Kristen Stewart was outed this week for cheating on her long-time boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. The 22-year-old actress was reportedly caught by paparazzi cameras on July 17 in a compromising position with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, 41, who’s been married for 7 years to model/actress Liberty Ross. The photos, which were published in Us magazine, are already online and in a surprising move, Stewart immediately came forward to admit her indiscretion, issuing a public apology, as has Sanders.
What amazes me about this situation is that the scenario played out like an episode of Courteney Cox’s former gossip drama Dirt, including a bidding war for the photos among several major magazines (Us Magazine got the scoop).
