The photo above is of Kristen Stewart arriving in Paris, probably to start promotion on Snow White and the Huntsman. Charlize Theron was coming into Paris in those photos yesterday, which makes me think Paris is going to be ground zero for all things SWATH this week. Maybe there will be a big Paris premiere? Hopefully. At the end of the post, I’m also including photos of Kristen at the Met Gala and just before the Met Gala, in NYC. Kristen’s Met Gala look was one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the night… which I think is kind of undeserved. I didn’t care for her Balenciaga dress that much, but she was far from the worst, I think. Plus, I’m really loving her hair these days. She’s lightened it a bit, and she’s letting her natural curl come out. It looks awesome.
Anyway, getting back to SWATH. MTV has been promoting the crap out of this film, and they’ve gotten a lot of the early exclusives. I enjoyed this interview they had with the cast of SWATH:
Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog
Kristen talks about relating to “Snowy”: “I think that I related to Snowy because … I love her. She feels such strong things and sort of can’t say exactly why she feels those things … and I can completely relate to that and I also can relate to feeling arrogant about it a little bit. Sort of like ‘It’s not about being who you are; it’s sort of not saying what everyone thinks I’m going to say because I’m uncomfortable’ … She’s like very instinctive and sort of awesome in that way. I mean she’s such a child in the beginning and has such a strong sense of self in a way that sort of isn’t normal, like supernaturally almost. She’s got this connection to the Earth and to her people that makes her like so truly empathetic and not sympathetic. She’s not putting herself in a position and going, ‘Oh, how horrible would that be for me.’ She’s truly bleeding for other people. It’s a different feeling. It’s something I want to get to if I can be a better person. She’s a great girl. She’s a good person.”
There’s also a new clip from SWATH:
That didn’t impress me. Now I’m kind of worried.

‘sort’ is the new ‘like’?
maybe it’s just the data-wrangler/overworked-underpaid-statistician in me, but the word “sort” just made me break out in hives.
God, she is the worst actress in the world. She is like the Andrew McCarthy of the 2000’s with her two expressions.
Why and how does she get any roles at all?
she’s awful in TWILIGHT movies but she’s well-casted in WELCOME TO THE RILEYS and THE RUNAWAYS
her trouble is that she “smokes exotic” too much :she always looks stoned
Agreed! The only role she’ll be half-way believable in is as a store front mannequin. But then she won’t really be acting will she?
A BIG + 1.
she cannot show any emotion ¿why is she so well paid for?
I think twilight is so awful, but Cake Eaters and the Runaways were pretty impressive. Especially Cake Eaters, is was really moving especially from a young actor.
She was TERRIBLE in The Runaways! Absolutely awful. It’s hard to make someone as charismatic and talented as Joan Jett seems so souless, uninteresting and one-dimensional but Stewart managed to achieve this. And the saddest part is that role should have been right up Stewart’s alley. She really could have used her natural awkward and rebellious rock-n-roll vibe to turn out a solid performamce but she failed miserably. I don’t think she’s the worst actress out there but she has yet to earn her stripes.
Jesus christ, the girl CAN act.
Like it or not, she did the best she could with Twilight, awful books that could only result in awful movies.
But she has had a career much longer and she can fucking act. Getting really damn tired of the constant “lip-bite acting” comments on here from people who couldn’t act their way out of a box.
Well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion man
Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue!
hahahaha “the Andrew McCarthy of the 2000s” is the best description of this chick I’ve ever seen. I’ll be using it from now on. 🙂
I sort of get what you …like…mean
The hot bitch Theron is the only reason why am going to watch SWATH, love her .
Ditto.
Watching Oscar winner Charlize is just an afterthought for me after realizing that Chris Hemsworth is in this movie… yummy!
still don’t like the met gala outfit at all.
Oh boy, she really can’t express herself can she? That whole statement gave me a headache. Like, you know?
YES!! That was so freakin tedious to read! I read it twice and I still don’t get what she’s saying. Gurl needs some vocabulary lessons (not to mention acting lessons) and maybe she’ll able to express her feelings correctly/accurately. Or at all. That being said, I don’t mind Lippy McBitey. She seems like a good kid but not at all a great actress. Then again with material like Twilight, how could you really polish THAT turd?
I guess her teachers really did fail her. I don’t even know where to start dissecting this article. Her acceptance of the fact that she cannot express herself, the incorrect word choice, the casual vibe that she has about her own stupidity. I just cannot fathom why people like her, her zombie poses. I just cannot decide.
Part of it is probably that she knows exactly what everyone thinks of her and feels unworthy of being in the public eye because she’s a terrible actress and a terrible public personality.
She knows that it’s all a big charade and has difficulty pretending it isn’t.

Semper Froid!
That’s kind of strange to feel “arrogant” about not being able to express her feelings. Frustrated maybe, but arrogant?
Hmmm… either she means she thinks she’s awesome because she can’t articulate her thoughts (or emote on camera), or her “all my teachers failed me” is showing!
And her feet look like trotters in those horrible bandage shoes…
I don’t think vocabulary or communication are her strong suits…..
Her teachers, like, really did fail her…
“Arrogant” makes no sense.
Arrogance: Having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities
So she has an “exaggerated sense of her own ability” to be unable to express herself?
!!!
😀
I just want to pat her head when she says she wants to be a writer. Sweetheart, focus on making any little bit of sense when you speak.
I mean … I erm sort of … you know like … she doesn’t. She’s vicarious and dichotomous … and I can be stirred by her unmoved all over feelings that she wants to reveal. But can’t. I sort … of like feel discombobulated by it. All very Hemingway.
OMG!!!!
Best comments ever! Too F**kg hilarious!
So funny 🙂 I can’t stop laughing
Now we know why her teachers failed her!
Everyone knows I’m a Kstew fan…but she seriously does not know how to interview. She tries to hard and I always cringe a little after reading excerpts. She really is her own worse enemy. Oh..but her skin is so gorgeous…major skin envy!
she wasn’t at ease clearly in interviews
After observing Kristen for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that she is socially autistic. She can never get comfortable enough to express herself.
I like her too, but I find it so difficult to follow her interviews. I hope she gets better at doing them.
