Here are some photos of Kristen Stewart and her girlfriend Alicia Cargile out and about in LA over the weekend. It’s difficult to figure out how long they’ve been together because they were friends for so long and then at some point, friendship crossed over into something else. My guess is that their romantic relationship has been happening for more than a year – the first tabloid stories about them began in April 2014.
As for their style… those mom jeans hurt me. Kristen’s casual street style is so hit or miss – I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of skinny jeans, but I’ll take skinny jeans over these light-wash mom jeans any day of the week. I feel like Kristen and Alicia have a real thing for the ‘90s look, which is what I grew up with. This is how my friends dressed in the mid ‘90s: bad jeans, Nirvana t-shirt, Chuck Taylors (or Vans), unwashed hair. All we need now is some Patchouli oil, Marlboro Lights and Portishead on the CD player and the ‘90s will officially be back.
Here’s something I missed – Kristen is currently filming or about to film Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk with Oscar-winning director Ang Lee. Per THR:
The film centers around a 19-year-old private (Alwyn) who survives a battle in Iraq, which is captured by news cameras. He and his company of soldiers are brought back to the U.S. for a promotional tour culminating in a halftime show at a Thanksgiving Day football game. Most of the movie takes place during the day of the game, with flashbacks to the wartime events.
Garrett Hedlund is in it, as is Steve Martin and Joe Alwyn. That’s some very good company for Kristen – I’m actually pretty impressed with the projects she’s been taking on. She’s rarely the star, she’s favoring ensemble or supporting work, she’s focusing on indie projects and good directors and she managed to win a Cesar Award. Let’s be honest – she’s figured out a way to transition from the Twilight franchise with more success than Robert Pattinson. Interesting, isn’t it?

Her hair got long quick.
She has extension hair
I don’t think those are extensions. Her hair is only about 3-4 inches longer than when she had her bob, and hair can grow that fast in a few months.
What? That’s her hair
They’re extensions, but short ones. She just filmed that Ang Lee movie and a stylist who worked on her extensions posted pics of her. She was at the Chanel show in South Korea with much shorter hair. It didn’t grow several inches in a matter of a week or two, which was the time between the show and when her hair appeared this length.
Those jeans look better than the super tight skinny ones she used to wear. It hurt me to look at those, looked so uncomfortable.
I think the jeans are Levi’s 501’s w/button fly, different washes. They’re classic!
I think her figure looks very good in these jeans, more attractive than in her skinny jeans.
They are. Those are not what I’d call “mom jeans”, either. Maybe I’m old.
I agree. These are not MOM jeans at all, but classic Levi’s. And they look a 1000x better than skinny jeans.
I think she just kept wearing the same jeans, or buying the same size, that she used to wear a few years ago even though she’s gained weight. They looked bad, I much prefer this.
Mom jeans are back. no more butt crack…
I think Robert Pattinson is waiting for his girlfriend to point the way next. He seems to be a pretty confused individual when left to his own devices.
I saw Twigs at Field Day in London this weekend and she was mesmerising. I dont think listening to her advice will do him much harm.
It makes me laugh at all the Kristen Stewart fans that call FKA twigs ugly. But she is definitely a style icon and very alluring. A picture of her performing at Parklife in Manchester last night shows how attractive she is, As for Kaiser stating that Kristen is more successful in her choices. Her movies have gotten more publicity and a bigger advertising budgets. There is definitely a bias against Rob in the American trade paper Variety in reporting that Life has an American distributor. It headlined as a James Dean biopic, when it is in fact a biopic of the Life photographer Dennis Stock in getting James Dean to do a photo spread with him tracing back to his roots. They and the Hollywood Reporter did the same thing when it was rumored that Pattinson had gotten a lucrative contract with Dior. They were quick to publish articles saying it wasn’t true. He really needs to hire a PR person to straighten out these articles. These are a nice pictures of Twigs performing in Manchester last night dailym*ai/1F4qYXX
Did you see twigs on the Apple Music home page? She is featured in their new ad too. That was a surprise today.
Interesting. I’ve been thinking the same thing about Stewart’s recent career move. She was patient, took on small indie roles to pat her resume and is getting rewarded for it. She’s been getting lots of great reviews and box office for her indies have been quite good. I expect American Ultra (based on the overwhelming response to the trailer) might bring her big box office success again. Good for her!
As for Rob Pattinson, his movies have been struggling. That’s too bad because his acting has gotten better.
The irony hasn’t escaped me, he usually gets all the positive tabloids coverage but is still struggling to get a footing in Hollywood. While she was vilified & is hated by those same tabloids, but she has a much higher profile. Maybe we’re laughing (ignorant) about her winning the César, without realizing what a prestigious honor it is….those in the know, took note. And there is no doubt, that César has helped push her career forward this year. And more great directors will be calling…The irony.
