Kristen - She's All Woman and So Much More...

Gorgeous, fierce Kristen...
"With the wind in her hair, the brunette beauty looked like a natural on a stunning white horse as she rode along the beach." - The Daily Mail (UK)

If I'd have known that a story i read when i was a little girl, written by the Brothers Grimm (and not Walt Disney) would be turned into such an iconic tale of a warrior Princess, as is being done for Kristen's new movie; 'Snow White and the Huntsman' I would not have put up with the simpering fairy tale of 'whistling while i worked' not to mention, having to look after 'seven crabby old dwarves' in a little cottage in the middle of a forbidden forest. Only to suck really bad at the warning 'DO not take sweets from strangers' ergo, the whole 'eat this juicy red apple little girlie and then die!'

While the movie industry is battling over 'Who Is The Fairest Of Them All?' the Disney-esque version; starring Phil Collins (music maestro) daughter and recent ex of Taylor Lautner - Lily Collins. Or the battle proud, bad-ass-not-a-little-girl-anymore, ready to overthrow the evil Queen version; starring Kristen Stewart. I find myself drawn more to the bad-ass Snow White, because it proves that the damsel in distress, the lady that has to be rescued from the evil clutches of 'wanting her heart torn from her chest, whilst still beating' can kick some serious ass, and still look good.
Which version - fairytale or modern tale?
Both actresses are beautiful, despite some hags believing that Kristen looks like a man than a fairytale princess. But then again, if the haters believe Kristen should be brushing a broom around a room, while waiting for her handsome Prince to come to her door on a white horse...then maybe they should stop visiting Disneyland and put away the Princess Diaries, because in Snow White and the Huntsman - that ain't gonna happen. Lily Collins is taking on a up to date version of the 'fairytale' judging by the synopsis of 'Snow White' that's exactly how it is being portrayed. We all love Snow White it has to be said. It's one of the few movies i can remember as a child and loving the the whole concept of a beautiful young girl, whose life is turned upside down, when her step mother 'the Wicked Queen' decides that there was not enough room in the Kingdom for the two of them. Sending the Huntsman into the woods with the warning; 'return with her lungs and her liver' - up to date Disney version replaced that with her 'heart'. With so many remakes of old TV shows and action book heroes, this is one in which i believe evokes that little girl in all of us. Of course, Kristen's version looks set to be in line with the likes of 'The Mask of Zorro' with the Huntsman, played by the delightful on the eye - Chris Hemsworth (Thor) deciding to train the young Princess into fighting against the evil, vain and narcissistic Queen of the land - played by the too stunning for words, Charlize Theron.
Kristen and Chris looking natural on their horses...
But what i actually like about this role, despite the fact Kristen, looks as if she was born to be on a horse. Decked in armour, with her long black hair whipping in the wind behind her, is that it's killing some females, who believe she will ruin the storyline for them. I know i love to beat a dead horse with a stick, but the haters of this fandom tickle me pink with their cries and woes of jealous ranting. How she will destroy their image of Snow White, how her acting is mediocre at the best of times. How her flat chested appearance will just look stupid and how she is flirting with every male on the set of her movie, while poor long suffering boyfriend Rob is licking his wounds back in LA. Ah yes, it always comes back to who she is with, not her acting, because really - can they do any better? 

You see, the way i look at life is very simple; don't judge someone for something you are not willing to try yourself?' If you want to call a young 21 year old actress out on her acting abilities. Abilities i hasten to add, she has been developing since she was 10 years old, do so - only if you can do better. if you can win the roles she has won, if you can earn the money she is currently making - acting so...badly. As much as the jealousy is funny, it's also downright insulting. Oh i know they claim she is terrible at it; she has only one expression, her acting is flat, her voice cuts through them like glass. She smokes pot, she looks like a man and on and on the drivel goes. The air is thick with their bullshit, because they have to try and use any excuse to hate her. It's bad enough that she is dating a man they all want a piece of, and that's where the jealousy comes from. 

