SAN DIEGO — Garrett Hedlund is starring in one of the most talked-about movies of Comic-Con, but it’s another of his upcoming projects that is generating a lot of buzz.
During MTV News and MySpace’s live stream Friday (July 23) to promote “Tron Legacy,” MTV’s Josh Horowitz asked Hedlund about “On the Road,” which also stars “Twilight” leading lady Kristen Stewart.
“I’ve been on ['On the Road'] since the fall of ’07, and it’s sort of been on my mind since then,” Hedlund said. “When we jump onto projects like this, we’ve sort of got to tie that kite to a post and hope that it’s still flying as high as it was when you come back to it. Luckily, now with coming off ‘Tron’ and going into that, we’ve got to take that kite off.”
The film has been in pre-production up in Montreal, as the cast and crew get ready to start shooting. Hedlund said right now the cast is going through “boot camp” and “intensive research with biographers.”
Even though they won’t start shooting until August, Hedlund had nothing but nice things to say about Stewart. “She’s got it all there. She’s where she needs to be. She’s fantastic,” he gushed. He also said Sam Riley, who plays Jack Kerouac in the film, is “incredibly devoted and a hard worker and also a fantastic actor.
“We’ve had wonderful times up there in Montreal. Just hoping to make a wonderful film that can fulfill everyone’s expectation of what this can actually be,” Hedlund said. “The family that we’re surrounded by is wonderful and unbelievable and, for me, I’m kind of on cloud nine.”
Stewart also had nothing but kind words for Hedlund when we caught up with her at an “Eclipse” screening last month. “I’ve met him a bunch of times, and I’ve hung out with him twice,” she said of her co-star. “He’s a great guy. … He’s written crazy stuff for it. He’s super into it. Not to sound … I don’t know how to put it. He’s, like, so in character, and he’s driving to Montreal. He’s awesome. I’m really, really excited.”
Kristen Stewart Won’t Wear A Wig In ‘Breaking Dawn’: ‘I’m Going To Have My Own Hair’
We heard Kristen talk a little bit about it on George Lopez but here comes a more into-depth article about what they’re going to do with her hair in Breaking Dawn.
We’ll admit, we were one of many who jumped in on the bashing-of-Kristen-Stewart’s-wig-in-”Eclipse” bandwagon, but hey, it didn’t look that great! After seeing the movie, it wasn’t as bad as we were anticipating, but there were still come scenes in the film that it looked pretty obvious.
After rounds and rounds and rounds of interviews, someone (very unlikely, might we add) finally asked her about WigGate: George Lopez. We’re guessing Kristen’s dad, who works for the show, prompted the question, but still, we’re glad someone had the guts to speak up.
“Is it widely known that, in ‘Eclipse,’ that you were wearing a wig?” George innocently asked Kristen, and she laughingly answered “yeah” just as the audience members started yelling out, “Yesssss!”
We all know she needed to wear the wig because she cut her hair for “The Runaways” (Bella’s hair in “Twilight” and “New Moon” was au natural), but what we didn’t know was just how badly Summit wanted her to not shop her locks.
Kristen Stewart for German BILD Magazine: Interview + Outtake
Here’s a new interview along with a picture Kristen did for the German magazine BILD. It’s such a cute picture of her. Thanks so much to Cullen Enterprise for the translation of the interview. Enjoy!
Kristen Stewart (20), who was born in Los Angeles is “Bella Swan” – the girl who loves the undead vampire “Edward Cullen” – Robert Pattinson (24).
A box office phenomen that scored milliards: “Twilight” – 100 mio. books sold, book 3, “Eclipse”, is about to hit theaters July 15 – a bloody love-saga for teenagers.
The phenomen? Millions of teenagers want to be like her.
In love, lost, cursed.
But who is SHE really?
She is beautiful, pretty, spontaneous.
What is her life like?
“Hotels, planes, journalists, cameras. Where am I anyway? Just a joke! Tomorrow I have a holiday. I’m going to take a look around Berlin.”
Do you google your name? There are 25 millions hits!
She fidgets around in her chair. “Yeah, I mean I have to know what’s going on. I’m a control freak. I hate it, if I don’t know the latest about me. But that’s crazy! What’s written there is frightening. So much rubbish…
She has a dreamjob.
“I work since I was a little girl.” At the age of 11, she became the star of “Panic Room”.
Single?
She smiles. She’s silent.
In love?
She smiles at me. And shrugs. Pert, but very nice. She defends her heart. She’s not a vamp. Not a sex bomb. She’s a girl who’s becoming a woman. She smokes and loves what she wants.
What’s making you upset?
The fact that everyone thinks I’m ungrateful, conceited, arrogant. I love my job. Of course I make mistakes. But doesn’t everyone have the right for mistakes?
The photographers come in. I smell her hair. “What parfume is that?” She shakes her head. “I don’t like parfume! Uh?! You smell the hairspray?” We laugh and leave
Entertainment Weekly has released a new outtake from Kristen and her co-star’s latest feature in the magazine. Enjoy it in the gallery and read the interview below!
