Why We Loved It So Much: We want Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to be together with the same intensity with which Edward and Bella want to rip each other’s clothes off in the movie. A real life Rob and Kristen romance (Kristert? Robsten? Pattinwart?) would bring millions of vampirical Twilight fantasies a touch closer to reality. Plus, Pattinson and Stewart are a natural fit, as it seems the only people the begrudging stars actually like are each other.
Now, Not So Much: Yes, we care about the pair. Really, we do. But the endless speculation — Are they dating? Has Kristen left her boyfriend? Did they hookup in Italy? Does Robert fall asleep on a tear-stained pillow at night because he cant have her? — is pointless. And the opposite of news. Just because they hung out at a bar once or twice doesn’t mean they’re bf/gf. It just means they’re friends that like to drink. And that alleged Italian dinner date? The duo ate with several other people, although reports are conflicting as to whether or not Stewart’s longtime boyfriend Michael Angarano threw down on that spaghetti with them. Either way, the group dynamic makes Robert more hungry hunk than partner in romance. Until we see pictures of Rob and Kristen playing under-the-table footsie, we’re not buying the rumors. We’re all about a bonafide Stewartinson hookup, but at this point, it’s as much a fantasy as vampires and werewolves.
