Kristen Stewart: 'I Made an Enormous Mistake'

As soon as Kristen Stewart's interview with ELLE UK was revealed, things started to get a bit intense.

Her choice of words, in referring to the onslaught of paparazzi attention she receives thanks to her international Twilight fame, of "[t]he photos are so… I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped" were regarded by some rape crisis groups as "regrettable."

Fox News issued the story a few days ago, quoting a representative from Rape and Incest National Network (among others) to issue dismay over the comment: "Portraying a rape survivor in the film ‘Speak’ should have led her to use a more appropriate metaphor to describe the intrusive nature of the paparazzi. Rape is more than an intrusion, it's a violent crime, that causes serious long term mental health effects for victims."

Last night, the buzz began back up again on this issue when it was reported that Stewart would be issuing a public apology for her statement.

A brief, unofficial survey of Twitter responses brought forth a split in Twilight fan reactions, with some fans lauding her boldness and defending the word choice (as well as trending #IsupportKristenStewart)and others saying that they understood the meaning of her statement as well as concerns about the particular term at hand.

Today, Kristen Stewart has issued an apology via People Magazine

"I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously," she told the publication. "And I'm really sorry about my choice of words."

"I've made stupid remarks before, and I've always reasoned: 'Whatever. They can think what they want," she continued. With this particular set of words, though, she indicated that the metaphor could've been more aptly phrased. "'Violated' definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought."

Though she seems to stand firm on the sentiment of her interview, she did seem to get the sensitive nature of her word choice and concluded, "People thinking that I'm insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake."

New Eclipse featurette: Introducing Bree Tanner!

Only a few days remain until Stephenie Meyer's novella about the character is released, but you can learn a little more about what to expect from "Bree Tanner" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse thanks to this exclusive new featurette video called "Introducing Bree Tanner."

In the video, Jodelle Ferland and Stephenie Meyer discuss the film character in depth, revealing some of the nuances of Bree's perspective and Ferland's take on it.

Says Ferland, "Even though she’s on the bad side, she doesn’t really want to be bad, and she’s sort of forced to be." Bad side being, of course, a member of the newborn army.

Of course, even though Bree remains with the newborn army so as to avoid harm to herself, you're well aware of her peculiar fate in the story.

"It’s sad because, even though she’s on the bad side, she’s a victim," Ferland continues. "Bree’s not really given a chance. She wants to be good but nobody gives her a chance. She doesn’t know the rules, and so how can you follow rules that you don’t know? So it’s not her fault, but she gets punished anyway."

Stephenie Meyer also lauds Ferland's work in the movie, saying "she really understands the backstory for Bree that’s not actually in Eclipse. She gets this vulnerability, this person who’s waking up in a new life and who’s confused and suspicious but doesn’t know what to do except follow what she’s been told."

The featurette also presents a few new glimpses at the film, including a bit of dialogue when Bree asks Riley (Xavier Samuel) "What did you do to me?" You can also seem moments of her confusion and thirst in the video

MTV Australia Interviews Kristen & Taylor

Here in Oz to promote their new movie ‘Eclipse’, MTV caught up with the famous twosome to talk rivalries, kissing and six packs!

MTV: Tell us what fans can expect from the third 'Twilight' movie ‘Eclipse?’

Taylor: If you’re a fan of the book, then you’re going to love the movie. We had a lot of fun making it and for me I’d have to say Eclipse was my favourite book and I’d say the movie turned out really well.

Kristen: It definitely steps it up in terms of action. There’s more of it going on, less within the dynamics of the characters and more about the introduction of newborns and the Volturi comeback. There’s more danger, there’s much more at risk.

MTV: Twilight is so huge, what’s it like being involved with such a phenomenon?

K: For me it’s been so different from anything I thought I’d ever be a part of. I’ve always said that I never wanted to do a TV series because it's too long, it’s too much of a commitment, it’s too structured. But it’s actually the coolest thing to be able to follow a character for so long. Because at the end of most movies I feel like I’m ripped away from a project but in this case it’s so indulgent, it’s like I get months to work on just one character and then I get to do it again next year, its really cool.

MTV: How close are you really as a cast?

T: We've spent a lot of time together so we've all grown very close and we're all really good friends. I mean it would be a nightmare doing this series if we didn’t like each other, it would be bad, so thankfully we all get along and have a lot of fun.

MTV: What do you think you’d be doing if you weren’t in ‘Twilight’?

K: I have no idea.

T: I don't know, and I don’t really want to think about it! I’m just thankful it happened in the first place.

MTV: We hear you’ve seen some tourist attractions including Featherdale Wildlife Park since you’ve been in Oz. How was that?

T: It was really good.

K: Yeah it was incredible! You can't believe like a wallaby hops in and you can pick them up and put them in your pouch, it just doesn’t seem real.

T: Number one hit for me was definitely the baby dingos, they were adorable.

MTV: If you came across the 'Harry Potter' cast would there be any rivalry between you?

T: (Laughs) I don’t think so, I’m a fan of those movies.

K: I am too. The books came out when I was pretty young so I’ve read them.

T: I haven’t met them though.

K: Neither have I. But Rob is one of them, kind of, and he really likes them, he speaks highly of them.
