Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Do ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the principal stars of The Twilight Saga movie franchise, are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine in order to promote their upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In their joint coverstory interview, K. Stew and R. Pattz talk at length … about each other. To be honest, it’s a cute read … here is their cover of HB mag and some excerpts from the coverstory article:
Rob Pattinson’s and Kristen Stewart’s rooms sit side by side on the thirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver (“the Couve,” as Kristen calls it), where they are filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight saga. They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky — two Rapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors — because it’s really, really hard to go out. “There are like 15 different exits in this place,” observes Kristen of the tactics she and the rest of the Twilight cast use to avoid the paparazzi. She adds, “Rob is more frustrated with it, but he’s 23 and I’m 19. He had a couple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just as I was getting to the age when it’s normal to go out by yourself …” She pauses. “But it’s boring because this is all I fucking talk about.” Rob talks about it too. “Do you mind if we sit outside?” he asks as he stands in his hotel room, looking longingly out the window. “I need some air.” It’s a cold, gray day, but who is to deny him some freedom? (And chivalry is not dead, girls. A young man will still lend you his jacket. Maybe because he is British.) Rob doesn’t just face paparazzi, he gets clawing, shrieking girls too. New Yorkers may remember he was clipped by a cab while fleeing from the ladies on the set of Remember Me this past summer. “But at least that’s an experience, something new,” he says. “If it’s just screaming — and I know this sounds so ridiculous — that gets old. But sometimes when there’s literal chaos, it’s like being in a war zone, and that’s kind of exciting. You’re just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what’s going on” … At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two, who, as Twilight’s Bella and Edward, manifest all of our vampiric romance fetishes: Are they dating or what? Well … it’s clear that Rob and Kristen are close — very close. Okay, who is the most romantic then? “I have a no-bullshit detector,” says Kristen, “so I’d have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.” Rob chuckles when asked the same question. “Um, I don’t know. What did Kristen say?” You. “No. I’m better at faking.” This is followed by a very long laugh … Of the two, it seems Kristen wears the pants. (While she will admit to one girlish thing, a love of Chanel, her dream outfit is a custom Brooks Brothers suit.) When she ventures into a dress, it might just be covered in metal, like the Rock & Republic mini she wore to the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year. “Everyone was like, ‘Look at your spiky skirt!’” she says with a grin, “and I was like, ‘Spiky skirt? They were bullets, mofo!’” She gets some stick in the media for not suffering fools. “People think I’m trying to be rebellious, but that’s the last thing I’m doing,” she says. “But I would hate myself if I tried to satisfy the people who have a problem with the way I speak about myself, so it’s okay.” “Kristen doesn’t take any slack,” Rob says. “She sticks to her guns — and that’s difficult to do.” He also thinks she’s a better actor than he is. “I don’t really know how to act. I’m kind of guessing everything. … Even though I can conceptualize stuff, she can actually do it. I can make something so complex and then be like, That was pout 27.” He reckons she’s a better judge of character too. “She’ll decide on someone a lot quicker. She has a lot more self-esteem than I do, so she’s like, ‘You’re an idiot and I don’t want to talk to you,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m an idiot too!’ So I’ll talk to an idiot for like three days before deciding.”
The back and forth banter of this interview carries on from there. After the jump, checkout a few photos from Kristen and Rob’s Harper’s Bazaar photospread (the photos are pretty fantastic, I have to say) and read some more from their HB interview …
Who spends more time on their hair?
Kristen: “Rob.”
Rob: “I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can’t stand people — um, I’ll do anything to not have any touch-ups.”
Competitive?
Kristen: “Rob. In a very childish way, in every aspect of his life. He’ll literally start talking in a different voice if he’s won something. He sounds like a five-year-old.”
Rob: “I’d say it was even. She said me? Really? When I really win things, it’s just like…” [Kristen is correct: He makes a noise like a five-year-old.]
Athletic?
Kristen: “I’m definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run …”
Rob: “Kristen. You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I’m supposed to be the superhero.”
Egotistical?
Kristen: “I’d have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a fuck about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates.”
Rob: “It’s kind of a tie. We’re both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it’s ridiculous. Mine’s more erratic, but it can get to a point when it’s, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I’m like, Whoa, I’m so cool.”
Who Googles themselves more?
Kristen: “Rob.”
Rob: “She would say me, but I reckon it’s her. If either one of us catches the other one doing it, we’re like, Jesus Christ, is that what you’re looking at? And the other one’s on their phone pretending to text. I look up my competition more than she does. I’m incredibly shallow. I think she just looks at herself.”
Who’s the better musician?
Kristen: “Rob. He’s a great singer. Heartbreaking.”
The most outgoing?
Rob: “I was once, but not so much anymore. Kristen’s a little more open now.”
Better sport?
Kristen: “Who can hang? Definitely me. He’s very sensitive. He’s got a fragile ego.”
<em>Superstitious?
Kristen: “Rob. He’s a little bit more paranoid, so that feeds into superstition more.”
Rob: “I am. I believe a lot in karma and stuff. Like when I end up with egg on my face, I’m like, Fate! I was born doomed. But I think it’s more being an idiot than superstitious.”
Altho the photos have a bit of a Harlequin Romance feel to them, I think they’re very pretty … and a nice change of pace. It’s great seeing Kristen Stewart all glammed up in couture. I love her with the long hair. While we don’t get a lot of new information from this interview, I like the style of asking the pair of them to answer the same questions about one another … it’s a cute way to ask the same banal questions. I understand there are more of these romantic photos in this issue of Harper’s Bazaar mag, if you want to see and read more you’re gonna have to pick it up when the issue hits newsstands on November 17. What do y’all think of this magazine feature … do we like?

