Perhaps this morning’s news of Kristen Stewart getting it on with her SWATH director has breathed a little bit of fresh life into the Twilight franchise — of course, that’s a terrible thing for me to say, but it true. While there’s going to be plenty of backlash (as there should be) for KStew, this could be the perfect PR coup to pull the Kristen-Rob Pattinson romance into the final stretch of the Breaking Dawn: Part Two promotion.
Meanwhile, Ashley Greene is still puttering around Hollywood in search of her big breakout, post-franchise role. (Dare I say that she’d love to be in the midst of KStew’s current scandal? Of course she would.) Greene covers the August issue of Nylon to promote her upcoming role in The Apparition, and I have to say that I do like this photoshoot much more than her usual pose-hard routine. The clothes are casual, and Ashley looks young and funky just like she should, but she’s still pretty full of herself in the interview. Here are some excerpts:
She’s an actress, not a celebrity: “I got [to my casting], and there were cameras all around me. Everyone’s so obsessed with celebrity, I think more than ever before. It’s the instant gratification of it — the tabloids an the Internet and the camera phones. We’re just so infatuated with it that basically everyone is a stalker. I was like, ‘Just let me do my damn job!’”
She’s a method actress too: On believing in ghosts (or not): “That was one of the more difficult aspects [while filming haunted house thriller The Apparition], because I try to make everything as realistic as possible; I want to experience what the character is experiencing. So to make myself believe there was something after me…it was a dark time.”
On her own life experience: “Growing up, I didn’t have a hard life. Luckily, people are not the greatest in L.A., so once I got here and my heart was broken and people stabbed me in the back, I could use that to feel vulnerable.”
She kept her waitress gig after booking Twilight: “I was working at the Belmont Cafe in L.A., got the call, and two weeks later was rehearsing. Right when I was cast, my IMDb STARmeter went through the roof — all of ours did, and we hadn’t even done anything yet!. I asked my boss if I could have my job back after the shoot. He was like, “I don’t think you’ll need it but OK.”
On being typecast: “It’s not like, ‘Oh, you’re the quirky best friend-slash-sister.’ There’s no stereotype with Alice. And she doesn’t really look anything like me, with the pixie cut and the white makeup. So to be put in a box, I’d kind of have to do it myself. And I’m not going to do that.”

Eh. I don't really think there's a danger in the supporting Twilight cast getting typecast (unlike with Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner) after the franchise meets its inevitable end, and I think it's going to be more of a case of their largely limited talent hitting a wall. Primarily Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, and (to a degree) Jackson Rathbone will all have issues in the struggle not to fade away unnoticed. And yes, Greene too will fall by the wayside as well and be replaced with another attractive up-and-coming actress. Even if she does look great in this magazine photoshoot!

It’s always heartening to see a talented and versatile young actor, such as this one or the werewolf one, truly serious devoted and professional about their craft. The paparazzi are, like, the worst.
Just let the girl do her goddamn job, you vultures!

Yeah, she totally hates that. Kellan Lutz hates it more than her though.

“There’s no stereotype with Alice. And she doesn’t really look anything like me, with the pixie cut and the white makeup.”
And the famous hair school of acting on top of that!

Wow, that nose job she had is really quite unfortunate. I feel bad for saying this, but it kinda looks Michael Jacksonesque.

Thank you! I thought it was just me. It seems to get skinnier and skinnier on the tip every time I see her. She looks like a Jackson–my first thought. Poor girl is such a delusional try hard.

It’s especially irritating to read quotes like that when we know she probably has these paparazzi on speed-dial.

“Just let me do my damn job.”
And let me talk about how hard I work to do my damn job. And talk about not caring about the perks of my damn job. And bitch about the people who take photos of me doing my damn job. And then talk about how seriously I do my damn job. And then talk about not partying to interfere with my damn job. And then talk about how I definitely do NOT date celebrities to create more interest in my damn job. And talk about how hard it is to be so pretty doing my damn job as I shoot another useless cover promoting absolutely NOTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH MY DAMN JOB!
Guuuuurrrrllll. Please.

Ugh. She needs to get over herself tbh. No1curr about you Ashley.
She’s a beautiful girl who thinks she’s more famous than she really is.
This sideline basic bitch is not worth more than $20 and a coupon booklet to McDonalds so she needs to stop acting like she’s doing us a favour by acting. She should just be a model. Those DKNY ads were some of the best I’ve seen in a while.

Yeah. In all her interviews you get the impression that she thinks she’s really famous, but really no one knows who she is outside of Twihards and gossip fans.

I think it’s funny that this post has such few comments….on this site it’s a testament of popularity AND interest.
Poor poor Ashley. Keep on doing your “damn job” posing on covers and being a petulant vapid brat.

Thanks for the laugh! Rolling my eyes so hard it hurts.
I can’t wait for the entire cast of these terrible movies to disappear.

What’s important is how does Kella Lutz feel about Kellan Lutz not being in any Lutzy interviews? Why are the paps following Lutz and not letting him do some Lutz acting and Lutz methoding?!?! WHYYYY?
Ok I feel better. You know I really liked her in the first movie. I thought she did a great job with Alice but she’s so eaten away any goodwill I had towards her. I think Rathbone can actually act somewhat of the other stars. But her and Nikki and the rest will fall into obscurity.
I still don’t get why she’s had like seven interviews but all she’s really been in lately is Twilight. Her plea to let her act made me laugh. Err … no one is stopping you but your own lack of talent.

She really is beautiful, and I’m a sucker for that kind of face:dark hair and fine features. She should establish herself as a face of campaigns or something. Or television! I don’t think she has enough of charisma and talent for movie star category.
