Ibuprophen? I know 2 aleve help me so much. I just had a deep cleaning Monday and came home dying. I swear by the aleve.

I finally got my mom hooked on the books. She started Twilight about a month ago and now she is about 3/4 of the way through Breaking Dawn. I think she hates me just a little bit for getting her hooked on this series but it is just so great I couldn't resist.

I'm taking Tylenol every 4 hours at the moment. I'm allergic to aspirin, so anything with ibuprophen is out of the question, lol.

Back on topic...here's a nice interview with Kristen about NM I just found:

New Moon's Kristen Stewart gets inside Bella's head


It is the role that catapulted her to stardom, and Kristen Stewart is about to reprise her part as Bella in the hotly anticipated sequel to Twilight — New Moon

What is it like to be back on set doing another Twilight film?

It’s a little bit surreal to be back doing a second one, just because it’s something that I thought about for an entire year and now it’s happening. But it’s sort of like I couldn’t wait any longer.

.

It’s hard. Usually you finish a movie and there’s a very long grieving process. You have to lose the character. You have to drop it from your mind or else it just continues to bug you. In this case, I couldn’t drop her completely and I worked in between, which is a strange sensation. It’s weird how easy it was to slip right back into it. I don’t know if it’s because I have such a reference, like the book, or because I knew that I just had to do it. I don’t know, but it feels good. It feels like I can finally release the pressure.

Isn’t that pressure kind of self-inflicted?

Yeah, I have that feeling on every movie that I do. It’s just that this one, I had to wait a year. Unless there’s something about the story or that character I’m playing that literally needs to be fulfilled -- like, consummated -- unless it’s actually lived through and physically manifested, it’s just a story and it’s not done. So until you actually bring it to life, you basically have the capability of murdering the character on the page. If you don’t do it justice, then nobody else is ever going to see those things and you’re never going to learn from those experiences because you didn’t do it right.


So yeah, the thought of having to live through something that I find so worthwhile, and then subsequently have people learn from that through your own experience, I would do anything. I would jump off a cliff for it. Oh! There’s cliff-jumping in our movie. Perfect! (Laughs)

What are the changes in this second installment? Your character Bella takes risks again…

Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she’s in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she’s so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It’s just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you’ve ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you’re dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean.


Oddly, we have a character that’s warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it’s truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it’s not comfortable, it’s not practical and it’s not a good idea. So it’s really a very strong thing to do. It takes someone who really trusts themselves.


So basically the movie starts out and everything’s great, and then it gets absolutely terrible, and then it gets maybe OK again, and then it’s" no, no, no, no – life is hard." It’s going to get hard again because he comes back again.

Is she introverted or just seeking an ideal?

It’s not that she’s incredibly introverted. She’s just yet to have found a connection that is truthful. She’s a seeker of the truth. She’s not one to get wrapped up in something that is a fantasy. She doesn’t set herself up for disappointment. So that’s what makes the story with her and Edward so compelling, in that this is a girl that normally wouldn’t do something this crazy.

So what does Kristen prefer, the werewolf or the vampire?

Kristen shouldn’t open her mouth (Laughs). Kristen is entirely torn. Kristen should stop using her name in the third person.

You were virtually unknown when you shot Twilight. How has your life changed since its phenomenal success?

My life hasn’t changed. Most circumstances I find myself in are different than they were a year ago, but I myself haven’t changed...however a normal 18-year-old girl would change in a year. But it makes things so much easier. I would do it for free every day [even] if nobody saw it. I cannot describe how good it feels to actually have something that is truly into your heart and soul actually affecting people. And that’s amazing. So that’s the biggest change.

Has success changed you?

It didn’t change me, it changed things around me a little bit...I’m so used to doing movies that nobody wants to see. To put your heart and soul into something for years of your life and have it actually affect people is probably the most satisfying, and that is a completely ineffective word to describe how satisfying it is.

Do you feel a responsibility towards the author's fans and the movie fans?

Yeah, absolutely. It’s a strange thing. You start something and you know that it’s going to take on a life of its own, but its already something so whole -- there are so many people that you’re going to inevitably either make happy or not. Everyone’s understanding of the story and love for it is going to show, even though there are little issues that everyone’s going to have because everybody reads the book differently. So of course we have a massive responsibility. Because of them, we’re able to do what we like to do.

What was it like coming back to a different director?

As an actor, you don’t work with the same director on every film. And this, it’s a continuation. It’s the same story but it is a different movie. I love Catherine (Hardwicke). She’s a dear friend of mine, but Chris (Weitz) – it just works out.


