Kristen is 20 years old. Rooney Mara is at least 24 years old. The speculation about Kristen being the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo came from the fans, blogs and the tabloids. Kristen Stewart herself and her camp never said that they were even interested in the film. She was never in the mix as Scan said. It was outsiders who thought that she would be great for the role. She was polite at every interview when asked but from the beginning she stated that she was committed to the completion of the Twilight Saga.
Quite honestly, every cast that has worked with Kristen has only stated how great she was to work with, how dedicated, committed and how cooperative she has always been. I have seen so many interviews with Kristen and she has always been cooperative, answered the question completely no matter how they silly they seemed. When approached by fans, she has been very nice.
The only time that I have seen her be quiet, reserved and sometimes angry is with the paparazzi.
All of this jealousy, and negativity thrown at Kristen is getting very boring. The Fuller article gives me the impression that because there is nothing substantial that you can write about her because she just works and stays out of trouble there was a need to make something up. Because Kristen’s name will get hits to any website that has her name it or because people will purchase the tabloid because it mentions her, the decision was made to make up a stupid story.
There were quite a few other talented famous young actresses that were named while the selection process was going on, how come there’s no big article how Page, Mulligan, Portman were not selected?

And about Rooney Mara stealing the spotlight from Kristen Stewart, well, shouldn’t her announcement as Lisbeth Salander have done that? Problem is, nobody gave a rat’s azz when Rooney Mara was announced as Salander. Her announcement was dead-on-arrival. So what does Sony do? Well, yes, put Kristen Stewart in the headline even if the final selection didn’t even include Kristen Stewart. Look Sony, you couldn’t wait for Stewart. Stop using her name already to draw attention to this trilogy and let Rooney Mara take the burden, as she should. Kristen Stewart carried Twilght’s Bella Swan to three blockbusters so far. Don’t put the burden of creating buzz for Dragon Tattoo rest on Kristen Stewart. Like, hello! She’s NOT in your movie. Make Rooney Mara work her azz and do her job, as she should.

I think if she had called Hanson, they would reply their career is just fine. They have a good group of fans and do what they love, yeah maybe they arn’t making millions but they are still making a career out of playing music, plus all married with kids, and happy with their own record label. Also I don’t think Kristen’s career is being threaten by whats her name…I don’t think she would have time to do that movie with Two Breaking Dawn movies ahead of her…it’s just a lot of media outlets want to see Kristen fail because she doesn’t prance around and pose for the paparazzi…

well, of course she’ll get a lot of attention if they keep on associating kristen’s name with her. can’t sony do their own pr without pulling this kind of bs. total cr@p.

I just wanted to say Thank You Gossip Cop for existing! In a world so full of bullsh*t this site is a beacon of sanity and light.
And on the subject, as a Swedish woman,I was so exited when I first heard Hollywood was making the Stieg Larsson triolgy, and got even more so when names like Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan and Kristen Stewart got thrown around. I’m not a huge fan of Kristen, but she would have killed it as Lisbeth; she has that cool edge that is so necessary for it. When I heard they had cast this unknown, sweet looking girl my interest just fizzled, meh… I just don’t care so much anymore. I was already a little disappointed with the casting of Daniel Craig but this latest casting killed it dead for me.

That is complete B.S. Kristen has a boyfriend, whom she has been with for many years. They were in the movie Speak together. Maybe Robert likes Kristen, but they’re sooo not together. They’re just making crap up for people gullible enough to buy it.

Kristen is in one of the biggest franchises and has millions of fans and not to mention a hot boyfriend. I’m sure she’ll get roles she wants and will continue to do her own thing. Whatever.