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars KRISTEN STEWART, ROB PATTINSON, and TAYLOR LAUTNER talk about the pressures of promoting a blockbuster film:
Kristen: ”Things have looked up for me as soon as I stopped worrying about it and relinquished the control — not even relinquished the control, just realized that I never had it. As soon as I stopped getting nervous and freaked out by stuff, I had a much better time.”
ROB: ”When you first start doing it, it is so overwhelming that you think it’s the most important thing in the world, the whole thing about public image and persona and stuff. And then you realize the whole thing about marketing is just having your face everywhere and that’s it. It doesn’t matter what you say.
TAYLOR: ”I think just by repetition and experience it’s made it more comfortable. It got a lot better when I learned that the easiest way to go about it is just be honest and be yourself.” —As told to Nicole Sperling
The “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” star looks ahead at the final installments of the franchise — and at what it has in store for her career
Kristen Stewart takes one more step toward immortality in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” She’s put her own stamp on Bella, who’s determined to take a walk down the aisle and spend eternity with her vampire lover Edward, played by Robert Pattinson.
Stewart told Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf that, just like her character, she’s grown a lot since “Twilight” first became a cultural phenomenon. But some things haven’t changed.
Honesty is the best policy, no matter what
“I’ve always said that I’m not ashamed of anything that I say because I’m always being honest, even though you can definitely make mistakes. That’s Bella in a nutshell, so I can completely relate to her. I think it’s a good thing to be proud of who you are, no matter what. Success is always something completely different for different people. I feel like I’ve succeeded if I’m doing something that makes me happy and I’m not lying to anybody. That’s why I feel really good about myself right now.”
So does her romance with RPattz go beyond the screen?
“It’s hard to actually take details of your personal life and apply them in a scene because as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it’s like, ‘No, that’s not right.’ You’re playing a different person. You have to leave that stuff at the door.”
Kristen Stewart has played Bella Swan, the young woman at the center of the hugely successful “Twilight” franchise, in three films now. But she isn’t tired of her vampire-loving alter-ego. “Everybody always asks, ‘It must be so exhausting, you must be so sick of her.’ It’s like, ‘No.’ It’s like writing a thesis as opposed to writing a paper.”
It’s a good thing she isn’t sick of Bella yet, as Stewart has two more films to complete in the series. The 20-year-old spoke with us about splitting the last book into two parts, taking on “On the Road,” and the madness of the MTV Movie Awards.
Are you excited about stretching the last book, “Breaking Dawn,” over two movies?
I’m excited. The fans are going to love it because we’re going to have the time to tell the whole story. What happens when you try to cram such a long story into an hour and a half, the first things that are skimmed off the top are the things I love the most, which are details and the little things that make the characters who they are.
Besides “Breaking Dawn,” you’re soon filming “On the Road.”
It’s finally getting made, which is really a miracle. I can’t believe I’m this age at this time when it finally gets made. Somebody the other day was like, “There’s really no plot.” I was like, “What the f— are you talking about?” There is such a line, and with every single character. I wrote a paper on that, and told [director] Walter Salles about it in a meeting that I had with him. I was like, “It’s not very smart, but you should read it, because you can tell that I really love it.” I mean, I was in the eighth grade.
“Twilight” had a good run at the MTV Awards, didn’t it?
I know. It feels weird. There are other movies that are really good every year, and because of our fan base, we’re going to win the [votes]. I hope there’s not too much resentment. [Rob and I] felt like f—ing king and queen of the prom. I never went to high school, so it was like, “Oh, this is what it’s like.”
You and Robert Pattinson won the Best Kiss category, but who were you rooting for: you and Rob or you and Dakota Fanning for “The Runaways”?
I would’ve been really proud if me and Dakota had won. Had she been there, I would’ve done the whole build-up that me and Rob did last year, and then just stop and say, “This just doesn’t feel right. Dakota, where are you?” That would’ve been so funny.
Here’s an interview Kristen and her co-stars did for Journal Gazette. Lots of good questions in there!
LOS ANGELES – The “Twilight” series may have changed the lives of fans worldwide, but perhaps no one has been more affected by its success than the three stars of the series: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.
All became overnight sensations when they were introduced to the novel’s millions of fans as the faces of Edward, Bella and Jacob – the three high-school students with mystical secrets at the center of the story. Edward is a vampire, Jacob is a werewolf and Bella is the ordinary teenage girl loved by both of them.
Pattinson, 24, Stewart, 20, and Lautner, 18, went from bit parts to big stars with the first “Twilight” film. The young cast reflected on the ups and downs of newfound fame.
“Eclipse,” the next film in the franchise, opens Wednesday.
The best thing to come out of the ‘Twilight’ mania?
Stewart: It’s the same satisfaction that I get from any other movie; it’s just that so many more people are paying attention. I always say I make movies for the life experience – literally, you steal from the characters you play – and to know that that’s actually affecting 100 million not only little girls, but really spans the ages of people, it just feels good. It’s so different from anything I’ve ever experienced, so that’s definitely the best thing.
