Mag Unfairly Attacks “Shy” Kristen Stewart for Not Smiling Enough

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

Heat Magazine has three problems when it comes to Twilight stars.

1. Originality

2. Accuracy

3. Photography

You’ll recall that the tabloid once printed an “exclusive” snapshot of Robert Pattinson asleep on the Tube in London.

Pattinson was in Canada at the time.

Now comes a Heat hit piece on Kristen Stewart.

“Shy Kristen’s Fame ‘Nightmare’” screams the headline.

It seems “the stress of constantly being in the spotlight is turning her into a sullen and distant figure,” according to the tabloid. While in the UK to accept various honors in February, Stewart “looked miserable and embarrassed” one night, “detached” the next, reports Heat.

“It’s a shame that someone as talented and popular as Kristen finds her success such a nightmare to deal with,” murmurs the mag. “A smile really wouldn’t hurt, would it?”

The evidence? A headshot of Stewart looking… um, nonchalant? Regardless, Heat fails to mention when and where it was snapped.

(We’re guessing the Tube – ha!)

Attacks on Stewart for having the audacity to be “shy” are nothing new. In the past it’s been equated with being a “snobby” and “miserable” outcast. Or, when she supports a charity, sites take cheap jabs and say she “left all her angst at home.”

Anyway, thought Heat might want to take a look at the photo above. It’s Stewart living the “nightmare.”

    Thanks for busting such a dispicable story GC! Why can’t these mags leave Kristen alone–she is a good kid, has a good head on her shoulders and doesn’t bother anyone!!! Of course mags like this “Dreat” I would NEVER give the time fo day too anyway!! What garbage!!

  • crmomof2

    Thank you for this! I see so many photographs of Kristen being gracious and smiling. I watched the BAFTA Awards, Comic Con, the Premieres, the press junkets, etc. She is laughing, joking, smiling and being very polite, kind, takes every question seriously and is honest as possible when answering. Yet the press, and not only the rag mentioned in this story manage to photograph her when she is distracted, or just stopped for a second. She showed up at the “Remember Me” premiere there were many opportunities to take a photo of her smiling but instead they honed on the one where she is not. She is a good kid. She comes from an intact family unit, which in Hollywood is almost impossible. She has never said anything or done anything to anyone but the tabloids are determined to just invent negative things about this girl. Kristen is smart, genuine, talented and beautiful. That is why I don’t read the garbage!

  • n7of9

    congratulations…you found one photo of her smiling amongst the multitudes of her with obvious contempt on her face…shy? she’s an ACTRESS, can’t she ACT like she’s excited to be somewhere

    It´s a shame that a mag speak about a person like that.
    Kristen is a shy woman, and what is the problem??
    I think the problem, really, is not that Kristen is shy is that Kristen doesn´t sell her prvate life and for this the medias don´t leave her alone.
    She´s an autentic person, amazing, talented, precious and very professional.

  • michelle

    Well said, Audrey. But it bothers people like n7of9 that can’t stand that she doens’t act the way THEY think she should act. I like her for the same reason I like Rob, they couldn’t care less what we think and they show it. I think it’s refreshing!

  • msinmi

    She smiles when she has something to smile about or is happy. That is a natural human reaction. Same as frowning or being sullen. Obviously someone or something has pissed her off, more than likely rude obnoxious people (papz, fans that scream stupid crap with cameras). I don’t know her personally, so I never asked her, but she is 18-19, they have issues on a daily basis, I think she has come a long way in dealing with her constant harrassment with the media.

  • ms_ariz

    Wow. One photo of her smiling. Congratulations.

  • dancing

    She was never the smiley type, even prior to hitting the jackpot with Twilight. She was always not very charismatic nor had much patience and had a short fuse with the fans. So you add that with fame at a high level and that’s what you get a very resentful negative person.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Malorie-Weller/1192252207 Malorie Weller

    Why must the constant hammering of Kristen on her outfits, hair due and her smileing… I have to say I am a shy person too till I ge to know someone and a very private person I am too, so I understand why Kristen does not share much of her private life or even to go all out to stand out. Kristen has always been honest about her private life and also being who she is to the media. For the ones that do have an 18-19yr as I do , I know how each and every day how constantly things change and what is expected of these teens (in my own opinion), so I see Kristen as a young woman handling a day to day basis of everyone wanting attention from her (papz, fans etc…) Kristen has shown herself as a blanced young woman handling all the fame they way she can. I give her credit “Life is not easy” so Kristen keep doing what you are doing , don’t matter what everyone says about you (well at least the mean ones”) hang in there !! =)

    There were girls, actresses like Kristen … all the gossip magazines prefer the barbie ready brainless .. and not those who are really talented and smile more than anything to his fans instead of in favor of photographers and paparazzi,
    Kristen is a rare and valuable diamond … Leave her alone … Kristen is just a reserved young woman … not a media whore like all the others … ok .. STOP

  • Chloe

    Sorry GC!!! This is actually pretty accurate. Kristen very rarely smiles. I don’t think it has anything to do with her being shy either. It is just how she is…Kristen always looks, pissed, or annoyed in some way.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jill-Le/625521339 Jill Le

    I have seen so many pictures of Kristen and 90% she smiles.
    @Chloe and Dancing: I wonder if you smile all the time. Did you smile if someone piss you off?. can you smiles if you go outside and people stick cameras at you face all the time? If you can do that than you have the right to judge other people.

