Kristen Stewart: I don't want to be Angelina Jolie

Although she's the female lead in the Twilight franchise (last year, the first film grossed nearly $400 million worldwide), Kristen Stewart doesn't emulate other blockbuster actresses -- not even Brad Pitt's girl.
"I don't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie," Stewart tells BlackBook magazine.
But seeing her name in lights is sort of fun, right?

"Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable," the 19 year-old insists. "I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everybody's so obsessive."
One topic of obsession: her relationship with onscreen lover Robert Pattinson, 23. Pattinson recently told Vanity Fair that, despite intense speculation otherwise, they are simply "good friends," and that he considers her "the best young actress around."

But Stewart made a thoughtful observation about Edward Cullen, Pattinson's Twilight character.
"Edward is actually a really good parallel to fame," she muses. "As a vampire, he has a sad, desolate life -- fame is the same."

The Twilight Saga: New Moon premieres Nov. 20. Production on the third installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, wrapped last week.

She won't be the first and last to make this statement....
We will see in a few years if she stays true to herself...

[DeadDwarf]

Wah, wah! Go cry while holding your million dollar paycheck!

[Beeyotch]

I know! I mean, I get what she's saying but doesn't it occur to her how ungrateful and whiny that sounds? Nobody's forcing her to keep starring in these craptastical teenybopper vampire movies.

[VenusInFauxFurs]

I doubt she'll be the next Angelina. There are not a lot of roles that call for a bewildered looking mouthbreather to look constipated.

[ikmccall]

No worries about that, Kristen.

[heart_leigh]

Another overrated starlet who doesn't know when to stfu.

To be fair, she's contractually bound to act in all the Twilight films. Also, she claims she had no idea what she was getting into when she signed onto Twilight. None of them did.

I don't understand the obsession with her and Rob. Haven't they always denied being together? What is the big fucking deal? Who cares?

[potato_chips]

Note to Kristen Stewart.... rot in hell you pretentious overrated slack jawed gangly gruesome bitch. I wanted to say that for a loooooooong time.

[Sarzy]

Cry me a river. All this I just want to act not be famous, blah blah blah. They all know it's part of the package.