Kristen is a very talented actress; she has been in countless movies and won the role hands down of Bella Swan. A role, thousands of young women can associate with; teenage girl falls hopelessly in love with the iconic fantasy male - all pale, moody and interesting. I have seen most of her movies and not to be biased, but she has got better as she has got older with the roles she has taken on and the emotional depth she has brought to each character. Of course, the best movie by far she did in my opinion, was 'Panic Room' i can't recall how many times i have watched it. That and 'The Messengers' a really creepy psychological thriller. Hands down, Kristen has lead the way timidly in movies that have rarely made a blip on the radar of the movie industry, because they have been 'Independents' - low budget productions. With story lines, often too heavy for most of the mainstream 'brainwashed' minds, softened by blockbuster action thrillers and the continuous need for Romantic Comedies.
Seductive and sexy...
She is a natural beauty and humble to a fault. It doesn't matter to me how many haters throw insults her direction, because they do so, knowing that if they looked in the mirror. Looked really hard at themselves, they would not like what looked back at them. They can't have what she has. They can't have her beauty, her wit, her independent and fiercely protective mind. Her quiet intelligence and her selfless love, for those who get to know her. But above all else, they can't have the love that she receives, the devoted care that one person gives her. Shown with every touch, every smile, every movement drawn towards her. Every vote of encouragement and every bit of support that is given to her, that has allowed this young woman to bloom and grow for three years.

They would rather make up stories about living the 'single life' then sell it to magazines who don't give a toss who they write about, because it's always rubbish. Think of ways to put twisted thoughts down in posts; separation issues, exit strategies, PR showmances and late night hook ups with co-stars. Anything, rather than just accept that Kristen is a woman and she owns their asses. Why else would they go out of their way to hate her? Her acting will continue to grow, those that care know this for sure. Kristen is essentially one of the most talked about young actresses in Hollywood right now, and anyone who has met her can do nothing but sing her praises about how extraordinarily talented she is. She is also one half of it has to be said, the most talked about young 'hot' couple in the movies.
Mr and Mrs. Edward Cullen...
Breaking Dawn is a long time in the making and has become one of the most sought after movies to be released this November, because it finally brings together Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) as husband and wife. it also sees Kristen's character Bella finally grow up, get married to her handsome but somewhat pale and interesting boyfriend Edward. Get whisked away to a fantasy island where let's face it, not a lot of suntanning is involved. (impromptu sparkles on the beach would put any one off) Breaks a few headboards (the bit every female in the world is looking forward to, including Bella) before finding out that the careful discreet box of 'monthly friends' that was placed in her luggage - won't be needed for the foreseeable future.

That and of course, everyone who is a fan of Rob and Kristen will be looking forward to the countless times they kiss, cuddle, look adoringly at each other. Break a bed, walk around showing a lot more flesh than they have ever done...and for the script that is called for, make a baby. Since 2008; everyone has been riveted to a story line of forbidden love, heartbroken confessions and near death experiences. All wrapped up with the two actors, who have brought two very much loved characters to life. It was Catherine Hardwicke (director of Twilight) who said;  

"Robert and Kristen have this amazing sexual chemistry between them - we could see it in the audition. That's why we cast them, you can't create that."

Kristen and Rob are fantastic actors in their own right, but you can't create chemistry if it's not there. Despite haters suggesting they are faking it 99% of the time 'I kiss my male friends, hold their hands, visit their work places, go on holidays and buy shelter puppies...ALL THE TIME' You can't create what Rob and Kristen have together, it's there and always has been.
Natural Beauty...
While those who would rather bitch about how ugly this young woman is (i kid you not, me thinks a new prescription is needed for their rose coloured lenses) i would rather bask in her happiness. Drown in her complete confidence, that has grown with each passing year. Get swept up in her laughter, because she does actually laugh (I know, shocking for some) and grin at the love that is evident in her eyes, because she is a woman in love.

Kristen is a woman, all woman...and so, much more!
