The Robert Pattinson Diaries — The Non Kiss with Kristen Stewart at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards

“Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!” Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds announced giddily.
Before we could stand to receive the award for Best Kiss during the MTV Movie Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre on 31 May 2009, Kristen whispered fervently in my ear, “I’m not gonna kiss you.”
There was barely any time to question her since the 2009 MTV Movie Awards show was a live one, and, it was imperative that we go onstage immediately.
As we made the short walk to the stage, I turned my head towards her repeatedly in the hope that she would clarify her declaration, but none seemed to be forthcoming.
I didn’t understand what she meant with her statement, just like the time we were shooting the meadow scene, when she surprised me with an improvised question that left me befuddled, and, eventually led to the astonishing biting and sucking of fingers take, which, to my embarrassment, got included in the deleted scenes in the Twilight DVD.
After the customary hugs and handshakes with the presenters, The Proposal stars, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, retreated to the side so that Kristen and I were the only ones left behind the podium. Searching her eyes, I still couldn’t discern any clues.
During the flight from Italy to LA, Kristen and I had spoken in hushed tones regarding what we were going to do, since, modesty aside, there was a very high probability that we were going to win the Best Kiss award.
With no new direction coming from Kristen, I proceeded with what we had basically agreed on during the trip — a kiss that would mimic the Twilight kiss in the bedroom scene, but, titillate the audience with some added “hotter” action since the original one was interrupted.
So, I made a big show of taking out a piece of paper from my inside coat pocket, and then tantalized the audience with a hint, “I need to remove my gum.”
I put the remains of my chewed out mint and wrapped it neatly in the square piece.
I knew that it was a tradition for the pair who has won the Best Kiss Award to actually share a lip lock. Of course, Kristen and I were not going to even try and outdo the outlandish Notebook acceptance kiss of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, but, I hoped we could give a decent demonstration of a kiss.

I was very nervous with the millions of eyes scrutinizing our every movement, so, I sought to wipe them out by rubbing my eyes furiously then running my hands thoroughly through my unruly hair.
Afterward, I immediately closed my eyes so I didn’t have to look at anybody. I wanted to shut everybody out and focus completely on Kristen.
And, just like in the bedroom scene reshoot, I let her take control of the situation by simply waiting for her.

I could hear the rustling of her clothes as she stepped nearer to me. The heat of her body caressed my length, and I strained to be closer to her. The wait was maddening.

Even with my eyes closed, the scent of her hair and skin tantalized me with its allure, the creamy softness of her flesh beckoned me with its siren call, and her breath caressed and begged for my lips to envelop hers.

I lowered my head expectantly, eager for our lips to be joined and the familiar heat to erupt between us whenever we kissed. I opened my mouth to inhale the curling plumes of air that escaped her throat, desirous of the mating of our melding tongues and lips.

And then I heard a strange hissing sound, and the seductive vortex of air that we had been ravenously sharing was abruptly lost. I opened my eyes with the sudden realization that Kristen had completely turned her head away from me!

I was literally left with my mouth hanging open like a fish out of water. I looked like the classic prat who got ditched by the girl! I couldn’t even close my mouth for I unexpectedly needed air to choke down into my painfully needy lungs.
As I stood there like a simpleton, Kristen declared into the mike in a faux exultant tone, “Thank you so much!”
I tried to muster the laughter required for what has just occurred, but, it was beyond me, for I felt that I had just been kicked in the bollocks, punched in the gut and my innards twisted and wrenched out of my hapless body.
I stood there wishing the ground would swallow me up, that the MTV stage would crack wide open to reveal the depths of hell and let me drown in a fiery mass of limbs until no trace could be found of my very existence.

A minute nugget of my clear-headed mind understood her reasons for doing what she did, but, my heart cannot accept such rational explanations at this time. It simply wrung in pain, and I wished in an impassioned manner that I was impervious to the pain.
I stood there unmoving like a statue, a frozen mass of a fiery pillar that longed to go ballistic and explode with fury.
At Kristen’s urging, “Sweetie… Come on!” I forced my rooted limbs to move.
I vented a tiny fraction of my frustration by slamming my palm on the podium as I picked up the piece of paper with my gum in it before following her backstage.

It was decidedly mortifying to be the recipient of such an improvisation. Moreover, I reflected resentfully that my rejection was witnessed by millions of viewers, millions that gazed upon my utter humiliation, millions who will repeatedly view this wretched infamy.
It was unbearable. I wanted to gouge out my own orbs to become totally blind to the expressions of people when they stared at me.
Like of old, I wanted to crawl into the warm comfort of the bed of my dog Patty, her familiar scent soothing the agitated frenzy that was devouring my insides into an acidic boil.
I may not have been able to fully rally, but, I strove to compose my face into a semblance of calm indifference as we neared the press room.
I viciously silenced the stinging words that were pricking my throat until it was an agonized swollen column of poisoned nerves and muscles, yet, I still didn’t trust myself to speak, so I merely gestured courteously for Kristen to precede me into the room where every question and request for a picture will sting like a viper’s bite.

