Robert Pattinson has been noticeably flying under the radar (even more so than normal!) since his romance with Kristen Stewart hit a sour note with her cheating scandal with her much older and married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. While the rumors have circulated about his drunk-dialing incidents, what shines through more is his seeming discretion in dealing with the situation. He obviously must be crushed and incredibly disappointed, but he's apparently not throwing any stones, which has also led to plenty of tongue-wagging about whether he'll be able to move past his girlfriend's indiscretion and stay together with her.
Pattinson will have to break his silence soon enough, though, as he'll be hitting up the red carpets and the press circuit for his premiere of Cosmopolis. He already has stops at The Daily Show and Good Morning America on his schedule. But how will he deal with the questions that will surely be thrown his way about S & S: Stewart and Sanders?
Will he dodge the inquiries or perhaps play coy? Will he utilize his sarcastic wit to deflect from his true emotional pain... or will he plainly address the scandal?
Hollywood Life, for one, thinks Pattinson should speak fully and freely about Kristen Stewart, especially during his GMA interview on Aug. 15; a no-holds-barred talk session of sorts. The site backs up the rationale with five reasons why it's such a good idea. Some of the points are valid; some a bit far-fetched.
1. It's Pattinson's chance to show the world he's a mature adult who can handle anything that life throws his way. (Hopefully, he's wearing his big-boy pants!)
2. Kristen deserves to see that he's able to live his life and that her actions can't derail his awesome career. (Pattinson's future success--and maybe even another hot girlfriend on his arm--may be the best revenge; not that he wants to seek any.)
3. He owes it to his beloved fans. They've been crying along with him, and he can reassure them that he's okay. (Well, Pattinson may appreciate his fans, but it seems unlikely he cares much about their feelings in his own love story gone wrong.)
4. Talking about Kristen may settle the storm a bit. If Pattinson ignores the elephant in the room, sometimes it makes the issue even bigger. (This is perhaps Hollywood Life's most logical reason for Robert Pattinson to discuss the Kristen Stewart drama. No point in trying to ignore such a blatant scandal that has spun itself silly through every major and minor news and gossip source--and that continues to spin.)
5. The best revenge is living well. (Hmm... there's that revenge thing again.)
Regardless of what Pattinson chooses to say--or not say--it will be a fascinating GMA segment. And, actions do speak louder than words. So as long as the British heart-throb doesn't pull a Chris Brown (i.e. smash a window and storm out shirtless with the mention of an ex, ahem, Rihanna), then he should be golden.

Kristen, forgive yourself and all who have hurt you. You are worthy of love!
I think comments and media coverage such as this are way out of line. You continue to show pictures of the event, old story lines, and repeating the events; hoping to stir the public, and continuing to hurt them all. If you want to give a story, give facts, not fiction, stop rehashing and linking to the event. Stop everything and let them all heal. Take down your old stories, pictures and fan comments so they can't be found if you really care about their wellbeing. Oh, I forgot, you're in this for the money. You don't really care about their health and wellbeing. You’re just pretending you care. Ooops, my bad!
All you selfish, perfect, and judgmental people that can't seem to do anything but point fingers and sling hate, jealousy, viciousness and ridicule, forget the people directly involved in this scandal! My heart is so heavy with sadness and pain for you all. "He, who hath no sin, cast the first stone." I am not a bible thumper but there is such a thing as basic human compassion. Where is your compassion, for the pain EVERYONE is in, including your own? Not only are you intentionally hurting "ALL" the people involved, don't you realize you are hurting yourselves and those reading your comments? (Robert Pattinson included...I am sure your hateful comments hurt him because you are hurting someone he cares very deeply for, even if you don't think so, he does! You are not helping him; you are hurting him as much as you hurt everyone else.) What has Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson done to you to deserve the hurt you have caused them by feeding into a frenzy of hatred, jealousy, disrespect, viciousness, and anger that does not belong to you? They have given you all that they can and what you wanted, entertained you. Is this how you repay them? Where is love, compassion, understanding and forgiveness? This is not support. Your vicious, hateful, jealous comments prove you are no better than those you point your fingers towards. You are being just as selfish, by not caring that you are hurting people just because you want to vent. Your words hurt just as much as anything Kristen has done, if not more, shame on all of you. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I have one SERIOUS question for all of you:
"Will you hold yourselves unaccountable for your actions; shrug your cold, hateful shoulders, especially, if any one of these people are...so fragile...that they can't deal with their own guilt compounded by your harsh crassness and end up dead?"
Tread lightly, please, for their sakes, and yours, because there is no excuse for this wickedness. Two wrongs don't make it right, nor, do billions of wrongs. Do not underestimate the power of your words, they can heal and destroy. Please choose to help everyone heal.
