Reps Never Confirmed Robsten to Oprah:

Rob & Kristen Confirm They’re Dating — to Oprah!” screams a headline that sent Twilight


fans into a frenzy this afternoon

According to an E! Online story, when the cameras weren’t rolling on Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning – for an episode to air May 13 – Oprah Winfrey asked Pattinson and Stewart backstage if they were really a couple.
The report claims they “confirmed to Oprah backstage they are in fact dating.”
Oprah supposedly informed Pattinson and Stewart that she had to “go there” and ask on-camera if they were or weren’t together, knowing they wouldn’t address it seriously in public. But privately, “she wanted to know what was really happening.”
Says a so-called “spy”: “Obviously Oprah had to ask something during the taping, but agreed beforehand she wouldn’t be too hard on [Rob and Kristen] if they told her what was really going on. Both Rob and Kristen’s people and Summit then confirmed ahead of time [Rob and Kristen] are together and are dating. One hundred percent.”
Whether Pattinson and Stewart are dating is really up to them to discuss
But one thing Gossip Cop knows for a fact – after spending a good part of the day working on this – is that NO reps ever confirmed to Oprah that the two stars “are together and are dating.”
That scenario never happened, and when asked whether Oprah got the scoop off-camera because she “simply had to know,” a rep for the talk show queen tells Gossip Cop “it’s not true.”
