Kristen Stewart Fails At Interview Challenge



These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question and answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?

It's been quite a year for Kristen Stewart. Leaving aside her tumultuous off-screen existence, she put a cap on one blockbuster franchise (in all, the five "Twilight" movies made more than $1.3 billion at the box office), kicked off another ("Snow White and the Huntsman" took in a healthy $155 million) and renewed her indie-movie cred card with a daring performance in Walter Salles' "On the Road," which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and opens in limited release on December 21. HuffPost recently talked to Stewart about "On the Road" -- and persuaded her to answer some #nofilter questions while we had her attention.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?
Hmm. I take these things very seriously. Whenever anyone's like, "Oh, we're just gonna do a fun quick-fire-question thing." My guiltiest pleasure? Shit. God. Dude, what's yours?

Oh, God, I probably wouldn't want to say, now that I think about it.
See?



Have you ever stolen anything?
Actually, no. I stole a pack of gum when I was younger and literally turned right around and gave it back. And he was such an asshole to me. I was like, "I should have just walked. I am being a good person." And he literally chastised me for 15 minutes. I was like, "Why did I even give this back to him?"

If failure weren't an option, what's one thing you would do?
Oh, god. God. That is too -- dude, these are not quick-fire questions. They're heavy questions.

What shows are on your DVR?
I actually don't watch TV.

Do you ever text in the movie theater?
Um, I don't typically sit in a movie theater.

If you could ask Kim Kardashian one question, what would it be?
Um, wow. I have no idea.

What a stimulating interview

I hate when the extent of an "article" is just a verbatim interview. And these questions suck. Why not, I don't know, use the interview to flesh out what you're writing?

JOURNALISM!

(that being said, she's not doing too hot in this either, but I don't think it's 100% her fault)

The no filters are always like this though. They aren't really interviews in my opinion.

Also I've really enjoyed some of the no filters from huffpo. The super annoying girl from the OC did one and she was pretty funny.

you'll have to be more specific... anna?

This. I probably would've given answers just as dumb. What are those questions even?

I think the introduction from Huffpo pretty much states that this isn't a regular interview, rather a series of quick-fire question and answer

If you have a look at the other #nofilter entries, I think the point is that many celebs get asked the same random, inane questions.

not all questions are identically all the time but e.g. the guilty pleasure one gets asked every time as far as I know and surprise, surprise the other celebs gave answers?
the DVR and "have you stolen anything" question are asked a lot too. imo some celebs so far have given funny answers.

and generally: quick-fire round of questions are most of the time inane, random, unrelated questions?
