Born on 9th April 1990 in Los Angeles , California , Kristen Jaymes Stewart is the only daughter of Television producer John Stewart and script supervisor Jules Mann Stewart. She has an elder brother Cameron and two adopted brothers Dana and Taylor. A supporter and member of the Red Cross National Celebrity cabinet, Ms. Stewart is also an animal lover and has a border – collie mix named Oz, two hybrid wolves Jack and Lily and a cat named Max. She completed her high school through correspondence and aspires to study literature at her mothers alma mater Sydney University, Australia. Kristen Stewart biography shows that one can never predict the path of life as from an early age, Kristen wanted to be a writer and was never interested in acting. She states that as her parents worked behind the camera, she was also looking forward to a career off screen. However she was spotted by an agent in her elementary school christmas play and after a series of auditions which went on for more than an year, Kristen shot her first movie “The Thirteenth Year ” wherein she had a non speaking role. Thereafter she did several movies and was nominated thrice for the Young Artist Award, which she won in the year 2007 for her outstanding performance in the movie “Into the wild”.

Kristen Stewart gushed into stardom with her portrayal of Bella Swan, a shy and lovely teenager madly and irrevocably in love with her vampire boyfriend, in the movie Twilight. The director Catherine Hardwickie met Kristen at the shoot of her movie ‘Adventure land ” and conducted an informal audition. Ms.Hardwickie was so impressed by Kristen’s acting that she signed her immediately for the movie and the rest is history. Kristen was perfectly suitable for Bella swan with a natural teenager look and an introvert nature. However, she has natural green eyes and had to wear brown contact lenses for this role. The movie and Kristen both have won several awards and honors resulting into her roles in Twilight saga Newmoon, Eclipse, The Breaking Dawn Part I and The Breaking Dawn Part II. Both the movies New moon and Eclipse were Box office Super hits and the viewers are anxiously waiting for The Breaking Dawn Part I, to be released in November 2011.

Kristen Stewart Style – Youth Style Icon

A digger for the blacks and grays, Kristen Stewart style is classic, elegant and chic. The leading lady of Twilight is one of those stars who can carry on a simple jeans and tee in such a way that it soon becomes the sensation of the year. Kristen swears by skinny narrow bottomed jeans and on an ordinary day you can spot her in one of her black, gray or blue jeans with a pair of comfortable converse and a simple tee or shirt. She completes this style with a back pack or a huge hand bag ,a watch and black subdued shades. Kristen does not hesitate to experiment for the red carpet and though she loves the vintage style and has been spotted in regal vintage ensembles, she loves short chic dresses and sexy skirts. She pairs the short numbers with her patent black heels and is ready to flaunt her legs. With her ever changing hairstyle and shimmering looks Kristen is undoubtedly a youth style icon.

Another case of art imitating life?

A topless Kristen Stewart, 20, and real-life love RobertPattinson, 24, share a tender embrace in the first still fromThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

Though the actors — who play Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, respectively — have been linked romantically for years, director Bill Condon tells Entertainment Weekly he was worried about how their pivotal love scene would translate on film.

“You want to live up to people’s expectations,” Condon explains. “People take [the movie and characters] personally. When you are interpreting something you have a certain vision of how it will be. Sometimes it is a liberal interpretation, but you hope you get to the essence of something.”

The low-key twosome — who rang in the new year together on the U.K.’s Isle of Wright — have only recently begun to show their affection for one another publicly.

“They’re much more open now about being a couple. He does what he wants and doesn’t listen to industry advice,” a Pattinson pal recently told UsMagazine.com. “They are the cutest couple.”

Shooting to fame with her role as Bella in the Twilight series, Kristen Stewart proved she’s no one-hit wonder. The actress posed for the February cover with Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez in a deserted L.A. warehouse, where she talked exclusively to Vogue.com about how she got her start in the business, the strangest part about being thrust under microscope, and where she sees herself in ten years.

Kristen Stewart stepped on stage in a shiny LWD at the Spike Scream Awards in LA Saturday night. She popped back to California for the evening from Louisiana where she and the rest of the cast are getting ready to take on the final Twilight installment. She won Best Fantasy Actress for her role in Eclipse and thanked her fans with a short speech. Kristen later got back in the spotlight to accept Best Fantasy Movie with her Twilight costars, Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone. We chatted with Nikki and Jackson about the amazing Breaking Dawn script, staying in costume as their Twilight characters for Halloween, and getting excited to film in Louisiana - check it out after the jump! Kristen and Robert Pattinson has been inseperable lately with multiple date nights while they gear up for filming the next installment of the series. Robert didn’t join his lady or his cast at the exciting award show where he won Best Fantasy Actor since he’s already in New Orleans getting ready for Breaking Dawn.

