And now a few words on Kristen Stewart.
Entertainment Weekly had the opportunity to speak with Stewart (and Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner) in Vancouver before “Eclipse” wrapped. As everyone now knows, during the conversation Stewart “got nicely fired up” about constant questions concerning the nature of her relationship with Pattinson.
“I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it,” Stewart told the magazine, going on to point out that people seem to assume that the choice to become an actor erases one’s right to privacy. Then Stewart gave the comments headlined around the world, “There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’ I’m just trying to keep something.”
Smart and media savvy, Stewart knew which word would rock the blogosphere. And it did.
What Gossip Cop wants, and what we think nearly all of our readers want (judging by your comments and e-mails) is not just honesty in reporting, but also civility and respect.

Her private life – like Pattinson’s, like Lautner’s, like everyone’s – is private. The celebrities who let fans get a glimpse of their lives are the ones who do so willingly and happily. They are not browbeaten or blackmailed into it.
