Is it just me or is the “industry” side of the Kristen Stewart-Rupert Sanders affair really interesting? Conventional wisdom says that Kristen Stewart will be able to survive the Twihard Meltdown and that losing her Twihard fanbase might actually be better for her in the long run. But! I do think that Kristen will still be feeling the (negative) effects of the scandal on her career for years to come. I do think the scandal will propel the last Twilight movie (opening in November) into a stratospheric box office – everyone will see that dumb movie now. As for Rupert Sanders… will he come out of this with his career? Eh. Probably. He didn’t have a high profile before this, and while this sounds really harsh (and it’s not how I feel personally), most people don’t care about his perceived “personal problems” and “marriage problems” because his wife isn’t very famous in her own right. If he was married to someone well-known, it would have been a bigger deal for him.
While Summit scrambles (?) to figure out how to work the Breaking Dawn Part II publicity schedule (more on that in a moment), there’s still another “industry” story that many have been ignoring: when Snow White and the Huntsman became a financial success, Kristen Stewart proved that she could carry a non-Twilight film and that she could “deliver” a solid box office. So Universal immediately greenlighted a sequel to SWATH. With Kristen. And Rupert Sanders. Radar says that Liberty Ross has demanded that Rupert pull out as director:
Rupert Sanders has been told by wife Liberty Ross to forget about directing Snow White and the Huntsman 2 if he wants to win her back, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. The British model gave the stern warning to the movie director in a desperate bid to save their marriage after revelations he had an affair with Kristen Stewart .
Sanders, 41, was originally lined up to direct the sequel after it became a box office success. However, he is yet to sign an agreement with Universal Pictures who are considering putting someone else in the director’s chair.
“Liberty let it be known in no uncertain terms that Rupert can’t direct the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman,” a source revealed. “They are trying to work things out after he was caught having an affair, and that is one of the sticking points. She just doesn’t want him to ever work with Kristen again. Rupert is obviously disappointed because Snow White and the Huntsman was his directorial debut, and he had hoped on building on that with a follow-up after some decent reviews.
“But he knows his actions were inexcusable, and he’s going to have to bite the bullet and listen to his wife on this one. Also, when Rupert signed up for Snow White and the Huntsman, he didn’t know he was going to get a chance to direct a sequel. His contract with Universal was only for one movie. It was a verbal agreement that he was to take the reigns on the sequel, nothing was ever signed. Kristen, as the film’s lead, will get preference over Rupert and Universal will just find another director,” the source said.
In an interesting turn of events, The Hollywood Reporter claims that as far as Universal is concerned, Rupert is still on board to direct the sequel. But Kristen is contractually obligated for the sequel, while Rupert is not. Right now his attachment to the film is basically “Well, he did a good job the first time, and if he wants to direct the sequel, he can.” Even if he doesn’t end up directing, I think the chances are pretty good that Rupert would end up producing the sequel, don’t you? Which means that any way you slice it, Kristen and Rupert are going to work together again. Which is epic.
Now, as for Summit and their headache. One week after Us Weekly published the Kristen-Rupert photos, Summit finally got around to issuing a statement about their plans for the publicity tour. The statement:
In an exclusive statement to EW, Summit’s president of worldwide marketing, Nancy Kirkpatrick says: “While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November’s opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. We are confident that the film delivers amazing entertainment for our passionate fans and general audience alike.”
What do you think Summit executives are most worried about? That Rob Pattinson will dump Kristen and refuse to be photographed with her or do press with her? Or that they’ll stay together in some weird kind of limbo and everything will just be awkward and forced and everyone will be creeped out?

does that jacket of his have little turds on it?? wth.
Hahahahahaha
Omg, thanks for the laugh. I about peed my pants that this was the first comment on this thread. Thanks!
Same here. Brilliant!
no, just one turd, leaning on his jacket
If he directs the sequel, they are sicker than I thought.
Yup. It’s beyond my imagination that Sanders thinks his wife would allow this. With Kristen again! What a joke!
I agree. Also, Liberty is so beautiful to me, like she is almost too pretty. Sigh..men..
When even Halle Berry’s husband couldn’t be faithful I realized it has nothing to do with looks.
This is just messed up.
SWATH 2 ain’t happening now. No way. Completely tainted by scandal. If it does happen for some reason, Snow White will be scrapped and it will focus on the Huntsman. Universal already said this prior to scandal.
Rupert will suffer the most. Hollywood will throw him back to his commercial gigs.
Kristen will be fine if she goes back to indie’s. Big studio films? Not for a long time.
SWATH 2 may happen in a couple of years. All said and done, gossip is momentary titillation. I don’t think in the long run it affects anyone at all, particularly seeing how hollywood is protective of its golden geese.
And I disagree, wait and watch, Kristen will do a couple of indies (which was her plan all along) and the studios will take her back. She is now the symbol of all rebellious teens more than ever.
I think this scandal will be the making of KS’ career.
With Rupert, I can’t say. Probably back to indies.
You’re giving Hollywood and the people who run it too much credit.
This won’t hurt either of them. Sadly.
See, I’m Laughing Out Loud hard right now ’cause I totally saw this coming.
Let’s see how this whole situation goes on, who will do what and what moves will the players pull. ‘Cause I’m more convinced than before that this was a completely fake scandal.
And heck, no matter which theory is right or wrong, it is all so damn entertaining (which, according to my theory, was exactly the point) 🙂
Yep, I’m with Rocket Merry. It was announced on Vulture that KStew just got the part of Peyton in Lie Down In Darkness.
I didn’t think KStew would be into this sort of PR fuckery. I was wrong.
Those who hope that this is the end for Kristen Stewart are in for a big disappointment. The girl is easily the most polarizing young actress out there. People either love her or love to hate her, she always draws the most emotion (and the most comments on every site) and that will translate into a long and illustrious career in Hollywood. Liz Taylor was as polarizing and she rode it out to become an icon. ET was a child actress like KS, and she was scandalous and didn’t give a hoot. After her husband died and she stole Fisher from Reynolds, her FU statement to the press was “Do they expect me to sleep alone?”. Then she quickly ditched him for Burton. Many will say ET was more talented than Stewart, but she was a middling actress at best. Virginia Woolf was her best performance, she never did better. Cat.. Roof was okay and even she agreed Butterfield 8 did not deserve the Oscar she got. Hollywood loves women like this, they need the “bad girl” to counteract the multitude of simpering, fake “good girl” actresses out there. We like our bad girls strong, we secretly despise weak ones like LiLo. Stewart need not be a good actress to continue in HW; but I believe she has potential to be very good if not great. Yes, Twilight was embarassing, I’ve never been able to sit through any of the flicks my girls have on video; horribly written, horribly directed and bad acting. But I’ve seen her do good work. I think since Twi and Patz, she’s lost the edge, I hope this brings her back. Love this chick.
BTW, I’m not a prude nor an advocate of moral policing that goes on in America, I do not require sexual fidelity from strangers.All I require from an entertainer is that they be…entertaining.
100% on board.
Uhm NO!!!I don’t hate K-Stew but and I think she can eventually have a career resurgence AFTER a few years of groveling/laying low but on no planet will she ever compare to Elizabeth Taylor. ET enraptured audiences as a child initially not because of scandal but because she was inarguably a stunning beauty with otherworldly eyes. The reason why people were so scandalized but willing to forgive were because she grew up with the public. They witnessed not only her affairs but her losses-her health scares, the loss of her husband Mike Todd etc etc. They felt like they knew her. (if you are actually curious about her read Furious Love).
K-Stew on the other hand is a too cool for school teeny bopper actress trying way too hard. Teens and internet addicts may have polarizing views on her but in general most people couldn’t give a flying f–k. MOST people are viewing this scandal with an ironic curiosity at the Twi-hard meltdown. So for the last time she’s not Elizabeth she’s not Angelina either(since that’s the other name that gets brought up).
JUST STOP.
sunnee…I love your entire comment
I really wish people would stop comparing her to Elizabeth Taylor and Angelina Jolie.
And Stewart’s career was only on the upswing because of the Twilight movies. The fanbase was never hers, they’re only loyal to Bella. They haven’t been supporting her non-Twilight movies, and now she and her booty call have f*cked up SWATH. Her career was pretty much done with or without this scandal, tbh.
Good points – well put with a lot of truth. Thanks for the post!