Sils Maria’s gross was quite disappointing. With that cast and the press Kristen has been doing, it really should be doing better. Still Alice was a success because Moore won the Oscar.
It’s easy to choose small roles in Indie movies when they’re the only offer offers you receive
Well, we are talking indies. SILS Maria has grossed close to $2M in the U.S. under 3 months. This kind of indie, from a French director, that’s pretty good. Despite a Golden Globe nomination,Cannes win and a high profile director, Maps to the stars wasn’t able to crack $1/2M…so let’s be fair here.
@Maria
Sils Maria numbers are on track with his other movies and they were in french. This was in English, with famous actors and tons of publicity. Even experts said that this hadn’t the crossover effect that they they expected. For example Blue is the Warmest Colour (movie in French 3 hours long) made more than Sils Maria. Sorry but COSM wasn’t a success
What experts? Because trades said that it did well. Also it´s a small distributor who barely had money for press. You can´t talk of a US-press tour for this movie. There wasn´t even a proper premiere. Blue is the Warmest Colour had a lot of hype for being NC-17 and about 2 girls. It had that tittilating eye-catcher of the much talked about sex-scenes, whereas COSM is literally 2 women talking. Hardly the same premise.
Maps to the stars went VOD & iTunes the same day as theatrical release. You can’t compare this distribution strategy with COSM getting only theatrical release, Q&As and other promo stuff. That’s why some industry people were upset about Maps when the distribution strategy was announced.
@abra
Indiewire, Deadline, Hollywood reporter said this and if you go on BO mojo you can see its numbers. “You can´t talk of a US-press tour for this movie” there were interviews on media, Conan tv talks, every festivals last year and hype for Cesar. No this movie hadn’t good numbers at BO
@abra Sils Maria had IFC as a distributor and they did a good job promoting it with a bunch of festivals, Q&As and print ads. FYI, they released Boyhood last year & led a proper Oscar campaign for the movie, helped Patricia Arquette win her first Oscar & Marion C. get her second nom for Two days, One night. They are hardly considered a small distributor.
Actually, I read the trades and they all said that it opened well and had a decent BO. They always estimate how much a movie will make and this did better than expected. Festivals don´t count as press tour, they just play there when they´re accepted, regardless of a movIe´s distribution. Also talk shows and print interviews are the very minimum you can do to promote a movie. A real press tour would mean junkets, shows like GMA and so on. The movie was clearly aimed at a small audience with the way it was handeled and it did well for that. But i can already guess why that bums you out 🙂
I never watched anything to do with the Twilight franchise (not my thing at all) and only really knew her from here and of course the drama with the director affair. Accordingly I really wrinkled my nose at all things Kristen Stewart. However, I did watch Still Alice on VOD this weekend.
I could not take my eyes off the screen whenever she was in a scene. She has a very compelling screen presence and her scenes with JM were wonderful cinema. Two very talented women.
Women are more interesting in general tbh. I don’t see her ‘it’ factor but she must have something to survive such extreme backlash. It usually destroys careers (see Meg Ryan) but then again, KS was never considered a good girl/girl next door.
@Artemis
She definitely hasn’t the “it” factor especially when compared to other young actresses. She’s like Aniston a woman for tabloids
Aniston can’t win awards to save her life, KS has just won a César.
@Artemis
Even Adrian Brody won a Cesar and where is now? Cesar doesn’t matter outside France or you search every year who win this award(or Donatello, Goya..)? if she didn’t win Cesar you never know about its existence
@abra
LOL you fans are always so deluded! If you like to think it was a success then he continues to think but the truth is that it was at best decent. Stewart isn’t a BO draw
American Ultra will be a big draw . People seem to love KS, Jessie together, plus from the trailer, the movie looks fun & interesting.
@Maria
“People seem to love KS” LMAO Maria you’re so deluded! If this movie will have good numbers at BO will be because it’s a spy-comedy LOL
Um, why do people claim stuff like this when it’s easily rebutted? There were articles in IndieWire, Deadline, and Hitfix about it having a strong domestic opening and it was nominated for six Caesars. I can provide links, although I don’t know if I’m allowed to post URLs on here. No one is claiming she’s some huge box office draw, but she was the main supporting role in Still Alice which was a hit and the main supporting role in a film that was nominated for a bunch of Caesars that had a decent opening weekend and won one herself.
She also hasn’t really had a chance to “prove” her real box office power yet post Twilight so this argument is kind of dumb since she hasn’t had a film with wide release…just small indies. American Ultra is more of a real test of “box office power” as it’s a mainstream film in wide-release.
@Brianne
Your opinion. I have read a number of folks & publications state how happy they are that KS & Jessie are back together in a movie. You are free to disagree.
