ITALIAN VANITY FAIR WRONG ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON


An interview with Robert Pattinson in Italian Vanity Fair has created a huge stir on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hundreds of outlets have zeroed in on a portion of the interview in which Pattinson says, “I am single… almost everything that came out about my private life is false.”

RadarOnline.com highlights the line and declares that it “clears up a few misconceptions about his life and loves in an interview with the magazine,” specifically that it torpedoes rumors of a romance with Kristen Stewart.

So is this – at long last – the final word on Robsten?

Well, allow Gossip Cop to “clear up a few misconceptions” about the interview itself.

We reached out to the Milan offices of Conde Nast (Vanity Fair’s publisher) and asked about the nature of the Pattinson cover story.

The magazine told us the article is actually a compilation of separate interviews (conducted by the same writer) in New York, at Cannes, and in Rome during the Italian promotional leg for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” They stressed that it was “not a specific one-on-one,” but rather a “mix of meetings” and interviews.

Most importantly, when asked about the “I am single” line, Vanity Fair told Gossip Cop Pattinson gave that specific remark during the Cannes Film Festival.

Last May.

So sites trying to pass off the “newsy” tidbit as having anything to do with Pattinson’s relationship status are seven months off.
