Fake Gossip: Kristen and Robert to Split in 19 Months

Gossipcop: It’s a measure of just how desperate many gossip outlets are when it comes to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart that forecasting the couple’s future now includes hypothetical events after the next U.S. presidential election.

According to a new rumor, the actors “plan to split” after the second part of Breaking Dawn hits theaters… in November 2012.

“They do not want to be tied down but at the same time they do not want to have to film or promote the last two Twilight movies with the subject of their private lives high on the agenda,” explains a so-called “source close to the pair.”

Wait, they do not “want to be tied down”?

Actually, it sounds like the sites behind these rumors don’t want to be “tied” to any statement that has relevance for the next year and a half.

It reminds Gossip Cop of Perez Hilton’s famous 2007 declaration that Fidel Castro had died.

Of course, Castro hadn’t really died, and still hasn’t died, but whenever he does finally die, Perez can claim that he “scooped” everyone else! Who cares if it was based on completely baseless, premature speculation!

In any case, the assertion that Pattinson and Stewart “plan to split quietly as the franchise comes to an end” is totally useless, and if November 2012 comes and they’re still together, expect these outlets to “quietly” ignore all of the predictions made today.
