How quickly things change: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart drama continues

Just over one week ago, I was gleefully telling you all about the big Teen Choice Awards, where Twilight stars and sweethearts Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had just thrilled kids everywhere with their appearance. They were all smiles, and rightly so: They had it all.

Apparently, they didn't! Nine days later, I'm sitting here in shock, after news of Kristen Stewart's scandalous affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. No doubt this crushed Robert Pattinson, and now, in a matter of days, everything has changed.Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are certainly on the outs, and everyone's wondering if and when he'll publicly react to what's going on. Pattinson has yet to issue any kind of statement on Kristen's indiscretion, but reports have indicated he's moved out of the house he shared with her late last week. That's not at all surprising, given Kristen's ultimate betrayal.

This whole situation unfolded so quickly (and in such a dramatic fashion) that it's hard to get a grip on everything. Fans of KStew and RPatz are likely deep in mourning, wishing desperately for the good old days. Twilight movie executives have to be flipping out, wondering how on Earth Pattinson and Stewart will be able to take part in the press tours before Breaking Dawn Part 2 comes out later this year.

Now, it seems, we are getting a better sense of just how devastated Robert Pattinson is: Reports say he's not even going to do the press junket for his next (non-Twilight) movie, the David Cronenberg-directed drama Cosmopolis. The movie is set to debut in the U.S. in a little over two weeks, and Pattinson's decision to cancel press appearances is a pretty big deal, indeed.

Personally? I totally get why Robert Pattinson decided to stay out of the spotlight a little bit longer. What were the chances that the press interviews would actually be about Cosmopolis? Even if journalists were told to steer clear of any Kristen Stewart scandal questions, they wouldn't. It would only make this whole situation that much more painful for Pattinson.

Stay tuned. This is definitely far from over...
