How much tension was there on the set of Twilight for Robert Pattinson? Most reports have the handsome young star involved with sexual tension on the set with is co-star Kristen Stewart. That has been rejected by Kristen and now reports have Rob the object of many of young Hollywood's adorable young stars, including Natalie Portman.

So what about that tension? Us Weekly magazine has a short item and this claim. "Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 22, and director Catherine Hardwicke, 53, really bared their fangs shooting last year’s blockbuster!"

"Catherine had an idea about how Robert should play his character, and Robert did not agree,” an on-set source tells the Hot Stuff section of the weekly entertainment magazine. "They would argue all the time." In fact, says the source, “I think it might be a big reason Catherine is not coming back for the second film.”

FYI, Director Chris Weitz, who shot The Golden Compass, will helm the sequel, New Moon. Us reports that denails are in and cites a Summit Entertainment spokesperson that says, “There is absolutely no truth to any of this."
