I think the last time I wrote about Emma Roberts, I tried to be cautious because I didn’t know how many of you felt about her. Turns out I was walking on eggshells for no reason – many of you passionately dislike the girl. She does seem to be quite the pill, and you know what? She’s only going to get worse. Thankfully, I doubt she’s ever going to be as big of a star as her Aunt Julia. Even those who dislike Julia “THAT’S SO TACKY” Roberts have to admit that Julia has (or had) “It”. She was a Star. You could see that from her early films, you could see it when she walked (trotted?) the red carpet – Julia had that elusive quality where you just wanted to watch her because you knew she would be interesting. Her niece… well, Emma does not have that quality. Emma is pretty, boring girl who thinks she’s God’s gift, and girls like that are a dime a dozen.
Anyway, Emma covers the new issue of Seventeen Magazine. She’s promoting her role in Scream 4, where I think she’s like the fifth or sixth lead. This is what Aunt Julia’s pull gets her niece? The sixth lead in the fourth installment horror film? For shame! Anyway, the Seventeen interview is super-boring because Emma only talks in Oprah-esque feel-good soundbytes that mean nothing. The full Seventeen piece is here, and here are some highlights:
On being 20 years old: “Turning 20 made me realize that I want to be young and have fun. When I was 16, I was very frustrated all the time. I felt like nobody understood me. School was stressful, working was stressful, and it’s a really tough time for girls to be friends. I felt like I was always in a rush to get somewhere, when I had no idea where that was. Now I just feel content, and I feel like that’s a nice place to be. I’ve learned that I want to have great people in my life and lots of love in my life, and just enjoy it. I wish I had realized that sooner.”
On feeling sexy, and boobs: “Sexy when I was younger always meant boobs, and I’ve never had boobs in my life – so I always felt that sexy was out of the question for me. I used to really want to be that kind of voluptuous girl, and I’ve just kid of embraced that I’m not.”
Emma on her future husband: “Sometimes when I’m going to sleep, I think, ‘Oh God, my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him, or I might not, and I wonder what he’s doing and I wonder if he knows me.’ I just always think that’s so fascinating, that even when you were two years old, your future husband was out there somewhere.”
She writes too: “I write, just to do it for me, because I know, when I’m older, I’ll want to look back and know what was going on in my mind. I look back on journals that I had when I was 15, and it’s so interesting to see that the things that I thought were the end of the world at 15, I barely remember now.”
On the party scene: “I like to go to parties if I know who’s going to be there, and if it’s people I want to be with. I don’t just go to go. And I always drive myself, because I hate being stuck places—there’s nothing worse that going out and then being stuck!”
On living alone: “You don’t realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there’s no mom to do your laundry, and make you dinner and to do things for you, and you don’t think about little things like buying paper towels and salt. So moving out was definitely a shock. But I still have sleepovers with my mom sometimes because I miss her so much.”
On never asking boys about fashion: “I never ask boys’ opinions on clothes, ever. I really think, unless you think the guy has style, don’t ask. So I only ask my girl friends. I don’t trust guys’ opinions on style!”
She‘s young enough to believe this: “When it comes to love, always be open. Because the second you’re not pining after a boy, or a boyfriend, amazing love comes into your life.”
She doesn‘t understand boys: “Boys these days don’t really pursue girls. I think they sit back and let girls come to them. And I don’t understand how, if you have feelings for someone, you don’t want to pursue her, and make her feel great about herself!”
[From Seventeen]
I mean… yeah, she’s young. Really young. Younger than most 20 year olds, I would suspect. Oooh, you know who she would just get along with SO WELL? Taylor Swift. They could be immature and talk about boys and glitter together. Except that I kind of expect that two such immature little girls would end up having some kind of terrible bitch-fight if you put them in the same room.
One last thing – Emma’s most recent “rumored boyfriend” is Chace Crawford. Sure. I could see that. Why not just go for Blake Lively’s castoffs and go for Penn Badgley? Or if you just wanted to get laid by someone gross, sexy and furry, I would totally go for Ed Westwick. But girls that age don’t understand the pull of Westwick. Sigh…
Here are a few pics from last night’s premiere of Scream 4:

I took my daughter to see the Nancy Drew movie years ago and thought she was cute.
I’ve since seen her in a few interviews and she is just, well you said it Kaiser “a pill” She really thinks she is the sh*t. And nope, I don’t think she is.

