0 Rob and Kristen - When Life Throws You Lemons...

Well, hello there handsome...

The jungle drums have been beating frantically, as a certain 'tall, dark, slightly shaven...handsome actor, who goes by the name of Rob - arrived in Berlin for the Berlinale (Film Festival) and of course, the low-key premiere of 'Bel Ami'

Straight away; the hullabaloo surrounding his 'hair' has been persistently ridiculous. 'Why has he shaven his head again, is it for a role? Why has he done this, i miss his lovely hair! I don't like it, i really don't like it, it doesn't suite him at all!

Listen my little ones, those who believe their thoughts mean one ounce of anything relating to Rob or indeed Kristen - it's not your life! Get it? As much as 'fans' believe their opinion matters end of...and that they have the right to 'vocalise' because they have freedom of speech - sometimes the mouth runneth over and bullshit falls out. That, and of course the long winded argument 'Is Kristen going to be there?'

Rob with Christina Ricci...

Dear god, give me the strength i need to survive this fandom - sincerely, me!
It's times like this i wonder to myself, why on earth do some people claim to be fans, when they either 'question everything or panic about nothing!' It's either 'is she or isn't she?' Followed by 'Why did she not go with him, what's wrong with this picture?' 
Erm...nothing.

For those who seem very knowledgeable when it comes to all things Kristen and Rob, it can be pretty scary sometimes the way their minds work.
For instance...

Kristen is not in Berlin (to the best of my knowledge) based on common sense and a little bit of 'she hasn't been seen - therefore...' So does that mean she doesn't care about Rob's career? Does that mean there is something wrong with this picture? Why isn't she lassoed to his side the entire time he steps out in public for an appearance? Why all this ducking and diving and being uber private - what does that all mean?

The answer my dears is pretty simple...because they don't see their 'private' relationship as anyone's business, but their own. They don't need to sell it by stepping out together at every event imaginable just to get papped by photogs, earning money off their backs by selling them to the highest bidder.

They don't need to turn up to every event the other one has to do, just so they can 'publicly' support 'their' other half. Kristen's support means everything to Rob and she knows it, but she supports him quietly and respectfully, that's what couple's do. There is and never will be drama in their lives, just the people claiming they 'support them' doing it all on their own. So Kristen didn't go to Berlin with Rob - big-fucking-deal! 

Loving the watch, people...

It's not the end of the world as far as 'they' are concerned. The only people who are making a huge thing about this are those who 'need the attention' need to see Kristen and Rob arm in arm like any other celebrity couple. And...if they don't know by now - Rob and Kristen are NOT a typical 'celebrity' couple - they don't need the attention. Kristen staying away is out of respect. This is a movie event that should showcase Rob's acting talent, not to be over shadowed by fans screaming and shouting, because his 'girlfriend' chose to come with him. As far as i can see, Kristen would have been privy to a private screening of this movie; something Rob has done himself in the past - 'The Runaways', 'Welcome to the Riley's' and i would not be surprised if he has seen rough cuts of 'On the Road' and 'Snow White...'

Breaking Dawn in London...

This is how they roll, they don't do 'public' they do 'private' it doesn't show any less support by not being by his side in a fairly low key event. Fan's should have a bit more respect when it comes to 'airing their opinions' surrounding two people whose lives have little, if nothing to do with them. If it's not his hair or lack-therof, then it's Kristen's absence that is sparking so much controversy and it's the very nature of this beast, that causes the continuous attacks from the haters, who find all of this hilarious. They too find Rob and Kristen fascinating, but for all the wrong reasons. This couple have proved that they will remain 'private' - publicly. They will never be 'Brad and Angelina' turning up at every event sometimes with their kids on tow, simply because they keep it strictly out of the spotlight and away from the cameras.

Respecting Rob and Kristen means, letting them get on with their own lives and not having to constantly question what they are doing. How would you feel if it was your 'partnership' that was constantly under the spotlight. Questioned and analysed by people, who have no business being in your lives in the first place? If life throws you lemons you either suck on them and become bitter with the taste, or go with the flow and make lemonade. Which is exactly what Rob and Kristen are doing. 

Finally...
It's nice to see Rob again; we have all missed his happy, smiling face and hair or no hair - who gives a flying fuck about it! Role or no role, shaving it off because he loves the freedom of losing Edward Cullen, or simply down to proving that 'fans do not control his life' seeing as his hair is the object of many a woman's fantasy...
He is still Robert Pattinson and he is starring in a movie called Bel Ami and at this moment in time - that should be all that matters.

Have a great weekend everyone and those lucky enough to see the scandalous, seductive movie - i hope you enjoy it and of course, don't get tempted too much by Georges Duroy!

Devilishly handsome Duroy...
