Not only has Robert Pattinson moved out of the Los Angeles home he shared with Kristen Stewart, but the “Twilight” actress has left the house as well.
“It’s all about being on neutral territory while she tries to win Rob back” said a Stewart intimate Saturday.
Other B.Z. sources confirm the very private couple — currently estranged due to Stewart’s fling with her married “Snow White and the Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders — are talking. Stewart reportedly is doing everything she can to convince Pattinson that her publicly admitted cheating will never happen again, and is begging him to give her a second chance.
THE LOWE DOWN: Actor Rob Lowe’s TV film about Drew Peterson was very much in the news during jury selection for Peterson’s trial, but the actor’s rep told me Lowe has totally “moved on” and is not at all focused on the case. These days, Lowe’s attention is on his regular role on “Parks and Recreation” and his upcoming Lifetime film about the Casey Anthony case — in which he plays the prosecuting attorney.
