Actress Kristen Stewart Remembers Being Made Fun of At School


Kids at school can be really cruel. Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart remembers being bullied as a kid at school like it was just yesterday. The “Snow White and The Huntsman” star admitted that kids made fun and bullied her because of her tomboy appearance when she was younger. Stewart is well-known for her laidback fashion style. She was even spotted wearing Converse shoes on the red carpet. However, the “Twilight” actress appeared to be much worse when she was still a teenager. Kristen Stewart claimed that she was a “boy” before turning 15 years old.

"I hated school so much. Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother's clothes, dude!” Stewart told The Sun. There also came a time in her life that the clothes she wears at school is not the only problem or issue. Her personal hygiene became another source of teasing for Stewart. "I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like: 'Oh my god! That's disgusting. You don't shave your legs!'" the young actress shared.

Recently, Kristen Stewart was named as the “Most Fashionable Star” but she said that she never really cared and gave that much thought on fashion during her teenage years. “I remember being made fun of, because I wasn't wearing designer Juicy Couture jeans,” she revealed. "I didn't even think about it. I wore my gym clothes,” Stewart further shared. Even though Kristen Stewart appears to be unfazed with the non-stop criticisms regarding her look, the actress has confessed that the kids who bullied her at school really had a strong effect on her. “But it's not like I didn't care that they made fun of me. It really bothered me.” Stewart said.

Well, Kristen Stewart can now have the last laugh. She already established herself as a famous young actress in the film industry with a unique sense of style that fashion designers approve of. Not only that, she also managed to capture the heart of the “Twilight” actor and heartthrob, Robert Pattinson.

‘Snow White and The Huntsman’ is The Fairest Movie of Them All in Australia


“Snow White and The Huntsman” is currently the fairest movie of them all as Australian movie goers flocked the theaters on the film’s opening weekend. Hollywood stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth helped a lot in giving their film a strong boost with their public appearances while promoting the movie. Well, hard work had definitely paid off because the movie takes on the top spot in Australia’s box office with a staggering $6.19 million earning during the first weekend film release.

Stewart and Hemsworth flew to Sydney, Australia last week just to be at the movie premiere of “Snow White and The Huntsman” which also stars Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron as the evil queen. Fans were happy to see the movie stars promoting their film and it is what made these movie fanatics decide to check out their latest work in theaters.

The Disney princess in a Pixar Animation movie “Brave” was not able to take the throne from Snow White. However, the fairy tale themed movie came in at second place in the box office with a figure of $2.5 million in the opening weekend of the film. According to the figures given by the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia, other films such as “Prometheus” by Sir Ridley Scott and “That’s My Boy” which is the latest comedy film of actor Adam Sandler was moved to the third and fourth place, respectively.

Meanwhile, “Rock of Ages” starring Tom Cruise did not make that much noise in the box office and the film is on its third week already since the release making it land on the fifth spot in the list. “Men in Black III” moved down to the sixth place in the box office list and the ensemble comedy film “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” is at number seven. “The Avengers” is currently at number eight on the list but the movie managed a ground-breaking box office record by taking $52.7 million overall since the film was first released. The period drama film “A Royal Affair” is at ninth place in the box office while the Canadian comedy movie “Take This Waltz” completes the list at the number ten spot. 

“The Avengers” is now claimed to be the third biggest movie ever on the Australian box office next to the the films “Avatar” and “Titanic.” Will “Snow White and The Huntsman” be able to surpass the record that “The Avengers” movie hold? If the film can, then it will really make Snow White the fairest of them all.

Irish Group Westlife Became Emotional at Their Final Performance


The famous chart-topping boy band from Ireland has announced that they amicably decided to part ways. The Irish boy group of four is made up of handsome members Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Shane Filan. The band was first launched in the music industry comprising of originally five members but Brian McFadden left the group to focus more on a solo career in 2004. Westlife gave their fans an unforgettable experience with the group’s final performance this year on their homecoming concert which was held at Dublin’s Croke Park.

Westlife released a statement regarding their decision on the group’s split after being together for an amazing 14 years. "The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures. We see the greatest hits collection and the farewell tour as the perfect way to celebrate our incredible career along with our fans. We are really looking forward to getting out on the tour and seeing our fans one last time," the statement that was released by the Irish group read.

According to BBC reports, around 80,000 certified Westlife fans became a part and watched the group’s farewell show during the weekend. It is also reported that their final performance will be screened in cinemas and then showed in Ireland, United Kingdom and across Europe. Westlife belted out for the last time all of their hit songs with a performance that lasted for more than two hours.

“As this is the very last Westlife concert, the whole idea was to be able to get out here and see our fans one last time and celebrate 14 years," Westlife member Kian told the crowd. Meanwhile, his band mate Mark Feehily also expressed his thoughts on how Westlife fans made their dreams for 14 years come true. “This show is dedicated to each and every one of you. Our fans mean so much. You have never stopped supporting us. Thanks so much. You're not just our fans. You are our friends and have been with us each step of the way,” Feehily said.

Singer Madonna and Her Weird ‘Sterilizing’ Diva Demand


According to reports, the Queen of Pop Madonna demands that her dressing rooms must be sterilized after her performances on her current tour in order to prevent DNA theft. So, the “Material Girl” makes sure that no trace of her skin cells or hair must be left behind by employing a sterilization team. Members of this sterilization team wipe away all the traces so that no remnants of the pop diva will be left behind. Is Madonna paranoid or just being cautious?

The “Winnipeg Free Press” reports that Madonna told her concert organizers in a strict manner that her entourage members are the only ones who can have a backstage access. Alvaro Ramos is the one responsible for promoting Madonna’s Portuguese leg of the tour and he revealed the information about the singer’s unusual demands.

“We have to take extreme care like I have never seen for any other artist. We cannot even look at the dressing room after it is ready, or even open the door,” Ramos said at a press conference. “We can only enter after her sterilization team has left the room. There will not be any of Madonna’s DNA, any hair, or anything. They will clean up everything. In the end, it is all to protect her and make her feel comfortable. I do understand it, but it is taken to extremes,” Ramos further added.

Having this kind of demand really makes Madonna eccentric as she takes some things a little bit too far. She even has asked her team in reconstructing her dressing room. “Her team will build everything for her, including fake ceilings and fake walls, so they can ensure that no one has hidden a camera somewhere,” Ramos revealed. Meanwhile, a source that is close to “Express Yourself” singer reportedly shared that Madonna is indeed a perfectionist and expects truly the best. “But then, at her age and with her status, why shouldn’t she?” the source said. Her actions leave people confused and looking for answers with questions like: What exactly is her purpose on doing such things? Does Madonna think that someone will really take her DNA and try to create her clone?