Pattinson: Presenting at the Oscars and stuff, it’s just kind of so surreal. … The control you’re given because of “Twilight’s” success is kind of incredible. It is an amazing feeling.
Lautner: It’s traveling the world in general and seeing this kind of fan support worldwide. We go to Sao Paolo and then we go to Mexico City, we go all over the world and we have fans there with the same amount of passion everywhere we go. It’s just amazing to know we have that kind of fan support behind us.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. –
Did Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart confess their rumored romance backstage on “The Oprah Winfrey Show?”
That’s what one online report suggested in the wake of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” stars’ appearance (with co-star Taylor Lautner) on the show in May, but Kristen told Entertainment Weekly how things really went down.
“She glided over to me – and she was strong, by the way, really firm hands – and she said, ‘How are you?’ I said, ‘Good.’ She said, ‘Good. Are you nervous?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I am, but I think I’m OK.’ She said, ‘Good. We’ll have fun,’” Kristen told the mag. “And then she just walked away. And that was the most I talked to her backstage.”
However, Kristen also addressed something she did say – a recent comment in the media comparing paparazzi photographs of herself to rape, which she later apologized for.
“I’m so sensitive about stuff like that. It is the one subject that means a lot to me. I made one movie directly concerning it and I made another one where my character has a horrible history of rape. I talked to a lot of people about it,” Kristen told EW. “I used the wrong word. I should have said ‘violated.’ But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I just feel like people got so excited once they saw that it was me. It was like, ‘Sweet! Lets get her!’”
Robert also defended Kristen, taking aim at the “little nerds… on their little blogs” who had attacked the comment.
“None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first – who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites,” he noted to EW. “That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy.”
However, Rob added that doing “The Twilight Saga” gave the cast plenty of interview opportunities – and chances to defend each other.
“That’s the only way,” he said of using interview time to dispel rumors. “All of us stick together as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.”
“You can say so much more than me. It’s insane,” Kristen said, chiming in.
“That’s not true at all,” Rob responded. “When did I say anything [controversial?]”
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is due in theaters June 30.
Entertainment Weekly sat down with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner for a feature interview running in this week’s magazine to discuss the world they inhabit within the Twilight universe — both on screen and off. The three young stars opened up about coping under the glare of intense media spotlight, how they rely on one another to pull through, what they think of the upcoming final movie, Breaking Dawn, what lies ahead once the franchise wraps, and much more. In this preview, the three stars talk about gearing up for the final chapter of the saga that has changed each of their lives forever.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You guys are about to start shooting the two Breaking Dawn movies back to back. You signed on to this franchise before Breaking Dawn was written. When you read it, were you thinking, How is this going to be turned into a movie? KRISTEN STEWART: Yeah, definitely. What is Renesmee going to look like? Is it going to be this little teeth-baby running around? It’s going to be weird. ROBERT PATTINSON: [Laughs] “Little teeth-baby.” STEWART: Yeah, but I think it’s going to be cool. One of the main objectives of the series is to get Bella to a point where she’s mature enough to make such a hefty decision, and she goes through a lot. In the fourth one, she is going to become a wife. She is going to become a mom. She is going to become an adult and a vampire. To do it so young, it needs to be believable. So I’m really excited about playing that.
Some people read Breaking Dawn as very pro-life and Mormon because Bella decides to have her baby even though it’s endangering her life. Did any of that bother you when you read the book? STEWART: No, because it made sense. Not wanting to give up the baby is about her holding onto that last thing that she would have to give up if she was not human anymore. Right after she and Edward sleep with each other for the first time, she says, “Oh, f***, I might want to be human for a little bit longer.” The baby is just an even more intense version of that. PATTINSON: I think people make up all these Mormon references just so they can publish Twilight articles in respectable publications like the New York Times. Even Stephenie [Meyer, author of the Twilight novels] said it doesn’t mean any of that. It is based on a dream.
The Breaking Dawn movies are the last in the series. How do you feel about all of this coming to a conclusion soon? STEWART: In terms of shooting them, they’re almost done. We’re going to be done by March. TAYLOR LAUTNER: It will be so weird, the last day of filming that last movie. STEWART: It will be sad, too. It’s been one of the most crazy, indulgent experiences as an actor, to be able to follow a character for this long. LAUTNER: I think stopping will be very weird. STEWART: It will just feel like a chapter has been closed. LAUTNER: A big chapter. STEWART: I’m going to be like, “But wait, there’s this scene…”

As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it’s like, ‘No, that’s not right.’ You’re playing a different person. You have to leave that stuff at the door.”
Kissing him onscreen wasn’t the problem.
“One of the most challenging scenes was probably finally kissing Jacob for the first time. Bella has got such tunnel vision that Edward is the only thing for her. That’s a strange perspective. So when Taylor Lautner and I kissed, it felt like such a different dynamic. I was nervous as hell.”