Also, I honestly don’t think she’s that bad of an actress: she’s not the worst actress in the world, just probably one of the most overpaid.
But I get why people are angry about her being so much on the “Hollywood” radar. She’s more “not good enough for” than “not good at all”.
Come on, she was the worst, or very close to it. What part is there to like? The unflattering leather color-block skirt? The ill-fitting snake print top? Those hideous shoes? Sorry, but it was all hideous.
She’s a pretty girl, but she can’t pose or wear clothes well at all.
Agree, she was def the worst. Ya she has good hair,but her hair at the met was her everyday look. Nothing special. Totally inappropriate for the night. Her shoes were so hideous, as well!
The Met gala outfit is not good. It is made worse by her poor posture and her “they made me come to this party and I don’t want to be here” look that mirrors that of a spoiled 12 year old. I’ve made this comment before about her on the red carpet but it just keeps happening. She seems to live in stylist hell. Why can’t they dress her to look like she’s comfortable??
I haven’t seen every single outfit, but that frickin’ thing is one of the ugliest dresses I’ve seen in a while. If I were Balenciago I’d have cut the label out. The shoes were awful as well.
I have no idea what she’s trying to say…And what is it that we all expect her to say? Why is she uncomfortable?
For the record, I don’t hate her. But I do hate transcribing her interviews (mostly because of incomplete sentences.) Someone forwarded me a blind from cdan yesterday, which is supposedly about her. If any of this is even remotely true, then it’s very sad.
Kristen said in the past, that she has refused studio offers to get coaching on how to handle media and answer questions, etc. Perhaps a bit of coaching would help her become more comfortable, since she has been doing this for years and clearly, experience isn’t helping.
Wasn’t CDAN the site that was recently proven to make up most their blind items?
Yup, the CDAN guy was “revealed” to be pretty much a sham and his stuff is bogus.
Out of curiosity I did check out the blind @another nina mentioned and it reads like some kind of crazy twihard fan fiction you see on message boards. Then again he always had a disclaimer on his site saying he has the right to just make stuff up.
Yes, there was an article in nypost but in my opinion it did not prove much. Initially, I was told about cdan by a producer in Hollywood (not a major player), then I realized that many people in several production crews read it as well…I don’t know whether talent reads it, but probably yes. The most interesting part of it is in comments section, and it’s not about gossip, it’s about a “culture” of production. Standards seem to differ so much from real world… Anyway, something has changed about cdan several months ago (well before RDJ speculations), and it’s possible that the original crew has left, too.
Nina, right, now I remember. RDJ’s publicist debunked a blind that everyone in the comments had thought was about RDJ.
Do you think CDAN has now cleaned up their act?
As Mia Girl said, he still has that disclaimer.
That would be a huge mess if it were true.
Orly, he would never change a disclaimer, it’s his definite protection against getting sued. Even ny post article suggested that it’s virtually impossible to get an action against him. I tend to think that the original enty sold the business or part of business ’cause it has a different vibe, and many original commentators (is is how it’s called?) left as well. Plus now there is an overabundance of pr people. Still something interesting pops up from time to time. I tend to believe that the spirit of nikki reed has visited it at least once 😉 I was hoping she would grace it with this blind but no such luck.
I’m not a regular reader of CDAN, I just pop by when there is a blind such as this that gets passed around.
I think that there is often a bit of truth masked in a wad of falsities when it comes to celeb “news”.
He is smart to keep the disclaimer because some of that shit is explosive.
There was that RDJ thing and then that Hunger Games blind. It was ridiculously detailed and just like some fantasy fan fiction. Those might be fun to read, but they are so over the top as to not to be believed – nor does he have to be right about any of it.
Bottom line – his disclaimer protects him because it gives him the right to make stuff up… “…certain situations, characters and events portrayed in the Blog are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.”
Since the NY Post article, most sites/blogs don’t even link to CDAN blinds anymore. Blind Gossip even wrote their own thing about him being a liar.
mia girl – I’m not trying to protect cdan at all (and I think that hunger games’ blind was a total b/s) but I would not necessarily believe what competitors say about each other.
Nina – Nah, I dont think you are trying to protect CDAN at all. I completely see what you are saying, and think he took things up a notch to the point where it was pretty obvious he was just making stuff up. And he got called on it.
I pointed out Blind Gossip bc while yes, they have their own blinds, they mostly link/re-post from other sites. The used quite a bit of CDANs stuff in the past, but will no longer. Its been a long time since I’ve seen CB link to anything CDAN either.
didn’t somebody vote this dumbass best dressed?
I don’t really get what she’s trying to say. That movie looks awesome though, can’t wait to see it.
+1
Have no idea what she is trying to say. The clip was good.
I was until I saw all the monster fighting stuff. Now it looks like a run of the mill piece of crap. Too bad; it looked like an inventive take on it.
She has become such a silly fad. Tweens hang on to the strangest things. The haters are worse than the tweens though. She has become a fad for them too. They love discussing her. Her dress was just bland. Not really worth discussing. There were far worse outfits at the gala.
Apart from Beyonce’s, which was worse than Stewart’s?
How about Gwyneth Paltrow’s?
ummm… what? well, at least Charlize will be good..
WTF is she trying to say? That whole excerpt was just confusing. And bitch, youre playing Snow White. What is there to analyze about a fairytale character? How much did they change the story here?
As for her arrogance for not being able to express herself: that’s just like an idiot college freshman art major who’s arrogant about no one understanding their work. There’s nothing there to understand in reality, but because they are “creative” and “an artist” that’s the worlds problem and not theirs. It gives them a false superiority and depth. As an artist you strive for communication, THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. granted, even then not everyone will get it. But patting yourself on the back because you lack the skills to get an identifiable message across is some hipster-douchebag, lady gaga bullshit. Not truly artistic. True artists know exactly what their art is about.
your artist comment? it was the best definition of james franco I’ve ever heard. hearted for it!
^^^^^^^
This!!!! To the ength degree guuurrrl. Well said and well said. Thank you!…..cant stand that feux humility bs and all of her idiotic affectedness. Ugh…….I really wish most of these actors would please stfu…..It ruins it for me to go see them. Alfrd Hitchcock said that actors really should keep their mouths closed when not acting.
