Sneaky Kristen Stewart Photo Coverage is Just Sad

Truth rating: 0

(thesun.co.uk)

One of the laziest gossip tricks is to “prove” a tired, wrong idea with selective photography. Why try to bend public opinion toward the truth when it’s far easier to play up misconceptions?

A prime example is the incessant portrayal of Kristen Stewart as “sad” or “sullen” or “gloomy” when she makes appearances to promote movies.

“Another day, another glum face from Kristen Stewart,” whines the Sun from the red carpet in Rome last week, where the actress premiered The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

From there, the newspaper writes an entire article about how “awkward” and “uncomfortable” Stewart appeared, using — surprise! — a photo of the actress in between smiles.

“Perhaps she should sack the stylist, wear her jeans and then we’ll see a grin creep through,” the Sun sneers.

Or “perhaps” Stewart was smiling in Rome, but the outlet just chose not to show it.

Gossip Cop decided to help the Sun with its reporting, since it seems the paper only grabbed one photo from the premiere.

Here’s Kristen Stewart smiling at the same event. She’s also looking happy here, here, and here.

Oh, and here.

In case the Sun considers those photos flukes, here’s an entire gallery of Stewart looking happy with Taylor Lautner at another photocall in Rome on the same day.

The only thing that’s “awkward” here is the paper’s attempt to pretend none of these smiles actually happened.

    … and the dress… *goes to hide*… I’m sorry but that dress IS awkward… I don’t like it at all… But that’s just me…

    Now, as for the /sarcasm/ lovely and accurate /ends sarcasm/ reporting… Mmmmm… It’s Sun… What else is there to be expected?… They got a subject and won’t drop it even if it slaps them right on the face… Kind of lame, actually…
    I don’t know, but in this round of promotion Kristen has been extremely smiley and jokes a lot… Much more relaxed and comfortable with herself than what I’ve seen before… :)… Good for her… Hopefully one day tabs will stop picking on the “sad and grumpy” thing…

    Thnx GC… :)

    I saw quite a few photos of Kristen at this event that is pictured here where she was smiling and happy. She did not look sullen or awkward. As a matter during this press junket and promotion, except for the one incident in Australia, she has been smiling an friendly to fans. During interviews she has been calm yet focused and at times has even joked around and poked fun at herself. In Germany there wasn’t a fan event but outside her hotel there was a group of fans that wanted her autograph and she complied with photos was very nice to them. The only time that I saw Kristen look solemn was when she visited the Jewish memorial in Berlin and that was because she was trying to show respect. In Italy some fans tried to get autographs, etc but she was not able to stop, they were insulting her and called her vulgar names. However, it was obvious that the decision for her not to stop for them was the security team’s not hers. I wish that the tabloid would stop all of the B.S. it’s getting boring,especially since it’s not true!

    Hahaha. Thank you Gossip Cop. You’re really great! I love this post.
    About Kristen – In Rome she had a lot of fun and enjoy the city. If you watch clips and photos from it, you can see that she’s smile all time. Only some damb fools can write that she looks awkward. This is stupid.
    About the”Sun” – this is the most Malloum paper which writes a nonsense only to make money. I hate them.
    They never write something true and good. Only bullshits and craps and shits and rubbish and nonsenses!! They are so silly. So, thank you so much G.C. You are my hero. :) Keep busting craps like this. I love that. :P <3 ^.^ :=)

    Bravo! So happy that someone out there has enough respect to report the TRUTH! I hope Kristen sees this article…

  • dorap

    This applies to PEREZ HILTON as well !!
    It’s completely wrong how they are selective in there photo choice not only to bolster hits on there websites but also actively seeking to continually bagger someone’s character.

    Kristen doesn’t smile all that much, at least not like some stars that appear as though they’re on some very silly drugs. That’s just how she is. Why is this a problem? – She does smile now and then and that’s good enough for me, and should be good enough for The Sun and everybody else.
