Jackson Rathbone Mum About Rob and Kristen

MTV.com BOSTON — When we got the chance to talk to "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone on the set of his new movie "Girlfriend," we couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask someone deeply involved the biggest question surrounding the franchise: What is the deal with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson?

After a brief pause Rathbone carefully replied, "What's the deal with them? Oh, they're not actually vampires."

Despite our faux disbelief that Pattinson wasn't actually Edward Cullen, Rathbone insisted, "No, he's actually a really nice human. It's crazy, I know. I know. But yeah, the guy's a great guy."
"Everybody always asks me those questions about that, and it's one of those things — it's none of my business. I stay out of it," Rathbone said.

"Whenever we're passing through the tabloid articles, we're always like, 'Hey! There's our friends!' " Jackson said with a laugh. "I've been able to stay out of them as much as possible."
This is just too cute. We will be hearing these kind of dodges and smart-arse answers from all the Twicast, should some press still dare to ask that Rob and Kristen question. You know what I think? I think it's sweet that these guys are "protecting" the RobSten.