I don’t understand how this girl has a career in Hollywood …and am quite sure that there are hundreds (thousands) of more talented and appealing people waiting tables who would give their right arm for the opportunities she’s had.
Her mother is in the business.
Her father is in the business, work for E during long time and her godfather/mother’s mother is a big name in Paramount. So she is born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
well, her parents are industry insiders but they are at blue color positions (script supervisor and stage manager), so nothing close to decision-makers.
Nepotism
I have no idea what she just said. In any case, SWATH looks amazing & I can’t wait to see it.
Why are they showing so LITTLE of Stewart when she is the title character? It like Universal has no confidence in her ability to do the role; and it that’s the case why did Universal hire her?
Since the ability to effectively engage in self expression is the bread and butter of all artists and art forms, including actors and acting, I believe we have solved the mystery of why KS can’t act for sh*t.
Exactly!
I think the word you are looking for dear kstew, is IGNORANT. And Yes, you are.
I think if you dig a little deeper, you will find a lot of ignorant/idiotic people in Hollywood…but who’s getting the last laugh?
Yeah. The studio needs to keep the adult marketing to Theron and Hansworth. K-Stew needs to stick with the teen market and nothing else. How long has she been at this?
That clip was…not encouraging. Then again exactly no one will be surprised that she is the weak link of his movie.
She really needs to work on her interviews. God, even press-hating Christian Bale can give a pretty damn good, funny, and interesting interview. There is no excuse. I mean DeNiro is a pretty bad interview… but at least he is DeNiro!
If the critics see Bella with a British accent in this movie, they’ll crucify her. And if this movie doesn’t open at #1 at the box office, she’ll be blamed.
What I’m getting from this is that;
#1 she has thoughts and feelings about things (film projects?) that she doesn’t express in interviews and she’s happy that she keeps some of herself private.
#2 at the same time she doesn’t want to say things that aren’t true just because they are expected of her
so she can’t say what she really feels and won’t lie about it either. Hence the lack enthusiasm for Twilight?
some people aren’t that great at articulating thoughts, I think that sort of thing comes with age or just really thinking about how you feel and getting practice in interviews/discussions.
She gets enough practice but somes peoples minds really just are all over the place. Sometimes I try and tell an anecdote or explain something and it just comes out a mess of ‘sort of’ and ‘do you know what i mean’
I think you need to be hired as “The Kstew Translator”.
You could go on tour with her and everything.
In the meantime, I appreciate you breaking it down for us, truthfully.
“The KStew Translator” – priceless! 🙂
Spot on analysis AND hahahhaahh!!
I’m a fan, but never watched TwiSh-t.
Ha ha. I second that! Please come on every post that is about her and translate what she says for the rest of us plebians.
shaboo – you make her sound smart, deep and relevant. I think she needs to share her millions with you.
Your translation was brilliant. Thank you 🙂
If anyone can tell me what she meant at all I’d be grateful. I agree with some of the other posters. I’m only seeing this for Theron who is going to be amazing as the dark queen. She’s funny and quick witted. I wanted the interviewer to go back to her.
Stewart’s only gift as an actress is being beautiful and being able to look vulnerable once in a while. She’s not your typical “airhead” but she isn’t bright by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve yet to see an interview with her where she said one thing that made sense. She tries so hard to come off as deep and intellectual but she uses words in the wrong context and it just comes off as bizarre. Also, she needs to seriously stop using the word “sort” and “like” every five minutes.
Exactly! I agree with every word.
Attractive? Maybe. Beautiful? No.
I think she’s rather beautiful and photogenic. She has a certain magnetism in print. I think she’d do better as a model. The moment she opens her mouth on screen I cringe but I won’t take away the fact that I think she’s attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.
Kristen Stewart is skinnyfat and prettyugly.
I think instead of arrogant, she might have meant ambivalent (although, she comes across more apathetic).
Theron is according to some people who saw the film barely in the movie but they are using mostly her for promo since Stewart sucks. I see nothing storywise but only special effects.
I think the arrogance part probably refers to the feeling of thinking twilight is really dumb during interviews for it and not saying anything about it.
according to dictionary.com,
“arrogant” means: insolently (disrespectfully/brazenly; departing from custom-ly) proud.
“I can also related feeling arrogant about it a little bit. Sort of like ‘It’s not about being who you are; it’s sort of not saying what everyone thinks I’m going to say because I’m uncomfortable’”
So i guess, she meant that it’s really not about who she is, or who people think she is.
I guess it’s about being tongue-in-cheek proud, to be able to *not* say what people expect you to say/do/think, or even meet these people’s expectations, because she is not comfortable with these expectations.
This is connected to the part about her being instinctive and having a strong sense of self, I suppose. There’s something insolently gratifying to be able to eff with people’s mind, I guess.
Here’s a review from somebody who has seen SWATH.
I saw the film today at a screening. Here’s what I can tell you. The film is okay. A B at best. The two biggest problems are that most of its best elements, (the cinematography, the score, the art direction), seem borrowed from better or at least other films. The second problem is that the movie is very very dark, so when it undercuts itself with some cheeky humor, it just seems out of place. With that in mind, I definitely enjoyed it, but it is by no means great. Let me put some speculation to rest though… Charlize Theron will not be anywhere near contention in the Oscar race. I love the actress to death and think she was robbed of a nom last year for Young Adult, but she does little more than ham it up in this role. I actually think it is more the director’s fault than anything else. Whenever anybody yells, (really… anyone), it comes off as silly and heavy-handed. Kristen Stewart continues her streak of not quite knowing how to emote. Chris Hemsworth is actually pretty good I have to say.
SO, she’s an arrogant idiot? That makes her George Bush in a skirt… lucky for us she’s only ruining movies. 😉
IMO, her 15 minutes will be up after the whole TwiSHIT saga is finished. She just isn’t cutting it as an actress. She’s worse than a female Keanu Reeves. At least, Reeves knew how to pick good films, which still worked no matter how awful he was in them. Kristen will not be so lucky.
