New Moon, the sequel to the blockbuster film Twilight, isn't even in postproduction yet, and it's already stirring up headlines in Hollywood. The love triangle between actors Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed-who play the characters of Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Rosalie Hale, respectively-has been the subject of rumor since the release of Twilight. "The girls are competing for Rob's attention," an unnamed source told Star magazine. "Kristen and Nikki both like him, and it's getting ugly."
How ugly? Well, it seems things have moved past the flirting and suggestive paparazzi photos of the Twilight days. Pattinson, despite staying in a different Vancouver hotel than the actresses (to protect him from the fangirls, no doubt), is frequently spotted at the girls' hotel-very, very early in the morning. One eyewitness, a regular in the hotel's News Café, reports, "[Rob] charges coffee to a suite on the ninth floor, where Nikki has a room. He always looks like he just woke up."
But when Nikki returned to Los Angelas for a few days, another insider dishes that "Rob was hitting the 12th floor, where Kristen is staying!"
So, who's winning the battle for Rob's heart? Jasmine Mamujee, an extra on New Moon, tells Star: "It's as though he has a crush on both of them. He's a ladies' man, and he likes to play around."
"Both girls might be the losers in this war," agreed another source.
It's not all rocky love, though. Actors Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathborne, who play on-screen lovers Alice and Jasper, aren't denying their flying sparks. While numerous photos and sizzling on-screen chemistry have suggested a romance between the two, Green is adamant that they're not dating-but admits that the only thing keeping them from doing so are their schedules.
"He and I both don't have time to date, but we do have amazing chemistry," she says.
"We both have such big crushes on each other and it clearly shows. We got along instantly and the day we met, he was teaching me how to swing dance. . He does everything. He sings, he dances, and he's so sweet. Even my mum has a crush on him and tells me, 'You should date him.' So, who knows, maybe when we both stop running around the world."
One thing's for sure-for a movie about forbidden romance, it's certainly got its share of drama. Maybe some of it will even make it onto the screen.
