Rob and Kristen aren't saying whether they're actually seeing each other, but with a sneaking suspicion that these two are putting some extracurricular work into practicing those upcomingBreaking Dawn honeymoon scenes, we decided to run their star charts anyway.
Rob is a Taurus, which means he's the three S's: sane, stable and stubborn. And that's great because you don't have to be psychic to realize that Kristen could use some stability in her life. The willful Aries' fiery ways are just as likely to burn bridges as they are to ignite the passion of her icy cool vampire boy. But hey that's why this couple works: fire and ice. It almost makes that wince-inducing reading of Robert Frost at the beginning of Eclipse seem excusable... almost.
The Good: Good news Robsten fans. If these two are already together, it's going to take more than paparazzi pot shots to tear them apart. The fire sign/earth sign pairing can fizzle faster than the box office take for Remember Me, but if the two successfully find common ground, the partnership that can produce Twilight level dividends.
Check the interviews to see the two personalities at work.
Rob takes even annoying interviews in stride, openly acknowledging the silliness inherent in his own celebrity as a vampire heartthrob. It's classic fixed sign stuff. He's down-to-earth, funny, and stubbornly unflappable. On the other hand, Kristen is a powder keg waiting to blow when she's interviewed alone. She's quick to annoy, partial to four-letter words and treats her fame like a major pain in the ass.
But get these two together, and the dynamic just evens out. The classic example is the Oprah interview where she asked them both point blank whether they were seeing each other and Rob quickly diffused the situation by joking that Kristen was pregnant.
The Bad: The Taurus/ Aries combo isn't a super-compatible one. Even after getting over that first hump in the relationship, this is the kind of thing that both partners are going to have to actively work at and manage as long as they're together. Rob could always decide he wants someone who isn't going to play strippers and rock stars just to explicitly distance herself from her Twilight persona, and Kristen could decide Rob is just too boring in real life.
In the Stars? If these two really are a couple, their charts suggest they're going to stay that way for a while. Kristen herself has admitted to the immediate attraction she felt toward Rob when they screen-tested together for Twilight. And really isn't that chemistry the real reason we've spent so much money on movie tickets and merchandise over the past three years?
Beyond 'Breaking Dawn' - Will Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's Careers Flourish?
0 comments Posted by pece at 4:37 AM
As the curtain closes on their Twilight careers, the question remains whether or not Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will continue their box office domination or even come close to it.
While it's impossible to know how well their future films will fair -- both at the box office and critically -- we can look back at their previous roles outside of Twilight.
Judging Them as Actors, Not Sex Symbols
Stewart's first major role outside of the vampire world was Adventureland. This 2009 dramedy won positive reviews, and in Stewart, starred one of the newest, most popular actresses in Hollywood. It would seem like a recipe for success. Only the film was a box office dud, making less than $20 million domestically. At least the critics loved Kristen.
Roger Ebert had this to say about Stewart's performance: "What surprised me was how much I admired Kristen Stewart, who in Twilight, was playing below her grade level. Here is an actress ready to do important things."
She had proved to the world that she could hold her own on screen, without all the fake blood, make-up and a dreamy Robert Pattinson by her side. What she wasn't able to prove was that she could carry a non-Twilight film to box office gold. Or even silver. $20 million is less than Breaking Dawn will make in one day.
But what about Pattinson? In 2010's Remember Me, the British hunk starred as a moody New Yorker. It failed to wow critics, but managed to bring in a very respectable $56 million at the box office. Did people flock to the theater just because R-Patz was in the movie?
They certainly showed up in hordes to get his autograph. But then cameWater for Elephants, based on the extremely popular novel by the same name. Compared to Remember Me, this film had a pretty big budget ($38 million), so making around $100 million worldwide wasn't the largest of splashes, but it was impressive when compared with Stewart's numbers. Then again, when you throw in the cost of having the elephant show up at all your press events... who knows how much they really made.
Their Future
Pattinson is well aware of how big the transition away from Twilight will be. As he explained to the Chicago Sun-Times: "It does feel like a breakup. I do love the guy — and I’m going to miss him. I prefer to think of ending this franchise like leaving school. It’s the last day of high school.” It's nice of Pattinson to make that analogy since most of his fans are high school kids anyway.
Stewart just wrapped up production on the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic novel, On the Road. Again, she'll be starring in a movie based on an immensely popular (and in this case, iconic) book. Though it's not the type of film we see making boatloads of money, it should give her plenty of room to flex her acting muscle. Stewart's also set to play the fairest of them all inSnow White and the Hunstman, set to hit theaters in July 2012. And that film has summer blockbuster written all over it.
Neither Pattinson nor Stewart have had the kind of success at the box office that their mega-franchiseTwighlight has. But perhaps it's wrong to assume they were directly responsible for turning the vampire goodness into gold. After all, the saga had a deep-rooted and fanatic fanbase before it even came to the big screen, just like Harry Potterbefore it.
That said, their popularity and stardom is unquestionable, which explains why they continue to get hired on for new roles despite their relative inability to draw in the crowds when they aren't sharing the screen. Maybe the only real solution down the line is to just cast them together from now on. Or maybe we're just too excited for Breaking Dawn to think straight.