She’s grown extremely harassed and angry in her job.. because she feels that directors did not let her express her true emotions that should have evolved in the script, in certain scenes on the Twilight set.. and feels let down, as they suppressed her talent and responses.. and oh well.. I’ll just become arrogant, not caring as them.. and let the argument go, even if I get bad reviews, I did as I was paid to do.. I was popular and loved for Belle.. I got years to live and act under better circumstances.. so no more complaints!
In my opinion, Pattinson will fade away. He’s way too associated with Edward Cullen (is that his name in the movie?) and Kristen might too.
Also, it might help Kristen in her career if she quit blaming everyone but herself for her wooden performances.
Public cutts Pattion so much s***t, IMO. I really wasn’ aware of double standards (regarding gender) in HW, until I realized:
he’s a bad actor
he spews stupid things all the time in the interviews
he’s very, very cute in them too…
..and the last one is also the reason why the public forgets everything else. Stewart had some serious career-blunders, but when it comes to him? oh, come on!
She’s not blaming the director, that is the poster’s opinion of what she said which sounds very wacked out. It’s not the directors fault she and everyone else sucked in Twilight.
Except Pattinson really is a talented actor.
I think Stewart is talented too but mainly defending Pattinson here because he is really, really talented. Stewart tends to hide behind other actors so she never has to carry a film.
I don’t know why Pattinson always comes up in these Stewart posts. She can be defended without mentioning him. They are not the same type of actors and they are not up for the same roles.
Wait, so are you saying that the it’s because of the directors Kstew sucked in the Twilight movies? They suppressed her talent and responses? What? WTF are you on about?
There were FOUR different directors…
So, I’m pretty sure she meant that she comes across as arrogant because she sucks at expressing herself. But whatever. I’m not a Stewart apologist, but I think people get a little crazy in both hating and loving her. Anyway, as the poster above mentioned, I actually have a friend who attended a screening yesterday. Friend blabbed even though she is not supposed to. Anyway, my friend also said the film was a B. She actually hates Stewart’s acting and thought she was fine in the film. She said Chris and Kristen were decent enough, Charlize was fantastic. The issue was that, as the person mentioned before, Charlize rocked the role but she played the Evil Queen as a insane, somewhat campy bitch. The campiness was at odds with the overall very dark atmosphere of the film. There were some funny moments, mostly with Chris Hemsworth’s character and the dwarves, but again it seemed at odds with the overall tone of the film. Anyway, my friend’s main complaint was that Chris and Kristen characters were very serious and it just seemed really strange in comparison to the antics of the Evil Queen. By the way, Charlize is definitely in the film a lot, not as much as Kristen and Chris, but she is in a big chunk…So whoever said she was barely in the film was flat out wrong. The dialogue is a little cringe worthy at times, but then again my friend isn’t a huge fantasy person. Anyway, she kind of blames the director for making it seem like Charlize is in a completely different film from Chris and Kristen.
I have to admit, when you think about what she said,I’m impressed. I’ll take that anyday over i’m-so-deep moore interview before the breakdown.
honestly? I’m 26 and I can totally relate to what she’s saying;and I’m loud, eloquent and finishing my college-still, I’m a passionate person and many times have a hard time explaining why I feel about something the way I feel. and I am considered arrogant (mostly) until people know me better.
maybe I’m just a bad person? (shrug)
I like it. but, I do like her, so I’m biased.
No, I agree that is what she was trying to say and I’m very ambivalent about her. She wasn’t saying she was arrogant about her inability to express herself, as Kaiser worded it, but that she came across as arrogant because of her inability to express herself.
What I will never understand is why people who clearly can’t stand Kristen Stewart in any way, shape or form, willingly analyze everything about her to death! If you don’t care for her, why do you follow her so closely? Why such scutiny? Why would you read and watch everything that involves her? Does it make you feel better about yourselves when you discover flaws to point out and have a laugh over? You rip apart her clothing when she’s making professional appearances and even when the poor girl is just hanging out on her own time. You mock her acting styles, hair, makeup, facial expressions, reactions to rude paps, her family, friends, even her nervousness when being interviewed. You accuse her of being in a fake relationship with Robert Pattinson for the past 4 years set up by Twilight’s studio heads with not one shred of evidence to support such an idiotic claim.
No wonder she’s so nervous giving interviews when she knows there will be the likes of you guys ripping apart every single word that comes out of her mouth! I look at the usernames on here and it’s the same bunch of people insulting her over and over again, day in, day out. Is this fun for you…to insult a young actress repeatedly whenever a story pops up on this site?
Are there more talented actresses than her…sure. Are there more beautiful women out there than her…again, yes. Are there more intelligent people than her…of course. But why point this out every single time there is a story on Kristen? Kristen is seen many times innocently walking through an airport, minding her own business, yet there are people here who will scream, “She has no expression. She’s always grumpy. She dresses like a bum.” Why do some of you have this need to compare her to others or even yourselves?!
No matter what she says or does, Kristen will always be a target for people who think they know better and feel the need to say so.
First you need to learn what paragraphs are.
Second this girl is showed down the public’s throat by her aggressive PR team, the media that wants to exploit the Twilight fandom and her fanatical fans who bully anyone who doesn’t worship on her altar. She doesn’t deserve the attention nor the career she has considering the lack of talent or beauty or personality but thanks to her family connections in the biz she has a career yet always complains.
Bullsh-t. It’s your opinion that she doesn’t deserve to be an actress. Opinion does not equal facts. Secondly, it’s hardly her fans who are the bullies on Celebitchy…maybe on other blogs, but not here. I am so so on Stewart, but the few times I have posted positive things about her I’ve been called stupid and a twi-hard. Orly’s right. People talk about her because she is in the media a lot right now. She has two new films out. The public talks about her because of that, not because of her super aggressive PR team (and her PR team isn’t that aggressive because she wouldn’t be sticking her foot in her mouth sometimes if they were).
People talk about her because she is always in the media. This is pop culture, society is fascinated with celebrity. People will talk about Kristen Stewart until she fades.
Get over it.
Most people don’t read or follow everything about her, we don’t even have to try. She is always there.
Now quit your whining. Heh.