It doesn’t matter what the fans or general public think, people in the actual business (people who understand the numbers) said it was a success. Enough of a success to green light the writer/directors next movie, which will star Kristen. Very little money seemed to be spent advertising the movie. I am a fan and was looking for television ads and saw two. Appearing on talk shows, film festivals and in magazines is free advertising for the movies and that was the route IFC went.
@tracy you’re crazy LMAO new movie hadn’t the green light because COSM isn’t a sequel LOL
@div she had Snow White and isn’t a huge success and they din’t want her for the sequel LOL
it’s nice to be a fan but you must be realistic LOL
@frances: I can’t even read what you wrote. And perhaps 4 LOLs was a little much?
At some point- hopefully soon- a KS post won’t drag Robert Pattinson in it. If the contest is “interesting directors”- I think they are tied. As far as skinny jeans vs what they are wearing here- #teammomjeans. Those super tight ones are pretty unflattering.
It’s funny, because when Stewart initially signed for those movies (Camp X Ray, American Ultra, Clouds of Sils Maria) there was derision that all she could get were these tiny indie movies. And now it’s ‘what a great career move’.
Not surprising at all that she´s more successful.
I remember some Breaking Dawn interview with the two of them where Rob was saying that Kristen knows she is an actor, knows that’s what she wants to do, it drives her and she is certain about it. Whereas Rob said he wasn’t as sure, he didn’t think acting was the thing he was meant to do (in so many words). I don’t know how much Rob really “wants” the big acting career. He certainly has made a deliberate choice to avoid any studio movies since Twilight. Kristen definitely wants it – the roles, the awards, the glory, so good for her for her success.
But I do think he is frustrated by it all lately. Last year he had 2 movies postponed, and Idol’s Eye with DeNiro canceled on the first day of shooting. He seems to definitely be in some sort of transition time. He is supposed to film Brimstone and Lost City of Z in the next few months, and who knows what is happening with the Korine movie.
I think Rob would be happy existing solely in the indie world, only choosing offbeat projects he likes, and not worrying about maintaining some sort of A list status. I don’t know, it will be interesting to see where he lands in the next few years. He has the international fame, and he has the talent, so he will continue to have choices for a while. The question is what does he want -and does he even know the answer to that right now.
I agree, not surprising at all. She’s been acting a lot longer than Pattinson and did several very decent movies prior to Twilight. Several of those early movies received critical acclaim. In particular, Roger Ebert was a big fan and would generally speak quite highly of her. She also received several early raves by reviewers for the New York Times.
I think Pattinson was more a guy that was into being a musician that seemed to stumble into acting. But the fact was Twilight didn’t really require great acting and while Pattinson served his purpose in those films it didn’t mean he had the chops to go out and do much more after. He’s tried, and he’s game, but he’s still a relatively inexperienced actor who, through one set of related films, became very widely known.
Stewart will do okay. I’m not particularly impressed with her public persona, or her way of presenting herself at times, but she’s a trained actress with a resume. Because of that she will continue to work.
I dress like that pretty much every day. Except for the hair. I have to keep that sh@t clean.
A contradiction in itself.
Same! Since the 90s- have the same shirt as Alicia but mine’s a lot more faded 😉 And I prefer fit & flare jeans
Am I allowed to say that I don’t find Alicia attractive? I know it doesn’t really matter, because she’s not my girlfriend. But since it’s okay for me to muse over how sexy or unsexy a man is, is it okay for me to say that I just don’t find her appealing?
Why not? Rather unfortunate nose. Kirsten always made fun of all the attention Rob’s looks got, so maybe beauty isn’t important to her.
It is, but then everyone will start clutching their pearls and get all verklempt and upset and it’s some kind of shaming of something I dunno I said she was fug once and the Celebitches almost burned the place down.
Of course you are, it’s your opinion and you’re entitled to have one. And I agree with it.
I think it would be kind of hard to look good standing next to Kristen Stewart anyway.
I think Alicia is no classic beauty, but she has a really interesting and memorable look that hasn’t been botoxed and contoured into genericness. I think she’s really cute, one of those people whose attractiveness is not just about their looks but about force of personality. Also, most people are attracted to others for reasons beyond their appearance unless they are completely shallow.
Your last sentence is very true. I acknowledge that mine was a very superficial comment. I didn’t intend for there to be any malice behind it– i just don’t find her physically appealing. I’m sure she’s a very interesting human being with a beautiful soul, though. I meant my comment in the same way that I would say that Tom Hardy is a steaming pile of sex, or that Bradley Cooper does absolutely nothing for me. Purely a shallow comment on whether or not I find a human being attractive.
