Here are some new photos of Kristen Stewart yesterday in LA. She was at the Four Seasons… maybe for a business meeting? Does Kristen Stewart do business meetings in skinny jeans, a crop top and a baseball cap? Perhaps. She might wear that to business meetings so that producers and directors absolutely know what they’re getting when they hire her. In which case, those producers and directors should run screaming. More likely Kristen was doing some press in advance of the limited release of On the Road, which comes out in December (at least according to IMDB). Or maybe she was at the hotel to meet a married lover on the downlow? Hahaha. It’s funny because the lesson she learned is “don’t bang married dudes in your Mini Cooper.” And this is totally what she would wear for a downlow “momentary indiscretion”.

There are some random Twihardy stories going around this week, none of which I think are particularly notable or true. The Sun claims that Kristen won Sparkles back by making him a video montage about how much she loved him – I seriously doubt that. And Hollywood Life/New Magazine claims that Kristen and Rob are going to spend Thanksgiving in Australia because why not?

After a turbulent few months, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reportedly plan seal their reunion with a romantic trip to Australia — once they’ve completed their promotional tour for Breaking Dawn Part 2 this November, of course.

This will be their first vacation together since Kristen’s affair with Rupert Sanders came to light. This trip could be exactly what the couple needs, as Rob still has trust issues with Kristen. A source tells new! magazine that Rob, 26, and Kristen, 22, “have been talking about spending Thanksgiving together next month, ideally with her family in Australia. [Kristen] wants things back on track as quickly as possible.”

Just last week, Rob was in Australia to promote the latest Twilight film, but his trip was brief and it seems that he wishes to return for a longer vacation. And if this trip is a success, Kristen and Rob plan to make their reunion even more permanent, as they wish to move in together in Kristen’s Los Feliz home.

The source adds: “There’s talk that they will be home together again with their beloved dog Bear in LA by Christmas, but at Kristen’s new four bedroom home. They want to give it another go and try living in her house for a while.”

The source also adds that “the thing with them both going forward is that they want to have as many holidays and as much low-key time together as possible”.

Haha, imagine flying all the way to Australia just to get dumped. I WISH that would happen. Make Kristen go on some grueling 12-hour flight and then send her a singing breakup telegram at the Sydney airport. Sigh… as much as I hope that Sparkles & K-Stew aren’t together by Christmas, I think we need to prepare ourselves, Team Rob girls.

These are some new photos of Kristen Stewart at two events yesterday. The red carpet photos are from an industry screening of Snow White and the Huntsman, and the photos where Kristen is wearing the red jacket are from a Q&A session at Universal with Sam Claflin (sidenote about Sam: WORST PANTS-WEARER EVER). Kristen’s screening outfit is Stella McCartney. Thoughts? I kind of hate it, as I almost always hate Stella’s hideous designs. I really don’t know why Kristen does anything with a high neck. High neck + bad posture = slouchy, uncomfortable.

As for that red jacket – it’s Balenciaga. Also kind of rough. It looks so dated, like it belongs in a Michael Jackson music video. I tend to think Kristen is still learning, still trying out different looks, but I also think she’s getting some bad advice sometimes, and she doesn’t know her own strengths.

Anyway, if you couldn’t tell, there are about a million Kristen stories and Charlize Theron stories – because SWATH is opening up this weekend, so it’s the final push. You can read excerpts from Kristen’s Interview Magazine piece here – she actually impressed me a bit in that magazine. She came across as bright, although lacking in eloquence perhaps. The only other story of interest (to me) is Kristen’s “review” of her sparkly lover’s latest film:

Memo to Kristen Stewart: If this whole movie-star thingy doesn’t work out, maybe you can give film criticism a shot. The Snow White and the Huntsman star, who recently took Cannes by storm with a PDA-filled romp with Robert Pattinson, was asked by MTV News to weigh in on his new flick, Cosmopolis, which received a splashy premiere at the fest. So did the famously private star pull a Roger Ebert and get those movie thumbs ready for critical action?

“He’s so good in it! Really, really,” K.Stew raved.

“I don’t even know how he…,” she continued, clearly at a loss for words. “I couldn’t even understand it. It’s so good, it’s so cool. I’m so proud of him.”

The couple has slowly started to loosen up about their discreet romance. Earlier this month, Stewart chatted with Elle magazine about Pattinson’s other 2012 flick, Bel Ami, and the two publicly supported each other in Cannes, where her own film, On the Road, premiered. The duo were later spotted locking lips at the flick’s after-party.

No surprise, then, that K.Stew copped to having a blast at the glamorous French film fest.

“It’s the ultimate celebration,” she said. “I was so oddly placed in my body, which I’m very unable to do. I was so not nervous. I had the greatest time—it was, like, so cool.”

I have something nice to say about Kristen and Sparkles… Twihards, pay attention! I like that both Kristen and Sparkles support each other’s careers. I think it’s incredibly sweet that Pattinson always talks up Kristen as an actress, and it’s clear that he thinks she’s very talented. It’s nice that Kristen is his cheerleader too. I like that there doesn’t seem to be any drama about competing careers and “who has the bigger film” and all of that stuff.

