Kristen Steward Says She Hasn’t Changed Since Kindergarden

Kristen Stewart attempts to explain her rash and sometimes temperamental behavior during interviews by saying that she really hasn’t changed much since kindergarten. The actress said, “I wore a T-shirt in kindergarten that said, ‘Kick butt first. Ask names later.’ ” She went on to say, “I’ve always been overly indignant in my reactions to not being able to be myself.” She apparently enjoys being uncomfortable and downright wacky during interviews as she recently said, “When I did the first Twilight movie, they were like, ‘Now you have to go and do media training,’ ” she says. “And I was like, ‘Screw you! Do you think you are going to wrap up all my little insecurities and throw them out the window? Do you think you are going to put soundbites in my mouth? I’ll do your course, but that’s not going to happen.’ ” I say, do the training because it is really painful to watch you during interviews, Kristen!

Kristen Stewart Likens Fame to Being Raped?

Kristen Stewart typically seems uncomfortable in front of cameras or when being interviewed, which is kind of ironic since she is involved in the very popular Twilight movie series which has a heavy fan base and gets quite a bit of publicity. So, how does she handle it? Not well. She recently told Britain’s Elle Magazine that, “What you don’t see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction. The photos are so … I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. She went on to say, “A lot of the time I can’t handle it. I never expected that this would be my life.”

More Chris Brown / Rihanna Interviews

Chris Brown has something to say about ex-girlfriend Rihanna’s revealing interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, in which the singer spoke frankly about the Feb. 8 incident in which he assaulted her.

“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8,” Brown says in a statement to MTV News, “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.”

In the Diane Sawyer interview, Rihanna said that Brown, 20, put her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers. “He had no soul in his eyes,” Rihanna, 21, told Sawyer. “He was clearly blacked out.”

And the singer — whose new album Rated R drops later this month — explained why she is speaking so publicly. “I knew I had to do this in order to move on for me and in order for my fans to move on . . . I don’t want that five years from now every time they see Rihanna, they think of Chris Brown beating me. That’s not who I am.”

She also wishes her ex well in the interview.

In his statement today, Brown continued, “I do appreciate [Rihanna's] support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions . . . Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service and one year of domestic violence counseling.