It’s one thing to discuss someone in a civil manner but why the need for such nasty, rude insults? I see the same people making the same ugly remarks about her over and over again. She is an actress who has to sell her movies. She is in the spotlight more than usual now because she has 2 movies to promote back to back.
When I see remarks that she was “born with a silver spoon in her mouth” because both parents work in the business, I shake my head in disbelief! Her parents have very little clout in the film business. Her father works in television and her mother was a script superviser who only recently got the chance to direct her first low budget film. Many say that it was her famous daughter Kristen who may have opened doors for her to direct!
I have no problem with people not liking Kristen for whatever reason but why the need to be so rude and nasty expressing those opposing opinions?
What gives you the right to tell people how they should express themselves on a blog, though?
This site is called Celebitchy, snarkiness and bitchiness is expected (to a certain degree). If Kaiser, Bedhead or CB thought people were out of hand, they would call them out or ban them. Read the TOS.
I don’t agree with anyone who come in here just to take the piss out of KStew, but you said these are regular posters. Perhaps if you read the other threads, you’d see the same posters talking about Kardashian, Rihanna, LiLo, Beyonce (Looord, Beyonce). Infact, Beyonce’s threads have 3 times the comments as Kristen Stewart’s.
You can quit the white knighting and being so butthurt about the tone with which people post about KStew, she is not the only person who’s talked about on here.
Her PR team is very aggressive. Reminds me of Blake Lively last year. At least with Kristen no nudes will be released.
If she doesn’t get enough attention in the future, there very well could be nudes.
WORD!!! So much negativity whipped up by this young woman. Are ya’all not made to feel special enough in your own lives? Just wonderin…
Okay, I’ve seen her in a few talk show interviews and she seems like she has difficulty talking, or at least expressing herself in a coherent way that we might be able to understand…sometimes. She uses teen words and expressions almost constantly and that makes me truly wonder. Is she really as arrogant as she seems, or is she just shy or uncomfortable being interviewed and expressing herself, as people are saying? I’m confused as I’ve seen her on two talk shows now and, on both, she seems perhaps uncomfortable or acts as if she HAS to be out there, but hates it. Not sure what to think, but it’s choppy and laced with teen jive, so she seems much younger than she is because of the way she expresses herself.
My take on Kristen is that she is just 22 and so far she isn’t Kardashian nor Lohan so that’s a huge plus! I FEEL her anxiety when she is interviewed and I have had garbage fall from my own lips so I believe that is what happens to her. I think she is fine as an actress and was perfect for Twilight as a clumsy not socially adept, but quite “school bright” teenager. I like the choices she makes as an actress in her roles and feel she will have a long career if she pursues it and doesn’t let all the naysayers drive her nuts.
If that’s the standard by which you measure her, I can see how you would find her impressive. But I doubt anyone, especially her, would be thrilled to know they’ve been found to be better than dregs at the bottom of the celeb barrel. There shouldn’t even be a comparisson.
As I’ve said below, at 22 a lot of people have already obtained a diploma or done countless job interviews. How would she fare in the real world with such poor communication skills?
It was ok to excuse her anxiety and 18 -19 -20-21…but now we are 5 years in with her giving interviews and she still is incapable of putting together cohesive statements…thats where the arrogance comes in. She THINKS what she is saying is so smart…but its not. I LOVE her and think she is gorgeous…she needs a coach to teach her out to express her thoughts.
I have no idea what’s she’s saying. I’m not sure SHE even knows what she’s saying.
I can’t stand people who can’t express themselves properly. She sounds like an idiot.
So… What is she saying ?? I’m a fan of hers but I stay away from her interviews because I know they’ll ruin the illusion. She’s a beautiful girl and I have serious hair envy. She has great hair. She can’t act for sh*t though, she has the emotional range of wet cardboard. I’ll be watching SWATH for my Queen Charlize. I’m more interested to see Kristen in On The Road. I like the outfit she wore on the Jimmy Kimmel Show recently.
The fact that they’ve downplayed Stewart in almost every clip from SWATH doesn’t bode well. I don’t think I’ve seen her do more than glower and scream in anything they’ve released so far. Why are they hiding her performance? She’s the title character.
Didn’t people initially say that the first trailer focused so heavily on the queen because there would a trailer for each major character? So Chris and Kristen would each feature prominently in the new trailers. They’ve released nothing like that so far. Would they still have time? It’s dubious…
Reading her comments made my brain hurt. Boring and dumb is no way to go through life. Ride that Twilight wave, keep Sparkles happy and save your cash – you’re gonna need it.
Funny because just a few months ago she was claiming she had a hard time connecting to Snow
‘KRISTEN Stewart admits she had trouble with her transition from Twilight’s Bella Swan to perfect princess Snow White.
The 21-year-old actress says she found her goody-goody character in Snow White and the Huntsman difficult to relate to.
“It’s strange playing a character that you could never truly embody,” says Kristen. ”
I can’t have Snow White’s effect on people and I can’t actually be completely selfless. Nobody is. It’s strange to claim that. She’s very far-fetched from the reality that we live.”’
I thought Kristen played a perfect Joan Jett in The Runaways movie…but when I watched the movie a 2nd time with commentary from Kristen (among others), it was goddamn PAINFUL. Her parents really did a disservice allowing her to be a child actor instead of insisting she focus on her education until she was 18. She is so painfully inarticulate, even Joan Jett didn’t know how to respond to most of what KS was saying!
I liked The Runaways too, I didn’t watch with commentary though.
I know 10 year olds with a better understanding of syntax. Her vocabulary and usage are atrocious and her inability is express her self in a coherent manner is, indeed, painful.
She always tries to use those big fucking words to make herself look good and ends up looking stupid because of it.
Wait, are you saying that “arrogant” is a big word?
The two reviews for SWATH I’ve seen both say Kristen Stewart plays the same ‘KristenStewarty’ character she always plays. Nothing different, same boring schtick.
There are no reviews as there has been no premiere. Premieres are when the critics get to see it, hence premieres are always a few weeks before a film is released to the general public. You are hearing stuff from people who have seen a screening…basically, a test audience and I have heard that Stewart was fine.
There have already been screenings. These are the comments I’ve seen.
