a hilarious hoax.


Amidst all the buzz about the ultimate Twilight couple, there is one photo that has set the rumor mill on fire. Spotted leaving the Charles De Gaulle airport, superstars Robert "R.Patz" Pattinson and Kristen "K.Stew" Stewart were...wait for it....holding hands. It has now been confirmed, from this photo alone, that they are in fact a couple.


As a result of the many means of social media, this picture has been seen by the masses. It has been re-posted and dissected down to how many fingers are intertwined. Comments have been made and hearts have been broken [myself included].


To highlight the absurdity of the conclusions drawn, two other Twilight superstars made a statement of their own and publicized it via Twitter. Instantly, the picture received a ton of media attention and landed its own article on people.com. 





This is PR at its finest. Instead of making formal statements to respond to all the rumors, the cast has embraced it and shown the world how ridiculous they are without outright saying it. PR requires creativity and at times, a little bit of humor.

  Well done boys.

  2. Peter and Kellan are the sunshine raining in on R-Patz and K.Stew's dreary parade. 

While Twilight's favorite on-screen (turned real life) couple has made a point of looking pouty and miserable in every picture, Pellan has taken the opposite approach. 

Your post, and the subsequent People.com article, highlights the power of a smile. While R-Patz and K.Stew's pictures will always end up on the front page of magazines and blogs, it is the fun, silly pictures taken by costars that will always take the cake.