This was the best written piece all day. The little “trotting” aside made me chuckle. Oh, and this remark was pretty good too, “Emma is pretty, boring girl who thinks she’s God’s gift, and girls like that are a dime a dozen.” Oh, and didn’t Tay Tay and Emma play besties in Valentine’s Day? I have a feeling they probably hated each other. I bet Emma wanted Jacob all to herself.

She’s bland and irritating. NOT a good combination. The one thing I do feel sorry for her on? She got her Aunt Julia’s teeth, but not the blazing smile. At least Julia has height, and facial structure to back it up. This girl just has terrifyingly huge teeth. She’s not the surprise wolf in Red Riding Hood, is she?

Can not stand either of them. For no valid reason whatsoever. I just loved eric roberts and yes he was an ass but people have had MUCH worse relatives and didn’t treat them as crappy as these two have. Well aware that no one ever knows what goes on in anyone’s life but the level of smugness about it chapped my ass.

I generally dislike her b/c I hear she’s quite entitled and she hasn’t done anything to make me think she’s talented or worthy. BUT I think she has a point that guys nowadays don’t court women, they wait for women to come to them. I really do think that. Am I crazy here/

I can see that, in theory, she’s a pretty girl. But there is something very displeasing about her looks for me. It’s her mouth, I think. Her smile. It never is sincere, never reaches up into her eyes.
I wish she’d go away. I don’t understand why she gets any attention at all.

I get the impression that Taylor Swift isn’t putting on an act, she’s actually as immature as she seems (and she’s not hurting anybody, so whatever). But Emma Roberts is a whole different animal. She is legitimately a bitch. I think this is a put-on. Maybe she’s in the market for the same sorts of fans as Taylor’s, but this girl is Grade A. I have had two interactions with her and a friend who used to live and work on the Disney lot has had several (a lot of them around the age of 16 or so were running in the same circles) and the general consensus is that she is not down with the females at all. Maybe that’s what she’s alluding to with the “it’s hard to be friends with girls” comment… that was right around when she was mouthing off the most.

Is it me or is everything about that magazine cover why we are so fucked as a society? Sure it’s for kids, but not one of the articles listed is about self-empowerment through accomplishments or hard work. Its all about being pretty, frilly and flirting strategies to make guys do things for you.

She’s being interviewed for 17 magazine, which is read by 12 year olds. She’s just answering in a way that is suitable for her audience at hand. And I’ll take a bitch over a “aw, shucks, little ol’ me?” type any day. False modesty is worse than youthful arrogance.

I had seen her in a interview for the Scream 4 movie..and I tell you she had a very high cringy,pitchy annoying voice. Some valley, cali language also trying to sound mature and cool but not interested at all the others actor in the movie. She suppose to be Neve Campbell character niece. Also her mouth was going right to left. I tought she was a kid of 16/17. Twenty ? well add botox, nose job and some lip fillers she is trying to run on her aunts band wagon.

Not sure what the big deal is. She’s TWENTY! Jesus Christ on a cracker, give the girl a break. She’s giving an interview for seventeen magazine, which is really aimed at like, 11 year olds.
Simply business. Der.
At least she’s not whining and squinting about her trials and tribulations in love in a sophmorically written love song.

Your all are being too HARSH on her. She is just answering question elegantly what the magazine people asks her. I think she is very graceful and naturally beautiful.
Whats up with everyone bitching on her for being a ‘twat’? At least she is not like those other 20′s whores like Miley, Selena, Vanessa etc. She looks quite independent and intelligent to me.

I didn’t really find anything irritating about the interview, although she does come off a little too young. Definitely not as irritating as Taylor Swift or Vanessa Hudgens, not even close. There’s nothing to either of those girls beyond cute faces.
I really like the cover, but the other pics aren’t so great.
And she looked really good at the premiere.