And no, critics see the movie at screenings, not premieres. Premieres are an exercise in PR. Movies are screened for critics separately.
Get a little knowledge please.
Critics sometimes see screenings, yes, but the reviews are embargoed until after the premiere. So, you are FOS if you are claiming to have read a review.
Critics sometimes see screenings, yes, but the reviews are embargoed until after the premiere. So, you are FOS if you are claiming to have read a review. Just saying.
No, critic reviews aren’t embargoed. Usually an embargo is in place if the movie is particularly bad.
And where did I say it was a critic review? One was a quick review from a critic on Twitter, the other was from somebody who had seen it at a screening. So those are the ‘reviews’ I’m citing.
My opinion on her talent or lack there of aside, I think it’s very sad when someone has this much difficulty expressing themselves. As someone above said, her parents did her a great disservice in allowing her to leave public school.
Had she remained, she would have been forced to learn how to express herself coherently and articulately. Writing argumentative essays, doing oral presentations and participating in debates are activities which help budding minds with proper self-expression.
I don’t know how she was home-schooled but it seems as if her tutors left out a lot of what was really essential. This girl is 22 years old; at her age, other people have already sustained their BA/BS or MA/MS thesis. She cannot finish a sentence or a thought and it’s unfortunate. She says she reads a lot; it does not show, at all.
I have to agree on that. Taking someone with a social phobia out of school is not the way to go, it just creates more fear. But I don´t know how much it would have helped in her case. She has already done so much publicity in her life, she should have at least gotten a little better. She needs therapy to deal with her self-esteem issues.
The thing is, the publicity experience is not the same as the school experience, least of all because I seriously doubt that someone critiques her interview performance and pressures her to improve. And even if they did she would not be compelled to comply.
She seems to have no incentive to change and takes pride in the fact that she does not overshare (if I understood correctly and if her awesome translator from above is right) and she does not lie. But there should still be wiggle room for discussion.
Those are two extremes; there’s plenty of room for conversation between not talking about your laundry/breakfast/lovelife and waxing poetic about a dud of a film. And it’s precisely that ability which she sorely lacks, along with the skills to carry out an idea to its completion.
Well, after scratching my head trying to figure out what the hell she was saying-she’s like the emo version of Beyonce when it comes to speaking but with a slightly better grasp re: vocabulary-I came to the conclusion that:
1) She feels “arrogant”, which means superior, to those entertainers who share themselves with their fans and pretend to be happy that they aren’t living in a shack or cardboard box. She is just soooo private and that makes her super talented and serious and emo and goth and “I don’t give a fuck” in her designer duds and dirty Converses. She want us to know that it’s none of our business and cares not a frack if we get mad.
To that I say, Kristen, no one gives a fuck about YOU. The Twi-hards just wanna know how R-Pattz bones. They wanna get close to you to get close to him. So you can continue to guard the secret of you rubbing your trainers in dirt to give them the lived in look to seem unaffected. Or hygienically unaware.
b) Kristen is going to lie even for movie promotion.
So if you want to be serious and taken seriously, shouldn’t you just do movies that you aren’t ashamed to promote instead of making fans feel like shit for loving the movie or franchise you’re in. Twilight ain’t sh-t! The majority of sane fans knows this, but would it kill you to at least be appreciative of the opportunities it HAS afforded you and the rest of the cast? Sheesh.
I meant to say she “isn’t” going to lie.
I had a job interview on Monday that I screwed up big time. I think I probably sounded a lot like her. Now I’m completely embarrassed.
Haha I’ve been havng interviews too. I get way too informal in them, told the last guys ‘yeh, when I saw your website I was like, err, what?
Had a better one since then though, keep your chin up! Might have gone alright
Interviewing is a nerve racking prospect…don’t beat yourself up…when the right job comes along the interview will go smoothly. 🙂
Let’s get real here. Neither are ‘really really talented’. They’re awful. Boring, wooden, stiff, empty, one-note. Take your pick. I’ve seen Pattinson in Little Ashes, How To Be, bits of Water for Elephtants (before I had to turn it off) and parts of Remember Me (again I had to turn it off he was so bad). Cardboard has more emotion.
Stewart is so blank and empty one wonders why she likes acting in the first place. She absolutely cannot emote and cannot transform herself into a separate character. She just plays Kristen Stewart in one role after another. A dead-eyed talent vacuum as The AV Club calls her.
I can’t see how either will be able to sustain a career post-Twilight without some major acting lessons and a minor miracle.
Thank you B for posting something about Pattinson because it just gives me a weak excuse to shut out to Kaiser to please please please write about his interview in Premiere. Looks like Rob got his month end bank statement, got high, and is just 3 minutes from starting talking about his …gasp…craft. I really like Pattinson-persona, and I can tolerate his movies, and even enjoy several (counted) scenes. But this version of Rob has announced that it grew balls, that it never did movies for money (in the same sentence as acknowledging his 5 twilights (lower case and it stays there!), and that he does not comprehend as to how it is that Cosmopolis is the test as to whether he can really act. Because he, Rob, believes, that 5 twilights were a demonstration of his fine acting skills. And no, he did not laughed after this sentence. Plus this article is accompanied by an enlarged picture of Rob’s motherly hips. I think we are losing Rob. Kaiser, please tell me that I’m wrong.
Oh my gosh the delusion is spreading!
Nina – I gave the interview a quick read through. I didn’t get the part about his craft. I thought he was saying that people don’t ask about the movies but mostly about “what it’s like to be famous” and I guess about the love of his life too? I don’t know. Entertainment reporters asks what the fans are interested in knowing, twi fans are not interested in his craft, that’s for sure.
If he doesn’t think Cosmopolis will be the test to end all test, he is sadly mistaken.
He’s becoming a male Kristen Stewart.
I read the whole thing and it’s looks like he’s starting to believe his own hype. He does one Cronenberg movie and it goes to his head. It’s not even out yet.
Please stop misinterpreting what Rob said in that interview. He’s basically saying he didn’t feel very confident in picking his movie roles before because he wasn’t sure he could do it but after working with Cronenberg it made him feel more confident. I see nothing wrong with that thought process.
