Rumor Control: Emile Hirsch's chick friend sells out Rob, insinuating romance

This story, from Life&Style, is a bunch of smut:

Robert hooked up with a gorgeous blonde in Cannes! Los Angeles resident Erika Dutra and Robert were spotted canoodling at the post-party for amfAR Cinema Against AIDS in Cannes.

"Erika was introduced to Robert by a mutual friend at the beginning of the night and he was smitten with her from that point on," an eyewitness tells Life & Style. "He took pictures of her, sat with her all night, and the two of them were even seen kissing! There was serious chemistry between them, and they looked like they were having an amazing time."

And it seems the night didn't end there for the two: "Erika and Robert even left the party together!" the eyewitness reveals.

Lainey spills the REAL deets:

First - the amfAR event was loaded with journalists. Many, many journalists. It would however seem that the only witness to Pattinson’s supposed hookup with this blonde was Life & Style’s source. Because everyone else – and trust me, EVERYONE was watching him that night, including several with a vested interest and much to gain from a Robert Pattinson romance story – observed that he was actually really low key that night, spoke with Emile Hirsch, was not drinking heavily, and certainly did not spend most of the night, if any part of the night, in the exclusive company of “Erika”.

Speaking of Emile Hirsch though – you can blame him for Pattinson getting sold out. Because it’s his friend who did it.

Emile and his girlfriend joined Pattinson’s table. Was funny because Hirsch pulled up two chairs and didn’t bother pulling up a third for the attractive blonde who was with them and clearly wanted to sit down.

And who was she? Yes, she was Erika. The same Erika with Pattinson in these pictures. But they were not taken at amFAR on Thursday. They were taken on the terrace. 100%.We saw her in this outfit Wednesday night, shaking Pattinson’s hand when she was introduced to him by Emile Hirsch and his girlfriend.

In other words: a friend of Emile Hirsch misrepresented herself. A friend of Emile Hirsch sold out Robert Pattinson. Is Erika an aspiring actress? Or hard up for cash?

As for whether or not she left with Pattinson after amfAR, we’re not sure she was even AT amfAR. And again, he was being watched all night. No one else seems to be able to corroborate Life & Style’s account.
