“Robert Pattinson: Splitting With Riley Keough Shows Respect For Kristen Stewart,” reads the latest headline from HollywoodLife, which is feebly attempting to dig itself out of a hole after MAKING UP a TOTALLY FABRICATED LIE about Pattinson dating Keough.

Gossip Cop has been saying since Day 1 that a relationship between the two stars NEVER HAPPENED, yet HollywoodLies willfully and shamelessly published BOGUS story after story, even claiming how “sad” Stewart was about the coupling.

In fact, we even predicted on July 3 that the webloid would do a 180 and eventually say Keough and Pattinson were not dating.

Of course, time (and reality) caught up with the unreliable blog, and HollywoodLife needed to retreat, and so its editor-in-chief Bonnie Fuller MANUFACTURED an entirely ludicrous post in which she praises Pattinson for breaking up with Keough.

REMINDER: Pattinson and Keough NEVER dated.

Facts be damned, the editor writes a long note to Pattinson himself – what?! — that “it probably never occurred to you that you might be crossing some invisible line that exists among women, and that dating Riley might be especially hurtful to [her pal and his ex, Stewart] versus you seeing someone who was completely out of your circle of friends.”

“After all, you were the injured party and thus all ‘normal’ rules wouldn’t apply,” continues the ridiculous post from Fuller, who offers, “I have to admit that I’m in that camp. After the public heartbreak you endured, you’re entitled to date any single woman, in my opinion.”

Then, having reiterated that “you [Pattinson] were entitled to date Riley, even though she had been [Stewart’s] friend,” HollywoodLies has the audacity to claim an “insider” exclusively told the site that the actor broke it off with Keough because “he doesn’t want the image of him being that he is stealing [Stewart’s] friend.”

Enough! Enough! Enough!

HollywoodLife CREATED A 100% FALSE REPORT, ostensibly just for hits, and now after being repeatedly and publicly humiliated by Gossip Cop’s accurate reporting, the site needed a way to weasel its way out of it.

It’s simply the worst kind of journalism.

HollywoodLife began its latest piece with how Pattinson “shows respect” for Stewart, but it’s time the blog show respect for real reporting — and its readers.

Robert Pattinson and Riley Keough NOT “Hooking Up,” Despite New Claim

Robert Pattinson has been “hanging out and hooking up” with longtime pal Riley Keough, whom he met through her mom, Lisa Marie Presley,” reads yet another head-scratching piece from Us Weekly.

The magazine’s site quotes a so-called “insider” as saying, “She’s the first girl he’s liked since Kristen [Stewart],” adding, Pattinson and Keough are “having a lot of fun.”

NO. THEY. ARE. NOT.

Repeating a total falsehood does NOT make something true.

Us Weekly, which generally has a good track record, is 100 percent WRONG here.

As Gossip Cop was first to report, Pattinson and Keough are NOT “hooking up,” nor are they even “hanging out.”

They’re not even in contact.

Regardless, Gossip Cop went back to an actual insider, who reassured us the claims about Pattinson and Keough are simply made up and “NOT true.”

LOTS of Pattinson Smoldering Photos!

Kristen Stewart Did NOT “Confront” Riley Keough Over Robert Pattinson

OK! magazine has embarrassed itself yet again.

Just days after claiming Robert Pattinson was “obsessed” with Kristen Stewart and supposedly couldn’t let her go, the tabloid is jumping — weeks late — onto the debunked and ridiculed rumor linking him to Riley Keough.

“Rob’s New Romance Heats Up!” declares OK! with the same misguided zeal that’s led to some of the worst reporting ever on the Twilight star.

The tabloid goes on and on with b.s. statements and quotes about the supposed Pattinson-Keough relationship.

“Rob and Riley are having a really great time together, even though it’s very early,” says one so-called “insider” for the magazine. “There is an attraction to each other. They just get each other.”

Again: They’re not dating.

Comically gullible outlets can say they’re dating.

But they’re not.

OK! drones on about how it’s more than “just a rebound romance” for Pattinson, speculating about their close connection and the hours they supposedly spend listening to music and watching movies at home.

“They do just the typical stuff that has pretty much started all his relationships,” says one OK! source. “They get into debates about politics, human rights, things that they had read in the papers that morning.”

No they don’t.

The OK! source made that up.

But what’s especially notable about this travesty of a “story” is a sidebar claiming, “Betrayed Kristen Confronts Riley.”

OK! alleges, “Kristen was none too happy to find out about her ex dating her pal, and she didn’t hesitate to show it!”

A “friend of Kristen” tells OK!, ”She called Riley.”

“She likes and respects her, but she just doesn’t feel like it is ever right to go after a good friend’s ex who is suddenly on the market,” explains the OK! source, noting that while the two actresses kept things civil, Stewart was “upset” and allegedly called the supposed Pattinson-Keough hookup “really uncool” during the phone exchange.

Uh-huh.

This never happened.

The OK! source made it up.

There was never any phone call, and there’s been no “confrontation,” because not only is there NO PATTINSON-KEOUGH ROMANCE, but Stewart and Keough are very close.

Someone who knows both actresses tells Gossip Cop that Stewart and Keough are really good friends, and that the continuing tabloid-fueled drama between them is “totally fake.”

That would be in keeping with countless OK! stories about Stewart and Pattinson over the years.

Enough’s enough.
