First, he nabbed Robert Pattinson's coveted movie role, but is Reeve Carney now trying to steal Rob's girlfriend, too?

That seems to be the Robsten fanatics' fear o' the moment. In case you haven't been keeping up, Rob was interested in playing the part of legendary rocker Jeff Buckley in the big-screen biopic. Sadly, that role went to Broadway Spider-Man star Carney.

So how does the guy go from script stealer to Kristen Stewart snatcher?

‘Cause he seems to have a bit of a celeb crush on the Twilight babe!

Sleuthy (and probably a bit paranoid, too) Rob fans were quick to discover that the man who replaced their beloved vamp heartthrob has chatted about Kristen quite a few times. And even admits on Twitter that he dreams about her!

"Dreamt that I fell in love with Kristen Stewart," @reevecarney tweeted, "and then spent the rest of the dream being chased around by a man with a machete."

You had better watch out, Reeve, 'cause that might be Rob Pattinson with the machete. Or more likely, a Twi-hard.

We're kidding, of course, but Reeve went on to adorably tell that same dream in a video with Popdust, and can we just say, we don't hate him. He's got some pipes on him and he's not too shabby on the eyes, either.

But calm down, Robsten fans! We're not replacing Rob.

Even though Reeve and K.Stew have met before (he tweeted how much of a sweetie she was after she saw his band, Carney, perform at SXSW last year), they both have significant others. Reeve is linked up to rocker chick Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas, FYI.

Besides, have you all noticed how eerily alike Reeve and Kristen look? They'd look like twins kissing, eww!

So we're all in agreement that there's no unnecessary beef here, right?

At least when it comes to the ladies. We're still kinda disappointed Robby won't be playing Buckley.
