Metro – Enjoying Every Last Drop
(No Ratings Yet)
Kristen Stewart has played Bella Swan, the young woman at the center of the hugely successful “Twilight” franchise, in three films now. But she isn’t tired of her vampire-loving alter-ego. “Everybody always asks, ‘It must be so exhausting, you must be so sick of her.’ It’s like, ‘No.’ It’s like writing a thesis as opposed to writing a paper.”
It’s a good thing she isn’t sick of Bella yet, as Stewart has two more films to complete in the series. The 20-year-old spoke with us about splitting the last book into two parts, taking on “On the Road,” and the madness of the MTV Movie Awards.

With more of the action, love, friendship, jealousy and passion that the series has become known for, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ups the ante with a revenge-fueled, romantic continuation of the internationally popular vampire story, based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series.
With a the evil vampire Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) and a Newborn Army (led by Xavier Samuel) after her, Bella Swan struggles to get her love, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and his family, to work with her best friend, werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and his Pack, to protect her and keep all of them safe from the Volturi (which includes Dakota Fanning).
At a press conference to promote the upcoming release of the film, actress Kristen Stewart talked about her love for acting, the journey of Bella Swan and why she’s happy that Breaking Dawn will be shot in two parts.

Nylon – The Insiders
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
The duo tells us exactly what they think about Twilight fans and rock’n'roll fantasies.
The Runaways is about many things, but perhaps most importantly, it’s about the connection between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, whose friendship boosted the band into short-lived stardom. Twenty-five years after they first jammed in a cramped trailer in the Valley, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning—the duo who plays them in Floria Sigismondi’s debut film, out this Friday—are filling their platform shoes, both onscreen and off. We caught up with the duo to learn how they first bonded and whether we can expect a solo album anytime soon.

Kristen Stewart has millions of fans waiting for her return as Bella in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on June 30.
Meanwhile, she’s been busy in a string of smaller films including The Runaways. Stewart co-stars as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning gets the role of lead singer Cherie Currie in the real-life story of the all-girl band that made music history. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf discovered why Stewart worked so hard to sing and play the guitar and why, after the third time around, it’s not getting easier to play Bella.

Self – “The Runaways”
(No Ratings Yet)
“I don’t think a lot of people know what options the first all-female rock ‘n’ roll band had,” Kristen Stewart told SELF during an interview in New York earlier this week. “A lot of girls don’t realize there was a time when you couldn’t do something, like you really couldn’t do that [be in a band]–it was unexpected and looked down upon. We’ve grown up thinking we can be happy and do whatever we want, but back in the day, in terms of attitude and being who you are just personally, you used to not be able to be.”

Cinematical – “The Runaways” Stars Kristen & Dakota
(No Ratings Yet)
In the new film The Runaways, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning play Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, musical pioneers who broke down gender stereotypes as members of the eponymous band. A sex-charged rejoinder to the argument that men rock harder than women, Jett and Currie found their strength even as their producer and promoter, industry luminary Kim Fowley, took advantage of their youth and feminine appeal. Unlike the characters they play, however, Stewart and Fanning aren’t letting anyone exploit them, even if it’s in the guise of empowerment; the actresses have spent much of their careers redefining the limits of roles young actresses can play, and the women offer equally powerful turns in this film, proving that even a downbeat ending, such as the one that eventually befell The Runaways, can turn into triumph later on.

Alloy – “The Yellow Handkerchief”
(No Ratings Yet)
It may be a bit jarring to see Kristen Stewart so far away from Forks, but at least her new co-star is best friends with Rob Pattinson! Eddie Redmayne and Kristen team up in The Yellow Handkerchief, a film about a road trip through post-Katrina New Orleans. In the movie, Kristen hops in a car with two strangers… and the rest you’ll just have to see for yourself!
What made you want to play this part?
Kristen: When I read the script it was one of those things that you get really excited about and then instantly really sick because you’re not sure that you’ve got the part. I was sort of undeniably emotionally moved by it and I think just regarding the person that I played, she makes such a comeback. I feel like in the beginning she’s so clearly disappointed in everything around her and that first time you see her she’s rejected and that’s what she’s running from.
