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.

its about time something was said about her no smile. The Interviews, her pics no smile, she is pretty. It would be nice to see her smile when she is chating with a reporter or at pictures. Smile Kristen :)

Kristen Stewart. I still see her as that sweaty little diabetic girl in 'Panic Room.' Short blond hair, weak acting skills, basically no talent. I keep waiting for her to bring out her blood sugar wristwatch and give it a looksee.

Charismatic...

It sucks that she's being chased by paparazzi and rabid Twitards, but I can't sympathize her too much. She's living the good life making millions and millions of dollars off of a movie based on a crappy novel.

By Nico Toscani

Maybe she's sad because she knows she's a talentless slag, who will have vanished from the public eye in 5 years time.

I have the answer for her problem, QUIT ACTING! If she hates the spotlight QUIT, SOOO STUPID...

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion about her looks, acting, etc., but seriously, why so many angry posts here? You can state your opinion without being mean and derogatory. Did she run over your dog or something?

I really do not understand why people think that celebrity owe them anything more than what they do. You like Stewart? watch her movies. Don't expect her to smile at you if she sees you in the street! The price of a movie ticket does not entitle you to the details of an actor private life.

I live in NYC, I see famous people all the time around town, at restaurants, in the street even in the retail store I work in, it would never ever occur to me to approach them in any way. When a famous person walk into the store I act like it's anybody and believe me, they appreciate it. I do not know them other than trough their work.

She's young. She'll grow into the fame. She's a new actress and we have to see how her career develops. I think she's cute. Hopefully, she will pick good roles; she has so far. I understand her desire for privacy and also know that this is the wrong profession. Success in this field guarantees a lack of privacy. Broadway is probably good for people who want to act without a lot of paparazzi attention all day every day.

Guys, she's 20 years old! When you all were her age you didn't have people with cameras stalking you, screaming at you, asking you questions about the most personal aspects of your life, etc. On top of that, you didn't have a slew of people like a lot of the people on here talking about what an apparent waste of space you are and how you should just go away, quit your job, smile more, dress differently, etc etc etc. Give the girl a break, seriously. If you have such an intense problem with her, then maybe you should i dont know, pay attention to something else. And if you don't like her acting then don't watch her movies, it's really simple. But your opinion of her acting doesn't hold any weight on wether or not she SHOULD act. She should do whatever the hell she wants to do just like you're all allowed to do. Don't act like she's not good enough to be in the position she's in just because she isn't doing things the way you would prefer that she did them. Personally I hate Twilight but I applaud Kristen for doing what she loves in life. She owes her fans NOTHING except a good performance in a movie that they love. So if you don't like it that she doesn't live the rest of her life to your liking, then get over it.
