Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Wild Ride

With Twilight, the young actors found themselves thrust into the spotlight. Now, while their characters are torn apart in New Moon, they couldn't be closer. For more, see pictures from their cover shoot and video with a sneak peek at New Moon. Plus, 11 things you didn't know about Rob & Kristen.
By Laura Brown RobPattinson's and Kristen Stewart's rooms sit side by side on thethirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver ("theCouve," as Kristen calls it), where they are filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilightsaga. They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky -- twoRapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors --because it's really, really hard to go out. "There are like 15different exits in this place," observes Kristen of the tactics she andthe rest of the Twilight cast use to avoid the paparazzi. Sheadds, "Rob is more frustrated with it, but he's 23 and I'm 19. He had acouple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just asI was getting to the age when it's normal to go out by yourself ..."She pauses. "But it's boring because this is all I $%^&ing talk about."

Rob talks about it too. "Do you mind if we sit outside?" he asks ashe stands in his hotel room, looking longingly out the window. "I needsome air." It's a cold, gray day, but who is to deny him some freedom?(And chivalry is not dead, girls. A young man will still lend you hisjacket. Maybe because he is British.) Rob doesn't just face paparazzi,he gets clawing, shrieking girls too. New Yorkers may remember he wasclipped by a cab while fleeing from the ladies on the set of Remember Methis past summer. "But at least that's an experience, something new,"he says. "If it's just screaming -- and I know this sounds soridiculous -- that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos,it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're justrunning through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knowswhat's going on." Rob has laid low for a few days -- a disturbance inthe Force so great that Perez Hilton (home of some of Rob's 15,200,000Google hits) felt compelled to post, "Where is R-Patz?!" "If I'm notout, I've had a heroin overdose," Rob observes. "It's one thing oranother."

At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two, who, as Twilight'sBella and Edward, manifest all of our vampiric romance fetishes: Arethey dating or what? Well ... it's clear that Rob and Kristen are close-- very close. Okay, who is the most romantic then? "I have ano-bullshit detector," says Kristen, "so I'd have to say Rob is. Ithink romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's sodisarming." Rob chuckles when asked the same question. "Um, I don'tknow. What did Kristen say?" You. "No. I'm better at faking." This isfollowed by a very long laugh.

The two first met at the 2007 auditions for Twilight,what they both assumed was going to be a cult vampire movie -- not a$380-million-grossing global phenomenon complete with their ownBarbies. They were thrown into a bedroom scene -- well, a scene in abedroom, anyway. "It wasn't like we had to lie down together,"Kristen says, "but we were very reactive. We had a very responsive,palpable thing." Robert notoriously took half a Valium beforehand. "Iwas calm and collected, and then we do this thing where we're prettymuch making out. I've since tried to do it at another audition, but itcompletely just collapsed." He adds, "Kristen was very different fromhow I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind ofintimidated."

Even though she was born and bred in chillaxed LosAngeles, Kristen is an intense young lady -- and the shock of unrulyblack hair she currently has (a legacy from her role as Joan Jett inthe upcoming The Runaways) does nothing to dispel that perception. Some Twilight fans were upset about their Bella turning into a noir-haired badass, but rest assured she'll be wearing a wig in Eclipse."I think it's ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to beconventionally pretty," she declares, then smiles, "but now that myhair's grown out and shaggy, it sort of looks a little funny. I'lladmit that." Kristen swears like a sailor and feels everything 200percent. "She's a unique girl," says Rob simply. "You really don't meetmany people like Kristen."

Today, in the hotel's ConstellationSuite, Kristen is sitting on the concrete terrace in her uniform ofjeans, a white tank under another tie-dyed one, and a hoodie. "I'mlike, $%^&, I'm not wearing a neon-colored tube top or something pink,"she says, putting her at odds with many in her red-carpet, The Hills-ianpeer group. Ask her who made her top and she has no idea. A look at thetag, though, reveals something called Born Famous Couture. She looksmortified, then cackles. "I did not buy this, I promise."

Ofthe two, it seems Kristen wears the pants. (While she will admit to onegirlish thing, a love of Chanel, her dream outfit is a custom BrooksBrothers suit.) When she ventures into a dress, it might just becovered in metal, like the Rock & Republic mini she wore to theTeen Choice Awards earlier this year. "Everyone was like, 'Look at yourspiky skirt!'" she says with a grin, "and I was like, 'Spiky skirt?They were bullets, mofo!'" She gets some stick in the media for notsuffering fools. "People think I'm trying to be rebellious, but that'sthe last thing I'm doing," she says. "But I would hate myself if Itried to satisfy the people who have a problem with the way I speakabout myself, so it's okay."