One last nice thing: Kristen’s makeup person is AMAZING. Something bad: whoever did her hair for the screening should be fired.

New photos of Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron! Somehow, they managed to only do a photo call in Berlin yesterday, and they didn’t have a premiere…? I can’t find the photos if there was a Berlin premiere. So they’re on to their next stop: Madrid! These are the pics from the Madrid photo call. Charlize is wearing this red Giambattista Valli which… I’m not sure about. It’s a great color on her, for sure. And I like the idea of it. But the execution, with the puffy shoulder embellishments – it’s kind of rough on her tall, broad figure. It makes her look top-heavy and football-player-ish. Kristen’s dress is BCBG Max Azaria. It’s cute… eh. I would like it better without the leather faux-suspenders. Beyond that, it’s a silhouette that Kristen goes to all too often – the sleeveless, half-shift minidress. Accessorized by bad posture. It’s just kind of meh.

Incidentally, while promoting SWATH, Kristen was asked by Celebuzz about all of those casting rumors regarding 50 Shades of Grey. As you know, 50 Shades was based on Twilight fan-fiction, and the book is completely AWFUL. But, as I said, it was written with Kristen and Sparkles in mind. So what does Kristen think about it?

Kristen says: “I haven’t read the book yet– so I don’t know…I’m dying to make another movie with Rob, I think that we’re a good team… I just haven’t read it, so I don’t know what it is, but I would love to work with him again.” Sure. Fine. If Kristen and Sparkles get wrangled into this mess, that would be fine with me. Just keep g–damn Michael Fassbender OUT OF IT.

Kristen Stewart attended the Met Gala last night. Do you find that shocking? You shouldn’t. Kristen is now the face of Balenciaga, and Nicolas Ghesquiere (I think that’s him) was her date. So… what do I like about this look? Two things. One, I really like her hair. It’s not particularly high-fashion or anything, and yes, it’s not right for the event, but I think her hair looks great here. Great color, great body, and I just love the curl. Two, I like that Kristen is actually trying, experimenting and having fun with fashion. She’s young – she has time to make big fashion mistakes, and I do like her more for trying.

That being said, this look is awful. Everything is just horrible – and it’s not Kristen’s fault. Sort of. I would imagine that as Ghesquiere’s date/muse and the official face of Balenciaga, Kristen would have had her choice, her pick. I don’t believe that Ghesquiere MADE her wear this. But he probably encouraged it, which makes this mostly his fault. As a designer, I feel he should have made a real choice here: color-block or reptile print. NOT BOTH. Put the two together, and you’ve just made a pretty young woman look like a color-blind crackie.

Also terrible: Kristen’s shoes. It looks like she’s wearing her beloved Converse, only in hideous bandage form.

Last Friday when my daughter and I headed to the theater to watch The Hunger Games, she secured the essential top-row seats while I stood in the very long line for popcorn. Once in the theater, she informed me that I’d missed the new teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 but that it was no big deal because she was “so over it already.” At first, I was a bit shocked by this statement since she’s firmly Team Edward and even has a cardboard cutout of His Sparkliness in her bedroom. Now I know what she’s talking about because this teaser trailer is really lame. Here it is, and we’ll discuss afterwards:

Okay, so CB and I both think the part where Bella is stalking that poor little deer is pretty damn funny, but I can’t grasp whether or not Summit Entertainment intends this to be funny or if they’re actually trying to make this movie seem scary. After all, the promotional strategy of Breaking Dawn – Part I was much sharper than the movie itself — and it was the trailer’s blatant hilarity of a busted headboard and Jacob ripping off his shirt and wolfing out that led to a $138 million opening weekend. In contrast, this teaser features more “romantic” glimpses of Bella’s wedding/engagement ring, Edward making another one of his silly “romantic” statements, and Taylor Lautner nipping out as Jacob. Maybe the next trailer will have more campiness to offer since this one fails miserably, but if you’ve read the books, you know as well as I do that nothing of great consequence will happen in this installment unless Summit starts adding sh-t to the story.

Although I do remain vaguely mused with the part where Bambi’s about to get it. Not that this will necessarily pull people into the theater.

OK! Magazine’s cover story is devoted to the would-be romance between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It’s called “YES! They’re In Love” and has a picture from R-Pattz and K-Stew’s MTV Movie Award “Best Kiss” win, where they totally left the audience hanging. Sidenote: The best part about the cover is Robert Pattinson’s gorgeous profile, where I can stare at his jawline to my heart’s content.

Anyway, the story seems, for the most part, based on my observation (and everyone else’s) that Robert Pattinson is just itching to get with K-Stew, and she’s making him beg for it. Yesterday, we heard from an unnamed source that R-Pattz is “obsessed” with K-Stew, but unfortunately, OK! doesn’t have such expressive unnamed sources. The best they’ve got is “Although [Robert] knew Kristen had a boyfriend, he made no secret of the fact that he was crazy about her…. The problem is, she’s torn between her onscreen and off-screen loves.” Yeah, right. I don’t think Kristen is “torn” about anything:

As Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart took the stage to accept the prize for Best Kiss at the May 31 MTV Movie Awards, the apparent hormonal combustion ignited Universal City’s Gibson Amphitheatre and flew out over the airwaves to 5.3 million viewers worldwide.