  • susiedolly

    I’m sorry Gossip Cop but Heat have every right to comment about her the way they did. I’m afraid Ms Stewart made herself look an ungrateful idiot in more ways than one and she didn’t make any friends with the BAFTA people either because of it, and neither did her b/f. She and Robby got up from the dinner just as everyone was being served which is phenomenally rude; more importantly she referred to Prince William as effing royalty. When asked why she didn’t look out at the audience when ‘accepting’ – if you can call it that – her award, she said because there was effing royalty there. How would you like it if one of our actors came to accept an award in the US and referred to the American flag as the effing Stars and Stripes? Our monarchy is as much a symbol of the UK as the Stars and Stripes is a symbol of the US. Both she and Robby made themselves look like a pair of arrogant children. He managed to arrive at the awards after Prince Wiliam. It’s an unwritten law that Royalty are the last to arrive at public events. If she’s shy she’s obviously chosen the wrong profession. Why doesn’t she go and do something else? This arrogant, rude little cow really does need to grow up. I expect Anna Wintour sensed a kindred spirit when she spoke to her about the Vogue cover. Both women are very nasty pieces of work. She should stay in the US where she belongs. Anna Kendrick would always be welcome; she’s a lady. Perhaps she should teach Stewart some manners?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Veronica-Spuffy/1604101457 Veronica Spuffy

    Kristen is an actress … not a public relations … if one is good not to do the pimp at parties … and be always in the forefront … for Kristen, the cinema is her work, stop,
    finished that, go back to being the normal girl she is, and not Hollywood-style living as do all other media whore, whose only interest appears to be more …. Kristen is … the others are apparently …

    Enjoy the false smiles and panders carinerie other, smiles honest Kristen gives only to those she loves and her fans, with whom s always entertaining and would willingly

    You go to watch all the videos you tube and read all the comments in various sites and and learn where is the substance and those who live appearances PUNTO

  • Ana79

    To susiedolly:

    Thank God people like you exist…otherwise we couldn’t possibly know when someone is being “rude”.
    So, Kristen is a “arrogant, rude little cow”….And you are what, in that point of view? You stood there insulting a person whom you never met just because she SUPPOSEDLY said “effing royalty”!! that´s rude?? and calling someone “cow” is what??Right, it doesn’t matter because it´s Kristen…
    And it’s “rude” because she and Rob left before dinner…… NEWS FLASH: só did Prince William…is he rude too? Or just because he’s “effing royalty”, it doesn´t matter??
    GROW UP, susiedolly, and stop insulting people you’ve never met ……..and – PLEASE – stop confusing sincerity and bland honesty with futility……

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jill-Le/625521339 Jill Le

    To susiedolly:
    Sounds like you are jealous of Kristen. It doesn’t matter what Kristen does. She will always be in the wrong to you because you hate her. I think Kristen is still young and has a lot to learn. Hating her don’t make you a better person. The way you say about Kristen doesn’t make you better than her either.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kitty-Katt-Smith/1294794169 Kitty Katt Smith

    You know what I don’t get? The fact that everyone will make any excuses to excuse Kristen Stewarts behavior, whether it is the constant sour face (I believe some people have given her the nickname bitchface) or dissing on her fans one second and when she sees that not working for her she backtracks and changes her tune. You use some BS excuses that she is 19 or shy or under so much pressure etc. She has completed over 20 movies and if she can’t hack it by now to at least “fake it” in public, then like others here have stated, she’s in the wrong business. As far as being 19, look at other young stars who are not barbies like Ruby Jerins who stars with Rob in Remember Me. She is very young, gracious and SMILES. It’s not a science guys, I mean even Chloe, who for the record is a supporter of not only Kristen (I think) but also the relationship that is Robsten, realizes that this girl DOES NOT smile. I didn’t see one actual smile while she was in London. The pics of the Burberry fashion show had her with a sour look on her face, the pics of her at the Elle awards didn’t even show THAT much of a smile, especially for someone who just picked up an award, whether it was given to her last minute because the actual recipient was not there or not, she could have been happy about it. Face it whether you want to believe it or not 98% of the pics out there, that are not for publicity purposes, she is not smiling in and looks complexly miserable in and plenty of them are taken when there is NOT a camera shoved in her face. Honestly this jealous argument isn’t flying either. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your thinking or like someone you like doesn’t make them jealous, old, ugly and bitter.

