Would Robsten Help or Hurt New Moon?

People worried how Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would look if they started dating

Hypothetically speaking, of course, if Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were to start dating, do you all think it would make them both look shady?

We're told this seems to be the big concern stressing out the powers that be up in Vancouver, around the New Moon set, now that it seems pretty damn clear there's something smoldering between the two. Perhaps, enough to even warrant a meeting between R's and K's peeps.

See, our babe Stewart is supposedly still in a loving relaysh with Michael Angarano. So if that duo happened to break up and she coincidentally rebounded with a sexy costar, it could make her look slutty, and the man in waiting, sneaky, apparently (we don't think so).

That's why it would be much easier to just start phasing out the "current" boyfriend, something rumored to be in the works:

The media setups (Rob and Nikki, Jackson and Kristen) just aren't flying with you smart little Twi-Twits anymore, and people are most definitely taking notice.

Life & Style reports there's still drama with Nik and Robert, but we're told that stuff is still being pushed to the media to help slowly "out" Kristen and Rob.

Apparently Pattz and Stew are getting so fed up with being told what (and who) to do all the time that they are "refusing to play along anymore." How deelish!

"Rob has been seen coming back from the direction of Kristen's hotel at 1:30 a.m. and 3 a.m., respectively, on different nights," snitches our VBC eyes.

But chill, micromanaging studio types, maybe he's just coming back from a bar around the general area, right?

We really don't see what the big whoop would be if they were dating. Rob and Kristen are young and absolutely gorge—they don't need to be settled down right now. Mr. & Mrs. Smith hardly bombed at the box office; we doubt New Moon would either if it came out that the two were bumping uglies.

In fact, we'd put money down that it would help, if anything! People seem to be more obsessed with Edward and Bella rather than Rob and Kristen anyway. Fans would eat this crap up. Don't you all agree?