Comparing her with ET, ahahahahaha. Maybe Spielberg’s ET, and even he was more talented than Stewart. Oh seriously, the other day a writer at The Daily Beast compared her to Ingrid Bergman. Even worse. Close to blasphemy. The general public doesn’t care about her, she’s now only getting all these comments here because of her scandal. She’ll probably survive this, sure, but stop comparing her to icons. It’s silly anyway, you can’t compare Old Hollywood to the current day and age. Everything changed so much, media, public. Uncomparable.
Yeah, Twilight was so horribly written and directed(Bill Condon being one of the best directors out there) that it made 2.5 billion dollars and more will be added to that this November. I am a college educated middle-aged woman and the Twilight Saga was the best thing to come along in a love story in a long time. Diss the Hunger Games..now that is some bad directing and acting.
Not all actresses caught in a cheating scandal end up like Liz Taylor. Remember Meg Ryan? Her career never recovered after the Russell Crowe affair.
Kristen can recover, but it will take some time, and she needs to play her cards right. Bitchiness and flipping off the paps will get her nowhere fast. She needs to be contrite, lay low, and work hard. And come back acting more mature, like she’s gown up and learned some lessons.
It will be interesting to see how the SWATH dvd does, It’s due out 9/11. I’ll guess it will take a hit vs. where it would have been had she not pissed off some of her fan base.
Really Jane? Because I started the series while in highschool, well before there was talks of a movie, and even I knew that it was a sick ‘love story’. I ended up reading the last ‘book’ while I was in my first year of University before hurling it at the wall because it was such a load of crap.
While it has been widely marketed as a great love story, Twilight displays nothing but unhealthy realtionships, a mary-sue character, and endless descriptions of just how gorgeous the main male character was.
It was painful to watch, and painful to read, and the story had exactly the level of quality expected coming from the dreams of a middleaged woman’s fantasy about teenaged vampires that sparkle.
Ann –
I don’t know if comparing Kristen to Meg Ryan is a fair comparison. Around the time of Meg’s affair and divorce she was turning 40 y/o. Unfortunately most actresses’ roles drop dramatically at this age.
@sunnee – you forgot the awful music soundtrack. I couldn’t get past it on the first movie and couldn’t watch.
You forgot sex appeal was part of Liz Taylor’s package. Nobody remembered Liz for her acting abilities, tbh.
sunnee, I’m actually rooting for Kristen to make it big outside Twilight but the Liz Taylor comparison is so wrong.
kristen is no liz taylor. she is medicore actress at best. she isn’t horrible, but not amazing either. also twilight made her famous. if it wasn’t for that movie she wouldn’t have done snow white, and would still be doing indies. there are better actresses out there vs stewart, and those actresses don’t mope and complain about life.
Sunnee, I think you have some good points, but like most people who have replied to you have said – ET? Come on. She was one of the most beautiful and glamourous women in the world and every inch the movie star. Her box office allure wasn’t for a single franchise. I don’t think the success of SWATH had very much to do with Kristen Stewart – it was an interesting concept, had big special effects, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. It was a plot that was attractive to men and women. And people love Twilight and Bella and Edward, not Kristen and Rob. Aside from SWATH none of their movies have done nearly as well as any Twilight film.
Just because they have the saddest – sorry, the most “dedicated” fans – on the internet doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t see Ridiculously Photogenic Guy making any movies.
I do think it will hurt Rupert. He isn’t a star and this was his first film and he really threw a monkeywrench into the money works. (I didn’t mean that to sound titillating…but, there you go). What I mean is that he really messed up a lot of carefully orchestrated PR and that has got to cost him in the “trustworthy employee” category.
I assume Hollywood expects this from “stars” so Kristen may or may not pay a cost. I think, likely, not. But I really never thought she had much longevity, anyway. Chaos can’t last. Look at Lohan. And Kristen is chaotic.
I honestly hope it does hurt his work. He needs a smackdown where it hurts – in the job front.
It will likely hurt Rupert more than Kristen. Kristen may be hated by a lot of people but she has name recognition. That Rupert guy is a nobody (in celeb terms). His claim to fame so far is this, I doubt that the people who saw SWATH even knew the name of the director.
Good! I like her better now. He’s just angry his beard made him look bad.
Hollywood is a business, and the first film was very successful, beyond their expectations. They will make another one because the studio thinks it can make more money. I don’t think that the studio thinks the success was based on Twi-hards in the audience, so I don’t think they will care about this scandal.
Kristen booked another role today, so I don’t think this is going to slow her down.
Hmmm. I am curious to see how this will play out. I don’t think it’s the worst thing if they work together again, because so much damage has already been done already that I don’t think that his marriage will survive anyway.
I am also starting to wonder if in time, if the marriage ends, that they will actually get together. I would be really interested to see if there are actually genuine feelings, or if it was just as Liz Phair sang it…Fu@k and Run.
Edited to Add: Otherwise, why do it? For the thrill? For the fun? This is what I fail to understand when people cheat with people who have families? If the end goal isn’t to get together, why put yourself through the misery and risk getting caught?
The pre-shooting interviews with Rupert seem to indicate he had quite a crush on her personna. That is being glossed as “he has a type”. The interviews with his wife indicate their marriage had hit a rough spot. Probably, his own personality is a bit weak/lacking character. Combine that with a healthy dose of power-tripping as a first time director and you have his motivation. I would guess Kristen has some issues that really need some help and Hollywood is helping that. I read at least one psychologist who opined that she wanted out (of the real or faked relationship with Pattinson) and this was her rather spectacular exit strategy. I suspect ole Rupert, as Director, seemed attractive/powerful/knowing to a lost, troubled young woman. Some kind of “daddy issues” there.
No excuses just attempted explanations.
I definitely got the impression that their marriage had hit a rough spot as well…not exactly sure how, but I’d be curious to learn more about Liberty, how she was. She seems to be painted as the martyr wife, and while no one deserves to be cheated on, I’ve learned that cheating husbands usually aren’t getting something that is integral in the relationship they presently have. Having children makes leaving so much more complicated.
I meant “Hollywood is exacerbating” not helping. *brain fart*
She has a website. I looked at it. She seems creative and avant-garde but, also, lonely and maybe a bit egocentric and far too thin, especially in recent years. But my own bias is that all models are probably narcississtic. Don’t know exactly the impact of all that on their relationship.
He didn’t choose much different for his tryst but maybe just a younger even more insecure and less worldly-educated version of his wife. Since he got her at 17, I suppose we could advance a theory that he likes adoring blank slates who won’t challenge him meaningfully. Git.
Oh, and looking at her website, I felt that you could tell how hard she was working to make their new life in LA work for her and them, as a family. Sad, really.
We’ll see if a sequel actually gets made. While she may be contractually obligated she may also have script approval yadda yadda…by that time Rupert will be ‘occupied’ on some other project I highly doubt he’ll be involved in the sequel in any case.
Oh and personally I doubt Twilight 47 will be as huge as you think because many of the people interested (like me) are more interested in the PR nightmare of the thing then the actual movie.(you couldn’t pay me to pay to see another one of those movies in the movie theater).
I bet there are going to be Twihards who flock to see the last Robsten make out session and others who are too devastated to realize that their fairytale lovers no longer exist.
The adage that history repeats itself is a truism, whether you want to accept it or not. People tend to compare current events to past events in order to see established patterns. The pattern I was drawing between ET and KS, was to illuminate that the industry thrives on these characteristics in celebrities, it is an industry pattern to value the “bad girl”. I might also say it is a cultural desire to have a handful of those types to counterbalance those who embrace the “good girl” image. Some may need to live vicariously through these celebrities while others, such as many who comment on these sites, need someone to bash and feel superior to. As I previously stated KS will have a strong A list career, if she desiresit. Then again she may opt out, and pursue indies. But I think it will be 100% her choice.
But Sunnee, that was at a time before the internet age and social media.
We don’t need to go to the movies to see or appreciate the “bad girl” “bad boy”. Back then, the most exposure people had to ET was what they saw in the movies. Now, we have images of almost every aspect of celebrities’ lives available to us.
Don’t you see the difference? Kristen will never be packaged as a “bad girl” after this, and she can never have the attitude that ET had either.
How are you so certain that Kristen Stewart will have a strong A list career? I need to borrow your crystal ball, ’cause there are a few things I wouldn’t mind knowing about my future.
Oh goody, potential for more gossip fodder and celebrity dramz; the home-made popcorn industry will skyrocket.
just saw a promo poster for Breaking Dawn 2, with Robert and Kristen on it. Just one word below them: Forever.
ouch.
