basically, its been a few weeks now since this all came out. i have had time to truly digest what has happened, and watched the world react with much interest.
i would like to explain my complex opinion on this whole story. its not as straight-forward as you might think. it should be straight-forward, because quite frankly i can't stand kristen stewart. i think her acting is just atrocious and so boring. i think she can't even do a moody facial expression well(she should take some tips from victoria beckham. there's a way to make it hot) and i hate her whole 'its all about the craft' wanky attitude. i have felt this way for a long time and it has nothing to do with this whole 'scandal'.above: k-stew's annoying awkward hair thing she does is very annoying. below: rob=loveable
i also love rob pattinson. he has a light-hearted manner in interviews that i find endearing. while he seems to have a similar attitude towards fame to stewart, rather than being moody about it, he just seems to find it all quite funny. he has said himself in interviews that he just finds the whole fandemonium thing surrounding him quite bizarre. he laughs about it. he has a more down-to-earth way of voicing the way fame has changed him and how it makes him feel. not like miss-moody awkwardly looking at the ground, fumbling her words, fiddling with her hair and generally being angsty. oh, and r-patz is dreamy. that's helps with the whole like-ability thing. indeed.
so when a r-patz obsessed friend told me of the 'scandal' i didn't believe it. 'its too good to be true!' i thought. i immediately consulted a reliable news source- perez hilton. he confirmed to us that the story was indeed true. k-stew had even owned up to it. we rejoiced! we squealed! we giggled! we clapped! what an amazing story! together, my friend and i scoured the net for pics, videos and articles relating to this delicious scandal. over the next few weeks i excitedly bought magazines featuring the story and enjoyed the 'water-cooler' chat that followed the scandal.above: those pictures. below: his 'n' hers outfits should have been a dead giveaway!
but what i have come to realize, is that people fellow r-patz fans are delighted for completely different reasons to myself. this is not about calling a young woman a slut. everybody makes mistakes, and k-stew has surely made a large and very public one. this is not about being excited that rob is single again- hello! he is not running to you(whoever you are!) for a shoulder to cry on. i am simply happy, that this girl, who comes across so cooler-than-thou in interviews has been slapped in the face by her own actions. congrats k-stew, you are just like the rest of us- you're human too. this chick just pisses me off so much with her artsy-hipster-angst-ridden persona, that i am just so glad that she has done something as low as the rest of us. yep, you're a regular hussy now. you're as good as a footballer. you made a very public and completely stupid mistake.
but that's as far as i will go with her. to label her a slut or a home wrecker or a whore is a little unfair. there was a married man involved in all of this. a significantly older married man. if she should've known better then he REALLY should've known better. he has seen very little public backlash. if anything, this publicity will probably help his career. what kind of example is the media setting to young girls here? basically the story screams 'double standard' and instills in us that men who cheat aren't that bad, but women who do should be burnt at the stake. did brad pitts career suffer after he ran off with angie? not that i can recall. and he was married to jen aniston. they were the golden couple of hollywood. instead the focus was on the 'seductress'(jolie) and the poor 'unlucky-in-love-victim'(aniston). lastly, lets just contemplate the possibility that rob could 'take her back'. the media would react like the world was coming to an end. angry mobs would take to the street. effigies of stewart would be burnt. death threats would be made...ok maybe i'm getting carried away, but you get my point. yet when bill clinton finally confessed to getting a bj from monica lewinsky, hillary was praised for 'standing by her man'. and lets not forget rihanna and chris brown. brown brutally beat the star, photos of her injuries went public, he was charged...yet he has gone on to acheive amazing musical success. he has millions of adoring fans who would do just about anything to be his girlfriend. how is that ok?!!
basically, i hope that k-stews career suffers. she doesn't deserve to be the highest paid actress in hollywood. i hope this whole thing takes her down a peg or 2. i hope she comes out as a lesbian and runs off with lindsay lohan and ends up in rehab. but i wish all of these things on her not because she is a 'slut'. i wish these things on her because i think she is an annoying dickhead. that is all.
above: the moral of my story in pictures- kristen=annoying. rob=lovely.
