Here’s a fantastic article from USA Today!

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It used to be easier to live a secret life growing up.

You could leave home, disappear from the radar, have different circles of friends, and spend that hidden time figuring out who you are. Now, every move, every mistake, every shift in personality is Twittered, Facebooked, MySpaced, texted and tracked via an elaborate network of cellphones and websites.

That’s how Kristen Stewart sees it. She became entrenched in the electronic babble when she became a superstar last year playing lovelorn good-girl Bella opposite smoldering vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) in Twilight, the blockbuster adaptation of the best-selling novels.

The actress, 18, gets to explore what her life might have been like laying low a generation ago in Adventureland, opening Friday. The coming-of-age comedy about a girl and a guy who fall in love while toiling for the summer at a run-down amusement park is set in 1987 — three years before Stewart was born.

The teenage characters drink, smoke weed, lie to everyone (especially members of the opposite sex) and try their best to avoid abstinence (usually a reason for the lying).

“Movies like Adventureland remind you of a time my parents talk about when they were younger, when it seems like they were so much more independent,” says Stewart, sitting in a beachside restaurant, her back to the ocean. “My dad was living on his own when he was 18. My mom was out (of the house) before she even graduated high school.” Sometimes she wants to ask them: “God, do you guys realize —”

181: Becoming Bella Screen Captures

Captures from the Becoming Bella featurette are now available in the gallery. There’s still a bit more to come from the DVD and The Cake Eaters should be coming in soon so stay tuned for captures from both!

Twilight star Kristen Stewart trades in her forbidden vampire romance for awkward love at an amusement park.

Stewart joins Jesse Eisenberg as a couple of ’80s teens awkwardly trying to find romance in Adventureland. And Kristen thinks struggling to get it right is what makes this film real.

Q: Are you as awkward as your character when it comes to love?

A: I don’t think I’m ever going to not fumble around. I think that’s just life. That’s how you live life is you fumble around.

Q: Have you found it more difficult to have relationships since your rise to fame?

A: The hardest thing in life is to maintain personal relationships and to feel like they’re real and genuine. You’re always going to have expectations that you’re trying to meet and you just have to roll with it.
