An Equation That Will Make You Rich - all you have to do is lie.
This is a quote from Kristen Stewart during the SWATH press junket. I used a video created by Fiorels (I love her videos!) to obtain the quote; the video link will be at the bottom of this article.
Kristen Stewart: "I think that they just want something from you. It's a pretty typical thing what sells, there's a consistency there. They kind of think they have an equation that has worked out, and if you don't fit into that equation, it's like if you're not going to make me my money, get the hell out of here." Sounds like she's talking about tabloids, doesn't it?
What equation could that be? All you really have to do, in Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewarts case, is go back to 2008, when the Twilight phenomena began. Everyone immediately noticed the chemistry between Rob and Kristen, including the tabloids. The tabloids were probably salivating over this new "cash cow". I really don't remember which story the equation started with, so I'm taking a guess and saying it started with "Rob and Kristen dating!". It doesn't really matter where it began; all the rumors and lies get recycled over and over again anyway.
The first tabloid prints the "news", and the other tabloids scramble to write their own story, to make their stories able to compete with the other tabloids, they had to come up with something different, right? So they got "creative" (in other words lied). "Kristen Stewart's Boyfriend Threatens Rob", etc. (You can tell I'm not a tabloid writer - pathetic title!) But that little lie caused their website hits to jump higher than they've ever been before, their bank accounts rising right along with the site hits. It seemed Twilight fans couldn't get enough of Rob and Kristen, clicking on website after website. But then, when the website clicks started to drop, every tabloid scrambled to come up with a new angle, not caring if it was a lie or the truth. And then Kristen Stewart and Michael Angarano broke up. The tabloids were ecstatic - they knew there were at least three more films to shoot and promote, so they started creating possible storylines for their money printing cash cow.
Then, on November 10, 2009, Rob and Kristen were caught by paparazzi walking hand-in-hand, and the frenzy began.
Since that day, more bullshit has been printed and posted about Rob and Kristen than any other couple on the planet. They're either breaking up, getting back together, buying houses, having babies, yada, yada, yada. It's a never-ending circle. The basic story lines of all these articles is basically the same; just move a few words around, adjust the dates on the pictures you need to support the article, and all is well in tabloidland.
99.98% of the time, all of these articles are filled with lies. Rob and Kristen have very loyal friends, friends who would never, EVER tell a tabloid anything, and their families certainly aren't talking to anyone. So who are these "sources" and "insiders"? It could be anyone, from the bank teller whose customer saw Rob at a grocery store, it could be Kristen's dog groomer's best friends younger sister, and lately, the source could be you. The tabloids troll twitter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, looking for some little tidbit they can use in their story, and they rip tweets off right and left. It doesn't have to be true, it just has to be said.
Rob and Kristen "broke up" on or around his birthday in May. Why did they break up? Because an X17 paparazzo said so! He claimed to be watching Kristen on the phone, visibly upset, and he "guessed" she was talking to Rob, and he was breaking up with her. Man, that's some super-hero type hearing you've got there, moron. There is no way IF HE SAW HER THAT DAY AT ALL he could have heard a word she said. I say if he saw her at all because there are programs out there that allow you to change the dates on your photos. Since X17 is a highly respectable leader in the journalism field, all the other tabloids joined along and had a great big money-making break up party! The happy couple everyone saw in April had "broken up"! But really! WHY DID THEY BREAK UP? Because the webloids were losing clicks, which meant losing money. Happy couples just don't sell as well as the couples that break-up. THAT'S why the "break-up" story was pulled out and dusted off. Yet everyone just had to click on those sites just to "be sure" they were okay, and to support them in the comment section. Do you honestly believe they read those comments? THINK ABOUT IT. Couples don't go from what looked like super happy to that's it, we're done, it's over, in a matter of days.
Well, then, why haven't they been seen together? I'm not going to get into Ping-Pong-Gate, but other than the truck pic with Rob and Kristen, has anyone seen any pix of the two together? I've got a few maybes, but nothing concrete except for ping pong day. The thing is - HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE NO PICTURES? You don't. Why? Because the break-up stories are still selling, making money. When the tabloids notice a drop in clicks and rag sales, that's when they'll pull out the "back together" articles, along with date-altered pix of Rob and Kristen. Who knows - maybe the ping pong pix were released on purpose, gearing us up for the back together pictures, taking their little "polls", seeing if everyone is ready for them to be "back together". Who knows why tabloids do ANY of the things they do.
It goes without saying, that the "pregnant" stories will be right on the heals of the "back together" stories. Everyone see the circle now? Is it at least getting clearer? How about this: Let's stick with the fan sites for news and pix of Rob and Kristen. At least you know their news is true. There are many to choose from, and most have very reliable information. I've got my favorites, and I'm sure you've got your own. Don't give the tabloids the clicks please. That's only paying them to lie to you.
