We ask and Gossip Cop responds! Yesterday I twittered an article to Gossip Cop that sounded ridiculous, in my opinion. The article stated that Rob Pattinson had turned down hosting duties of Saturday Night Live because he didn’t want to share the spotlight with his costars. So they looked into it and here is the real scoop.

Fox411 gets a zero for this one.

According to the blog, “Despite his staggering success as the certified break out star of the ‘Twilight’ film franchise, actor Robert Pattinson is still threatened by his co-stars.”

Really?!

The site claims, “sources tell Fox411 exclusively that Pattinson is not a fan of sharing the spotlight and that he even refused to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ along with his ‘New Moon’ costars Taylor Lautner and Kellan Lutz.”

Either Fox411 made up this info or they have a really bad source, because they have someone say, “Rob is threatened by Kellan and Taylor,” and “When SNL approached him to host he was excited – until he found out he would be hosting with Kellan and Taylor… He doesn’t want to share the stage with them on ‘SNL’ because he doesn’t think they are serious actors like him and doesn’t believe they are on the same level.”

Well, not feeling others are on the same level unfortunately is how we feel right now dealing with this Fox411 item.

But we’ll stoop.

First, this entire story is nonsense. That said, back in September Gossip Cop – who has real sources – found out that Pattinson was offered an SNL hosting gig (by himself), but there were scheduling conflicts.

Today, Gossip Cop spoke to an understandably bewildered rep at SNL, who assured us that the proposed triple booking scenario is absolutely 100 percent “not true.”

Thanks to Gossip Cop for, once again, keeping it real, and getting to the bottom of ridiculous Twilight-related rumors (among others…).
