And the "Robsten" speculation heats up even more.

Catherine Hardwicke isn't just the director who ushered Twilight into movie theaters in 2008: she's the woman who helped introduce Robert Pattinson to the world -- and to Kristen Stewart.

See Rob's big-screen twin!

In a interview with Time magazine posted online Thursday, Hardwicke tells of a stern warning she gave to her new heartthrob star. "After I cast him, I told Rob, don't even think about having a romance with her . . . She's under 18. You will be arrested." (Today, Stewart is a legal 19 while Pattinson is 23.)

Hardwicke can't confirm whether the pair hooked up while making Twilight, but had close conversations with Stewart about the situation.

Rob and Kristen aren't the only ones hooking up: see the Love Lives of New Moon slideshow

"In terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn't happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film," she explains.

But the director then adds a tantalizing thought: "I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, O.K., I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person."

Which stars are Team Edward? Who's on Team Jacob? See the slideshow

At London's New Moon premiere Wednesday, Stewart admitted she empathizes with fans who get so emotional around her costar. ""Rob has that magnetism," she said. "it's easy to understand why they're all crazy about him." The pair were photographed holding hands in Paris on Tuesday.

    I love them together:) they are so cute

    I think they've been dating since fall of 09. They look comfortable and lovely together. But they're so young (23/19). There might be offs and ons in the future. People grow apart. Brad Pitt only met Angie Jolie after he reached 40. It's sad to see that happening but that's life.

    Its not fair for the media to try to find out their relationship!That sort of thing is really private and if they dont want to reveal it they shouldn't bother them!They are so busybody!!!!

    I believe it's their personal life and they don't have to share it if they dont want to. Even though they're celebrities, they still should have the option to keep somethings private.

  • November 17, 2009 - 1:28am Oh my word

    Oh please, this is such a scam. Deborah's got it right, this isn't going to last. Shia Lebouf and what's her face Fox did the same exact thing for the release for The Transformers 2 movie, but did that last? Of course not, he "found" someone else and she "reconciled" with her ex-fiance. I can hear the tweens screaming now...god help us all.

    they have to act lovey, they're about to release their second film and all the teens and tweens would love to know they're really in love. Age old PR trick. you'll see, after the hype dies down, they "break up" and then miraculously reconcile before Eclipse comes out. she's 19 for goodness sake, she's not going to stick it out with him (suffering musician) and his adoring fans for the next 3yrs of filming.

    befor some1 understand me wrong i would say i never would posting if in this few month i didnt realise Rob and Kris mock they fans with lies and facts.And not just lies.All interviews with them is the same words.You can watch each otherone by one,they just learn some homeworks and in every video and press conference its the same.And sure ,nothing truth there you gona figured out.As kris ,her 2 faces is the worst in all this story.Im so disgusted.I was a big big fan of them.And im so disappointed... If they are toghether,im glad,but why they have to lie in this way?Sure they are both an entertainment toy,so they act like that.

  • November 15, 2009 - 7:35pm roky

    so,i am disappointed becose some gossip just delete people opinion.Just becose they say the fact what is so evident.You can be blinded they magic Bella Edward roles if you give this 2 credibility in future. myine is they lied all around the world they are just friends bla bla bla. In all this movie promotion actualy what is promoting is they own selfs and they big lies.They f..t up.Kris loses her all credibility,as Rob,he becomed a hollywood joke. No one can save them after all this lies in this few days. Btw,they are togher sience twilight started,Angarano ,Kris ex-boyfriend ,poor guy, was just a toy.Kris cheated everyone,friends,fans,and now she mocks everyone.How miserable can you be to doing something like this.Its so inapropriet and disrespectful. As a Twifan,im loking for someone new,at least honest ,not cheaters and liers.

    Rob Pattinson has very recently denied any relationship with Kristen Stewart.

  • November 14, 2009 - 3:02pm Cindi

    where can we find the age of the oldest fan, by years, like a 60 yr old... of this fantasy, romantic and loving series Twilight saga??

  • November 14, 2009 - 9:00am Felie

    Please, give their budding relationships a chance, hope this will last, for they are complement each other, and besides they have the same interest, music,serious acting etc

  • November 14, 2009 - 12:13am Jennifer8

    um..im thinkin its all a publicity thing anyway, and the girl is crazy to even act like she doesnt want Rob. Stop denying it. fess up already. if I was in her shoes I would be like. HELL YEAH! IM WITH THIS GUY!!

  • November 13, 2009 - 11:06pm Lakey

    Yeah,Catherine if Kristen was jail bait then, didn't she hook-up w/ Michael Angarano underage??????????

  • November 13, 2009 - 2:15pm noclass

    Did anybody see Kristen picture when she was in spain. The picture where she was showing off her underwear? Lets talk about no class. she keeps saying she wants to left alone and not be famous and then she goes and does something like that.

  • November 13, 2009 - 1:24pm anony

    Never seen so much publicity for a couple of mediocre actors.

  • November 13, 2009 - 12:37pm dimples

    Oh grow up everybody! You people that think that kristen and rob are not dating need to get a life. You guys hope they are not dating because you hope you have a chance to be with rob when you stand know chance in hell!

  • November 13, 2009 - 10:39am CAS

    Oh for chrissake. You people are still denying that Rob and Kristen are a couple but they don't want to talk about it. CH is a b*tch for putting it out there. Rob and Kristen aren't doing this for publicity.

    Catherine Hardwicke is ancient history as far as knowing what these two are up to. Nothing you see from them in public is "sincere" as they are totally aware that everything they do will appear in the media. That said, I do not see this as a PR stunt, more like kids having fun with a wonderful toy, the Internet.

    my brother grabbed my hand to drag me to our seats at a football game (we were late) & at an aiport one of my friends grabbed my hand & ran so we won't miss our flight. does that mean that we are in love? GROSS!
