Recently, at an Usmagazine.com Music Party, Stanger told Hollyscoop.com, “I love the fact that [Robert Pattinson] let [Kristen Stewart] apologize and that she owned up to her mistake. Let’s see if they can heal each other and if they can get married in the next year and a half.” Although most of America thought their love fiasco may have been a publicity stunt for the Twilight Saga movie, Stanger actually saw a heartbroken Pattinson and a remorseful Stewart. “I think it’s for real because I really think he had a broken heart, I think he really cried his eyes out and I think she really regretted what she did.” When it comes to cheating, Stanger believes in forgiveness. “She’s human and they’re young.
