Kristen Stewart Employable Despite Public Weed-Smoking and General Distaste for Publicity

She’s anti-charming in interviews, and she was recently spotted smoking a bowl in broad daylight, all of which seems to make people want her in their movies more.

She took a $10M pay raise to do New Moon, the next installment of the Twilight series, and now she’s been recruited to play Joan Jett in The Runaways, about the punk practitioner’s 1970s all-girl rock band.

Can you think of anyone better to play Joan Jett than Kristen Stewart???

OMG she’s gonna be perfect! She was born to play Joan Jett.

So excited.

  • what? her playing joan jett? joan jett is a goddess, it is completely impossible for anyone to be fit to play her! ecspecially some weed smoking, publicity hating— um, thing!

  • They need to start getting actresses that can manage to smile, and not sound so monotone in the movies.

    Seriously, this girl is over-rated. No talent whatsoever, and shes like a dead log in a movie. No emotion.

    Bleh

    • I agree that she is young and somewhat pretty, but she does not resonate enough emotion other than a 5th grader would. I have read all the Twilight Books and she better “bring it” if she is going to truly represent S.M.’s creation of Bella Swan. She has to really prepare and get those acting chops ready to be the agile, lithe and gorgeous vampire that she will eventually become. She is young and if she stops all the lip biting and monotone, emotionless, memorized lines; and she focus’s on the character that is really there inside her, she will rock us all. Has anyone ever suggested that all this blase acting is “on purpose” and planned skillfully so the audience can see the true contrast when she transforms into a vampire? Think about it. Don’t estimate the power of Hollywood. For me, I just go to look at Edward and Jacob (Rob and Tay). He (Rob) has a presence about him that illuminates on the screen, though no real chemistry with Bella (maybe off screen). And Taylor Lautner’s body is a masterpiece! Now you might be surprised to know that I am a 47-year-old lady (yeah, guilty pleasure). But who really wants to drool over old dudes (with Brad Pitt and George Clooney) as the exception of course. Bye

  • She looks fuckin gorgeous in this picture.

    I disagree with KitKat. I think she is a great actress, better than some of the mainstream actresses anyhow.

  • Bad actress? Really? Wow I think she’s such a GREAT actress! And that she displays emotion in her own totally-not-like-anyone-else type of way.

    I also think she’s really pretty, and I think she’ll do great to play Joan Jett. I mean, I could have thought of better people but….let’s see how it goes. :)

  • I think this is the best pic I’ve seen of her…she actually looks a little like Jena Malone here. Weird. Anyway, her makeup in this picture draws attention to her eyes which are gorgeous. I never really thought she was pretty until now.

  • she is definitely an attractive girl, most of the time, sometimes she can look a little harsh & too masculine for someone so young… i also think she is definitely overrated as an actress & she seems kind of bitchy. her acting skills seem average…she got very lucky with this whole “twilight” explosion. all in all though, she is okay.

  • raye, its funny that you said that about jena malone because when i read the books i was envisioning jena malone playing bella :) although shes probably too old now.

  • I just saw Twilight and the thing I noticed about her appearance with Regis and her performance in the movie is that they were the same. I’m not sure if she is always like that or if she was pulling a Crispin Glover by bringing a fictional character to an interview.

    If you’re not sure what I’m talking about watch the Regis clip and watch her scenes with the other teenagers, like when she makes a sarcastic remark about being kicked out of Arizona.

  • i use to not care one way or other about her but she’s growing on me. this newly developed acting skill (her twitching and blinking) bugs me and i hope she will outgrow it. she was in the land of women, the movie w/ meg ryan as her mom and did not do that. unfortunately, as dantheman stated, she did pretty much act that way throughout her regis interview. which makes me ponder.. was she even acting? can she act?…

  • Jena Malone…. I can totally see it

    this is a great picture of me. And I think she can totally play a mean Joan Jett… I think she has the looks. And definitely some of the bad-ass ‘tude :)

  • I think she’s actually one of the better female actresses of her generation.

    I kinda like her too. The thing about Stewart is I feel like she just really loves acting and that’s all she wants to do, just act and live her life and not deal with all the media attention. I mean, she should probably learn to do press junkets with a smile on her face, but she should be commended for not wanting to thrust herself into the limelight like all these other starletards. She wants to keep her private life private and I don’t think that’s a really big deal. There are a lot of actors out there that don’ t really like doing interviews.

    And yeah, I’ve always thought Stewart was particularly beautiful. She’s got this hard edge to her beauty, I want to look like her!

