Warm Welcoming



(NEW YORK) Kristen Stewart and James Gandolfini, both fueled by mega pop culture phenomenons like Twilight and The Sopranos, drew quite a crowd Monday night during the Cinema Society and Everlon Diamond Knot Collection screening of Welcome to the Rileys. Guests likeChristina HendricksGerard Butler and Danny DeVito stepped out to see the film, which tells the tale of a young, wayward teenager (Stewart) who creates a bond with the Rileys (Gandolfini and Melissa Leo). Stewart admitted she shares a sense of humor with her character but is more demure.  “I’m not as vulgar as she is.” She paused and continued, “I do curse, just not nearly as badly.”
In addition to having a penchant for cussing, Stewart’s character works as a stripper. “I actually went to a strip club for the very first time,” said the actress on her preparation for the role. Sporting dark locks for the Twilightfranchise, Stewart confessed she’s been going non-stop. “I was literally working on Breaking Dawn this weekend, and I haven’t had time off in a while. But you know, it really doesn’t bother me. I’m kind of boring. If I did have time to myself, I would probably just do nothing.”
“You have to be into the whole Twilight series, right?” asked James Woods, as he nodded towards his girlfriend, Ashley Madison, who quickly corroborated. “I’m 24 and so all my friends and I have read the books. Couldn’t put them down!” Meanwhile, Hendricks, arm-in-arm with husband Geoffrey Arend, confessed, “This whole experience is new for me, I’m excited!” Director Jake Scott revealed, “There were some pretty nasty things that happened during filming, because it was in a really rough part of New Orleans…But Jim [Gandolfini] lightened the mood on set, because he likes to make animal noises. Like a screaming donkey or something,” he said and demonstrated. “I really don’t know what animal, but he would do all these weird noises after a take and we’d all be like, what is he doing?”
Post-screening, guests dried their eyes and headed over to the new Club Room at the Soho Grand Hotel, unwinding with a bit of DeLeon tequila. Meanwhile, Stewart slipped out of her Valentino frock and into something more comfortable—jeans and a knit beanie. With the 31st looming near, Woods shared a memorable Halloween snafu. "One time I was on the Tonight Show back when it was Johnny Carson. It was one of the first times I had been on a show like that, and I just wore a plain suit not realizing it was the special Halloween episode. Johnny asked, ‘What kind of costume is this?’ And I said, ‘I’m going as a republican.’”

Kristen Stewart: Motherhood confounds me



In the upcoming "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, becomes a mother. But that's a reality the actress says she has a hard time comprehending.
"My best friend just had a baby. She's my age. So I'm a godmom now, which is ... crazy," said the 20-year-old during an interview to promote her upcoming film "Welcome to the Rileys."
Asked if the experience was helping her tap into her own maternal instincts, she replied: "It's actually making me realize more that I have absolutely no idea. Like, I see that going on, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God.' "
Though "Breaking Dawn," the fourth installment in the “Twilight” franchise, doesn’t begin production for a few weeks, Stewart says she's already been caught up with preparations for the film. She's had a number of meetings with director Bill Condon and has even temporarily eliminated some favorites from her diet.
“I want a cheeseburger so badly, but, you know, I have to be a vampire in a few weeks,” she said over lunch at a restaurant in Topanga, where she settled for a veggie burger.
Ironically, she won't even be able to show off her figure for the majority of "Breaking Dawn."
“I’m incredibly pregnant in the first movie,” Stewart said, adding that she has spent the last couple of weeks trying on prosthetic bellies. “I’ve worn it. It’s ... crazy. I’ve done fittings. It gets immense. It gets so massive at some point that it actually looks inhuman. Like it’s hurting her. There are striations of bruises.”