Um, reading comprehension isn´t your strong suit, is it? I actually believe he didn´t do Twilight for money. I think he did the role because of his hard-on for KStew.
Is Robert Pattinson insane? Is he saying we should have honored or praised his ‘acting’ in Twilight? Yes, he’s acting in that we know he’s not REALLY a sparkling vampire, but he’s not acting WELL. He stinks and not just in Twilight. Hubris is a dangerous thing and it sounds like he’s believing his own hype here (even before the reviews are in).
He comes across as douchy and full of himself. Not a cute look for somebody with such a glaring lack of talent.
We’ll see what happens when all his movies flop.
Jane – I believe that money was a strong incentive in signing the second contract (parts 4, 5 worth $25 mil + 7.5% gross proceeds per part), signed in spring of 2009 if I’m not mistaken.
Chris – I’m fine with that particular statement. It’s the other ones that I don’t like. It’s a several page long interview, there is a lot going on there.
‘Will Cosmopolis finally prove that he can act?’ What does that even mean?”
It means your acting skills suck. That’s what it means.
Well I guess we have the answer as to whether actors read their own reviews. In the case of Twilight-the answer is obviously NO.
Orly, no, what I was trying to say is that Rob sounds so full of himself that I would not be surprised if (very soon) he starts talking seriously about his craft.
I was expecting that he had changed but I thought/hope it was more in the direction of becoming more self assured individual while remaining a self-doubting actor. He is (very) smart, this I give him, but I guess money and glory is a tough challenge. Sad day. No more Pattinson’s dissonance.
Nina, here are some of the quotes I think you were referring to:
PREMIERE: Most of the critics said you sucked without having seen you in any movies. And you were good in Twilight! ROB: In some scenes maybe… I tried anyway.. I’d like to ask a question to those people who think I just started acting well: What do you think I was doing in twilight? Do they think it’s how I act naturally? No, I had to make decisions as an actor. I find it funny when I read stuff like (He uses a dramatic voice) “Will Cosmopolis finally prove that he can act?” What does that even mean?
OMG, stop it, Nina! We do not need another James Franco craft talking type.
Yeah, the interview was really…odd.
I can’t get over the thought of Pattinson chasing paps! HAHA. That made me gigglesnort, seriously.
Thank you, B, yes, it’s one of them. Well, hopefully, he is young, that’s his quarter-life crisis…Give it couple of years, then his 4 of 5 project will bomb and he would be back to being sweet self-deprecating Pattinson 😉 Yup, I’m a die-hard fan
Orly – the dude can’t run to save his life. K-Stew, God bless her heart, said that he runs like a penguin, and she was willing to miss her lunch, just to watch him working on stunts. If I may add this image to the picture 🙂
The rest of the interview made no sense either (to me anyway). Stuff about how Cronenberg had no idea what the movie is about, Pattinson had no idea what the movie was about, how people laughed at one of the screenings (is that a good thing?), chasing paps on a beach, etc.
All in all the interview made him come off as a deluded uber douche.
Nina- You trying to get me fired, girl?
Oh My God, the images. He has really wonky ankles and feet. When I saw those running beach pics, I expected to see a set where he was sprawled face first in the sand. HAAA!
B, sounds typical Cronenberg (the not knowing bit). If you ever get the chance to watch/read a few of his interviews, do it, you’ll see how odd he can be about his movies.
Look! A Kristen Stewart post! Wonder how this is going to turn out? Oh, wait…
She is always iffy in interviews, this is not news. Also, SWATH was always going to be Charlize’s fillm, regardless of the title. No one puts Theron in a corner, please.
Hopefully, I’ll be at the prem on Monday (as a guest of a PR, before I’m accused of Twi-hardery!) Reading some of comments, though, I’ll apparently be in the presence of Grand Evil. Maybe I’ll just get a Potter-style scar on head if KS puts a hex on me. Eek!
I think she is awesome!
To me it is kind of refreshing to see a young actress who doesn’t reveal that much. Of course she seems to be very insecure but that makes her even more likeable for me. I guess that it’s just her character.
And I don’t think she is a bad actress at all.
You can’t measure her skills by the Twilight movies.
I don’t really get the grand passion people have for this girl either way.
I think she’s young, pretty, somewhat talented with a lot of room to grow, is a bad public speaker, and she seems a little boring. In the age of Lohan and Bynes and Emma Stone and Natalie Portman, those qualities aren’t horrible or amazing.
And yet for some reason, you read posts and think she’s either a Messiah or else she kills small puppies for breakfast.
I don’t really get that sort of passion, whether you hate or love her, at all.
Ssrly, people need to chill the fuck out when it comes to this chick. Don’t like her, fine, but people act like she is satan. All of the regulars like you are fine, but posts on her seem to bring the crazies who are not regulars.
Teens like her because she seems like one of them. Awkward and “rebellious” (although she totally isn’t).
Women hate her because she’s dating Robert (Edward) Pattinson.
People in general hate her because she seems entitled and bratty and they think she has no talent and all the attention should go to someone else more worthy.
Hardly anyone has a valid reason to really love or hate this girl. I don’t get it.
Women hate her because she’s dating Robert Pattinson…LOL. Funniest thing I’ve read all day. What about the women who think he has a footface and aren’t attracted to his pasty white ass.
Why do they hate her ???
ohh another post to hate on her, she is shy and full of anxiety in interviews, this is nothing new people,how can she feel comfortable when she knows people will rip her apart for everything, she can’t never win with some on you.
she is so bad that people are still hiring her,and going after her for their films, her parents did not help her get a career, she is not Lily Collins, and Emma Roberts, so stop with that bs. There was a screening yesterday of SWATH, and most of the comments have been positive, I know you people hate that, but is true, she has a film in Cannes, and potentially another franchise on her hands, not so bad for such an awful actress right??
Her team doesn’t push for pr, because she hates it, if they did she would be going to every show, every carpet,etc, but she doesn’t, only when she has a movie to promote she comes out, I cannot for the life of me why people judge her, or hate her so much, she is not Lohan or train reck, why the ville hate, you don’t like her, don’t watch her, as simple as that.