By the end of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards when Twilight had won for Best Movie, I was grimly determined that no one shall see the boiling fuming cauldron of my pain, humiliation and resentment.
As the whole Twilight cast gathered for an Entertainment Tonight exclusive, at the question posed by the reporter regarding the hottest non-kiss, I gave credit where credit was due, “It was Kristen’s idea. My ideas for it were so terrible they all got rejected. I’m so happy she told me two minutes before it happened.”
As to whether the Twilight cast was going to share the popcorn awards, Peter jokingly said that he would like to keep the Best Kiss award for a week.
I secretly scoffed, because, if he wanted, I will willingly shove the blasted thing into his hands, tell him he was welcome to it and to make certain it stays with him forever.

I was still totally miffed. Couldn’t she have given me a bloody kiss? I am off to New York after all the very next day to work on Remember Me. Couldn’t she have looked at it as a goodbye present? These lips were not going to be at her beck and call.
I wanted to chuck the popcorn awards, most especially the Best Kiss trophy. If I could, I would throw the damn thing in the next bin that I see, but, I knew I couldn’t do that. After that debacle of finding a New Moon script in the trash container, a lecture from Summit was the last thing I needed.
With the certainty that that was an impossibility, I concocted another plan. I’ll do the next best thing. I’m going to dump them in my agent Stephanie’s lap and request her to send the bloody f-cking popcorn awards to my mum in London. Since I haven’t been home for the past six months, and, will unlikely be visiting any time soon, the bloody objects could be out of sight, and, hopefully, this miserable incident could be out of mind as well.
I glared balefully at the golden vexations. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say!

Where Are the Giggles and Laughter I think we are all familiar with Rob’s self-deprecating humor, and, he will be the first one to poke fun at himself, therefore, the lack of joyful mirth hints at something amiss.

Nice. I think it was totally planed out and that they were improvised on the plan of wanting to but then breaking…..it was great. That moment of calm they had together in the middle of all those crazies was a wow. Then she smiled and turned and said Thank You. I know he got a kick out it once he understood what was going down because Kristen was in control of this one. I don’t think it could have been better.

Lorna do you think Kristen did that on purpose? Do you think Rob wanted to do it and Kristen bailed? I get that feeling. I feel bad for Robert, yeah being rejected is terrible. Kristen seems to be unpredictable. Sometimes she’s flirty with him, sometimes she’s aloof, what the heck? If I’m Rob that would just drive me nuts. Poor Rob
. I wonder if he misses when his life was much more simple?
Who wouldn’t want to kiss this beautiful man? Gosh darn it, we all voted for them to win it and I wish they kissed, didn’t have to be the full-blown thing ya know?
BTW, I think Rob’s shirt was misaligned again! Look at the picture in the middle w. Kristen. Is it misaligned or maybe I’m seeing things!
June 3rd, 2009 at 11:47 am
I prefer to think it was planned.If not then I believed they have ironed it out and all is well between them judging form the pics of them taken by pazz an first shown by X17.If it was not planned, then maybe it was a last minute idea(not to go through with the kiss) of Kstew which by the was was great.However,it would have been very embarrassing to Rob IF it were not planned.
But then again,people do some stupid things without realizing its impact on others specially when on stage and in front of thousands of people.KStew might have thought it was cute which it really was but she might not have realized the embarrassing situation she have put Rob into.—unless it was planned.
When Rob said Kstew told him about it 2 minutes before it happened, I think she indeed let him in on the plan because they were sitting close next to each other before they were announced as winners.(This is just my take of what could have possibly happened)Rob’s face did not show any hint of humiliation.I don’t also hear any trace any trace of sarcasm when Rob said it was Kristen’s idea.
IF,IF it were not planned,I believe Rob would not have been able to hide the embarrassment/humiliation he might have felt.Yeah,he’s an actor but even a good actor could not have hide the pain that comes with humiliation plus let’s consider his being a man and the EGO that’s attached with it, the pain or a hint of it would have been there-written all over his face and could be heard in the inflection of his voice if it were not planned.
And based on lived interviews they did after the event,It seems to me that Rob knew of what was going to happen so there-that’s my take of the situation.

