*Jealousy over a girl; because she happened to star in 5 movies with one actor. An actor who made his intentions 'pretty clear' that he was attracted to her?
*Legions of women lining up, hoping that this actor will take one look at them and fall helplessly in love/lust?
*Legions of men, falling over themselves, because this girl is 'hot' and anyone who is anyone, wants to work with her. Never mind bubbling over with nothing but good things to say about her strong work ethic?
BUT...mostly it's to do with him. The jealousy, the out pouring of rage. The deep seeded lust. And it's that lust, which pushes some people to become bitter, twisted harpies.
There is a love, that cannot be disguised with hate, cannot be controlled by lust. Cannot be conformed by jealousy, because it is there - written on their faces, showing in their eyes.
For all those who are quick to shoot this attraction down, they do so, because they 'don't' want to see it. It's not that they can't, they just refuse to believe it - refuse to acknowledge it exists. This is a pattern that has been seen right from the very beginning. When Rob first acknowledged and admitted he had a 'crush' on Kristen, the outcry of disbelief that poured from those, who supported the idea, that his 'working' relationship was simply that - working. And that his 'personal' involvement with his co-star, was nothing but a fantasy. Concocted by sappy women, who wanted the 'happily ever after' the characters in which they played - got.
When you watch the twilight saga; you don't just get swept away with the storyline, you get swept away watching this young couple interact and fall in love. Thanks to directors such as Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz and Bill Condon; fans got an insight into what goes on behind the scenes, when making a movie. They got introduced to the actors, felt as if they knew the 'Cullen's' and 'Black's' intimately. But in all fairness, it was mainly Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, that drew the most interest.
The bad stems from as i addressed at the top of the post, jealousy and hatred. The obsession is about the young, unknown actor, who took to the helm as an infamous Young Adult Fiction story-book hero - the immortal and looking for love Edward. From the moment he stepped onto the screen; his character more-so than himself, made young and much older women, fall in love with the ideal romance. The romantic idea that you meet someone for the very first time and fall hopelessly and desperately in love with them. Call it forbidden, call it star-crossed, call it fate, call it what you will. But the characters from the moment they laid eyes on each other, felt a pull that could not be denied (or so Stephenie Meyer proclaimed it to be)
It had started long before audition tapes, costume rehearsals and 'getting to know' one and other. Too many witnesses saw the birth and continuous growth of a relationship that at first, seemed to be frowned upon for many reasons. Struggling with the expectancy of a studio, whose hope for a success kept two people at arms length. The media scrutiny, the fans emotional following of a book and movie franchise, made sure both names would be forever tied to it. The nervous apprehension of success or failure, brought together it's own unique bond between them. Both young and incredibly gifted actors, found themselves a common ground, that they could centre themselves upon.
There are times when wasteful behaviour, drags it's own set of selfish complaints. Public Relationship (PR) as in promoting something that only exists for the sake of a movie, has been the brain-child of the jealous and hate filled. Those who seem to be forever locked in a battle, with those who believe in what is seen and not what is written in between the gossip pages. The Media's unhealthy obsession with the male's sexual orientation or preference, has been an ongoing source of interest. Too many wanted to label him as 'single' given the female fandom, he has at his beck and call.
A young man such as himself, has stoked the fires of fantasy in women believing he is attainable, despite his 3 1/2 yr relationship with Kristen. And therein, lurks the deep seeded hatred.
She has been the brunt of jokes, taunts, sexual preference and drug abuse. Kristen seems to bring out the worst in those, who want Rob single and all to themselves. It's bad enough, they make up stories just to fuel their hate; accusing Rob of having multiple affairs or 'hook ups' that seem to be the modern equivalent of a one night stand.
Those who feel he should be this way, will never understand - nor do they want to. They won't believe that Rob could walk into a movie franchise and immediately see the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. They are not willing to understand, that the person they hate - no matter what they say, will always be protected by him. What lies they spread and the countless hours they spend, pouring scorn over everything she does, including watching her movies just so they can criticise them - has his heart. Because she understands, loves and respects him for who he is, not what he is.
A love that can be seen and felt with just a look or touch, is an emotional response...
They may have signed their 'public' lives away to studios and marketing, with an assurance that they are promoted professionally. But the little bit they do have; that tiny fragment that is theirs and what they like to call 'private' is the part, they won't share with anyone.
Some people may hate them; decide that the lies the media invent are more believable, than understanding the truth and will simply continue to walk around with blinkers on, hiding what is really there. The hate and lies have no impact on Rob and Kristen, their outcome does not change a thing - they are together, because they want to be together.