Why are you so butthurt that people don’t like your fave ??? Are you paid to stan for her ??? Getting roles doesn’t make you a good actress… Jennifer Anniston still gets roles and like Kristen she plays the same person in every movie. Go to a K-Stew fan site next time do that your feeling don’t get hurt. On this site everyone is fair game.
because the hate towards her is unjustied most of the times, people hate her because she is shy and akward during interview, she hasn’t done anything bad to anyone, you would think she killed a million puppies with the way some of you respond to her, you don’t like her acting that’s fine, but there is no reason to be hateful and bitter to a girl that minds her own bussiness and hasn’t killed anyone
What about all of the awful things that she has said? She called her fans retarded, belittled rape and people who suffer from Tourettes syndrome (when she said that she cusses too much) and she admitted that in school, she acted like a “retard” to give her substitute teachers a hard time while saying that her teachers failed her because they couldn’t adapt to HER schedule when she decided acting was more important than school. Not to mention she treats her fans like crap and spews all his anti-Hollywood bullshit when almost every second of her life is a photo op.
oh, the melodrama in your post. Seriously, she says dumb things all the time, but you’re taking it overboard and overexaggerating big time.
Well I’m a Beyonce fan and people on here hate her so I stay out of her posts instead of begging people to leave her alone. There are enough fan sites out there, I don’t understand why you’d come on CeleBITCHY and ask people to be nice to your faves. No one says the hate towards Beyonce, Jennifer Anniston or Kim Kardashian is over the top but twi-hards are always so butthurt in Kristen Stewart posts. Kim Kardashian, apart from being a famewhore, hasn’t killed any puppies and the hate towards her is 20 times worse than anything you’ll read on this post. Don’t think I’ve ever seen you defend her …
I think very few people hate her. That word has become a crutch for those who want to defend their faves but lack the ability or material to do so logically.
I dislike her because she is talentless and yet acts as a misunderstood poetic soul who lives for her craft. I cannot enjoy her performances because she only play variations of herself. She does one role relatively well and she has played it well past its expiration date.
I pity her for her atrocious communication and self-expression skills, and the obsessive stans who seem to follow every thread about her on the internet. I can’t imagine it’s a pleasure to meet them in person, especially for someone who seems to have such anxiety issues with social situations and settings.
To wrap it up, not everyone who criticizes her is a hater. And I hope not everyone who defends her is a stan. But I can usually tell by the quality of the argument presented.
I have no idea what she’s like in real life, but she comes across as a complete halfwit in interviews.
Either this poor girl is completely inarticulate or she is a major stoner. That is the kind of stuff people say when they are high and are trying to come off as deep. This isnt the first time she’s given an interview full of nothing but nonsense.
Give up the smoke!
This is why child actors should not be schooled on the set. These children turn into adults and most, I said most, are not educated to the level that is sufficient to be able to assimilate into society. Unfortunately, most learn only to smoke early and hang with adults at an early age. Jodie Foster excluded….
@Kaiser – I didn’t care for her Balenciaga dress that much, but she was far from the worst, I think.
How in Hell could *this* be ‘far from the worst’?! It’s hideous! Looks like the designer/artist grabbed whatever spare fabric they had laying on the floor. & sewed them together.
Blegh.
That was painful to watch. Isn’t there coaching available for artists to help them with interviewing, etc.? I’m pretty ambivalent towards her, but I genuinely feel sorry for her that she has such a hard time articulating.
There are (coaches for that). I would’ve thought her agent would’ve insisted she take such classes, as being personable (or at least being able to pretend) is such a huge part of celebrity.
I’ve only seen her acting once before, on Law&Order SVU, where she plays a mopey/emo/bitchy teenager who has the same expression on her face the ENTIRE time…I never saw any of Twilight.
I’d bet money she’s been “coached” and trained for the media, with few improvements.
But if she has a genuine social anxiety issue, it’s not something you actually can train away. You can manage it, but not exactly “solve” it.
I don’t know, there’s worse things to me than someone being inarticulate. She just seems to start talking wihtout really forming her thoughts well. No skin off my back.
I think K-Stew can officially put the word ‘stupid’ in front of her reigning title of ‘bitch’
Can’t wait til the Twilight movies are over. She will be DONE.
she has anxiety, thats no reason to hate on her, specially when she tries hard to give an honest answer and still be herself, she has said she doesn’t want classes, that will make her like the rest of hollywood robots, always going by the book, and staying politically correct, she is honest, and yes akward, she doesn’t make excuses for the way she is, is refreshing to me to see a real down to earth girl, she is not stupid like some of you haters call her, read more of her interviews about acting and her job, people that work with her have said how mature and older she seems to be.
But there’s no point in arguing, at the end of the day she her career is doing fine, and will continue even after tw, so keep hating her
She’s still young. I think if she had more confidence she would be a great actor.
She feels too good sometimes, or above it all, to say the predictable thing. Because she thinks it is trite (and she is right). So she is instead uncomfortable and doesn’t say what people expect her to. Essentially, she knows she isn’t really ‘playing the game’ like she perhaps should be, and she seems to know she should be. But she doesn’t. For reasons stated above. And yes, that can be a sort of arrogance. She recognizes that.
And really, big deal.
People are determined to take everything this girl says the wrong way. I dont even think you have t read between the lines here. She doesnt spell it all out, but it isn’t hard to understand what she is saying. Unless you dont want to.
Blackswan777, ia! I think that ‘nervous/awkward’ ticks we see in her acting are genuine. She isnt quite confident enough an actress to filter those out, quite yet. But that will change as her method matures. I think she’s a fine actress, though as far as talent goes.
If I were she, I would be too busy making films and living my life to read all this negative commentary. If it makes you all feel better, good for you, but I don’t see the point. She doesn’t seem to be a bad person to me.
I really like this girl. I think she’s a competent actor who will get better with time – really, she has exhibited flashes of brilliance in some of her “lesser” roles. She’s socially awkward and makes no excuses for it. It’s who she is and she doesn’t want to change it for fear it will change HER. She will grow and mature and some of that awkwardness will naturally fall by the wayside. But for now, it is who she is.
I’m watching this movie for Sam Claflin and no one else!
