the Rob's IMDb boards, she posted under Jessophie. She's a famous troll on the Kristen's IMDb board. She changes her name a lot. She's also known as peter56 and currently her username is Peanum. I only recently found out she also had a twitter. She spends all her time "warning" Kristen to stay away from Rob and always giving her "advice" to dress better, dye her hair blonde, play the field, be more sociable, be more friendly etc. A few days ago she now claimed she believed Kristen has to be a lesbian. *rolls eyes* She has admitted she is a troll in the past on IMBd. She's very weird, just giving you some background on what some of us know about "happyfeet" :)
What a saddo! As if Kristen needs advice on how to live her life! Seems to me she has a pretty good life at the moment- talent, fame, fortune, and the most gorgeous sexy boyfriend in the whole world.
I won't look at that site again. I prefer the positive stuff on Robsessed.
Carole :-)
HOOOOTTTTT!!!
