Oh my god, you guys, I’m sorry. I really am. I’m sympathizing with Kristen Stewart, and I think we should leave her alone to lie down in that shitty old bed she made, but this is my job, ok? And if you found that picture of her that I posted up there, could you honestly ignore it? Honestly?
Anyway, sit back, relax, and listen to the inspiring tale of how a Julia Roberts movie changed Kristen’s spiritual journey for the better:
Kristen Stewart is still struggling to get her life back on track and “forgive herself” after splitting with Robert Pattinson following her embarrassing cheating scandal with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, RadarOnline.com exclusively reports.
The 22-year-old star of the Twilight films has been spending her time out of the spotlightreflecting on her actions and turning to self help and enlightenment books in a bid to overcome her feelings of self loathing and regret.
“Kristen is trying to find some inner peace within herself,” a source close to the actress revealed. “And she is reading a lot. She has always been interested in philosophy and spirituality and she has been reading a lot of different books. Strangely enough, the one author that has really been resonating with her is Gandhi, who she decided to find out more about after watching Eat, Pray Love.
“She began reading a biography of his life, then turned to Gandhi’s own writing because she was seeking solace. The quote that particularly stands out for her is, ‘The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.’ While she doesn’t know if Rob could forgive her, that statement has tempered her own regret.
“The remorse she has isn’t completely gone, but Gandhi’s words have certainly helped her find peace with the whole situation. Kristen isn’t beating herself up over it, she’s accepted that everyone makes mistakes and she has to learn from it,” the source said.
I’m glad that Kristen is finally finding some peace and comfort, I truly am. I think very, very few people should have to live with that kind of sadness, and if she truly is as sad as we’ve been led to believe, then something needed to work for her. But that part about how forgiveness is the attribute of the strong? Was it just me, or was that catty as hell?
I don’t think Robert Pattinson is “weak” for not forgiving Kristen. I think if he’s completely ignoring her, he should let her know that it’s over, but I still don’t think he owes her comfort or long conversations or basically anything else. Keep in mind that just a few weeks ago he saw photos of some other dude going down on his girlfriend. He saw lots of photos of another guy kissing and hugging and cuddling and playing with the girl he probably thought he was going to marry. All while she was wearing his own hat. It’ll probably take longer than a month to get over that.
But hey, I never saw Eat, Pray, Love: is it really that amazing?
Well done Kristen! :)
What’s amazing is the desparation and panic of her p.r. machine. If I was in charge of her p.r., I would STFU and not issue any more soppy, icky self-condemnations. Let this crap die, ok? I know a lot of people stand to lose a butt-load of money because of her screw-up, but they keep bringing it up every other day, calling attention to it. She needs to drop off the radar for about 6 months and decide what projects she will be able to do and go on from there like nothing happened.
Yeah, I thought this too. HER PR people should have her hide.
However, the Twilight people have a vested interest in keeping her in the press. Remember little Lindsay and that idiotic Liz and Dick (that name …) tv movie? Her stupidity afforded them countless (inexpensive) publicity.
Kristen isn’t costing them much and at the same time giving them plenty of (almost free) publicity.
In any event, improving her capacity for self reflection, if genuine, would do her nothing but good. I wish her luck.
“Was it just me, or was that catty as hell?”
I saw it that way, too.
Of course we can hope that she never actually said those words herself. These *sources* tend to embellish when they relay their insider-info. :)
Catty as hell. I’m glad Kristen is ‘strong’ enough to forgive herself, that shows almost as much character as not fucking around in the first place…right?
I don’t think rpatz needs to tell her it’s ‘over’. I would think seeing the pictures and moving out is clear enough. Does saying two words really give that much closure?
she was a beard for rpats , surely she deserved some real penis .
I saw Eat, Pray, Love the movie. The book is supposed to be so much better so I watched the movie with low expectations and you know what? It’s not half bad. Julia Roberts is a very decent actor and the movie was really inspiring and touching at times. Worth a watch. It gave me some nice nuggets of food for thought.
The book is way, way better than the movie. I liked the movie well enough, but the book positively blew it out of the water.
PS I’m sure Rpatz is a big enough dude to forgive her, but that doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily want her back. He may legitimately feel it’s time to move on all while still forgiving her. Hope she factored that into the equation.
Yeah, that’s another point. There’s forgiveness as in “you’re not the most horrible person in the world, so stop beating yourself up” and forgiveness as in “it’s ok, I’ll take you back,” and I think Kristen wants that last one. I don’t think Rob’s going to go for it though.
I can’t imagine having to go thru a bad breakup – your person cheating on you in the most embarrassing way possible – and be impossibly tied to your now-ex because of your job. On top of that every gossip site in the world is analyzing your every move. Rob owes her nothing. And if he isn’t answering her calls and texts, that IS his answer….”leave me the eff alone you cheating skank.” Everything pointed all this time to the man being very private so this has to be horrible for him….he didn’t ask for this crap. Once somebody has done this kind of thing to you, how can you trust them again? Granted, they are kids but for that reason they should move on with their young lives….and learn from this situation. Hopefully, Rob doesn’t take this pain he is feeling now out on his next girlfriend. (Why do I care about these people….I’m going to go get a life now….ugh)