  • Im sorry, Kristen Stewart is a beautiful (awkward) girl, and she may have been an okay choice in looks for Bella Swan, but her acting is abysmal. Shes monotone, as someone else said, she lacks in emotion most of the time, and it always looks as if shes in severe pain. Her tendency to not smile isnt so much a problem, as she just never seems into anything shes doing. Almost like she doesnt want to be there, really really does not want to be there. I cant watch her interviews its almost makes me ache to watch her stutter and make everything so uncomfortable. If she layed off on the pipe maybe her speech impediments would disappear. I cant believe people are still begging her to participate in movies and the acting business after these photos have been leaked, but at the same time her bad, awkward thing she has going on is kind of alluring. Im a little disappointed they picked her over Alexis Bledel to play Bella Swan. Alexis was ‘too pretty’, sort of an insult to Kristen.

    Anyways, props to her for stickin’ to the natural stuff. ;P
    (as far as we know, anyways..)

  • Mackenzie your a fat a s s anyway so i dont know why you think this is a bad picture of her… because you look 100 times worse… literally fat blonde.

  • doesnt anyone notice that she looks like a guy dressed up in a female ? wearing make up too…
    dont like her at all
    i didnt know that alexis could have played this role… too bad she didnt. she would have been great

  • I just don’t like her, she’s like a vampire, no emotion, no expression just nothing, she was horrible, it’s just google it – Kristen Stewart Bad Actress, and you will find more people share my opnion.

    sorry my english =D

  • if everyone thinks shes such a bad actress than how in the heck did she land a spot in twilight ,shes an amazing actress and shes so real ,she beat out tones of people for bella so shes not a bad actress and anyone can can make a stupid video like that ,so its prolly not even true.

  • twilight is rife with terrible acting. there are a few shining stars, but mostly, kristen stewart’s acting killed it for me. the original storyline was good, which is what makes it addicting for some, but the acting was simply putrid, due in large part to stewart. she probably beat out “tons of people” for bella because stephenie meyer liked her look, but stewart was abysmal. i laughed my ass off for a good five minutes from her one line in the car with edward (“your. hand. is. so cold.”) to her next line a few seconds later (“woah. what. is. going. on.”). there are absolutely no normal tonal inflections in her speech when she’s acting, which makes for a stiff and emotionless character portrayal.

  • Everyone who says Kristen is a good actress prefaces there statement with she’s so beautiful and THAT’S why she get’s the roles, because she’s a cute girl.

    Otherwise she plays THE SAME person in ALL OF HER MOVIES. Have you guys seen Adventureland? It was awful. She was Bella there, too. In fact, I think Bella is as good a choice for Kirsten as they could ever make, because Bella as a character was boring and lacking any kind of appeal whatsoever, so in that way Kristen was well casted.

    But the way she clips and stutters her way through her lines, OMG!!!!

    It just grates on my damn nerves. I don’t see her becoming any better if the New Moon trailer is any indication.

    “Oh, a paper cut. ” With no expression whatsoever, give me a break.

  • who gives a s*** if she’s smoking. everyone does, what i have a problemo with is seeing her everywhere and people thinking she’s the hottest thing. thats dumb. seriously world??? seriously? everything ive ever seen her in shes the same. she’s not acting at all. shes the same in every f***ing thing. same monotone, pretend-to-be-shy, bulls***. Its boring and stupid and a complete waste. if i was ever given half the chance she was to get up there i’d make something of myself, then go toke and watch fight club in my room with nachos. f*** this is so backwards.

  • oh and by the by… you people only like her and think shes sooo great because you dont really know what good is. If ignorance is bliss then you guys must be so easily amused. happy bleh….

  • its funny how much of a diference makes a good picture of her.
    she an awful actris. sometimes pretty sometime not so much. and that´s it. no personality. no talent. no stile. no nothig. what she does is called dressin up!! fuckin lame
    haha joan jett!! so that´s why she´s been behaving like a rockstar wannabe on drugs… I been wondering bout that. thanks 4 the info. altho I don´t really give a fuck.

  • ? hate the weirdo thing which she has going on. ?t might work for her in her personal life but she brings it to every character and it’s the only thing she brings to every character she plays. Twilight and New moon mainly sucked because of her. ? have a feeling people who claim to like her acting only like it because it’s so flat and unaffected that they can project whatever they want her to be feeling and also feel that she must be deep that the mere utterance of an unaffected sentence means she has more beneath the surface. Such a pity really…