You know I’m not a fan of Kristen Stewart, but she’s scored her first ever Vogue cover, with the February 2011 issue, and I quite like it. She looks softer than usual, and the lighter hair really suits her. Granted, she still seems a little bit uncomfortable (clearly not even Mario Testino’s charm can make her smile) but the Proenza Schouler S/S 2011 dress is a fantastic choice for her, and I like the cover more and more each time I look at it. It’s definitely a grower. What do you think? Although Kristen doesn’t appeal to everyone (me included) I’m glad Anna is choosing to put to some new faces on the cover of Vogue. Lady Gaga is set for the March issue, and Rihanna was photographed by Annie Leibovitz last week for the magazine’s April issue. It would also be nice to see a few more models this year (Gisele was the only model to score a US Vogue cover in 2010). My top choices are Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss. I’m a big Karlie fan right now! 

Do you like Kristen’s Vogue cover? And does anyone else think it’s annoying that Kate Middleton is now being called Catherine Middleton?

Finally time for our afternoon Celeb Dirty Laundry’s  “Around the Web”post  which features some of the hot events that standout today.  We are starting  of course with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart news.  It seems that Robert Pattinson thinks Kristen Stewart is a natural at being a vampire.  He would know!   Another promotional picture from Breaking Dawn – they caught the two in bed having a snog.   I cannot believe we still have beauty competitions – last night another Miss America was crowned.  All the scoop about the competition HERE.

In the Ughhhh news of the day Lil’ Kim (and Camel Toe) made anappearance at a NY Club.  What was she thinking?  I gotta ask what is wrong with Britney Spears?  She has the money and the means to look really good but she still walks around looking like a cold mess!   In the strangest news  a Canadian company has bought the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s name, image, and likeness.  How long is it going to take for Marilyn Monroe promotions to show up?

Sandra Bullock finally addresses whether her and  Ryan Reynolds are dating, boinking whatever.  I hope so they are both cuties.  Meanwhile in more Sandra Bullock news she wins the worst hairstyle of the Golden Globes.  Lets hope the style was only for the evening.

For the last news of the afternoon YAY it’s Official Bing Bang Theory Jim Parsons Is A Big Star!

Kristen Stewart spent her Friday night partying at the LA club Troubadour alongside friends. She also had an evening out on the town earlier in the week, when she checked out a Sam Bradley concert with Robert Pattinson. He’s been busy lately, though, working on Water For Elephants with his adorable canine costar. Kristen is enjoying some downtime around home after her big press tour for their record setting movie Eclipse. Next up for her will be filming On the Road, and she’s also front and center in the new trailer for her Wecome to the Rileys.

‘This was the most mature film,’ David said.

‘We really wanted to address the sex issue, as we didn’t want Edward to come across as a prude. But Eclipse does suggest that perhaps there can be a natural rhythm to a relationship and you don’t have to jump into it straight away,’ he addedd.

Telling all on how they filmed the heat-filled scenes, David revealed he closed the set, to create added tension between rumoured couple Kristen and Rob.

‘This stuff is always awkward to shoot, and you just have to get people really comfortable with each other,’ he said.

‘We do it as a closed set. There’s no giggling and joking around, and everybody treats it very professionally – that’s just the way it works.’

And funnily enough, Rob and Kristen didn’t have any trouble with the steamy kissing scene.

‘They didn’t seem to be nervous, they were to be fine with each other,’ David revealed.

‘We shot that on the very last night and it just seemed to go wonderfully. It just flowed beautifully.’

Letting on he thinks the key to the Saga’s success is love, the Eclipse director added: ‘To find something which is so unapologetically a true love story is so rare. The film wears its heart on its sleeve. I think it’s culturally quite healthy to see true love as a nice thing, and not to get all angsty.’

Kristen Stewart kept her headphones on as she arrived at LAX headed east today. She’ll be spending the next few days promoting The Runaways in NYC, including a press junket and a premiere on Wednesday night. We’ll be keeping up our streak of Kristen coverage live from the red carpet and giving you our insider peek at all the action. Kristen’s only going as far as Manhattan, but her cross-country trek also brings her a few thousand miles closer to sweetheart Robert Pattinson, who had you swooning with brand new Bel Ami set pics today.