Summit’s publicists must hate their jobs right now. I can’t imagine trying to schedule that press junket with two people who may or may not be speaking to each other in three months.
Ho White and the Cookie Muncher: Part Deux??! No thanks.
That gave me a giggle!
I do think the scandal will propel the last Twilight movie (opening in November) into a stratospheric box office – everyone will see that dumb movie now.
I won’t. Haven’t seen any of the prior movies (no, not even for the “lulz”) — won’t see this one either.
Hi Eve-
The question is: would you have seen it BEFORE the news of the scandal broke?
I wouldn’t.
No, I wouldn’t. And the scandal hasn’t made me interested in seeing it.
I honestly do not see what the hell people find interesting about these stories — granted, I’ve never read (nor I plan to ever do that) the books but, from the quotes tattooed on Twihards’s body parts, I don’t think the material is worth reading.
Examples:

http://blastr.com/assets_c/2009/11/TwilightTattoo1-thumb-550×463-28702.jpg
Seriously, we don’t even have to buy the books! All we have to do is standing right behind one of these lunatics.
Same here, Eve. Never read the books and never will and no interest in the movies.
Ugh, those pictures….seriously-the tattoo? Are these kids or adults? I fear for our future…
From what I’ve seen, most of these hardcore fans are actually adults.
Don’t know which possibility is worse though. If these are kids, they may actually outgrow their obsession with Twilight someday — and I’d LOVE to be at the dermatologist’s office the day they’ll be there to remove their tattoos (HA HA HA HA HA!). But I have the feeling they’ll just replace this with something equally bad in the future.
Eve, I think you’re right about a lot of it being adults. I read the stupid books because so many people kept raving about them (I thought they sucked) and I still see people I went to high school with posting about it like they’re 13 years old, not 35!
I mean…I just…they are all tramp stamped…speechless. smh
LOL @ “and I’d LOVE to be at the dermatologist’s office the day they’ll be there to remove their tattoos (HA HA HA HA HA!)”
Yikes, yikes and yikes @ Twi-hards.
I agree, Eve. I don’t think this scandal will help BD2 at all. I never wanted to see it and still don’t. A lot of twihards are saying they won’t see it, but they’re fickle, so.
The twilight films make a lot of their money by repeat viewings.
Fans see the movies between 3 – 5 times at the cinema, some of them go as high as 10 times. It’s insanity.
There is a young mother, who lives around the corner from me, with a large forearm tattoo that says “Twilight.” It’s horribly done, but that’s to be expected from a late-twenties twihard who still lives at home and is missing quite a few teeth.
Sorry but try as I might I could not respond to your snarky little comment up above about my crystal ball. Funny I didn’t see a snarky response from you to those who predict KS is dead in the water. Biased much? Anyway, my analysis is just my thoughts on what this scandal might mean, I don’t claim prescient powers, but ironically I do own a crystal ball ( gift from an old friend) which sits on a small round table by my Living room window. My dad howled with laughter when he came to visit. Do I have to preface every statement with a caveat that it is just my opinion? I thought it was a given when talking about the future . So here goes, in my opinion she will be the bad girl, she certainly doesn’t try to come across as the good girl. I read that she may have gotten the part as Peyton in Lie Down in Darkness. Maybe the bad girl image is already working for her. Just my opinion.
O.M.G!
I just can’t…
No words..
Tattoos of twilight?!
WTF?!
I mean, I admit..I read the books and I saw the movies (on DVD) because, why not *shrug* ..I liked them. Horrible acting but they were good for a night in with some popcorn..
but this is just…wow!
I haven’t been to tumbler yet but I think I’m going to have to go over there and see what is going on with the crazies…
I went to the twilight tumblr and there’s some pretty funny stuff. Including pics with the caption “first guy to be cheated on in real life, and a movie, by the same girl.” LOL
Oh Liberty. Do you honestly think that barring your husband from filming the sequel to SWATH will prevent him from cheating again? Please just dump him-it’s not worth living a life filled with anxiety just for the “sake of the children”.
This guy will not change.
A fond saying around here: You cannot polish a turd.
Especially when he really considers doing the sequel with Kristen Stewart!!
Hi Kit…
Yes, there is a reason so many remind us “once a cheat always a cheat”. Never heard the turd (ha) saying…but I am stealing it 🙂
Not sure if you have been on the Rielle Hunter thread yet…I read it and it inspired one of my letters.
‘Morning, Chat!
You know? I sort of feel like even if Liberty tries to mend her marriage that she’ll still end up divorcing him from the strain. Maybe I’m wrong? I just wish she’d leave him. I hate how women always get the scarlet letter and the man just goes on with his life as if nothing happened. Ugh.
***runs to Rielle Hunter thread****
Yes, she needs to move on now. People should never reconcile “for the kids”. Of course it should be part of the equation, but as I have said before, cheating is the deal breaker for successful reconciliation…kids or no kids.
ITA Chat-the kids will NOT be happy knowing that their parents are miserable and THEY are the reason they stayed together.
When kids get older, they will sense if there is no love between their parents-you might be able to fake happiness but you CANNOT fake genuine love and respect for one another.
EXACTLY! If it wasn’t KStew it would have been someone else. He’s so vile. I cannot believe that that’s the sticking point for her taking him back! Smh. Run Liberty! I love that header picture with the two of them and his wedding ring. I wonder if he took it off when he was nibbling on her biscuits in her car and then put it back on as he walked the 3 blocks she dropped him off from his house. Disgusting. Both of them.
Also, I think SWATH was a success despite not because of KStew. In fact, I wanted to see it for Charlize and Chris. Her acting is so wooden and one dimensional so I passed on seeing it all together. She’s the reason I didn’t see it. I saw parts of the first Twiglight and it was terrible. In fact, the last movie of hers I saw was Panic Room lol. Like I said yesterday in the ‘he lured’ her post: She definitely has more Hollywood clout than him, so if anything they’ll get a gay man or woman director to save face for the sequel. Lol. And he’ll be out completely, even as a producer. I think her career will and should take a hit because she is barely talented and her relationship with Rob and the twihards are why she is so famous. Now that she has basically spit in their face with this scandal she’ll never command that type of money or audience again. Especially with more talented and less scandal prone starlets like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. I hope his career takes a hit too but like others have mentioned he wasn’t as well known so it’ll be relatively less impactful.
@ hoya- I agree. Not to be controversial but I kind of think this whole scandal was good for his career in a way. It gave him a TON of exposure and made his name a household one, whereas before he was a *relative* nobody. Ugh. I just have to believe in karma-if he walks away from this with family & career intact??? Just UGH.
I don’t think the scandal will help Rupert’s career. Getting infamous publicity only works for actors. A Director’s career takes off when he/she gets publicity for how good a film they directed is or how much money it made. Just being famous doesn’t get you more directing jobs. Watch he is going to get fired from the sequel, he has no contract anyway.
She was the worst part of that mediocre movie, what the hell are they going to tell in a sequel. I love movies to death but sometimes i just want this industry to go away.
This industry really seems tainted and skeevy lately.
I’m saddened that it’s apparently impossible to stay faithful and not abuse drugs.
I’m even more saddened that people like Snooki and Kim Kardashian are revered for no real reason at all. Sex tape and reality show? Oh, that’s admirable.
ITA. Not sure if we’re just seeing a shift in perception because there’s so much access to information (thank you, Internet), but it does seem like the behavior is worsening.
*waving at my fellow Izzy*
That picture of her in the backseat of the car pretty much sums up how I have always felt about her attitude: so try-hard badas$, trying to be so “over it,” hardcore wannabe.
no no noooooo, you have it all wrong, Brown. That’s the picture of an innocent girl who was lured by her predatory Director into a situation she didn’t want.
Get with the program, girl.
Yeah, “hardcore”, badass chicks don’t generally do weepy public apologies in Kneepads magazine do they? LOL
You couldn’t pay me to rent this Twi movie, let alone see it in theaters. However, I will be following the publicity tour! Sight unseen I say that will be 1000x more interesting.
That picture says it all. She is vile.
You are So uninformed yet you speak on a subject, she was in the front seat. It’s plain to see the steering wheel and side mirror. You didn’t look yet you talk authoritatively. Some have said she’s “splayed out” and that there was “biscuit munching” presumably they haven’t looked at the pics either. Unless you are able to magically see more than what the pics show, there is just an over the shooter shot and his head is a little lower than hers. The desire to see sexual activity where there isn’t any is laughable and speaks to the sexual frustration that many on this board have. Maybe you should go
Out and get a little nookie yourselves, you’d probably feel a little better about your boring lives.