She has always been in better position than Sparkles. She grew up in Hollywood with all the perks of knowing the right people, got some moderate acclaim in indies even before Twilight, she fronted the Snow White blockbuster and landed a leading role in WB’s Focus alongside Ben Affleck even after the cheating scandal (they both dropped out/were recast later though) while R-Pattz was struggling to find roles other than teen heartthrobs & was going for smaller Australian and Canadian productions in pursuit of some acting cred and range. And she’s at the age when actresses are in high demand and paired with older dudes on screen, lol
ans she’s still the second choice after Stone, JLaw and others. She have this small roles because bigger names didn’t make it
Nothing wrong with that. All actresses okay second at one point in their career, better 2nd than not being on the list at all. 😶
I disagree that Rob was “struggling” to find roles. He made a deliberate choice to pursue smaller indie movies, partly to establish credibility, but also because that is the type of movie he really likes (both to watch and to be a part of). Herzong, Michod, Cronenberg, Francis Lawrence, Guy Pearce, and Wyck Godfrey have all commented on this. Coming off Twilight he likely received lots of big studio movie offers – but he has made no secret of the fact that isn’t what he wanted to do.
All indies are different, there are bigger productions and smaller ones. Some indies have wider appeal and end up with major distributors and good BO. Neither of his recent movies fits that category, they’re all more of arthouse endeavors. I’m pretty sure he’d be thrilled to work with Jeff Nichols or PT Anderson, but those parts go to more established actors. That’s why I said he’s struggling. He’s not interested in blockbusters, but indie world hasn’t totally embraced him either.
“The indie world hasn’t embraced him either”…. I don’t necessarily agree with that. Cronenberg, Michod, Herzog, Corbijn, Gray, Korine , this list is not too shabby. And Marsh and Assayas “embraced” him for their movies too, but the movies got stuck in development.
What “established actors” have taken parts that Rob would have liked – any you are thinking of specifically? I think Rob’s biggest competition right now is Miles Teller and Jack McConnell – those 2 are definitely talented and both are out there hustling. McConnell has the Jolie connection – that is helping him immeasurably. I just don’t know if Rob wants it as much as those two.
@Anname as far as I know he wanted the part that went to Owen Wilson in Inherent Vice and the role of Matthew McConaughey in Mud. I’m sure there are other roles he courted but wasn’t considered respected or marketable enough. And you mentioned Miles Teller, that’s a good example of an actor of his age who gets bigger and better parts.
Dina – Owen Wilson is 18 years older than Rob – where on earth are you getting that Rob was in consideration for that role?? I do think Rob would have loved to be in Inherent Vice – but there was no role appropriate for him.
Mud filmed Sept-Nov 2011. In 2011 Rob finished Breaking Dawn, immediately into Water for Elephants press tour, straight into Cosmopolis filming, then onto the Breaking Dawn press tour. I don’t think he could have done Mud even if he wanted to. And McConaughey is 17 years older than Rob. I have no idea where you are pulling this info from.
According to The Wrap, Kristen recently lost a role to Gina Rodriguez, would you say that is because she isn’t considered respected or marketable enough as well? Your shade throwing is unnecessary, and I have seen no evidence Rob was up for either one of those roles you mentioned (if there is proof, please post it, I would be interested in seeing it).
Not that this argument really matters, but I need to point out that I’m not making stuff up. Robert himself said he tried to pursuade the Mud’s director to make the leading character younger and give him that part. And he said he was interested in Inherent Vice, I assumed it’s for Owen Wilson’s part, that particular character could’ve been younger too.
Dina, I have been a big Rob fan since 2009, and I have never heard one peep of Rob wanting to be in Mud at all. He went to the Cannes premiere to support Reese Witherspoon, his co star from Water for Elephants, that’s about it.
I have also never heard him mention Inherent Vice. I am making an assumption he would have wanted to be in it, because it’s just the type of movie he likes, and he has mentioned he wants to work with J. Phoenix. Inherent Vice is a book – the character is defined (age included) there, why would the director change it for no reason?
i think you are “making stuff up”, because you have offered nothing to prove your suppositions. If Rob talked about these roles, post the article/interview. Both roles went to men 17-18 years older than Rob, and there is absolutely no evidence Rob wanted either one.
Kristen may have lost the role to Gina or maybe not. Another trade reported she passed. Guess it’s all in who you believe. Kinda like if you believe rob dropped out of mission blacklist because he wouldn’t have time to prepare. I imagine this isn’t the article the die hard rob fans expected here . When celebtichy thinks kristen has a more successful career right now than rob, you know it’s the truth.
@anname why’s it’s so important for you to prove Rob was never up for those roles? Do you prefer him lazy than actually hustling and failing? Just curious.
LOL, I am amused by your snark. Yeah, I’ll pass on the lazy or the failure, since neither is accurate, thanks though. I know trying to stay in reality might be challenging, but at least pick roles that are more likely than 40+ year old characters.
