Kristen Stewart Continues Haitian Aide

Kristen Stewart ("Bella Swan" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) may be getting her hands even more involved in charitable efforts for the relief of victims of the Haiti earthquake disaster.

Accoring to E! Online's Marc Malkin, she's making plans to host a benefit dinner in Hollywood to raise money for the cause.

Stewart has already done at least two things to be proactive in relief efforts. First, she was able to raise funds through the Sundance Film Festival (where her films The Runaways and Welcome To The Rileys were premiered). Additionally, she teamed with her Runaways co-star Dakota Fanning and other celebrities to sign a snowboard for a Haiti relief charity auction.

As details on the potential project come about, you'll probably hear more about the effort.

Here's a video where Malkin explains the known details on the issue, saying that the benefit will be held later this month.

Kristen Stewart predicted to win 'Rising Star' award

As you already know, Kristen Stewart received a nomination for the Orange British Academy Film "Rising Star" Award, and, for the winner to be determined, fans of the nominees submit their votes for their respective choices.

Of course, Kristen Stewart's fans - at least those who are in a suitable geographic location to vote - have been voting away, hoping to help the actress win the award.

As a result, a recent Variety article predicts that Kristen Stewart is bound to win the award. The publication bases its prediction on her involvement with the Twilight saga.

Variety suggests that a trend has developed over the past few years where the winner is always a leading cast member in a popular film from that year.

In the past, James McAvoy won after "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," Eva Green after "Casino Royale" and Shia LaBeouf after "Transformers." Last year, Noel Clarke's fanbase from "Adulthood" and TV's "Doctor Who" trumped the higher Hollywood profile of Michael Cera.

While Stewart's recent film catalogue is not exclusively Twilight (what with The Runaways, Welcome To The Rileys, The Yellow Handkerchief, and even Adventureland), Variety points to the saga as the source of the majority of her voters.

Two films by 'Twilight' stars to appear at SxSW

Two films done by The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars are headed to SxSW (South by Southwest), a film festival that takes place this March.

According to Larry Richman with Pro Networks, both The Runaways (with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning) and The Loved Ones (with Xavier Samuel) were selected for the conference.

The Runaways is one of the festival's "headliner" films, and Richman's review of the film is available here. The Runaways was featured just recently at the Sundance Film Festival as well. The film chronicles the rise and fall of the groundbreaking all-girl band of the same name (led by Joan Jett and Cherie Currie).

The Loved Ones is listed as a "Midnighter," and Richman's review of that film is available here. The Loved Ones was also featured at the Toronto International Film Festival last September.

The film's description on IMDb is as follows:

"In order to avoid a ghostly figure in the road, high school senior Brent Mitchell wraps his car around a tree, killing his father. Constantly confronted by his mother's emotional collapse after the accident, Brent escapes into a marijuana fueled world of loud metal music to block the pain and guilt. Dejected and out of sorts, he has a shot at happiness with his girlfriend Holly, a grounded, caring girl with drop dead good looks, a dream date for the high school prom. But his plans are thwarted by a disturbing series of events that take place under a mirrored disco ball, involving pink satin, glitter, syringes, nails, power drills and a secret admirer. Brent has become the prom king at a macabre, sadistic event where he is the entertainment."

SxSW takes place from March 12th to March 20th in Austin, Texas. Just recently it was announced that Twilight soundtrack contributor Bobby Long would also be appearing as a musical guest for the conference's music show.

Vanity Fair’s 2010 Hollywood Portfolio with Kristen Stewart

Looking absolutely perfect alongside faces such as Amanda Seyfried, Anna Kendrick, Emma Stone, Carey Mulligan, Evan Rachel Wood, and others, Kristen is part of Vanity Fair’s 2010 portfolio. A gorgeous outtake is up in the gallery, alongside two behind the scenes photos.

"In an era in which every teen star has a stylist and a bland pop record, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly. Stewart played Bella Swan not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated—making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem … well, almost plausible. The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash. Between Twilight installments, her edgy trajectory will continue with Welcome to the Rileys, about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, about rocker Joan Jett."