  • Maguilita

    ” reports Heat. (…) murmurs the mag. “A smile really wouldn’t hurt, would it?” “…
    An actual interesting “article” wouldn’t hurt, would it?… Heat, would it?… ¬¬

    I think, we all would have a much more smiling Kristen if people who publish things like what Heat has done, put some time into actual reporting… like talking about her 3 current (amazing, BTW) movies, about the awards she’s getting, about what is coming next for her, about all that stuff… and not everything else tabloids and some magazines seem to be interested in…
    Personally, I like her smiling pictures because she has some kind of glow when she does it… and I like her not-smiling pictures because her gaze is so intense then… Really, who knows the reason behind her smiling or non-smiling moments…

    I think the important thing here is not stirring it up… some people like it, some others don’t… oh well… world is pretty diverse… Magz want to pick up on fans, and certainly that will make no-good to Kristen’s career…

    Thanks GC! ;)

  • Chloe

    @Jill Le ….Yes! for the most part I do smile a lot. I think a smile will brighten up a cloudy day. ANY MORE questions?

    Sorry, you did not like my comments about Kristen, but the truth is the truth no matter how many excuses you try to make up for her…it is what it is….

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jill-Le/625521339 Jill Le

    I agree with you, Chloe 100% on a smile will brighten up a cloudy day. My point is we can’t expect her to do or please everyone. Do we expect her to smiling on every pictures? Like Maguilita said, some like her smiling pictures and some don’t. Do we think we own her just because we pay $12 to see her movie and expect her to give us more than the price we pay? Acting is like an other job. When actors finish their movies, they should not have to pretend in their real life just to please us. And no I didn’t make excuses for Kristen for her behavior because I don’t know her personally. I think people sometime comments on her behavior unfairly just because she doesn’t wears clothes like other stars wear or act the way they wanted her to act in public. I like her because she has her own style and she is difference than other movie stars and have a strong mind of her own.

  • Jon

    I have watched videos of Kristen at red carpet events and she smiles frequently. What frustrates me is the tabloids, celebrity magazines only print the pictures of her not smiling. Whats up with that? The BAFTA awards is a good example. The video showed her smiling but what is published? The shots where she is not smiling. This is a talented actress who wants to be an actress not a star. She is obviously a shy young girl who is uncomfortable in the limelight. This anti-twilight obsession by people is getting ridiculous. It is amazing that her participation in a successful, though critically panned, movie has colored people’s perspective. She is a great actor, period. Leave her alone.

  • susiedolly

    To Ana79 and Jill Le – The f—ing royalty comment was said in front of journalists from the BBC and Sky News. Are you suggesting they are lying? Just because someone dares to point out the sun doesn’t rise and set out of her bottom, they’re jealous, a hater, ugly or bitter? Jealous of what exactly? Her droning voice and blank expression? Her three ‘new’ films – none of which will get anything that even vaguely resembles wide distribution – have her as a druggy, rock star; a druggy whore who lap-dances and the third film is so good it’s taken three years to get a distributor. Anna Kendrick wipes the floor with her as far as her acting ability and her charm and grace are character traits which poor KS will never have. If she acts as if she’s far too important to publicise or behave as if she enjoys her profession, other actresses will get the roles she wants. By the way, I am assuming from your command of English that you are both under-12. And Ana79, I think if you look in the dictionary you’ll find that ‘stop confusing sincerity and bland honesty with futility’ is actually gibberish. Good luck in your SATs.

  • Cleo

    The above comment is a lie, she never said anything of the sort (effing royalty) – post a link, if you dare, LIARS. It’s sick the way these jealous old cows beat up and fabricate things about this teen actress. Get a life.

  • Kambria

    Sorry I’m late.

    I’m not saying the story is credible, but if it was fabricated, it wasn’t by these “jealous old cows” in the comments.

    Spoof Warning:

    According to insider sources: Robert and Kristen were seen scowling at crowds in Budapest as they threw their feces at the flashbulb onslaught. “It was supposed to be a nice Easter/20th Birthday/Househunting/Engagement party reunion, but things seem to have taken a turn,” said a source eating popcorn behind the cage bars.

    Fame is clearly taking it’s toll on the young lovers usually captivating personalities. We hope this won’t interrupt the feeding schedule and future ticket sales for the pair. Summit had plans to mate one of the pair in China on loan as a global goodwill gesture easing tension between the respective countries. We’re waiting to confirm the source of that report.

    One tabloid reporter on the scene commented, “This is such an honor – I wasn’t sure they saw me, but at least now I have something new and exclusive for my twitter account. Uhm, could you pass those napkins please?”

    Okay… I’m dying of laughter right now. Where do they get this stuff? I mean couldn’t they at least make it funny, or does that take skill?

  • Taylor21820

    All of you b******* hating on Kristen, GROW THE F*** UP ALREADY. Have you ever thought that maybe Kristen has a REASON not to smile? Have you ever thought that maybe she IS shy and just doesn’t LIKE her picture taken? Have you wver thought that maybe Kristen is just an actress because she might need the money? You haters are being immature BRATS. I mean seriously. Some people just don’t smile a lot. Kristen is a very mature young lady, unlike, Miley Cyrus for instance, who actually POLE DANCED in one of her concerts. INFRONT OF LITTLE CHILDREN. And yet you still support HER? What is going on in today’s world?
