With many fans hoping to see the day when actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart take their onscreen romance into the real life, it’s no wonder that so many rumors of a romance between the two surface on a regular basis. However, no matter their frequency or what the public wants, it is not going to happen and such reports are downright “ridiculous,” Robert himself tells Entertainment Tonight.

The dreamy actor sat down with ET for what is labeled the first major interview on “New Moon,” the upcoming “Twilight” sequel, and, inevitably, the subject of a real-life affair did come up. The reports are simply not true, Pattinson says, while admitting that he understands why they surface, that is, because of the desire of the media and the public for the romance to be true.

“It becomes a joke. There was some magazine the other day about me and Kristen and when you look at it and realize it’s on the front of a magazine... You realize that people are actually reading that even though how ridiculous it is. It’s really bizarre.” the British star says. In the same interview, Pattinson also admits to being a “paranoid wreck” and fearing that his popularity and appeal with the media will eventually affect all his relationships, especially with people who are not famous.

As noted yesterday, Ted Casablanca from E! Online announced that several eyewitnesses had spotted the celebrity couple at a supermarket in Vancouver, holding hands and acting very lover-like. Even more, it was said, when Pattinson noticed that people had recognized him as the gorgeous Edward in “Twilight,” he let go of Kristen’s hand and stopped being so friendly. Photos of the outing of the so-called couple were not provided with the story.

“Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, getting PG frisky up in Vancouver. That’s what any girl does who supposedly still has a boyfriend, right? The costars were grocery shopping over the weekend when a fellow shopper noticed the duo ‘holding hands’ as they walked around inside.” Casablanca wrote.