Twilight ladies make Glamour's 'Most Stylish Women of 2010'

Three of the Twilight saga's lovely ladies - Anna Kendrick, Ashley Greene, and Kristen Stewart - are among Glamour Magazine's "35 Most Stylish Women of 2010" list.

About Kendrick, Glamour says, "This year’s plethora of nominations has transformed Anna Kendrick from teen star to Hollywood big-hitter - and her wardrobe has only emphasised this. Elegant without being showy, Anna has given the red-carpet veterans something to talk about. The Next: Sandra Bullock."

About Ashley Greene, they say, "We have the distinct feeling that this Twilight star is still finding her fashion feet – her style picks include a neon-pink shift dress and a red pin-striped suit – but her experimental choices are certainly heading in the right direction.
The Next: Rachel Bilson."

About Kristen Stewart, they say, "Kristen’s punky style shocked conservative Hollywood (but in a good way). She famously teamed a Yigal Azrouel mini dress with a pair of Converse trainers on the 2009 MTV Awards red carpet – and actually got away with it! The Next: Juliette Lewis."

You can vote for these women to be the top pick of the year, also. The list includes Avatar star Zoe Saldana, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I star Bonnie Wright, True Blood star Anna Paquin, Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger, and others.

Kristen Stewart fans making waves with potential 'Welcome to the Rileys' distributors

Last night, Deadline Hollywood came out with a story about the fact that Kristen Stewart's fans were e-mailing potential distributors for her film Welcome To The Rileys, encouraging the company to pick up the project.

Of course, it all started when the film's social networking got fans going.

@Welcome2Rileys was using Twitter (and Facebook) as a thermometer of interest, issuing messages such as the following:

"We are making a deal for distribution that will really rely on you guys coming to support this!!! we want to help control the release

we are using the social networking sites as evidence of a very strong desire to see this movie ALL over the world.

I told distributors that I could get 4000 people to buy advance tickets to the movie when it comes to their theaters.

I am compiling a list of people and the number of tix they would pre-buy to show them how much we all want this movie"

With the internet and film savvy of Kristen Stewart's fan community, though, things quickly progressed in the hands-on effort department, and that same Twitter page had to ask for things to slow up a bit.

"PLEASE!! you are all amazing, but please stop emailing the distributors. we got the message loud and clear. please please stop

they can't answer our emails because they r trying to get through all of your emails. I love you all. please stop the attack

you guys are animals!!!!!! those poor people!!! I know what they are going through when you all started emailing me... powerful"

Soon after, Deadline's article came out, saying:

I've learned that a slew of Kristen Stewart fans somehow got the personal e-mails of Sundance buyers who were circling her Jake Scott-directed film Welcome To The Rileys. In their avalanche of messages, twitters and texts, the Twihards are imploring the execs to buy and release the film starring the Twilight Saga heroine -- or at least get them DVDs of the pic. Among the surprised execs is Sony Pictures Classics' Michael Barker. The film is geared to an adult audience, but the filmmakers keep seeing mobs of young faces at every screening. Three buyers are said to be circling, but no word yet if they are being swayed, or just annoyed, by the email campaign. UTA is shopping the movie, which also stars James Gandolfini. No reports so far of Sopranos fans muscling buyers on his behalf.

Of course, the comments on the post were very clamorous, assuring the writer that the fans accused of e-attacking the distributors were not always "Twi-hards" nor "mobs of young faces." For example, a commentator named Erin said "Why does everyone assume that Kristen Stewart fans are twi-hards and teenagers??" As such, an update was added, saying "(UPDATE: The fans say they are adults, not teens.)."

The team was quickly coined "Rileys Rebels," among other things, and the Rileys twitter page stated that "Rileys Rebels, you amazing army!! your name made me think of "Rebel Yell" an old Billy Idol song. The lyrics totally reminded me of Mallory!"

If nothing else, the incident certainly proved that there was a wide audience available and interested in the film. The "shopping" distribution company has certainly learned that fact! Hopefully, then, they'll choose to distribute the project.