You all can go on believing that Kristen’s successes have crushed my Rob fan heart, I am sure it makes you very happy to believe that. It’s ridiculous, but knock yourself out. I do not argue that Kristen’s career is going better right now, that is fairly obvious. I know that acting careers have significant ups and downs, and that applies to both Rob and Kristen.
Gretchen, I am very amused by your thought that Celebitchy is the arbiter of who is a successful actor, that is quite a stretch. LOL
The non happening of Kristen’s co star Garett Hedlund is a bigger surprise to me.
So much so that the Tron series has been cancelled, one reason being Hedlund has not become a big enough name in the interim years to carry any movie since the first Tron.
Let me add another here-Daniel Radcliffe. He did and should get kudos for tackling B’way(and a musical no less!!), but his screen performances are pretty meh. He was pretty good in Kill Your Darlings, but both Horns and What If? not so much. The latter was so over the top cute pixie girl/nerdy guy that I couldn’t finish it. I’m sure he, the HP leads, as well as KS and RP have tons of cash- so they can ride out any dry spells, or just decide to go live on the Rivera😃!
He was a flat-out killer badass in How to Succeed, on Bway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69WpCBLrdSQ
I’ve never even seen a Harry Potter movie, but I was knocked over by him landing these moves live.
To be fair, Garrett has a starring role in an indie opposite Oscar Isaac and the upcoming Pan. I think Tron getting cancelled wasn’t just on him. I’m more surprised that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson aren’t landing big roles for the most part, although I think the fact that the public loves Emma has helped her land stuff like the Beauty and the Beast role. She really needs to prove herself critically though, like Daniel has in his films and theater work. Both Emma and Daniel are very likeable, so that’s one of the reasons I’m surprised they haven’t done better, and HP has given them “positive” baggage.
I think Daniel and Emma are lucky – they’re so so rich they are just acting for pleasure. They can choose whatever they want to do anx never have to work. Daniel does work in theatre a lot – I saw him in a small production in London not long back and he was great! Someone not doing giant Hollywood blockbusters (which are so often terrible) doesn’t mean they haven’t done well, at least according to film connoisseurs (aka not people who love avengers and endless reel of marvel films)
All I can think is “Poor Rupert Grint”. He was consistently the most talented actor in the Harry Potter movies (Daniel Radcliffe got better as he got older, Emma Watson was very charming in the early movies, went into over enunciating and eyebrow wiggling in the middle movies, and then improved significantly with the final movies and her work afterwards).
Radcliffe is very sharp and quirky and he doesn’t seem the type to just take on any blockbuster movie role. He’s in the enviable position of taking on films that suit his taste and he doesn’t need to worry about money or exposure. He’s also gone into TV and theatre so it’s all good there. People tend to rag on Watson’s acting and character on this site but she seems to take on roles that she’s passionate about too. She’s young, attractive and a big name and could play the typical generic Hollywood female sidekick. She seems to have gone in the opposite direction and chosen roles she enjoys as well as focus on university and womens’ rights work.
Kirsten Stewart is adorable. Her street style, not so much. I really don’t see much difference between her street style and Drew Barrymore’s, but Drew really knows how to rock the hippie chic-a little grungy-somewhat preppy-comfortable-yet-clean look like no other. I think Kirsten Stewart does kind of care about style- probably more so than she cares to admit- but she doesn’t know how to pull it off without a stylist.
I favor the skinny jeans as well. I think her street style could be great, really, but it seems to me that she tries so hard to make it look like she’s not trying. I agree that her hair grew out quick, but I don’t believe those are extensions. And even though I think the short hair was a good look for her, she is absolutely stunning with long hair.
Whenever I see Stewart and Cargile in the pap photos, I’m reminded of an item I read in Blind Gossip (yeah, I know…BI’s should always be taken with a grain of salt).
Anyway, it described a young actress who used to be in a high profile franchise who now wants indie cred so,she is very calculating about her image (but wants people to believe the opposite is true) so everything is calculated. Including her pap walks down to the way she is dressed.
The popular guess was Stewart. Stewart would want everyone to think that these outfits are put together with little thought, but actually are very much calculated. I am inclined to believe this one! (LOL!).
That’s such a lazy BI. Every celebrity calculates their behavior to an extent. All of them!
Cosm has almost doubled the box office of the rover and the reviews were far better too. Camp X-ray had better reviews too.
and Ex Machina, Women in Gold, Far from the Madding Crowd, Love & Mercy had a better BO than Sils Maria. And What was Camp X- ray BO? $13.032 LMAO
It was a VOD film about Gitmo that only opened in a handful of theaters and VOD isn’t reported. These comparisons are stupid on all ends, but she’s not wrong in that her films have technically done better than his post Twilight.