I agree with you Isabel. at times k can be flirty and others she’s almost cold to him but here’s what i think that drives this. I think privately or naturally she is and wants to be “close” to r but in public i think she is very careful to not say or do anything that feeds the robsten rumors-why?
the comments about each other, the looks, their chemistry) i mean lets face it, this time around they both have been very careful about what they say and do, especially k.
like her comment in the above interview. “i’m not kissing you. that was my idea” her body language was even cold- arms crossed in her approach to him, the look like, “no can’t do it”
check out this video Rob hugs k’s mom-so sweet!

but what does it mean?
June 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Guys..I couldn’t hear..she said come on sweety.. I’ve been watching for 10 times..lol
June 3rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Don’t know if he was upset or not. I don’t think either one of them want to give up anything in the public eye. Don’t think it matters much since it sure seems like the mounting evidence points to them being a devoted couple anyway.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Ck out link http://www.x17video.com/index.php?page=4. Some say Rob says “I love you” to KS thru window of her Mini Coop. Then older gent (KS Grandpa?) says Bye Kristen. Turn up the volume and see if you hear it too.
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
This site is awesome.
And Kristen really says, “Sweetie…Come on.” Oh and by the way, I’m from the philippines too. Hi.
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Hey Kelsey! As I teased Chi, ‘What big ears you have…’
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Twioldie are you talking about right at the 44-45 second mark? lol b/c that’s where I keep hearing something along the lines of “I love you”

Hi Lorna, hey everybody…
1. ROTFL.
I was almost expecting Punk’d crew will show up out of nowhere. I mean it’s like one of the most well-executed praknster scenario ever…
‘Audience! You’ve just got Punk’D!’
They both should really join Punk’d crew. LOL.
2. So, I think it IS planned (very well planned, too). VERY WELL acting, too. If they can act this well in their real life, who knows what else about them that they can camouflage?
3. Lorna, I can’t read KS lips for the ’sweetie’ but ‘come on’, that I can.
Keep it up!
PS: Diary for the parking lot scene with KS mom and grandpa?
June 4th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
god rob (in the diary) was a crying baby ..lol
anyway, understood how he felt but anyway, i doubt it’s his real feeling … kristen is a very private person …she doesn’t want a real kiss between them to be on screen..
you know he’s going to punish her later on that night ..lol.
June 5th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Kristen did plan it out, if you take a look at the second video, with the twilight cast, robert states that he was glad the kristen told him two minutes before it actually happened…
P.S. she didn’t want to kiss him because rumors would begin just as the old one were settling
June 8th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Omg how can anyone think this was planned I feel so bad for rob an when I texted him he was so sad god people he was rejected in person with billions of people watchin!!!

Hi Lorna, hi everybody…
With all the stats on overall MTV MA viewers, the ever increasing of Twilighters population to vote in future MTV MAs, there are some things I have in mind.
About three things I was pretty absolutely positive;
1. First, New Moon has secured it’s position in MTV MA 2010 Best Kiss Nominees
for it’s ‘Jump and Kiss Reunion Scene’–thus, Rob and Kris may have to reenact that
scene on-stage. Better yet, Rob has to do the acceptance speech alone when suddenly
Kris run across the stage out of nowhere and jump to him to complete the scene.
Kiss/Non-kiss? Hm…
2. Second, Eclipse might be the first film that has got TWO nominees in MTV MA 2011 Best Kiss line-up.
One, for ‘Bella & Jacob Outside Tent Kiss’ and second, for ‘Bella & Edward in His Bedroom Kiss’.
Whichever wins, better be creative.
Btw, this is not a kiss, simply funtime manip xp:

3. Third, MTV MA 2012 Best Kiss golden popcorn is soo…gonna go to one of Breaking Dawn’s kisses.
I’m hoping to see the ‘In the Warm Water Beneath The Moonlight Kiss’.
See ya in other posts’ comments, guys!
Keep it up Lorna!
June 8th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
I’m sorry I forgot something.
After I watched the rather high quality vid of their Best Kiss acceptance, (call me delirious and shoot me in the head) but I kinda hear:
“Sweetheart… come on.”
instead of;
“Swetiee… come on.”
Well, at least we agree on the ’sweet’ part. XD
July 4th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
there really was a sweetie come on. i blasted my speaker like 10 times already and i almost faint about, i donnu, 10 TIMES. Hah. Go ROBSTEN.
July 4th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
by not kissing of kristen with rob is the sign of admitting to the public that they do really have a relationship, but she dont kiss him because of some reason.
July 10th, 2009 at 1:34 am
I agree with Rob a hundred percent. If I was in his place I would have done the same thing. If they planned this kiss why did Kristen say I’m not doing it at the last moment? How – of her! And how would she expect Rob to understand that in 2 minutes time? Couldn’t she have thought about this earlier? And instead of humiliating Rob when he leaned down to kiss her why didn’t she kiss him back? She just turned to the mic and said thank you?!
Coward.
Selfish.
Not-sticking-to-what-you-say Person!
Admitting what Kris said to the interviewer was a brilliant idea.
But giving the script back not so much.
Rob should just forget about her in my opinion because she’s doing no good to him but humiliating him in public most of the times and depressing him
July 28th, 2009 at 4:33 am
Wow, I must admit to being very curious who actually wrote that. You’ve got quite an imagination.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:22 am
I hope they win this award again in 2010 for New Moon…. And actually KISS this time!! :- )
October 28th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Lorna, what do you think Rob would say to this picture of Kris? Maybe you can turn it into a diary….