What’s up with you people???
What did she do so wrong that you are criticizing her so much??? It’s a magazine for teenage girls who are interested in boys, dating and worrying about their awkward appearance and she’s just answering questions which might be of interest to them!
I prefer a “childish” 20 year old (although she doesn’t seem like one, she sounds more like a romantic girl to me) to a slutty “lets-make-a-sex-tape” 20 year old as far as teenage role models are concerned.
Stop hating!

I completely agree with Kaiser re: Emma Roberts’s lack of star quality or charisma. Julia (who I know can come across as very irritating) still has “it” even though she’s past her heyday. It’s one of those things that goes beyond looks-some people have it and some don’t. If Emma did not have her family connections she would not be getting parts…pretty girls with a fair degree of talent are all over the place.

Criticizing isn’t hating. I didn’t see very many people saying genuinely cruel things about her, but I did see people talking through the article and discussing her personality. Yeah, there were some bitchy comments. This is CELEBITCHY. “Bitchy” is in the title. If people cannot bitch on the internet, where else can they?

I agree that she has her aunt Julia’s large mouth & teeth… But not her ability to smile sincerely.
This girl is nothing special, dime a dozen. Being pretty doesn’t count for anything, there are countless girls out there who are attractive… & more pleasant to talk to than miss ‘i’m so awesome, I can be totally arrogant & still expect people to like me.
Reminds me of Vanessa Hudgens. -_-

I don’t like her, but this wasn’t a bad interview. I liked what she said about diaries-I went through some of my old ones recently, and the drama of it all! No wonder teenage girls are so annoying, EVERYTHING is life or death.

This interview doesn’t bother me. Yes, she comes off as really young, probably 15 or 16, not 20, but overall, okay for her demographic. It’s an annoying demographic so I give her pass for a lot of the content. I admit that she may be a self absorbed, entitled bitch, but I can’t tell from this interview and this is all I know of her. I will say that she does not appear to have her aunt’s “it” factor so I dont see any longevity here.

I don’t see anything immature or irritating about this article. But then I don’t find Taylor Swift immature either. I think good for both of them that they don’t feel the need to feign sophistication that they don’t posess in order to try to prove something to the world the way a lot of people their age do. I’m so sick of people who try to act jaded and edgy to prove they’re mature. I prefer the people like Taylor and Emma who are mature enough to admit to having feelings that others might label as corny or not sophisticated enough to the posers.

Poor girl needs a colorist in a bad way. The brassy hair is so awful against her complexion. And new makeup also. Something more natural, earthy or bronzy – at least a warm color.

Ok… I’m 18 (almost 19) and I’m almost offended by how poorly she represents my generation. If I knew any better I’d say she was 15 max.
Oh and I love that one answer where she says “I just wanted to be voluptuous.” Basically she is saying I had to come to terms with being really thin and privileged. Ha – poor Ems you’ve gone through so much.

I have to repeat myself (from the Swift post).Yes, she’s 20, in one year she’s going to have ALL adult rights ets. So WHY should be treated differently than the rest? Isn’t this “cutting slack” actually promoting immaturity? When is to expect anyone to be mature, in their 30s perhaps?

She’s right about one thing: boys don’t pursue girls these days. And the reason is that for every decent looking guy, there are at least three girls chasing him, plus girls give it up too easily. Guys used to pursue more when free booty was not so easily had. Girls have sold themselves short. I know that most people don’t wait for marriage. I’m just saying that guys don’t even have to wine and dine girls anymore. The girl will literally go over to the guy’s mother’s house, which is often where he lives. We live in a cheap culture. And girls don’t even require a modicum of courtship prior to jumping in the sack.

She isn’t talented. The only reason why she is even in movies, is because of nepotism, due to the fact that her aunt is Julia Roberts and her father is Eric Roberts.
I just hope, unlike her aunt, when she meets her “future husband”, HE isn’t already married to someone else.
