  Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson play the newlywed game in the December issue of Harper's Bazaar. Mark Seliger Rob Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's rooms sit side by side on the thirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver ("the Couve," as Kristen calls it), where they are filming "Eclipse," the third installment of the "Twilight" saga (see more pics here). They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky -- two Rapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors -- because it's really, really hard to go out.
  
  At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two, who, as "Twilight's" Bella and Edward, manifest all of our vampiric romance fetishes: Are they dating or what? Well ... it's clear that Rob and Kristen are close -- very close. OK, who is the most romantic then? "I have a no-bull---- detector," says Kristen, "so I'd have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming." Rob chuckles when asked the same question. "Um, I don't know. What did Kristen say?" You. "No. I'm better at faking." This is followed by a very long laugh.

  Nine Things You Didn't Know About Rob and Kristen

  The two first met at the 2007 auditions for "Twilight," what they both assumed was going to be a cult vampire movie -- not a $380-million-grossing global phenomenon complete with their own Barbies. They were thrown into a bedroom scene -- well, a scene in a bedroom, anyway. "It wasn't like we had to lie down together," Kristen says, "but we were very reactive. We had a very responsive, palpable thing." Robert notoriously took half a Valium beforehand. "I was calm and collected, and then we do this thing where we're pretty much making out. I've since tried to do it at another audition, but it completely just collapsed." He adds, "Kristen was very different from how I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind of intimidated."
  
  The tabloids are excitedly reporting that Rob and Kristen are "Engaged!" based solely on them calling each other "husband" and "wife" on set. So it seems only appropriate to hit them with a newlywed game of sorts. (Read the full story here.)
  
  Who spends more time on their hair?
  Kristen: "Rob."
  Rob: "I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can't stand people -- um, I'll do anything to not have any touch-ups."

  Who's more competitive?
  Kristen: "Rob. In a very childish way, in every aspect of his life. He'll literally start talking in a different voice if he's won something. He sounds like a five-year-old."
  Rob: "I'd say it was even. She said me? Really? When I really win things, it's just like..." [Kristen is correct: He makes a noise like a five-year-old.]
  
  Who's more athletic?
  Kristen: "I'm definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run ..."
  Rob: "Kristen. You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I'm supposed to be the superhero."
  
  Who's more egotistical?
  Kristen: "I'd have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a f*** about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."
  Rob: "It's kind of a tie. We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous. Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."

  Who Googles themselves more?
  Kristen: "Rob."
  Rob: "She would say me, but I reckon it's her. If either one of us catches the other one doing it, we're like ... 'is that what you're looking at?' And the other one's on their phone pretending to text. I look up my competition more than she does. I'm incredibly shallow. I think she just looks at herself."

  Who's the better musician?
  Kristen: "Rob. He's a great singer. Heartbreaking."
  
  Who's the most outgoing?
  Rob: "I was once, but not so much anymore. Kristen's a little more open now."
  
  Who's a better sport?
  Kristen: "Who can hang? Definitely me. He's very sensitive. He's got a fragile ego."
  
  Who's the most superstitious?
  Kristen: "Rob. He's a little bit more paranoid, so that feeds into superstition more."
  Rob: "I am. I believe a lot in karma and stuff. Like when I end up with egg on my face, I'm like, 'Fate! I was born doomed.' But I think it's more being an idiot than superstitious."
  
  But perhaps it pays to be a little paranoid. Whatever it takes for Rob and Kristen to live their hothouse lives as normally as they can, until the November 20 opening of "New Moon," anyway. In the interim, CNN will report whenever Rob gets a haircut (it already has), and girls will get mad at Kristen for not wearing pink tube tops and taking their dream man away.

  They both fantasize about what they would do if nobody could see them. "I'd like to say something noble," Rob says, fiddling with his hair, "but I'd probably spy on people to hear what they think of me -- and then hate them for it afterward." Kristen is, as ever, a little blunter: "I'd go for a walk."
