"Jon Stewart called in some serious reinforcements to help console his Monday night Daily Show guest, Robert Pattinson: Ben and Jerry.\r\nFor the Twilight star&amp;apos;s first television appearance since news of girlfriend Kristen Stewart&amp;apos;s cheating scandal broke (his interview airs Monday at 11 pm), the Comedy Central host went easy on Pattinson, 26 -- but, in a winking acknowledgement of his recent heartbreak, brought out Ben and Jerry&amp;apos;s Cherry Garcia and Caramel Sutra for him to snack on.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Kristen&amp;apos;s name was never even mentioned and it definitely seemed like Jon was giving him a break,&amp;quot; one audience member tells Us Weekly. &amp;quot;Jon brought out the ice cream for him and Rob to eat, almost like Jon was feeding it to Rob to help him get through a breakup . . . Jon didn&amp;apos;t ask anything about Kristen but it was obvious that was what the ice cream was for.&amp;quot;\r\nDuring a portion of the sit-down that didn&amp;apos;t make it to air, one audience member says Stewart did attempt to bring up  public breakups in general, saying folks have been acting as though  they&amp;apos;re &amp;quot;the end of the world.&amp;quot; Pattinson&amp;apos;s reply? &amp;quot;It is.&amp;quot; (The audience then let out a collective, &amp;quot;Awww,&amp;quot; and the actor was quick to correct himself. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s not what I meant!&amp;quot;)\r\nDespite Stewart&amp;apos;s attempt to put his guest at ease, another witness says Pattinson was clearly anxious about being back in the spotlight.\r\n&amp;quot;Rob was just really awkward and acting kind of nervous,&amp;quot; the witness explains.\r\n\r\nIndeed, his Daily Show taping marks Pattinson&amp;apos;s first public appearance since he learned of girlfriend Stewart&amp;apos;s infidelity. Soon after, the Cosmopolis actor went into hiding on pal Reese Witherspoon&amp;apos;s Ojai, Calif. estate in an effort to clear his head -- and put some distance between him and his love of three years.\r\n&amp;quot;Rob was blindsided,&amp;quot; one source told Us at the time. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s questioning everything and wants nothing to do with Kristen.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
