I definitely think she meant to stay kind of underground. She's the kind of actor who truly seems to love the art of it - not the fame. I'm sure she's happy and grateful for the work and the success, but that doesn't mean this is what she dreamed of. She is not spitting in anyone's face by being ready to get out of the spotlight and back to the craft at times. And yet she can be very sweet and cute during her interviews - she was great in Japan this last weekend. She definitely has a limit though, and that's very human.

ok, does anyone find it funny that we keep saying "she is only human" or "she is just acting human!" Yes, Kristen is human. So is Bella, for now! :) so lets not get too upset with her until Breaking Dawn! haha

Yes, I know cheesy. :)

Very true! I don't think that's cheesy at all! Through even during Breaking Dawn (Gosh! That is so far away when I think about how long we have to wait for it to come out!!! Just til November for New Moon seems like a long time to wait!) Kristen will still be human! It will be so interesting to see the way she portrays the change on screen! I just can't wait! LOL!

I'm so glad this thread has turned a little more positive! I had some points I wanted to make, but I don't think I will now because I don't want to turn the tone again. Anyway.


Has anyone else browsed the photos and footage from the Japan press? Kristen, Rob and Taylor all looked awesome and braved some cold and rainy weather to greet fans. Apparently it was like 3 degrees with rain and sleet, and Kristen faced it all in a little dress so good on her - she must have been freezing! And she was great with fans, one even asked for a kiss and she obliged. (Despite the fact the fan was a bit scary and over excited. I wouldn't have done it, but she didn't even flinch.)

Some pics:
The three together.
Kristen & Rob - SO looks like she's wearing vampire contacts in this hehe.
What a nice dress
Very cute

Hopefully there will be more and clearer footage soon. =]

yeah kristen did look really good at the preimiere...they all did

i love her hair...the color of it is amazing, anyone know what her natural hair color is? i think i read somewhere its a bit of an auburn-brown but was just wondering.

yeah kind of weird for a fan to ask for a kiss from her (if the fan was a girl)...but it's cool she did it i guess..i'm sure we'll hear about it as her new "weird fan encounter". i'd just want a pic with her and i'd be happy but a kiss?? srlsl hahaha.

I didn't like Kristen in Twilight at all. She was awkward (and NO, not in the way Bella was. She was way too awkward and weird). And I'm not a Kristen hater - I've seen her in other movies before. I've liked her in other movies. But in Twilight? I just think she did really bad. It wasn't natural. It was just off and odd and awkward, IMO.

I saw the movie before reading the book, so I've always pictured Kristen as Bella.

IMO, though, she did an excellent job. The thing is, it's all about opinion. I think her portrayal will warm to people (well, everyone except those adamant that bella should be totally different, like the version in the banner for this site), so she will be accepted as Bella eventually.

Her behaviour outside of the movie, including to twilight fans, should have no impact on people's opinion of her portrayal of the character. Who cares if she finds the fans annoying - with the behaviour and the types of questions they ask, I do to.

I liked her dress for the Japanese premiere better than her dress for the American premiere. Far less sweatshirty. But, what's with the weird, flesh colored straps? I can't help but think of a figure skating costume.

And I must say *again* I do love her hair.

I loved her American premiere dress! But yeah, the one in Japan looked a lot better. Kind of Marilyn Munroe (I dunno, just an opinion), either way she's gorgeous :). w00t, go Japan :D

This was posted in the Lex's main blog, more great Kristen stuff. =]
You really need to read the full account over at Twilight Singapore to get the full play-by-play effect with AMAZING pictures that illustrate each moment. The segment had us laughing. Like a lot of their coverage, they seem to have captured the Kristen Stewart we met on set. By that we mean someone who is a little shy, reflective, better one-on-one, and who has a sense of humor when she realizes that you are laughing with her and not at her. This one moment below really stuck out.

Hehehe… Kristen and Robert looks pretty embarrassed here. Well, you guys can imagine what the question was…..check out how everyone is smiling. ;) a nervous Japanese fan asked (you can hear her sigh in the video) Kristen how it felt like kissing Robert. And Kristen asked back, ‘How did you think it felt?’ The fan replied something which I couldn’t hear. Then Kristen said,” SOO much better!!”. WOOOOoooOOOO!! The whole hall crowed and laughed! And Robert’s facial reaction was like, “Oh?” Haha! You guys HAVE TO WATCH the video because I cannot described it! Awesome answer Kristen!!

Hehehe. Now they've had a break they all seem so much more refreshed and ready to get back into Twilight.