Sunnee, I like your style. I had forgotten that when one has not sex for a while, one gets very edgy. So, that’s what is going on. ha,ha,ha,ha
You’re right. I didn’t notice the steering wheel in that picture, so clearly my point about her unattractiveness while shooting the bird to the world means nothing. My mistake.
As far as looking for sexual activity where there is none…. I don’t really know what to say about that. There are photographs of them making out in the front seat of a mini cooper, and other pics of her grinding her as$ on his peen in a public park. To say that there was no sexual activity is a little obtuse, don’t you think??
I don’t think that’s projecting sexual frustration. I think that’s just being observant. And of course, you could say by the same argument, that you are trying to ignore sexual activity where there is clearly some, for whatever reason that may be.
Regardless, being so emotionally invested in someone is unhealthy, and from your posts and @sallyreo’s posts, I can see that’s the case. Making observations about someone’s actions is one thing, but fervently defending a stranger when all evidence is stacked against her is another. Maybe instead of trying to delve into our psyches by assuming that we are all just sexually frustrated, jealous bi*ches for condemning her actions, you should examine the reasons that you feel so attached and emotionally invested toward KStew’s life?
Sunnee – You have been white knighting all over these boards, posting huge missives, yet you tell people their lives are boring and they’re under sexed?
Why are you on here wasting your time when you could be out leading your exciting life?
Hey BROWN and ORLY,
All I have to say is “physician heal thyself”. Just scrolling down this thread I counted 3 from Brown and 6 comments from Orly. Who is more emotionally invested? Hmm? I don’t mind being called a white knight, jousting for truth and justice against you and your ilk. You are indeed the negative dark knights.
I do not think calling someone on their sh*t after they cheat on their long-time boyfriend with a married father of two is being a “negative dark knight,” but if so, then that’s fine. There is no way to spin it so that it’s anything other than it is, which is a really bad decision on KStew’s (and Rupert’s) part, and a really sad situation for their partners and families. Your trying to make it into less than it is cheapens the entire act of infidelity. To me, at least, it’s a big deal. I saw somewhere (maybe in a previous thread) where you said you have forgiven your husband for things you never thought you would, and your only no-no is abuse, which leads me to believe maybe infidelity was forgiven in your relationship. If so, that’s fine, and I understand why you are trying so hard to convince others that it is not a big deal. For some of us, it is unforgivable. Just differences in opinion, I guess.
You’re right, I am invested in this “scandal” because it hits close to home, but I am less invested in K/Rob than I am in the other commenters like yourself. I guess that’s just human nature. You and I will just have to agree to disagree on this, but we can do it in a respectful way. No need to go insulting random people, calling them jealous and sexually frustrated to do so. Just let it be.
From an industry stand point I think they’re both dead onthe water.
Kristin Stewart had two kinds of fans before this scandal. 1. Twilight and 2. People who wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because she was: young, awkward, non-typical. Both of those fan bases just took a massive hit.
Kristin was never that great an actress or a personality but she was inoffensive enough that she kinda skated by on being meh to the 10th power. Now she is offensive and unlike being awkward few people will look past her sleeping with a married man in these very gross circumstances.
A public response is one thing but I believe the same for Rupert. It’s not that he’s unknown enough to skate. It’s that THIS is now all he’s known for. His first big movie and he gets caught phucking the actress. Studios usually don’t like it when they give you millions and you spend their money and time screwing your lead actress. I doubt another studio will give him that trust or money since he’s displayed a total lack of control.
I also wouldn’t bank on SWATH as beig proof of Kristin’a star power. A VERY small percentage of people saw it for her. Most saw it for the story line or kick ass special effects. I wanted to see it by couldn’t bear to see a movie with her in spite of everything else that looked so great. Now I’m SO glad I didn’t see that awful film. For all I know he was biscuit diving between takes.
I agree with everything you said!
Couldn’t agree more. Directors are hired to make important decision and his most important was a spectacularly poor one. Think what his actions are costing the Twilight production company. I can’t believe any other company would want to take that chance. And he has no track record.
Completely agree! The only reason I saw SWATH was because of Chris Hemworth. She was pretty awful in the movie, but when has she really been good in anything since Panic Room. Although to be honest I’ve only seem about 4 of her movies.
I think it would be a stupid gamble to do a sequel because now all anyone thinks of SWATH is the movie that created two cheaters.
Rob’s an actor, and a fairly decent one. I think he will grit his teeth, smile, and get through the promo for Breaking Dawn. He’ll take pictures standing next to Kristen, he’ll be polite. He won’t *go out of his way,* but he’ll get the job done. Rob is a professional, and he knows that studios and producers are less likely to hire him if he doesn’t do a strong, professional, adequate job of promoting their movies.
All I’m thinking about is how Kristen’s gonna promote anything. Girlfriend is already such a nervous, twitchy, babbling mess…this is gonna double down on that, BIG time.
What’s with the harness in the last photo with the blue dress? The horse has already bolted you know..
Kristen is overpaid and untalented. It’s the beginning of the end for her.
“When Snow White and the Huntsman became a financial success, Kristen Stewart proved that she could carry a non-Twilight film and that she could “deliver” a solid box office.”
I disagree; I don’t think she carried the movie. I mean I believe she was a draw to her tweeny fan base, but I also believe Hemsworth brought a lot of fans to the seats because of Thor, Avengers and he’s hot. He drew in the late teen, early 20 something’s. As my son’s attested, it was a “date” movie. The girls went for Chris and the guys went along because of the role Chris played in the movie and has played recently.
Her brand is seriously damaged right now (as well it should be). She will never fully recover and it is up to her whether she flips her career the bird with her usual I don’t give a f*ck attitude or alters her behaviors for the better. It’s all up to her which way it goes. Stay tuned~
agree Chatcat. I went to see SWATH in spite of Kristen and I was able to talk my bf into it using Charlize. I told him about Kristen starring in it and he said “Who?”
I saw it for Hemsworth, pure & simple, and came out of it with a mad girl crush on Charlize Theron. I didn’t think KStew fit the role. And I liked her in Adventureland.
I only watched SWATH because of Charlize Theron. I was never a Kristen Stewart fan. If Universal think after this scandal, that they can bring back Rupert Sanders in any capacity without a backlash, then the studio must have addled brains running it.
Liberty Ross is well known in the UK! Well maybe to those of us who read Vogue in class in the late 90s
If he directs that second movie, I’ll eat my hat. I’ll have to go buy one first, but I’ll do it. The studio doesn’t care about him as a director. He’s a no name who got moderately successful with SWATH. Kristen was the reason people saw that movie (I don’t say that lightly; I do not like her at all).
Also, I think Kristen will survive this. In a couple of years we will look at her totally undeserved success and think, oh! She survived the cheating scandal! While Rupert Whatever goes on to direct some Eddie Murphy cross dressing sequels.
Team Kristen. All this did was make the weeping sparkled one relevant outside their fake romance. She can act, he’s had bomb after bomb.
His PR team is over the moon!
I doubt that. He has talent – at least David Cronenberg wanted to work with, that’s not nothing.
Someone posted over here that he doesn’t even have a PR-team.
@ Liv-Thank you!
Sorry but if Cronenberg comes calling for you, then you have SOMETHING.
Pattinson had a few box office bombs-SFW? He can afford to do a few low key creative projects with all the money he made from Twilight.
Why does “Team Kristen” automatically mean you sh*t on Rob, who is just a victim here?
😉
“She can act”
Highly debatable, but maybe just a matter of opinion. Personally I feel like every time I see her on screen she is playing the exact same character. Even for her “Welcome to the Rileys” character where she should have been the antithesis to her Twilight character, all I could think of was “this is just a foul-mouthed Bella that talks faster and wears slutty clothes.”
“He has had bomb after bomb”
I’m not so sure about that, either. I think most of his work has been good, even if the films themselves haven’t been Blockbusters. I thought he was great in Water for Elephants, and I liked him in Remember Me (pretty much hated the storyline though), and of course he will always live in my heart as Cedric.
I’m not sure why her fans are sticking by her. She isn’t gracious to you guys. You see the bird she’s flipping in that picture? She’s flipping that bird to the world, including her fans. She doesn’t need you guys, she’s so over this drama, she’s too cool for school.
