It's too painful for them to be together, so Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have bailed on four remaining official Twilight conventions. The massive fan confabs are a major way for the stars to promote their Twilight films. Fans were hoping at least one of the two would turn up at the conventions, to be held in the next couple of months in San Antonio, Detroit, Parsippany, NJ, and Los Angeles, but they've both ditched, along with co-star Taylor Lautner, reports Zap2it. It's likely the stars will dodge other promotional events plugging Breaking Dawn Part II, the last film in the popular series.

Gallant Rob has kept mum about his heartbreaking ex, but he did have a few pointed words about the media's refusal to leave him alone to suffer in silence. "Media culture is a monstrous thing," Pattinson told the Los Angeles Times. "You can't win. The annoying thing is that you can't attack them, but you can't defend yourself. The best thing you could possibly do is punch a paparazzi and give them their big payday." (More Robert Pattinson stories.)