Ditching his chewing gum, the smoldering Robert braced himself for a steamy smooch with his onscreen paramour; Kristen stood hands on hips, seemingly daring him on. They drew closer, and Rob’s lips parted, while the erotic heat built to an unbearable pitch.

Then, at the last second, “Bella the Reluctant Virgin” demurred and pulled away, leaving “Edward the Conflicted Vampire” … dangling.

“Thank you sooo much,” Stewart told the audience, sounding every bit the 19-year-old from L.A.

Were all those feverish pheromones for real, or were the onscreen lovers merely doing their best to create a romantic Hollywood illusion? Rumors have been rampant that the introverted, guitar-playing Rob, a 23-year-old Brit who is arguably filmdom’s foremost fantasy, has been nursing an unrequited passion for his leading lady, who has been dating actor Michael Angarano, 21, for five years.

“Robert and Kristen spent a lot of time alone together when they filmed the first Twilight movie — they’d stay up most of the night talking, laughing, playing music,” a friend of Stewart tells OK!. “Although [Robert] knew Kristen had a boyfriend, he made no secret of the fact that he was crazy about her.”

Clearly, there is a mutual attraction.

“Kristen and Robert hit it off the minute they were introduced,” Kristen’s friend says.

“When they auditioned together for the first time [back in 2007], sparks flew. The problem is, she’s torn between her onscreen and off-screen loves.”

Michael, for his part, has had enough of the scuttlebutt. “A lot of guys would not be as understanding as Michael has been,” says the friend. “But one thing Michael is not quite as understanding of is all the gossip about her and Pattinson.”

[From OK! Magazine]

Yeah, Michael’s going to be out of the boyfriend business very soon if Robert Pattinson keeps looking at Kristen longingly and adoringly, with those smoldering eyes. Sigh. I love teenage romance drama. And this is real, too! It’s not like the old-school Britney Spears-Justin Timberlake crap, which was like two corporations fighting over a product launch. The K-Stew/R-Pattz drama feels … authentic. Like there’s real emotion, longing and sexual attraction behind it. That’s just my reading of it, though.

Kristen Stewart also sat down with Interview Magazine, in an interview conducted by Jon Favreau (the actor/director, not the Obama speechwriter). It pretty boring, but you can read the full interview here. These are some of the highlights:

“Well, this is never something that I sought out. For most actors, it’s such a struggle to get work. Once they have it, they feel that there’s an enormous amount of pressure on them to make it work, and have everyone love them. In my case, it was never like that. It was just about working with the people that I want to work with, and telling the stories that I want to tell, you know? And, you’re right, it was also because my whole family is involved in the entertainment industry in some way. My brother’s a grip. My mom’s a scriptwriter. My dad’s a director. So it’s like, at heart I’m a below-the-line girl.”

“It’s funny. When I stopped going to school, I got the strongest dose of perspective. When you’re a kid, your friends, your school, your teachers, your family-that’s your whole world, your whole existence. And then when I stopped going, I lost all my friends but the few that were really close to me. And I still maintain those friendships. My friends who are still going to school are still totally caught up in it. When they graduate, they’re going to experience the exact same thing that I did. I just went through it when I was in the seventh grade as opposed to the twelfth.”

[From Interview Magazine]

Have I been reading K-Stew wrong? Perhaps she’s not the snotty brat I thought she was, she’s just a bright, self-sufficient girl who isn’t into all of the “Young Hot Starlet” stuff. As time passes, and it’s clear that she still hasn’t put out for R-Pattz, I find that I really have to give her credit for not falling for the first British guy with a great jawline. She’s a better woman than me.

Robert Pattinson was seen looking ripped and a little sick on the set of New Moon in Italy yesterday. The 23 year-old Vampire-playing heartthrob took off his shirt and sported painted-on spots for a scene in which he kisses his on-screen human love interest, played by Kristen Stewart. Pattinson is so buff it looks like his abs are painted on. I’m beginning to see his appeal.

I don’t pay a lot of attention to the Twilight-related gossip, but Kaiser reported a story yesterday in which a random woman who met Pattinson at a party in Cannes was sort-of claiming to have hooked up with him. It didn’t seem likely to be true, and it looked like the girl was hoping to get some mileage out of being photographed sitting next to Pattinson.

There are all sorts of rumors that Robert and Kristen are hooking up, but that just seems to be based on the fact that the younger cast members party together. Kristen has a long term boyfriend, Michael Angarano, who In Touch reported earlier this month “has been on the New Moon set almost every day.” I wonder if he’s in Italy and if he saw these kissing scenes being shot. You can understand why people think Kirsten and Robert might have something going on. They look pretty cute together and seem to have good chemistry.