Has Kristin been in a film where she was the star and the only draw to the box office.
She seems to depend on her costar to bring people in or act in movies where her involvement doesn’t matter at all.
Gin, you are the type of fan that Kristen doesn’t need. Your idiotic comments make people who didn’t care about her, now think even less of her. Way to go!
And again, Rob doesn’t have a PR team. He and Angelina Jolie are well-known for not having dedicated PR, it is unusual for that level of fame.
I also did not watch SWATH for Kristen.
Theron was my first reason. Hemsworth’s hotness was my second.
Agree. CT was my reason for watching SWATH
Me too. I went to see CT, and because it looked cool, like an adult version of a fairy tale (who could have guessed how very adult!) I didn’t think Kristen was bad in it, but I don’t see the need for a sequel.
How you gonna have “pure” snow white played by the actress who had an affair w/a married man? This sequel will never happen.
Kinda like Breaking Dawn is all about eternal love… it’s just ridiculous.
Hmm…I don’t know. I kinda want them both to go away; Kristen was certainly the worst part of SWATH and I’m not too sure if many went for her. Of those that did, I think they might have gone to see how bad she was. Theron & Hemsworth were the main pulls.
You self-righteous people seem to forget Rob would probably still be un employed and living in a squalid flat in London if Kristen hadn’t talked Catherine into casting him. I am a fan of both Kristen and Rob and am looking forward to enjoying all of their projects. I think that a lot of the most judgmental posters are probably old enough to be his mum but are still having sexual fantasies about him. No matter what happens with him and Kristen I doubt he likes you trashing her.
Honey, I can assure you I AM definitely old enough to be his “mum” and I can also assure you I AM NOT having sexual fantasies about him. I find him completely unappealing and wouldn’t be attracted to him if I was simply old enough to have been his “nanny”. Jeez
The bottom line here is the boundary that seems to have gotten blurred is that of fantasy and reality of the movie characters BY the fans. Us non-fan general public just see the situation for what it is … two very selfish people who carelessly f*cked up a whole bunch of lives in the back of a mini cooper. PERIOD. And that is what is being “judged” here in the court of public opinion.
Wasn’t Rob in some obscure independent film prior to “Twilight”? I believe it was called … hmm, let me think … oh, right — “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” I realize that nobody really saw that movie, but he did get some work prior to Kristen anointing him. It’s not impossible that he might have succeeded without her.
Are you including yourself in the category of women fantasizing about him that are old enough to be his “mum”, because this 22 year old is not. I’m not a fan of either, but if I had to choose one it’d be Rob. You know why? Because Rob can act circles around Kristen.
Self-righteous? Ummmm. How ’bout “righteous indignation”? If you like her — fine. Keep buying her movie tickets and magazines. And don’t EVER think about those two kids and the moment when a classmate pulls out the pix of their father munching on K-Stews biscuit.
Universal shouldn’t replace the director. He did a wonderful job. They should replace KS. She wasn’t as bad as in Twilight’s movies but she was the weakest link in SWATH. I think she was miscast from the beginning.
My opinion has nothing to do with the meltdown affair thing or whatsoever.
I remember watching the film and recognizing Kristen Stewart 3-4 times just standing there with an open mouth when she had to do “scary” scenes – I’d even say she played Bella better than SW.
Plus many scenes were bad directed/written – they had so many great ideas and then messed it up. This deer thing was so ridiculous! And how could SW, after many years of being captured in one room, swim and fight like she was trained??
I won’t watch Ho White and the Humpsman II when it comes out, but I will be sure to buy the Directors Cut on Blu-Ray! I’m sure there will be lots of extras and Easter Eggs, such as all the time Rupert spent personally positioning K-Screw in all the cramped stagecoaches. Stuff like that.
Also, I found it funny that Radar said “Liberty Ross has demanded that Rupert pull out” No, I don’t think Rupert knows how to pull out!
😀 I had the exact same reaction to the line about Rupert Sanders pulling out!! Glad to see my mind’s not the only one down here in the gutter! Hey… maybe our drink for this fiasco should be The Mudslinger… just a thought.
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.
Who are you talking about?
ha ha! bns, she must be talking about all of us, jealous bitches who dare to condemn Kstew for f-cking up.
OIC
*eyeroll*
Maybe but not as ugly as fcuking a dude that is married with kids to validate yourself as being hardcore and super cool.
^5
What a relief that we are all not jealous over here.
So is delusion. Sit down.
Honestly I think Universal would have them both work together again just for the buzz it would start about the movie.
And also, am I the only one that thought the first SWATH blew? Kristen was as blahhhh eyebrow raise in mock concern blahhhh as always, but I feel like even Charlize was a little sketch. She got a tad too dramatic for me. Like at one point it just got silly.
Costumes were cool though..
Some of the reviews blamed the director for not reigning Charlize in a little. Things aren’t looking good for our Rupert. Too bad, so sad.
A critic said Charlize only expressed her character through screaming – which got annoying. Charlize is usually so much stronger.
And I also found Kristen weak. She tried so hard to show different face expressions, there was nothing natural to it.
Please, KS fangirls, stop attacking everyone who doesn’t worship your “goddess”. Thank you very much.
She looks so child-like in the first picture next to him, the height difference and age difference are so HIGHLIGHTED. It does gross me out. His wife is similiar coloring but tall and womanly. I am sure she is no innocent and her EGO is so HUGE but you grow-up so much in your 20’s and 30’s. I wonder when she is 41 years old how she will look back on her involvement with him?
Kind of takes the White out of Snow White. Let’s see what Charlize Theron does to the little twat in a sequel
mwahahaha
Theron is not a box office draw, that’s just the reality of the situation. she’s an accomplished actress and a sex symbol, and her acting turn in commercials were definitely a high point, but she is not going to be seen as the draw for that film.
Kristen’s draw is very, very questionable too, which I think lends to the argument that the biggest draw of snow white was its fairy tale appeal.
It was a big summer action movie with Chris Hemsworth. That was the biggest draw I think. Kristen did draw in fans, but her reviews were the worst of her career.
And I still don’t understand how this movie was profitable, based on it’s budget. It didn’t lose money, but it wasn’t some massive hit either.
It’s awful to imagine but I don’t see Kristen’s carreer be permanent damaged because of this. It might actually help her, that’s Hollywood, and it’s disgusting to me. She cheated on Robert in public, making a event that is already painful on itself into a world of pain and public humiliantion for him, that can very well have an impact on his personality from now on, and she will be rewarded for it. So on top of all the hurt that she caused him, he will have to see her succeed BECAUSE OF IT. There are industry types saying that this was the best thing that could have happened for her. I can’t imagine being humiliated like this by someone that I love and trust and see this person that turned my life into a living hell get ahead in her carreer because of the pain that she caused me. He might not be a good actor but always seemed like a super nice guy, obviously I don’t know the dude, but I don’t think he deserved this. I just wish him the best really. And that super immature, entitled, liar, selfish bitch might not be over but will never get my money. I wanted to see SWATH but gave up at the time beacause I didn’t want to give my money to someone I never admired. I didn’t had reason to do that before, glad I do now.
+1, go Rob!
I hope his career surpasses hers by miles and miles.
I honestly don’t think this “momentary indiscretion” 😉 will impact Kristen’s career. She’ll be in SWATH2 and will probably be signed onto a few more big budget films in the meantime. We all know Hollywood loves its scandals.
Rupert, I’m not sure.. I don’t think he will actually pull out of SWATH2 if he is given a choice. If Kristen wants him out, I think he will be out, because they’re going to cater to her over him. But if left up to him, I don’t think he will take the out.
But If he does pull out willingly I can’t imagine another studio taking a chance on him for another big budget movie for a while.
This won’t hurt either one. A kiss with no actual proof of anything else and none of them will carry on to the public or twitter. All of them will handle their issues privately.
snooze, couldn’t they find another director to guide kw on how to vengefully ride a galloping horse through the forest w/ intent…? didn’t watch (the constant tv promo’s BUGGED “mirror mirror on….” COINCIDING with that Snow White/Julia Roberts hernia/laugh attack ‘FETCH!”)
is this movie worth a sequel?
how many times can snow white reclaim her virginty…??
I think Universail will get rid of Rupert Sanders and move forward with the sequel. But if they decide to keep them both than Kristen will probably have a limited role.
What i really want to know is what Rob’s family think of this whole thing. They must really hate what has happened.
