Gossip Cop wanted to address the content of the paparazzi video from over the weekend that showed Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart returning to their hotel after having dinner out in Vancouver.

There’s been a lot of speculation today about whether Pattinson and Stewart were arguing with each other. We looked again at the video – which we did not post to the site itself last night, which we will not post, and for which we did not pay – and spoke to a number of sources close to the stars.

They told us they were NOT fighting. Rather, Pattinson and Stewart were greatly annoyed with the constant and intrusive paparazzi presence, and the fact that, because the hotel lobby was open, someone was able to invade their privacy when all they wanted to do was get in an elevator and put a suddenly very public evening behind them.Gossip Cop felt that many in the “Twilight” fan base would be upset with what’s become a suffocating paparazzi presence for Pattinson and Stewart, which is why we Tweeted out the video to our Twilight-heavy Twitter base. So that fans who have heard about their struggle with photographers could see with their own eyes what is going on. We wanted to be “eyewitnesses” to events, and we wanted to give fans the same opportunity, if they so desired. We specifically chose not to post the video to our actual site because we didn’t want to “get hits” from it. Instead, we just wanted to make sure that fans as fed up with the paparazzi as we are could see for themselves the cost of close-up, unwanted photographs to Pattinson’s privacy and Stewart’s.

So that’s where we stand. We’re outraged by paparazzi behavior. Please take a look at many of the videos of non-”Twilight” celebrities we’ve posted for weeks. The intent is to expose just how damaging and invasive the culture’s become.