Hey Trent, the headline says Robin….LOL

The picture of them standing next to each other is my favorite. Kristen’s legs look so long! And I love her with the longer hair.
I wish they’d just come out and say they’re together already!
November 4th, 2009 at 8:41 am
@Kris10 — Er, whoops ;) Thanks, fixed :)
November 4th, 2009 at 8:48 am
The first picture on the bike clearly shows their chemistry for each other. Not very much of acting or faking there.
Lovely couple. I mean, how not to fall in love when they’re together most of the time?
November 4th, 2009 at 8:48 am
those photos are far superior to the one they chose for the cover.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:57 am
love the photos, both look really pretty
November 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am
The picture where Kirsten wore a high side slit dress reminds me of Morticia of the Addam’s family. Heh
November 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am
I don’t think either of those two long gowns work on her. She just looks awkward in them to me. The interview is cute though. I think it got her to open up more since it didn’t really involve talking about herself.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:36 am
She is a little awkward in most of these photos, but I love the last picture of them lying down. It’s beautiful.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:52 am
gosh, those photos are so beautiful.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Awww..The pic of them on the bike is really sweet..And I really like this interview..I like that they can own up to their egotistical sides..I’m not a Twilight fan, but I like these two crazy kids..It’s good they’re so close since they’re dealing with such crazy fan mania..I’m sure it’s nice to be able to just chill with someone going through the same craziness..
November 4th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Hate the whole Twilight Bullshit but LOVE this interview and photospread. So beautiful. especially the cover
November 4th, 2009 at 10:59 am
wowwww. i actually like her in these photos. she looks stunning. he looks smokin hot!! and i hate to admit it, but they have fantastic chemistry here. gorgeous.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:13 am
The fotos are stunning and the interview is surprisingly honest. Can’t wait for the issue to come out.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Stunning and Beautiful!!
Both great sports! Can’t wait for the movies!!
November 4th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I like the pictures….but when are these two going to admit that they are together. Rob is hot and Kristen is hot when she wants to be (but she is soo annoying) Please someone take the big debbie downer stick out of her ass already
November 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Wow…. they both look really good on the cover and the other photos! The interview is pretty cute too!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
so happy. :) great pics
November 4th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Rob didn’t really strike me as a shallow guy nor self-centered which is quite surprising, actually. I think I like Kristin a little bit more after this interview.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
I like this interview with them, at least they are being honest with their answers. I like most of the pictures, except for the second one on the (left) I think. She kinda looks like she is wrapped in a garbage bag.
Aside from that, I think both of them actually look good in this photo shoot. Kristen does look good with longer hair :)
November 4th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I love it. Last picture is very Twilightesque. Beautiful
November 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I like all of the photos except the cover one. Who seriously picked that? Did they not see her face on it? She looks beyond stupid. He looks good though. But I mean, couldn’t they have been like “Kristen, maybe tilt your head so you don’t look like a complete and utter cavewoman” ??
November 4th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
**BOOK SPOILER!**
These pictures make me think of what Bella and Edward will look like once she’s a vampire. Beautiful.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
The photos are amazing…I’m mainly astonished at seeing Kristen without her mouth hanging open. I didn’t think it was possible, but now there is photographic proof!
November 4th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I dont think they need to come out as a couple after this interview considering they are talking about each other in a more intimate/personal way that what you would of something that you mainly see on set.

I just find it funny how so many people (girls or the gays) go ape shizz over their relationship cause their jealous of her. I mean none of the Twilight fans have ANY sort of chance with him and they act all jealous as if they are his best friend who is meant to end up with him like a sloppy romance movie.

Good on ‘em i say. Even tho it seems so cliche that they have got together!
November 5th, 2009 at 4:09 am
Does anyone else think that Kristen kinda looks like Evan Rachel Wood?
November 5th, 2009 at 5:51 am
love it. even if they are not dating, its obvious that going through this has made them close friends, and getting a feel for their private world is what these interviews are supposed to be all about. fun!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:26 am
she looks like the mother in the adams family.which might not be a bad thing
November 5th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I just want to say that I want Kristen’s shoes here. LOVE THEM.