And those films also had a better BO than the rover and mtts.
Come on Gretchen – what is with that comparison??
COSM received better reviews overall. The problems with the Rover were pacing and director decisions (per the reviews). It was slow and some didn’t like that. That has nothing to do with Rob. His reviews were on par with Kristen’s reviews for COSM – both of them did extremely well and were highly praised.
What exactly does The Rover have to do with anything? CoSM had rave reviews and an apparent big time award, TV promo and distribution from IFC. I don’t really see why it’s relevant to compare the two films. Stewart is doing better than Rob right now, but don’t forget things looked very different two years ago and they could change again just as quickly.
Exactly. I really don’t understand this business of comparing actors and creating a competition between them. And holding their immediate situations under a microscope and dissecting them to argue one’s point is just ludicrous! All actors’ careers go through ups and downs, their career can only be assessed in hindsight, after many, many years. Look at RDJ, for example!
In a year or two Robert Pattinson might be making back to back films and Kristen Stewart might have a slowdown. Will people then say that his career is more successful than hers?
what’s wrong with the jeans? look comfy.
Okay, let’s not get crazy here. My teens were spent in the 90’s as well but I washed my hair!!! We all did. Fitted t-shirts weren’t a thing until the late 90’s if I remember correctly (or they were really super tight and …. cropped) so they don’t really go with this grunge-y look. But what do I know. All I can think is “Where’s the flannel shirt?”
This look was not cute back then and it’s not cute now but maybe they’re not dressing for cute.
I agree -this is dead on for mid-90s teen style, except the jeans and tees were WAY more baggy, and, yes, hair was generally more brushed and groomed unless you were emulating Cobain’s unkempt hairstyle. Nothing fit anyone in the 90s if they were under 20. It’s definitely not ‘cute’- it’s young, rebellious, IDGAF on purpose, but it’s so funny to see it being rehashed 20 years later.
I don’t know, her career seems fine, but Sparkles seems to have just as interesting projects. To me they seem about even, but neither one of them could hardly be seen as one of the most desirable actors in their age group these days!
@TM- you win the prize for the voice of reason +1000.
More or less. I would say she has an edge, but both are doing fine. Neither one is going to say they don’t want the big movies in interviews because the press always gets snarky on those actors who say such a thing, but I get the vibe that both want the Tim Roth and Sally Hawkins type of career more than the Tom Hiddleston and Emma Stone type of thing at this point.
You may think his projects are jist as interesting as hers but the BO and the critics show Kristen’s films are more successful. Robs movies now are like Kristen’s indies during twi like the runaways and adventureland but she had the bias of twi working against her. Still alice and cosm and even camp X-ray are critically superior to mtts and the rover. Not a dig at him but let’s not pretend rob and kristen are equal right now. She has the upper edge and is working a heck of a lot more than he is. He has barely filmed in over a year.
Gretchen – you are determined to pit them against each other and its people like you that continue this despicable fan war. You cannot let it go can you? Okay, Stewart is the best actress on the planet and is doing way better than Rob. Do you feel better now?
Totally agree with this. Neither are doing as well as many thought/hoped.
I actually think the opposite, that both are doing BETTER than many thought they would do post-Twilight. I think the majority of people thought they’d both fade away and disappear, and many are shocked at how they’re both working with famed auteurs to great critical acclaim.
Kristen is more successful than RPatz, but the comparison isn’t totally fair. She aims high, wants to be famous, likes the accolades and attention. Sparkles, on the other hand, seems to have had enough of the negative experience with fame, I see him deliberately staying away from big movies and spotlight. And the fact that his new girlfriend suffers from his twilight past doesn’t make things better. With that money that he has post-Twilight he can do a lot of interesting creative things on the down-low, like producing, writing, composing or whatever without being in the spotlight and I see him going for that rather than being a movie star.
Who can tell if either wants to be “famous”. Your saying she wants to be famous and he doesn’t could be true. I have heard both say they aren’t in it for awards or fame. If Maps to the Stars had been released last year and the studio had pushed Rob to campaign for awards, he probably would have campaigned. No shame in having pride in your work, for Rob or Kristen.
Rob aims high too, it just doesn’t pan out. He wants his films at Cannes. That isn’t avoiding accolades and certainly isn’t avoiding being famous.
Yes, Rob wants to go to Cannes. And he probably would have been there if Idol’s Eye hadn’t been messed up. The producer mislead Assayas and the thing fell apart at the last minute. This has nothing to do with Rob, but it certainly hurt his plan to go to Cannes. And fyi, Cannes for Rob isn’t about the accolades – it’s about a film festival that he feels is more about artistry and NOT about fame.