Why is she always giving the finger? I don’t know what kind of impression she is trying to give, but she always comes off as a tacky, slutty piece of no-class trash. JMO.
It’s my opinion as well. Who on earth thinks that giving the finger randomly in public is a good idea? It has to be one of the most immature, faux “edgy” things I’ve ever seen.
How stupid do you have to be to give the finger on the red carpet? It just seems to never have occurred to KS that if she really, truly, were edgy, she would not be on a red carpet in the first place. What a twit.
Unless she’s a really professional, likeable person to work with (and she may well be, I have no idea) KS is not doing herself any favors with her infidelities, finger-giving, and lack of showering.
it’s so logic !(irony)
I’m shocked at the stuff some people have been posting in all these Twihard articles.
“Shut up, you’re just jealous!” is the motto of the Sparkly Boyfriend Club apparently. (Well, going by the general standard of these comments, it’d be spelt ‘your just jealous’ there).
Someone tell me when they go back to their Facepalm fangroup page please, so we can go back to discussing things like adults.
you’re is correct for you are.
and spelt is incorrect, it should be, spelled.
Read it again. You’re just jealous is correct. It means you are jealous. I suggested they’d spell it your because they can’t spell, or read.
As for spelt, you can use both, spelt or spelled, (google it), but thanks for the suggestion.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt
“Spelt” is proper British spelling (see also “learnt”).
A lot of British people post on here.
…and apologiSe and favoUrite and humoUr blah blah blah. We aren’t all Americans.
Sally —> {{{HUGS}}}. 🙂
Yes, my learned friend is correct. I’m Australian but we learnt the Queen’s English at school. 😉
Spelt is correct. Your comma use, on the other hand, is not.
But internet tells me “just jealous” should be spelled (or spelt) “jez jelluz”.
Your post is one of the most juvenile ones here. So continue on with your “adult” conversation….
See these responses are exactly the sort of thing I’m talking about. You’re all so butthurt. The only people who would get offended are the ones who want to glitter their boyfriends. The rest of us are laughing at you.
Yes, posting here merely to mock those who are actually discussing the relevant topic is the far superior thing to do. Butthurt and offended? Ok, sure. I am not sure what I am supposed to be offended by. I find your comment was completely pointless, moreso than anything else on this board. How that makes me a “butthurt Twihard” I have no idea….
Were you just waiting for someone to respond so you could pull out the glitter-on-your boyfriend line??
I always regret engaging in these stupid exchanges.
I call BS on this:
her career took a hit, she’s not in a position to even THINK about SWATH2, and no sane producer would put these two together again. there would be backlash, at least from twihards. what will become of her career remains to be seen.
I think she’s in position of no control of any of it, actually-she screwed up bad-in the eyes of the twihards (she cheated on st. Sparkles), the MiniVan majority (dirty homewrecker, how dare she attack and LURE 40+ yr old married, innocent man), her staff (her brand is standing on shaking legs, if it hasn’t fallen to it’s knees aready) and her boyfriend.
she can just wait, and grovel for what she finds the most important of those 3, at this point.
wouldn’t want to be in her shoes.
and boy how lucky I am that paps didn’t follow me around when I was 22.
Kaiser, this is one of those rare times I find myself with a point of view far different than your own.
While I don’t see the final Twilight film doing badly, I don’t see these recent events helping it at all. The underlying “sell” of the Twilight books and then movies was the idea of this very chaste, virginal love. To these ‘tweens, that love was so powerful it extended from the screen into a real life affair between the film’s two stars. It was a teen love that even parents could get behind and support.
Those young twihards (and their parents) might not be quite so enthusiastic looking at the big screen seeing Bella kiss Edward while in the back of their minds envisioning her swapping spit with some 40 year old skeevy married dude. The operatic image of the endlessly pure twilight romance would be forever mingled with the sound of toilets flushing the projectile vomitus of sickened Twihards 🙂
So, I think the film does o.k., but not as well as the prior installments. My take, Twilight peters out with more of a whimper than a bang because the bubble is burst and there’s no bringing it back.
Rupert Sanders and his career going forward? Again, I differ. I think the movie studio powers-that-be don’t like it too much when the man in charge of a production, and responsible for an awful lot of money, starts fiddling around with the talent. Particularly when that talent is half his age, famous, and worth a good deal of money to Hollywood. I think the studios will be extremely wary of this guy going forward. I think they will be extremely concerned over his having abused his position and authority. Further, at least in the U.S. these are very conservative times we live in. It’s hardly a conservative ideal to have grown, married men with kids, engaging in affairs (in automobiles, no less) with young starlets (even if these conservatives are often a phony and deceitful bunch that pretend to be something they are not…). I can see Sanders getting replaced for a SWATH 2 if that film goes forward, and not having a great deal of work over the next few years.
As for Summit, you mention “their plans for the publicity tour”. Then you give a quote that doesn’t mention a single word about the publicity tour, but rather, simply states Summit is moving ‘full steam ahead’. What does that mean?
Perhaps there was something more to their statement that you didn’t mention, but I think its revealing that the quote you offer says nothing about what their plans for promoting this film will now be. That’s probably because they now have no freaking idea how they’re supposed to do that when the 2 stars are entrenched in this very intense drama that is about all things the Twilight films are not.
Pattinson would be doing a very nice favor for BD2 if he makes like he’s forgiven Stewart. At the same time, he would probably be doing something really lame for his career as it would practically make him come off like some wimpy hairdresser after all that Stewart has done and dragged him through. It’s anyone’s guess right now how he intends to handle that; I feel for him, because he wasn’t really left any decent way out. So far, he’s the smartest of the bunch though, simply by having kept his mouth closed.
“So, I think the film does o.k., but not as well as the prior installments. My take, Twilight peters out with more of a whimper than a bang because the bubble is burst and there’s no bringing it back.”>>>>totally agree with you on this!
And I think Rob has all the power here, Summit needs him very badly for promo. So much depends on how he decides to handle this. But he has never been one to bend to studio pressure before, he wouldn’t do something just to appease them (professional but not pushover?). There is just so much money riding on it for so many people – what an awful position to be in.
Apart from BD2, what are KS upcoming projects?
Cali with Pettyfer (sp?), a new movie, that she has just landed and something else.
Thank you very much, Nina!
Sure, Aria 🙂
According to Gossipcop she’s doing the lead role in “Lie Down in Darkness”.
Great book by William Styron but I’m not watching the movie with her in it.
Deleted my comment- oops, I see this is already posted below.
In other news, stew has just got a lead from none other than JLaw that she always wanted: Peyton in “Lie down in darkness.” Yet another movie to be destroyed by Ms stew.
It’s smart of her to stick to indie’s for now. Maybe in a few years she can go back to big studio projects if they want her that is.
The casting hasn’t been confirmed (yet), but it got people talking about something other than Kristen doing the squelchy with Sanders. So there’s that…
Damn, I really would have liked to see it with Jennifer Lawrence!
Ah crap, really? Damn it, that’s two movies I wanted to see that are dead to me now. On the Road was the other one.
Well the girl just got cast in a coveted role that JenLaw wanted. So she’s going to be fine.
Correction:JLaw not only wanted it but JLaw also got it. But JLaw is busy and overbooked, and that’s how stew got it. She was not their first choice, lisa…
Fine, but second choice? That’s pretty good. Why knock it? It’s a good coup for her.
I wish Jen could get out of the Xmen sequels. She was a mess in that movie. They turned Mystique into something else. I’m sad she had to give up this role she wanted so much to do that crap.
I think JLaw is light years ahead of her, that’s why I felt a need to clarify.
From this bunch of new faces (Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, Mia Wasikowska (spelling?), Emily Browning) I think Jennifer has the greatest potential. It’s a shame she won’t play Peyton.
Again KS is miscast. Emily Browning would be perfect. She was amazing in Slepping Beauty.
That’s a shame… I hate to see Stew get “rewarded” just following all the recent drama. Besides, I think JenLaw is a much better actress and shows infinitely greater class and professionalism. Way too bad they couldn’t wait for JenLaw’s schedule to open up, unfortunate!
meh, jl and ks were definitely on the short list together. And I do think jl is a better actress generally. But your assertion jl turned down doesn’t really fly, given there is no financing or start date, and it’s been in development hell for years. There’s no need for urgency in terms of scheduling, they’re just trying to drum up money now. It’s also a small enough project with a shorter filming schedule that could accomodate JL’s work schedule. Her being attached would be better for financing frankly, being more reputable an actor, having a bigger franchise, and being scandal free. All signs point to KS being offered it before JL. Her spouting off about the project in a magazine earlier this summer seems to mean this was in the works for a while.
