Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have denied tabloid reports that they are embroiled in an off-screen romance. Pattinson - who became an overnight heartthrob after starring in last year's movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance novel has told Vanity Fair that he and Stewart are not an item.
"It doesn't make any difference what you say [to the tabloids]," Pattinson said. "I've literally been across the country [from Kristen], and it's like 'Oh, they were on secret dates!' It's like 'Where?' I can't get out of my hotel room!" Stewart, meanwhile, offered a withering dismissal of the reports.
"It's so retarded," she told the magazine. Twilight was one of the biggest hits of 2008, grossing nearly $US400 million ($445 million) worldwide. The next film in the franchise, New Moon, is due for release on November 20.
