GossipCop: Latest Robert Pattinson Rumors Give Us Headache

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".
