Eclipse Producer Tricked Into Confirming Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson Romance

By this time, anyone associated with the Twilight saga knows that there's a party line to toe when it comes to questions concerning the much gossiped-about real-life relationship between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: you either deny its existence, or you clam up and refuse to talk about it. Perhaps producer Wyck Godfrey could use a refresher, because a wily Time interrogator was able to get him to speak about it -- at length! -- just by phrasing his question in a manner Godfrey wasn't used to:

Everyone is talking about whatever is going on between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Is that good for business?

Do you want the honest answer? I haven't even thought of it that way.

That's not the honest answer.

It really is. I honestly don't think of it in terms of business. It doesn't affect our core business at all. The thing I do think about is, Oh my God, I hope they stay together. Because it could be awkward on set in the next movie if they have a huge falling out. It's like, Wow, they have to portray this love story through two more movies. God, I hope they stay together; please stay together. That's what affects my day-to-day.

But you walk by newsstands and it's a publicist's dream: they are on every cover.

I don't feel it's out there anymore. Do people still report on it? If you look at people who have a stable personal life, the rags get tired of them. I think we're heading to that place where they are together and that's their life and we better find someone new to create drama out of.

"Do people still report on it?" Oh, that's cute. When Kristen Stewart's PR team buries Godfrey in a landfill for his insolence, at least there will be plenty of In Touch, People, and Us cover stories for him to catch up on.