"Kristen doesn't take any slack,"Rob says. "She sticks to her guns -- and that's difficult to do." Healso thinks she's a better actor than he is. "I don't really know howto act. I'm kind of guessing everything. ... Even though I canconceptualize stuff, she can actually do it. I can make something socomplex and then be like, That was pout 27." He reckons she's a betterjudge of character too. "She'll decide on someone a lot quicker. Shehas a lot more self-esteem than I do, so she's like, 'You're an idiotand I don't want to talk to you,' and I'm like, 'I'm an idiot too!' SoI'll talk to an idiot for like three days before deciding."

Thathandicap aside, Rob is gloriously handsome. The planes of his face workbeautifully in 3-D, 2-D, probably 1-D too. But in person, he doesn'thave a whole lot of game. He is self-deprecating to a fault. (Duringthe interview, he refers to himself as an idiot a half dozen times.) Healso maintains, in all seriousness, that he's never broken up with agirl; they've always broken up with him. "Eventually, the girl is like,'I know it's got nothing to do with me. You're an?...?idiot.'"

Inthe corner of Rob's hotel room sits a stack of boxes. "Most of it is mydirty washing from New York," he says shamefacedly. "I didn't do anywashing the whole time I was there. I just put it in boxes and shippedthem up here." When his clean laundry runs out, he steals socks andunderwear from sets. I find a suspicious lump in his jacket pocket,which turns out to be a pair of black socks. "Oh, God!" he says,bursting out in laughter. "See? I'm a klepto."

Famousness, itseems, hit Rob before he could coordinate his infrastructure. The mostfunctional parts of his hotel room's decor are a couple of guitars anda box of Ray-Bans. "Do you want a pair?" he asks, thrusting them intomy hand. "I've got 16." At least he's prepared to withstand the glareof the spotlight. He chuckles and says, "My dad says he likes to baskin my glow."

Rob might want to stash some of those sunglasses, because the excitement about next summer's release of Eclipse, in which Bella and Edward get engaged, might, yes, eclipse New Moon.The tabloids are excitedly reporting that Rob and Kristen are"Engaged!" based solely on them calling each other "husband" and "wife"on set. So it seems only appropriate to hit them with a newlywed gameof sorts. ...

Who spends more time on their hair?

Kristen: "Rob."

Rob: "I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can't stand people -- um, I'll do anything to not have any touch-ups."

Competitive?

Kristen:"Rob. In a very childish way, in every aspect of his life. He'llliterally start talking in a different voice if he's won something. Hesounds like a five-year-old."

Rob: "I'd say it was even. She said me? Really? When I really win things, it's just like..." [Kristen is correct: He makes a noise like a five-year-old.]

Athletic?

Kristen:"I'm definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call himFlippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run ..."

Rob: "Kristen. You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I'm supposed to be the superhero."

Egotistical?

Kristen:"I'd have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every timehe looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could givea $%^& about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."

Rob:"It's kind of a tie. We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is moresolid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous.Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like,godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hellothe right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."

Who Googles themselves more?

Kristen: "Rob."

Rob:"She would say me, but I reckon it's her. If either one of us catchesthe other one doing it, we're like, Jesus Christ, is that what you'relooking at? And the other one's on their phone pretending to text. Ilook up my competition more than she does. I'm incredibly shallow. Ithink she just looks at herself."

Who's the better musician?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a great singer. Heartbreaking."

The most outgoing?

Rob: "I was once, but not so much anymore. Kristen's a little more open now."

Better sport?

Kristen: "Who can hang? Definitely me. He's very sensitive. He's got a fragile ego."

Superstitious?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a little bit more paranoid, so that feeds into superstition more."

Rob:"I am. I believe a lot in karma and stuff. Like when I end up with eggon my face, I'm like, Fate! I was born doomed. But I think it's morebeing an idiot than superstitious."

But perhaps it pays to be alittle paranoid. Whatever it takes for Rob and Kristen to live theirhothouse lives as normally as they can -- until the November 20 openingof New Moon, anyway. In the interim, CNN will report wheneverRob gets a haircut (it already has), and girls will get mad at Kristenfor not wearing pink tube tops and taking their dream man away. Theyboth fantasize about what they would do if nobody could see them. "I'dlike to say something noble," Rob says, fiddling with his hair, "butI'd probably spy on people to hear what they think of me -- and thenhate them for it afterward." Kristen is, as ever, a little blunter:"I'd go for a walk."
