And also a stern talking to by her manager, agent, handlers, whoever would advise her NOT to look as if she's 1) Less than happy to be at her premier, 2) Stoned. <br /><br />Her dopey fans spend a ton of money on the movies, books, and all Twilight tie-in crap (key chains, jewelry, purses, etc. etc.) and she herself makes a small fortune from the movies. <br /><br />Bottom line, she needs to suck it up and deal with it.Mangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04247392048527757544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-83782106566215762632010-07-01T18:06:38.759-07:002010-07-01T18:06:38.759-07:00OK, I just wrote a novella about all this, but Blo...OK, I just wrote a novella about all this, but Blogger wouldn't let me post it (yes, you can all heave a big sigh of relief now). Between being old enough to be Kristen's mother, and having been a Nine Inch Nails fan for a good number of years, I like to think I have some perspective on growing up in general, having to grow up in public in the Internet Age, and having to deal with truly psychotic whackjobs (having seen the latter in action over the years, and they weren't even the worst). I don't care if she spends the next 10 years rolling her eyes all over the place; eye-rolling does not warrant having to fear for your well-being or even life, and if you truly think it does, well...it doesn't speak well of you, at the very least. (Looking back on all the stupid shit my friends & I did growing up, I can't <i>imagine</i> having every dumbass thing I'd end up cringing over years later plastered across the globe 24/7/365. "Growing up in public" in the Internet Age = Teh Suck...and that's rather understating the issue.) No one should have to feel they need to leave a job they love and that fulfills them somehow just to be safe, and that goes for everyone from famous actors to, yes, the counter girl at Mickey D's.--and yes, plenty of socially awkward folks get into performing as a way of coping with their anxieties by adopting another persona temporarily. *cough*TrentReznor*cough* (Hey, Trent, be a mensch and give the Twilight kids a call, will you? If anyone knows crazy & obsessed fans that put you in mortal fear for your life, you sure do, and God knows they could use some of your perspective in other areas as well...)Robin the Mad Photographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766675938768012882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-18121628260445583292010-07-01T17:13:25.381-07:002010-07-01T17:13:25.381-07:00I don't think Kristen's fear is unreasonab...I don't think Kristen's fear is unreasonable, hard to relate to but not unreasonable.

And women deal with this stuff as part of the background of their everyday lives, period. Piss off one drunken asshole who wants to get in your pants and you don't know what might happen - and often, if you go to the police, they won't do anything UNTIL the guy hurts you or you're able to record evidence of him trying to hurt you.<br /><br />Makes us all feel real safe, doesn't it?

Those girls (and not even girls but grown up women as well) looks insane, crying and screaming when they take a pic of them. <br /><br />I seriously don't blame her some people just don't feel comfortable in big crowds (yes, me) and if she has a phobia or anything I think that she should address that. Maybe when Twilight it's over she'll get back to normal because I don't remember seeing her being that awkward before all this madness.jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268434985723792491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-63704841929770378872010-07-01T13:11:38.705-07:002010-07-01T13:11:38.705-07:00You know she has a point.

Look at Jodie Foster and what an unhinged fan is capable of doing. @jessica someone working at mcdonalds or at any counter deals with someone one on one. Imagine a throng of 1000 people waiting to pounce on you. Being actor doesnt mean you automatically have the skillset to do interviews or even be able to handle doing a red carpet. Rob Deniro hated doing interviews or only now just started doing them and the red carpet.