Lainey reported that Kristen beat out Jennifer.
I never read that Jen had the role first, just that she wanted the part to. No proof that she had actually auditioned for it. Besides, the movie doesnt even have a budget yet so if they wanted Jen they could of waited. Personally, I find Jen and Kristen to be the same (acting wise) except Jen isnt twitchy. Their both boring to watch.
Oops, not so fast. She’s “attached” but does not have an offer and there is no financing and no start date. Colin Firth was once attached but bailed. Basically it’s nothing right now, her team is trying to change the subject. Nice try.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kristen-stewart-lie-down-darkness-male-lead-357819
actually, this would be a horrible idea for damage control, because it’s begging the media to draw paralells to the character with Kristen’s recent eff-ups. And many sites are already zeroing in on the fact the director for the project is young, handsome and married. This piece of news only prolongs the talk about her personal life choices, it doesn’t distract it at all.
and now it says it’s still to early, no one is attached yet..
That pic of Kristen showing her middle finger! UHH! I just get this murderous feeling when some celebrity shows his/her middle finger at others. I feel like chopping their middle fingers off! If they hate paparazzis so much, then why the hell did they joined this fame industry?
Coming back to the topic, I think both Kristen and Rupert should be dropped from the next SWATH part. I have decided not to watch any movie of Kristen or Rupert. All my excitement towards the BD 2 has gone now. Don’t want to watch this wh*re.
She actually said to paparazzi “Freeze to death”. That’s when I thought, she’s probably a bit dumb.
Apparently, the latest news is that Liberty Stewart has put her foot down and forbidden her husband to ever work with KStew again. Apparently. Not that I give a flying …
I think that actors and actresses live under a different set of rules than the rest of us.
I think producers don’t care how actors live their lives as long as they can bring in the money.
I think many actors and actresses think they live under a different set of rules, but in my opinion they don’t. We are all the same.
You know, Sally, this is the first thing you have said that I agree with. Otherwise, how can we explain the longevity of crazy Cruise? Everyone thinks he is nuts, and most people claim to hate him, but he books movie after movie.
I think Tom Cruise is actually walking on thin ice…one more false step and he’s done.
The only thing big studios care about is the money they get – if there is an audience to watch the film, fine – if there’s not, because many can’t stand the actress/actor anymore, they are done.
If and I say again IF this is a publicity PR stunt and the whole relationship was fake I say hats off to them all. Amazing… I admit, thinking about it more, it could go either way. Legit or total b.s. The timing of all this sure points into the direction of b.s though. His film coming out, next twilight series…the LAST movie ad hiding out at Reece’s place, who supposedly bearded for Jakey poo all that time. Oi…if this was all fake…amazing.
Can someone please tell me why everyone is acting like Kstew is some amazing actress, who will/ should be getting roles for decades to come. Her acting career is going to be like most young actress; in everything and everywhere for a few years, then someone else will come along and take the spotlight. She’s the IT GIRL for the moment but it won’t last. It seems like most young actresses don’t have much staying power with or without a scandal. Add to that she has very little acting ability and she’ll be off enjoying her millions sooner than the rest.
I agree she’s not a great actress but hollywood disagrees. Many very talented people have cast her is movies, and DO NOT
underestimate this movie she just landed.
So many actresses were fighting over it because it SCREAMS oscar. Everyone was saying that about the role. I know that sounds crazy to a lot of you, but a decent actor put in the perfect role has won many an oscar. Marissa Tomei anyone?
Seriously, I thought she was screwed before I heard about this. But now I think she’s golden. Even if she doesn’t get an oscar, just being nominated can sustain an indie career for years.
I’ve read the book this is based on, if k-stew can’t pull a golden globe/oscar nomination from this role, she really has less than zero talent.
I don’t think she can pull of a nomination – the role sounds not like her, it will be very hard for her to play a girl who is comfortable with her body (or physically beautiful, I don’t know the role exactly).
Rob should dump her now and in the meanwhile they’ll figure how to act for BD2.
Rupert is ‘disappointed’ he can’t work on SWATH 2. Really? How dumb can he be? He digged his own grave.
Anyway I’m on in for a sequel, but as some of you suggested just with the ‘Huntsman’ and no Snow white.
Bottom line is, whatever happens next will be dictated by money. I suspect Slutty Sanders will be- ahem -motivated to opt out of working with Kristen in the future. But if Universal thinks a SWATH sequel will be profitable they’ll move it forward, with Kristen starring.
We’re about due for a moratorium on this subject/this chick.

Julia Roberts quite infamously dumped her live-in boyfriend (Liam Neesom) while carrying on an affair with her costar during the filming of “Steel Magnolias.” Subsequent to that, she literally left poor Keifer Sutherland at the alter – bolting two days before the event. Half of Hollywood was in town for the big wedding. And isn’t she currently with some random camera man she met on set. He was married when she took up with him. I seem to recall that Julia Roberts career somehow managed to survive various scandals. As long as Ms. Stewart continues to make money – all will be forgiven in Hollywood.
I think what you’re trying to say here is that all Snow White movies have cheating douches in them.
That was in the days before social media. Different times, different rules. I think in the long run Kristen will be fine, but there weren’t boards like this during Julia Roberts’ scandals.
Julia Roberts had two oscar nominations under her belt at the time she left kiefer sutherland, who by the way was raked over the coals for cheating on her prior to the wedding. So many women came forth after julia cancelled the wedding stating that he was sleeping with them while he was with julia roberts, so although she left him at the alter most people blamed him for it not her. I am no roberts fan, but she later went on to prove that her name and likeness puts people’s butts in the seats, and she didn’t have to be a part of a shitty franchise to do it. Last, all of roberts “indiscretions” aren’t photographed and plastered all over the internet and tabloids.
If BD 2, doesn’t make as much as part 1 she will be blamed and I don’t see how they are even going ahead with SWATH 2 at this point. With that said, I agree that if she brings the studio’s money she will be fine, I’m just not that confident that she will be able to do just that in the long run, and this “momentary indiscretion” makes me think she isn’t that confident either IMO.
I am not a Julia “the person” fan at all, but she did have more depth and range as a young actress then KLewd has.
I say she is DOOMED sooner because of of her mini cooper muching episode, but she was doomed to go away anyway because she really isn’t a broad talent. Can you see her doing a comedy?
I can see the studio now, they are developing THWSW – The Huntsman Without Snow White – and hunty is moving on to bigger and better conquests…maybe Rapunzel, or Little Red Riding Hood or even Gretel (sans Hansel). They will be sending out casting calls any minute now. Yep.
>this!
Part of her “deal” was managing and maintaining the faux-relationship. Am convinced it was contractual with adjustments for “non-performance”. The problem (for her) isn’t cheating but getting caught. It affects BOTH her and RP’s income. Robert being pissed about loss of income may be the only truth in this farce. Unless she can translate the negative press into positive revenue — she’s screwed.
So, when someone compares KS to Roberts it makes me smile. Why not Lohan instead?
I’m with mainland and Chatcat on this one. I really don’t see a viable comparison between a young Julia Roberts and KStew. In fact, not even close. Roberts had a lot more depth and a much broader audience demographic than Stewart has come close to demonstrating. Also, while there seems to be a good deal of ‘anti-Roberts’ attitude nowadays, I think when she was young people did like her, and she had many fans. Wasn’t she at one time referred to as “America’s Sweetheart” in one of the major weekly magazines, like Time or Newsweek or one of those? I don’t think Stewart comes even close to Roberts’ versatility, and the fact is even at this early stage of her career Stewart seems to have a lot of people that just plain don’t like her. I think her attitude rubs many the wrong way.
Funny thing is I started out a fan of hers and thought her acting was promising, though mostly in films outside of Twilight. But this recent cheating thing has ended it for me. I can’t see myself ever being able to warm up to her again. I want to be able to find something I like and/or admire about my “stars”. As it turns out, Stewart just doesn’t fit the bill.
You’re right. It’s not whether she’s the worst offender. But it feels like a line was crossed. Not the beard relationship crap. (Robsten had a looming end-date anyway.) Now she’s a business risk. Period. And during times of economic uncertainty businesses become increasingly CONSERVATIVE. Those pix of her and that azzhole director are NOT helpful to the guys with money on the line.
