Dazed & Confused – Young Blood
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Dazed went to L.A. to take Kristen Stewart away from the glare of the paparazzi and exclusively speak to her about dealing with fame and life beyond the Twilight saga. Photographer David Benjamin Sherry and stylist Katie Shillingford also took Kristen on a psychedelic shoot, from which Dazed Digital have extra shots here, not seen in the magazine. On the shoot, Sherry says “I have never seen ‘Twilight but I was researching lots of images of her. I was inspired by the paintings of Patrick Nagel. I was reminded of a young Jodie Foster or Winona Ryder. I tried to portray a new way of seeing this blossoming teenage actress.”
Metro – Kristen Stewart gets inside Bella’s head
(7 votes, average: 4.57 out of 5)
It is the role that catapulted her to stardom, and Kristen Stewart is about to reprise her part as Bella in the hotly anticipated sequel to Twilight — New Moon
What is it like to be back on set doing another Twilight film?
It’s a little bit surreal to be back doing a second one, just because it’s something that I thought about for an entire year and now it’s happening. But it’s sort of like I couldn’t wait any longer.
It’s hard. Usually you finish a movie and there’s a very long grieving process. You have to lose the character. You have to drop it from your mind or else it just continues to bug you. In this case, I couldn’t drop her completely and I worked in between, which is a strange sensation. It’s weird how easy it was to slip right back into it. I don’t know if it’s because I have such a reference, like the book, or because I knew that I just had to do it. I don’t know, but it feels good. It feels like I can finally release the pressure.

Nylon Magazine – Tough Love
(3 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Kristen Stewart on David Letterman, Joan Jett, and Hollywood’s new blood.
Though she’d caught our eye with her piercing turn with Emile Hirsch in Into the Wild last year, it was her Twilight role as Bella Swann, the mortal love of a “vegetarian” vampire named Edward Cullen (a phrase now synonymous in America with “hot, unattainable soul mate”) that showed she was ready for her NYLON cover turn. Apparently, Superbad director Greg Mottola agrees – he’s cast Kristen opposite Jesse Eisenberg in his new flick Adventureland.
BBC Newsbeat – Twilight star ‘not good at fame’
(4 votes, average: 4 out of 5)
Low budget teen vampire movie, Twilight, is released in cinemas in the UK on Friday.

Independent: ‘Kids have been so mean to me’
(4 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Kristen Stewart is not unlike any 18-year-old you might see sifting through the rack in a second-hand clothes shop or nodding her head at an indie gig, but the difference between Stewart and the average teenager is that she not only performs on screen, but is also expected to be articulate and engaging as she fields questions from the media day-after-day in countries all over the world.
The round of interviews to promote a movie and help make millions for the studio can be demanding and it is easy to forget just how young some of the stars really are. Stewart is learning all about those demands with Twilight, the first film adaptation of the book series written by Stephenie Meyer. “It is the hardest thing,” she says of the levels of press attention now focused on her.
Metro: “I’m low profile”
(3 votes, average: 4 out of 5)
Kristen Stewart has revealed she rarely gets recognised out in public.
The 18-year-old Twilight star has found herself catapulted to instant fame following the success of the film in the States, with her face on everything from badges to bags and posters.
But she said: “I’m pretty low-profile. I can go out I don’t ever get recognised by anybody.”
LA Times: Director Saw The Mania Coming
(No Ratings Yet)
Catherine Hardwicke knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed on to direct the big-screen adaptation of Twilight, the first installment in author Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling young adult franchise about everygirl Bella Swan and her vampire beau Edward Cullen. The filmmaker had turned up to see the author on an L.A.-area stop on her 2007 book tour and witnessed firsthand the near hysteria the books inspire among legions of largely young, largely female readers.
All Meyer had to do was say the name “Edward,” Hardwicke said, and the room would erupt in screams.