With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 arriving later this year (November 18), Summit has finally started up the promotional campaign by giving EW some new images from the final two movies. In addition, the magazine has tied the new images into a cover story with new quotes from director Bill Condon, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.
While I think the Twilight movies have been getting better with each installment, I’m genuinely excited to see what Condon has done with the final two films as I think he’s a great director. Also, I can’t wait to see what he’s done with some of the controversial stuff in the last book.
Here’s the synopsis for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn:
In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the newfound married bliss of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world.After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally give in to their passions. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal.But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle.The suspenseful and deeply romantic Breaking Dawn continues the epic tale of supernatural fantasy and passionate love that has made The Twilight Saga a worldwide phenomenon.Currently in Production. U.S. release via Summit Entertainment, November 18, 2011, and November 16, 2012.

"I always see these things like, 'Can he act or not?,'" he said. "It's like, I'm nothing like Edward. What do you think I'm doing in that? So (when a new role arises), everyone's like 'It's very different'."
Telling the story of a veterinary school student Jacob who meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era, "Water for Elephants" was only given a 49% rating from movie review site Rotten Tomatoes. It says the film "has an evocative sense of its time and place but lacks the burning passions required to pull off this type of romantic weepie."
While renowned critic Roger Ebert gave the movie three stars, calling the film "endearingly old-fashioned", the New
The pic was released on Friday, April 22 in 2,817 theaters across the nation. Fox 2000 estimated an opening weekend gross of $13 million to $15 million, particularly coming from female audience.
Robert Pattinson even pretended to be friends with Britain's young royals in a bid to impress new pals, confessing his ploy to U.S. TV host Jimmy Kimmel.
He says, "I don't think I've ever met them (the royals). I used to tell people when I came to the States that I did. They believed me! Five or six years ago when I first used to come to Los Angeles there weren't many English people, now there are like a million and people still believe me."

Talking to the Chicago Sun-Times, the hunky vampire wouldn't speculate on marriage, but did say he'd "love to have a family -- sometime in the future." Whether that family ends up including Stewart or some other lucky lady is impossible to know.
With the final installment of the Twilight saga under wraps, Pattinson can leave all the make-up and fangs behind him. But will he hold on to Kristen? And do you see him as a good father?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Go for a Birthday Bike Ride
0 comments Posted by pece at 7:53 PM
A source told told Us Magazine, "Rob led the crowd singing for her, and you could tell she was so embarrassed but in a cute way!"
Stewart and her guests chowed down on oysters and hors d'oeuvres as well as a "simple chocolate cake" created by a private catering company. Witnesses say Stewart and Pattinson made no attempt to conceal their affection for one another: "Rob and Kristen were together all night. They held hands and he kissed her cheek a bunch of times."
Stewart was treated to a big birthday surprise: Another source told Us that people pitched in to buy Kristen a motorcycle.
"Rob was so excited for Kristen and they each took turns riding it. Kristen learned to ride a dirt bike in New Moon so they thought it would be appropriate. Rob was supervising as she sat on it to make sure she was ok. They looked like they were having a great time, and it will be something they can really enjoy!"
Maybe Rob and Kristen will use the new bike for an impromptu road trip after their next projects wrap up. Stewart is starring in the upcoming adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, after all.
Robert Pattinson Was Not Sexy While Filming 'Water for Elephants' Love Scenes

“Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I’ve ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life," Reese told intouchweekly.com. "I’m going to say it’s a little bit of a downer. I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t sexy.
“He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it – and it was not appealing. I’m talking green, infectious, disgusting – I’m not kidding!”
Their unfortunate timing aside, Rob has had nothing but good things to say about filming the movie, especially since it doesn't involve loads of make-up and yellow contact lenses.
“It’s nice to be able to actually touch your face without thinking you’re going to get a huge smudge mark over it," he said. "Not having a big kabuki mask on and contacts lenses for ‘Water for Elephants’ was a totally different experience.”

The British heartthrob told Elle.com: “You know, when the whole thing dries up and there's hardly any paparazzi around - I don't know, in 15 years or something - I like the idea of just one paparazzo coming out and trying to get a picture, and I just beat the s**t out of him. I mean - out of nowhere - when my picture's not even worth anything … and I've spent all my money, so you can't sue me!”
Pattinson, whose next role is opposite Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon in romantic dramaWater for Elephants, has developed some unusual techniques to try stop the paparazzi.
He revealed: “A bunch of paparazzi were following me, and I thought the best way to deal with it was to stop my car in the middle of the street and say, 'I'm not leaving, and I'm not going to speak to you anymore.’ They got all p***ed off because they can't just keep taking the same picture. We were in Venice by the boardwalk, and they kept trying to get all these drug dealers to come up to the car. I was just like, ‘Oh my God, this is insane.’ ”
