Why are Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner spending SO MUCH time together while Robert Pattinson is away?

Why are Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner spending SO MUCH time together while Robert Pattinson is away?

We never really saw Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart hanging around together while they were playing Jacob and Bella in Twilight, but now the vampire films have come to an end, they're suddenly new BFFs.

Maybe Taylor's under strict instructions from Robert Pattinson to keep his girlfriend company while he films his new movie on the other side of the world in Australia? Maybe they've suddenly decided they miss each other? Maybe they're having a secret affair? (probably not that last one actually).

This looks like they're holding hands. They're not.

The actress formerly known as Bella and 'that topless wolf one' went on the most American day out we've ever seen - to the baseball batting cages! To be honest, if our mate suggested an afternoon at the cricket nets, we'd ask if they'd heard of these great places called 'the pub', but Taylor's a clean-cut, healthy-looking type, so we wouldn't expect him to get drunk with us.           

It's Kristen and Taylor's second friend-date in two weeks - the first time they went out, they drove to a gig in matching hats . And once you start dressing alike, you know you're spending too much time together.

Kristen is just so full of joy, she can barely contain herself

We're sure it's a total coincidence that both their trips out have been within the same week that Breaking Dawn: Part Two was released on DVD.

If you're still upset the Twilight Saga has come to an end, remember that there's a helpline you can call . Or just look at these pictures and pretend that this is Breaking Dawn: part three, when Bella and Jacob have a pleasant afternoon out together. Hey, at least poor Kristen has recovered from the injury that left her on crutches for the Oscars.

This has so much potential to go wrong, poor Taylor

This week, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer said she felt "bad" that her books made R-Pattz and K-Stew so famous. "'I just don't think they enjoy the parts [of fame] that other people would. And I totally get that, because it would not be my thing either," she told The Times magazine this weekend. "At the same time - and this is where the guilt comes from - it's created this nice, peaceful place for me. They took all of my heat, which I feel bad about."

She added: "If they had the choice, I've no idea if they'd even do Twilight again. I just don't know. I think this has all come at a heavy price." Yeah, but Kristen gets to hang around with the hot wolf one! Which means it's all probably been worth it.