All careers have ups and downs. I wouldn’t count him out just yet. His performances and his critical acclaim have only gotten better and better, and he is getting a bit older (great roles for men in their 30’s). His definition of success is probably very different than yours, and different than Kristen’s.
Well, when we’re referring to one by their given name, Kristen, and the other as Rpatz and Sparkles, it sets a certain tone. People are still looking at Robert as a joke on this site (hopefully not elsewhere).
I referred to Rob as Sparkles too, back in the day, but Twi has been over for years.
I’m sorry I didn’t want to sound offensive. I actually like the new couple name “Twigs & Sparkles” which was invented here at CB. And I like him more than Kristen, she’s a dime a dozen despite all her efforts and thirst, when he is really interesting and charismatic, IMO. I wish he went for bigger profile, but, as said above, the definition of success (and happiness) is different for each individual.
ORLY +1
I know Sparkles was invented here at CB, I was around for its inception. I’m not even saying one shouldn’t call him that, I’m just saying if you’re talking about Rob and Kris, Kristen and Robert, Rpatz/Sparkles and Kstew, that’s different than the way it was in your original comment.
No need to apologize, you can say whatever you want, I was merely pointing out the tone.
No one is counting him out anname. I just think based on critics and BO and work that kristen is doing better and not because rob is actively trying to avoid fame, attention or accolades. He has had some misfires either at the BO or with the critics in the past year, doesn’t mean his career is dying or dead.
@Taylor the thirst label can be pinned on anyone. I see just as many pap pictures of Rob. Is he thirsty? Or are the paps following him? Wanting a successful career is not thirsty. Personally I don’t see either Rob or Kristen as being thirsty for attention. I see two actors making the most of the buzz off Twilight. Both have had projects dropped or cancelled. Both are working with great directors and getting praised for their work. They are not in competition for the same roles, they have separate careers.
Gretchen – you are a diehard Kristen fan and I am a diehard Rob fan, so obviously we are going to be at odds, LOL. And I know I am probably quibbling now… but I think you are mischaracterizing the argument. Rob is not avoiding fame or accolades, rather he is avoiding the big studio projects and choosing offbeat and non mainstream projects. Rob is following what he likes, and it’s a risky path. There is a lot more uncertainty in the choices he is making. I think it is more important to Kristen than Rob to maintain her A list status. Two different paths.
@Anname The R-patz fan MO has been: her career is going to be over once Twilight is done. Now that that has´nt happened, they´ve changed to: she´s thirstier than him and trying to maintain her status. If that were the case she wouldn´t even be doing indie films, but most of her recent films started out as indies and were picked up by studios for distribution.Hardly a lot of certainty in her path, she couldn´t have known they would get good distribution when she signed on. Why bother even coming to her thread since you´re an rpatz fan?
@anname a die hard rob fan posting on this thread? Bet the responses here have been pretty disappointing to you and your fellow fans. Kristen did camp X-ray, hardly thirsty. Still alice, hardly thirsty. Cosm, hardly thirsty. But I guess since they were successful, you label them thirsty projects. IMO, lcoz sounds like a thirsty project as does the trap and both cronenberg films. Throw in qotd and the rover too! I remember how thirsty king of Cannes rob was. I am glad you are happy with his career because it seems like his fans are dropping like flies because his work is few and far between.
Gretchen and Abra, I don’t believe Rob or Kristen are “thirsty”. They both are willing to work hard for what they want, but I think they want different things. I think Kristen wants to be an A list actress, she feels a passion for it. I don’t think Rob is really driven by that, and he isn’t sure whether he has that same passion. (I referenced that interview in an earlier comment, where they talked about this.) Their career paths will be different.
She is talented and will have a successful career, there is no reason I would wish her to fail. No one is forcing me to go see her movies. I was never one of those fans who hated her and claimed she wasn’t talented. I used to love them together, but her cheating on him really changed my opinion of her personally.
I am on this thread because Rob is being discussed. I don’t like to see untrue things being said, you Kristen fans love to present the worst possible interpretation of Rob. And then there is Gretchen making up roles that he supposedly lost. When Rob fans say untrue things about Kristen, you all are very quick to respond, so I don’t think there is any mystery why I am here, keeping my comments respectful and on topic.
Okay……I guess my comments were deleted because I said I don’t see the point in putting RPattz in KStew posts and vice-versa?
She doesn’t have a distinctive street-style, but none of the actresses do nowadays. She looks fine though, like a normal hipster. I like her and am pleasantly surprised at how good her career is going. She’s in an upcoming Kelly Reichardt film with Michelle Williams that might get released this fall, American Ultra which sounds dumb but the trailer looks fun, and an ensemble role in an Ang Lee film plus another Assayas film. She’s not one of the most in-demand actors, but she has solid indie cred and is doing really well…especially considering all the tabloid and Twilight baggage that she’s mostly managed to overcome. I think that Caesar really helped her plus the good reviews she received for her post-Twilight movies, and that she’s been smart in doing a variety of films from supporting roles in mainstream films and indies to tiny indies.
