CLAIM: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart “Spotted Holding Hands” in L.A.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Spotted Holding Hands,” reads yet another off-base headline from HollywoodLife.
According to the clueless blog, the pair ”were spotted by a fan holding hands in Los Angeles’ Echo Park on June 13, and they looked ‘very together.’”
So, does HollywoodLife have a photo to back up its claim, or some other sort of irrefutable evidence?
Hardly.
The webloid’s “proof” of an alleged Pattinson-Stewart sighting is a random Twitter user claiming to have seen the former co-stars together.
Seriously.
HollywoodLife then embarrassingly attempts to back up its “reporting” by citing an E! Online article, which alleged Pattison and Stewart “seemed to be in good spirits” during their supposed hangout.
That story was also based on the same Twitter user’s unverified tale — and was pulled almost immediately.
But HollywoodLife rarely lets facts — there was NO “spotting” — stand in the way of a juicy headline.
“So are Rob and Kristen back together? It sure seems so!” exclaims the site in its piece.
In actuality, the only thing that “sure seems so” is that HollywoodLies, er, HollywoodLife, is still better at fiction writing than actual journalism.
