What cheating scandal?

Judging from his jam-packed schedule, Robert Pattinson isn't letting Kristen Stewart's jaw-dropping infidelities trample his plans as he charges full speed ahead to promote his new flick Cosmopolis.

Indeed, within the last two days, the dashing Brit has stepped out for the film's NYC premiere, had breakup ice cream with Jon Stewart and rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.

But that doesn't mean the rabid media scrunity in the wake of K.Stew's affair isn't gnawing away him.

In an interview with Showbiz Tonight, the 26-year-old opened up about the surreal nature of his life post-Twilight—and post-scandal.

"Since the first Twilight you enter this kind of realm where you get stuff reported about you and it's weird," Pattinson said when asked about the intense attention he's recently received.

"You start having a total disassociation," he added, laughing.

He also addressed the media's coverage of him, saying, "I don't talk about that. Loads of people just make it up anyway—it doesn't make any difference."

One thing he did clear up? Breathless speculation that he's been drowning his woes in booze and wallowing away in misery.

"Are you OK?" he's asked.

"Yeah" is his bemused, smiling reply.

We have no doubt.
