Robert Pattinson seems as friendly as can be during an interview with radio host Ryan Seacrest until the star is asked to comment whether he was dating Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

He still remained jovial when getting up to leave, but had nothing more to say than: "Watch New Moon, its amazing!"

Rubin tells the actor that some people will welcome him back on the screen after a long break, while others might prefer that he "never come back." The exchange went this way: "Why?" Gibson asks. "Because of what happened before," Rubin answers. "What happened before?" Gibson says, "I gather you have a dog in this fight?" Rubin: "Pardon me?" Gibson: "You have a dog in this fight? Or are you being impartial?" Rubin: (stutters) "Ttrying to be impartial."

She was later convinced to return to the interview to discuss her ideas about her own reinvention.