Was she not in a movie, I believe, called Adventureland and she was dating the nice sweet kid that played the Facebook guy, Mike Zuckerburg, but wound up cheating on him with the Adventureland manager, Ryan Reynolds, who was married with kids?
I may be late mentioning this as I am sure others have but it’s funny how life imitates art.
Has everyone forgotten about Elizabeth Taylor? KStew is boring compared to ET. Rupert is probably drunk with power, and wants a young lady to share his bed. I don’t approve, but alas, most men are driven my ego & desire.
I wonder if Kristen, feeling trapped, is playing the “want him back so bad” card hard in the press, but actually knew and knows he doesn’t accept cheating and knows she’s gaining her freedom.
i agree and it will work with delusional fans. its also an attempt to blame it on robert. “oh she loves him so much and if he really would love her, then he would forgive her”
who says robert has some hardline stance on cheating? I mean, all these assumptions about his stance on it are just derived from years old interviews for twilight promotions. I think most couples in hollywood are actually in open relationships.
Actually, he gave an interview earlier this year which was published in the April edition of Vanity Fair, in which he said he’s never understood why people cheat. So, as I interpret that statement, he’s made it pretty clear that he is just not at all OK with cheating. I guess KStew should’ve read that interview before her big makeout session with The Douchebag Director.
they are both disgusting
I’m hoping Sparkles can find his way to forgiving her, but that doesn’t mean forgetting… he’ll be better for letting go of the anger eventually, but he’d be a chump to take her back.
Having said that, I don’t know that I would ever be able to forgive. Stop being angry? Maybe. I could get to a point where I just don’t care. Hopefully Sparkles can too. I’m not a Twilight fan, don’t know or care much about either actor, but my cousin met him on the Cosmopolis set and said he was a really nice guy. He didn’t deserve to be treated this way…
That’s one of the many sucky things about this, everyone says what a good guy he is. i don’t think I have ever heard from anyone that he has worked with say anything bad about him.
I have no idea what kind of boyfriend he was, but if nothing else, I bet he was really good to her. If she outgrew him or whatever, why didn’t she have the courage to tell him, with all her honesty big-talk.
Oh, Puleeze…Kristen Stewart is nothing compared to real actresses. She may have been good for Twilight or something of the like, but big time talented? I think not. I don’t blame Liberty for banning her husband from working on another sequel with Kristen, makes total sense to me, although I’m surprised she is taking him back at all. i do not dislike KS, but I consider her a lightweight actress who only got into the business because of her connections and her parents; otherwise, she’s nothing that special, sorry.
give it a rest with the parents thing, her dad is a stage manager and her mom a screen supervisor, they don’t have power to get her roles, she landed her 1st job after a school play, ahd then went on to work with Fincher, the rest its history, you may not like her but hollywood people and producers like her, she just got casted for a huge role, she just did OTR that has won her some critical acclaim as well.
She is doing the right thing right now, she is going back to indies, and then she’ll probably keep alternating, she can choose what she wants to do next, she is not fighting for scripts, even after the scandal, she has a good indie reputation, and this new roles seems perfect for her.
As for SWATH, she only needs to say something and the dude will be replaced, there is no way she does the movie with him again, he is very easy to replace.
But don’t you think her fan base is seriously damaged? I liked her before and thought her craziness was just due to immaturity, but now I think she’s a egoistical and self-absorbed brat. I don’t want to see a movie with her anymore.
I know Kristen tries to be the antithesis to the stereotypical bimbo/shallow/ditzy/sorority sister type mean girl with her greasy hair, foul mouth, grungy clothes and “bad ass” attitude. But I argue that she is just as much of a mean girl as the girls she tries so desperately to differente herself from.
She just comes off as a mean little stinky b i t c h.
“Mean little stinky bitch”! Haha, totes agree!
The publicity tour will be epic. Some interviewers DGAF and will ask personal questions, so I imagine there will be some awkward silences on RPatz’s part, and scowling and eyerolling from Kristen. Which actually isn’t unusual.. so… But still. should be a good time.
I would never let a guy who would wear THAT coat go down on me.
“pull out as director”… hilarious!
This coverage has reached the point of parsing out every detail, major and minor, over and over again.
Really, this stuff goes on on Hollywood all the time; those two were just stupid enough not to rent a hotel room. There really are no interesting nuances to it; just another Hollywood cheating story. Maybe if she was 41 and he was 22, that might be different!
And yes, Kristen’s career will recover, despite the Twihard hysteria.
At some point, this drama will move on in the news cycle, hopefully soon.
Other stuff-I like the tacky story about Michael Phelps’s team mate-there is an Olympics going on!
Ugh where did all these twihards/k-stew stans come from ?? Y’all need to go back to E online.
White knighting the same chick that called her fans retarded when twilight first came out. LOL. Look at your life, choices, etc.
Kristen fans…God made y’all special. That’s the nicest way to put it.
I wonder if Stewart has to become familiar with what hubris is all about by now…
Hubris! I love that word, good choice!
Eh, I went to see SWATH because of Charlize, and I’ve had a HUGE crush on Sam Claflin since Pillars of the Earth. That man in armor just makes my knees weak! Stewy just happened to be in it, but had nothing to do with why I paid $12 to see it.
After the weird comments Stewart made in some recent interview about wanting something bad to happen to her and then this situation blows up….just seems so full of leftover teenage angst and drama. She’s going through at 22 (with a 41 year old) what most well adjusted people got out of their systems in high school.
She should put this down to a hardcore learning experience, take time off acting and focus on learning some social skills.
Eh, whatever.
It’s a cliche that the director screws the talent for a reason. With as horrible as her acting is in Twilight and The Runaways, I can easily imagine banging the director being the reason why she is still getting cast. Perhaps I am jaded by the Hollyweird stories but I really don’t look down on her much for this. I was somewhat sympathetic to her before and thought perhaps she just needed a little time to grow out of Bella. I liked the awkward, normal person suddenly famous schtick she had going on. Now she’s proved she’s like all the other Hollywood bimbos who sleep with whomever to get ahead. She does what she has to do I suppose, I just wish people would stop casting her so she won’t ruin any more movies.
Rupert may get away with this but I doubt it unless he is already contracted to something else that becomes a huge boxoffice hit right off the bat. It’s pretty iffy for him since this is his first movie and he’s already been caught schtupping the talent. Everyone knows it’s done but the first rule is to not get caught.
Liberty will probably stay, at least for now, so that his career doesn’t take too hard of a hit. I’m sure Rupert has spun his own version of the story around her painting Kristen as either a huge whore or heartbroken about problems with Robert and he was just comforting her but it got out of hand. Anything Liberty can use to convince herself that it wont happen again.
I can’t stand Kristen Stewart. She has made something like 30 million dollars off of her movie franchise, she is set for life, and has opportunities everyone else can only dream of. Yet she always puts forth this surly, ungrateful, and generally unlikeable persona. I don’t find her to be a very talented actress or stunningly attractive, either, she just seems like a regular girl who got incredibly lucky.
This will all be old news within a year. No-one’s careers will be tainted. There will be some other scandal or two to replace this one. Summit would be thrilled at the extra scandal/spice to coincide with BD2. Rupert/Liberty’s marriage will survive, even if she has him well & truly by the balls from now on.
so it’s going to be Twilight: Breaking Down. Forever.
can’t wait.
This is making me wonder if this scandal is actually fake.
But then I remind myself that Sanders has a wife and 2 children, so no woman would have ever agreed to be so humiliated, even if it skyrocketed her husband’s career, and no parent would wants such damaging publicity to affect their children even if that means more earnings to the family.
I personally LOVE Charlize Theron, and that is why I went to see SWATH! She didn’t let me down either. And Kristen was actually OK as Snow White. I am also a Twilight fan despite the unrealistic story and mediocre acting. But….Michael Sheen and Christopher Heyerdahl were well worth the wait in New Moon and BD part 1! Plus I am a big fan of Billy Burk!!! Kristen as Bella was actually played out well because she fit the character to a tee. Bella was always annoying until she becomes a vampire…lol! Hopefully it will all be old news and Kristen can chalk this up as an unpleasant reality check for her. Once “Twilight” is over with I guess we will all see what kind of longevity she actually possesses….
I think there is a problem: can a Snow White and the Huntsman II be a big success without Charlize Theron?
I have some doubt. I believe Theron was the great attraction of the movie, not Stewart.
Or they’ll bring back to life the evil queen in some way?