Besides all the technical, logistical reasons, Chris is so devoted and because he’s a man, there’s a common question. How is it having a man director? Is it a huge difference? You can’t make generalizations about people like that. He’s one of the most compassionate human beings I’ve ever met. Unfalteringly compassionate. He cares way too much for the story, and you need that. So he’s perfect.

How would you describe it to someone who hasn’t read the books or seen Twilight?

Anybody who’s ever been broken up with will probably watch this movie, and their temperature will probably go up.

How do I describe this? It’s a movie about ultimate devotion being ripped from you and thinking that your entire world that you’ve established is wrong. And then trying to get it back and realizing that it’s all OK. (Laughs) And vampires, werewolves, too, so that makes it even more exciting. Robert Pattinson is just so cute. So is Taylor Lautner. That’s what I would tell someone who doesn’t know about the movie yet.

You’re still quite young. Do you want to continue making movies or perhaps go to college?

I absolutely have no foresight. I used to think I had a lot when I was younger. I worked really hard in school to give myself options, and I’ve literally taken those options and thrown them down the toilet. Purposely – not to make that sound totally negative. It’s what I want. I want to keep doing what I’m doing.

It’s funny, people ask me all the time: “What do you do for fun? What do you do when you’re not acting?”

It’s a strange thing, acting. It’s a business, it’s a job, everything like that. All it is, is self-reflection. You just never stop caring about people and I’ve never stopped doing that, so I’m sure it’ll seep into other areas of my life. I want to write. I’m not going to school because I can’t take the structure of it, but I’m not going to stop learning.

[ArelysAdriana]

OT: Ugh, I have a bad tooth ache. Why did I have to get cavities filled 2 days before leaving for WDW. Anyone have any remedies?

Booze. My favorite, and tastiest, remedy

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I'd go for a mojito right about now, even though it's only 10:30am!

 

[PrincessDeb]

CP, good interview with Kristen-I really enjoyed her insight and her joking about who she was more into in the third person was funny.

I hope that you feel better soon!

 

[Mickeefan]

I'd go for a mojito right about now, even though it's only 10:30am!

Oh, I love mojitos. Have one at the Polynesian when you're there. They are delicious! Oh, sorry, you probably can't since you'll be in the States. Sorry. Well, when you're 21, you'll have to have one there.

Yeah, I have to wait until next year when I can have one there, hehe

Anyway, KStew finally showed her new hair off:

She totally looks like Joan Jett, but man I don't like it. And I miss her long pretty hair...

 

[girli565]

Wow, that is so unattractive on her! I know it's for the movie she's in next but wow, it's not cute at all! It looked ok in that last pic you posted, the black is harsh.

And Eclipse starts filming in August, right? I see a wig in her future.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I see a wig also, or at least extensions.

 

[MontanaZoo]

I finally got my mom hooked on the books. She started Twilight about a month ago and now she is about 3/4 of the way through Breaking Dawn. I think she hates me just a little bit for getting her hooked on this series but it is just so great I couldn't resist.

I did that too but now my mom is creeping me out telling me how much cuter she thinks Taylor is than Rob....mixed blessing!!

 

[DisneyBlonde]

I actually think it looks kind of nice. Not as nice as the picture you have below it, but she rarely wore her hair that 'styled', she's more of a wash 'n go girl.

 

[TerriP]

WOW ~ KS has nailed the "look", hasn't she? The best actors, to me, are the ones that I can "lose" in their role. If I can watch a character and still see the actor, they aren't doing their job.

I don't feel that KS has proven to be a good actress ~ I still see her mannerisms and personality instead of just seeing "Bella". But, if she can lose herself in Joan Jett and really sell that character to me, I'll have to change my tune! She's off to a good start!

me too! i was watching some joan jett videos and i am wondering if kristen can pull off the confidence and general bad-assness joan jett had/has, instead of the tongue-tied nervousness that she seems to have.

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Yeah, I have to wait until next year when I can have one there, hehe

Anyway, KStew finally showed her new hair off:

Wow, she really nailed that look. She looks tired though.

What is she going to do for Eclipse? Wig it up? Doesn't it come out in June 2010?

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Like I said above, I'm guessing either a wig or extensions.

 

[cherbear]

My best friend is a Twilightaholic! I am looking for some help.

 

[MontanaZoo]

Like I said above, I'm guessing either a wig or extensions.

I think she already used extensions at least in Twilight if not both movies so we probably won't be able to see any differences.

 

[MinnieMe87]

I thought so too. I could have sworn I read somewhere that she's wearing a wig for New Moon.. But I can't find the article.
