Considering Kristen Stewart rarely – if ever – talks about her private life, it’s kind of amazing how much continuous speculation there is about her. Truly, we don’t really know if she and Robert Pattinson are hooking up, dating, just hanging out, or even if they can stand each other. We don’t if Kristen considers herself single, or if and when she ended her boyfriend of several years, Michael Angarano. So all of this is just speculation. But it’s fun!

Here’s what I think is happening – Kristen Stewart is hardcore, and she loves the game. I think her favorite thing in the world is to have guys beg for it, and I think she enjoys being the one who is adored, rather than the one doing the adoring. I think that very shortly after Pattz finished filming with Emilie de Ravin, Kristen made sure that Pattz was at her door, begging. And thus, it began. In my mind, at least. But what about Kristen’s boyfriend Michael? He got pushed to the side – and that’s where’s he’s staying for the time being. According to the Enquirer, Michael is waiting patiently for Kristen to dump Sparkles! This poor kid:

Kristen Stewart’s old boyfriend Michael Angarano is desperately hoping to pry her loose from Robert Pattinson. Michael is trying to stay close to Kristen so that if she ditched Rob, he’ll be there for her.

“Michael’s convinced Kristen’s going to tire of Rob,” an insider tells the Enquirer. “he’s still crazy about her, so he’s positioning himself to be there when the Rob romance crumbles.”

Michael was Kristen’s first real love… they met in 2007, and they remained together until she started cozying up to Rob.

Earlier this summer, Michael, 21, was crushed when Kristen called it quits. And he was even more devastated when she landed in the arms of Hollywood’s No. 1 Heartthrob.

“But Michael’s patient,” said the insider.

Michael and Kristen once seemed like an ideal couple, according to the insider. “They hardly ever argued, and they both had similar tastes in music, books and travel.”

Despite their breakup, the two “have remained great friends,” disclosed the insider. “They talk regularly.”

I’m sure they do talk regularly. Kristen always needs to keep one guy around to worship her from afar. That guy used to be Sparkles – he would look at her adoringly, like a lovesick puppy back when she was with Michael. Now, she’s just reversed the two guys. And they don’t really seem to mind, do they? My guess is that, yes, Kristen will probably dump Sparkles. And it will probably sooner rather than later. And she probably will go back to Michael, for a short time at least. And then she’ll find some new guys to worship her.
