Why Is Kristen Stewart Angry All the Time?

By Jo Piazza Posted Jun 3rd 2010 08:00PM

If I could ask Kristen Stewart one question, I can tell you what it wouldn't be -- Is Rob Pattinson a good kisser? And it isn't because I don't want to know. I do (I suspect he may be a bit of a biter). No, the question I want to pose to Ms. Stewart, the earthly incarnation of the fictional Bella Swan, is: Why so serious?

In real life, K-Stew rarely cracks a smile, not on the red carpet, not in interviews and not when cuddling her supposed boyfriend Pattinson.

Now, we know her permanently-pained expression may have something to do with her paranoia about being constantly watched and photographed in public.

In a new Flaunt interview, Stewart rages about the bane social media has become on her existence. "Twitter f**ks me over every day of my life, because people go, 'I'm sitting next to Kristen Stewart right now,' and then they [paparazzi] show up. I see people on their phones ... It's like, 'Get off your f**king phone and get a life!' I get so mad. It's like you're trampling on someone's life without any regard, and it's rampant. Everyone can do it now. Buy a camera and you're paparazzi; get a Twitter account and you're an informant. It's so annoying."

Memo to Kristen: Sure it's annoying to have cameras in your face all the time, but trust us, you'd miss them if they started ignoring you.

Tweet-happy fans aside, what does the starlet really have to pout about? Blockbuster career? Check. Indie street cred? Check? Hot (probably) boyfriend? Check.

Apparently, a lot. The paparazzi pressure is so intense that Kristen compares the picture-taking to being raped, a comment rape crisis groups aren't too pleased about.

"The photos are so ... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped," she tells British Elle. "A lot of the time I can't handle it."

Last June, Stewart told American Elle that she isn't as miserable as she looks. She's just freaked out by the scrum of cameras. "It's not that I'm miserable, it's just that somebody's yelling at me. It's a physical reaction to the energy that's thrown at you," Stewart said.

Stewart's 'Panic Room' co-star Jodie Foster, a seasoned actress who also found fame at a young age, told Stewart that the young actress could learn a little something from her career path when the two met up at the Oscars (hint hint Kristen, college is good for you). But when asked recently about her advice for the young starlet, Jodie said she thought she was doing just fine.

"She's on the right track. She's a good girl," Foster told People magazine.

Career-wise she may be doing great, but fame comes with a price and unfortunately that price includes cameras and crowds and fans who want to tweet that they saw you, and that's just something Kristen needs to learn to live with because until this 'Twilight' franchise is put to bed, it's not going to end. It's not ideal, but it doesn't suck as bad as you make it seem, Kristen. So smile for the camera -- just once -- and we promise we won't tweet it.

She'll be a has been in a few years and then she'll wish someone wanted to take her picture. These whiny celebrities make me ill ! If her life is so intolerable then why doesn't she find another occupation? Because she likes the money and the perks that go along with being famous but like so many other ungrateful celebrities she doesn't want the inconvenience. Tough!! You can't have your cake and eat it too. She isn't even talented!!

The reason she does not smile is easy to answer, she is a total "See You In Tea"!

By astrid

She had talent before someone told her to go Hollywood. I thought she was great in "In the Land of Women" but then again, she wasn't the lead :T

My word, this young lady is attractive.

By Marina

She is TOTALLY untalented...oh wait...she does a good POUT! Unfortunately that is all she can do. Oh and another talent she has!!! Fussing with her hair, trying to make it POOFY flipping from one side over to the other...what a ridic choice for those movies!

By Diana

My heart just breaks for her. She picked the wrong profession. It must be so tough on her. Grow up and count your blessings and good fortune. You're not that talented and must have been in the right place at the right time. God forbid you ever have a real problem.

By Amy

I can't believe she actually minimized the Trauma of being Raped to having her picture taken. Shame on her. Grow the hell up and start living in the real world, you ingrate.

She seems really unpleasant.

By Ron

She is not angry, she is NORMAL. Why pople have to smile all the time? If G-d wanted that for us he could have fixed our faces that way. I like natural looks and Mona Lisa smiles. Not fake happy. Non smilin g celebrity is a fresh , new gift to this world. I take her natural beauty, delicate acting, talent, shyness any time over those overconfident Barbie dolls. She is just presh. for me.

By CMJ

Ron, if she tried, I'm sure she could smile a few times on the red carpet. That's what she's there for. To promote an image. And when you read her interviews, even ones from overseas, you can tell she's miserable. Some people are just miserable no matter what. I work with a couple of them.

I'm sure you're the expert on anger issues :D

By JP

Give her one week, heck, one day working for minimum wage at a normal job and we'll see just how fast she returns to the red carpet smiling. She's not as cool as she thinks she is.

By mw

I totally agree with you, she has issues. She should be grateful for what she has. Many people would trade places with her in a heart beat.

By kit C

She is great to watch, smile or not. Stoic not angry. Love her.

By JT

Give the girl a break....She is probably so overwhelmed, I'm sure if it was you, you would be overwhelmed too. She does smile and when she does she is even prettier then when she doesn't. Either way I like her and I like her movies....thumbs up Kristen.

By john

Maybe if she had Scientology in her life she would learn to crack a smile! She needs Scientology..she needs Tom Cruise who is willing to bring her to the inner sanctum of the Scientology study program in Malibu. All this young actress needs to do is call the number and Tom will be there for her. Have you considered Scientology?......Scientology......its everything you need and more.