What do you guys define as “mom jeans”? Honest question. I see a lot of photos where people label outfits as “mom jeans” and yet often the jeans in question appear (to my eyes) to be quite different styles. So now I’m wondering if I’m walking around in them without realizing it.
Usually high waisted jeans, no? That’s what I often see when that label is used. Or non skin tight jeans, maybe with a straight cut leg?
Yeah it’s pretty damn silly. What are people saying? Mothers are unfashionable, old, sexless, open to mockery? Not sure what makes a “mum jean”. It’s just another label to make small people feel superior. Also pretty sexist! Please show me what a dad jean is and let’s shame guys for wearing those.
She looks hot and is 25 years old. She can wear whatever she wants.
Kristen looks annoyed with Alicia in these pics… trouble in paradise?
Where is this notion that her roles are all small coming from? She’s been mixing them up. Some, like Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and Still Alice are smaller (if anyone read the book the former is based on, you’ll know that even if it’s small, it’s still a great role and significant). But she was lead in Camp X-Ray, co-lead in American Ultra and Equals, big supporting role/ borderline co-lead in Sils Maria, and supposedly a co-lead or big supporting part in the upcoming Woody Allen. Not to mention the star of her follow-up with Olivier Assayas in Personal Shopper. Mostly indies, yes, and it’s serving her very well. She hasn’t lead a big budget film since Snow White, but I could see that changing if American Ultra becomes the hit it looks like it will be.
Those jeans are totally my kind of jeans. They look comfy as hell. I bet her butt looks great. Sometimes well-slung loose jeans are better for a butt than super tight skinny jeans.
Another poster said those are 501’s. Anyone else remember sitting in the bathtub in their new 501’s or was that just my crowd? Oh my god. I am old AF.
Support group: you are not alone. I sat in the tub with my friend, and we played cards on a tv tray waiting for the magic to happen.
Breaking Dawn pt 2 was on yesterday and I realized it was put out in 2012. Look at how many actors from that franchise have fallen off the map. Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart seem to have the most potential. I think Rob turned in a good performance in The Rover but I can’t say I have enjoyed anything else he has been in. The Lost City of Z sounds promising, although with Cumberbatch dropping out I am not sure it that bodes well.
Kristen is just smarter. She picks roles where she plays herself. Nothing wrong with that btw but shes better at playing to herself then stepping out of her box. She has a very aggressive pr team behind her. Rob on the other hand just seems lazy. He was doing really well with cosmopolis, and the rover gained him amazing reviews. Now he just seems to only care about his gf. Not really nothing left to be a fan of because hes not doing anything.
@Lu, what a snarly comment to call Rob lazy (Kristen fan) and to say that he only has time for his girl friend. Do you know him personally to know what projects he is currently seeking? Idol Eyes was cancelled (because of questionable actions of studio executives). I don’t believe he would want you as a fan.
aw c’mon…those are 501s….button fly……classic. nothing better that a well broken in pair.
What is WRONG with mom jeans????
Why do celebrities ALWAYS have to wear designer clothes while out to get coffee???
I am just praying for the continued, well-deserved death of acid-washed anything; please, fashion gods, don’t let that be the next zombie from mistakes past to return & roam amongst us.
I wanna be a paparazzi. I already some cool spots; like Venice Beach. The Kardashian house. Or houses. I know nothing about them. Kristen is easy. The paps just know Sunset in Silver Lake is her turf and if they are going for coffee, the paps get lots of money for their pics.
Is anyone else getting a Samantha Ronson Lindsay Lohan vibe here?
because all lesbian relationships are the same? what do you mean?
kstew did decent movies pre-twilight (speak, panic room, into the wild). she’s been doing this forever. now she’s taking on great small roles. clouds of sils maria, camp x-ray, still alice. idk why everyone is still so shocked that she’s doing lowkey interesting stuff.
it sucks that so much of the media/the world’s opinion of kstew begins and ends with twilight & her romantic life.
Like Daniel Radcliff and Emma Watson, Kristen and Rob made millions and millions. They don’t have to work and can pick and choose what movies, if any they want to make. Bad luck has plagued Rob’s latest projects, but that happens to all actors. He might be focusing on his music or he could start filming tomorrow. I wish fans of Rob and Kristen would stop linking them and maybe the media will stop. Both seem more that happy with their current lives.
Didn’t realise that whenever I’m walking down the street in jeans and a t-shirt that I’m “rocking a style”, but okay then!
Me either. But that’s good to know! 🙂
