I do hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. It is my favorite holiday! Now back to the Twilight world...........

Rumor: Kristen Stewart Pregnant with Rob's Baby
The original source is an Australian gossip magazine whose headlines aside from the Kristen story were: Jen [Aniston] Tears Over Brad, Britney Spears Getting Married, and Michael Jackson’s Death, Was It Murder. So, you judge the credibility. The inside story goes on to state that Kristen sent a friend out for a pregnancy test because she was afraid to go to the drug store and be spotted getting one. The said friend then went and blabbed to someone who told the Australia-based magazine.

Now let’s think about this a second. Kristen has pretty much grown up in the business and realizes how rumors start, and knows that media eyes are on her. She’d risk sending “a friend” to get the test, especially one who can’t keep his/her mouth shut? Two words: mail order!

Now it gets better. We thought we had seen just about everything on this latest rumor and then it jumped the proverbial shark. Another gossip website states that Kristen responded to the rumor via her Twitter, yet they don’t cite what Twitter account that was, yet they quote it. Now putting aside the fact that Kristen doesn’t have a Twitter, let’s think about this. In a series of Tweets Kristen supposedly says that her publicist could have made up the rumor. In our opinion, when you have a career as big and hot right now as Kristen Stewart’s, no publicist (if they value their job and reputation) starts a pregnancy rumor. It’s not like Kristen isn’t getting a ton of PR via Runaways and New Moon. She would need a pregnancy rumor to attract additional attention because why exactly?

Next, Ted Casablanca, the one of the kings of Hollywood gossip is calling people out and saying BS. Now, when your rumor is at the point when a guy who makes his livelihood trading in rumor is pretty much going, “yeah right” instead of playing along (he also called BS on the “cab attacks Rob” and with logical back up)…you decide.

Thanks to Twilight Lexicon for this news. All I can say is let's hope it is not true.

Twilight Saga News
According to the Deadbolt, Showtime has gotten the rights to broadcast the Twilight Saga films. The report goes on to say that the deal will allow them the exclusive opportunity to air the films upon their release to cable TV. Read more below:

Amid the Twilight Saga craze, Showtime has landed the rights to broadcast the Twilight Saga, With all New Moon corners of the media market capitalizing on the popularity of the Twilight Saga, it was announced that Showtime has signed an exclusive Twilight deal with Summit Entertainment that gives Showtime the rights to air all Twilight films in the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga upon the release of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking dawn to cable television. With cable television curry enjoying a new moon in popularity and far from any twilight of what TV fans can expect, the release of critically acclaimed cable TV movies and series have overshadowed mainstream networks.

The new Twilight Saga - Showtime deal is a bold move for Showtime after executives chose to not continue relationships with Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM. Prior to the new Twilight deal, it appears the new moon direction of Showtime was made after excessive over broadcast fees by studios became too much. Showtime will now have access to 42 Summit Entertainment films, which include the four instalments of the Twilight Saga that star Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and supporting actors Peter Facinelli, Ashley Green, and Nikki Reed.

The Twilight Saga is a lucrative acquisition for Showtime given the popularity of the Stephenie Meter penned Twilight novels and the first two Twilight Saga films, Twilight and New Moon. Showtime has steadily become a popular cable network in the years prior to Twilight and New Moon, with such shows as Queer as Folk, Weeds, The L Word, and the new hit Nurse Jackie, which includes Twilight Saga cast member, Peter Facinelli.
