When you’re somebody like Kristen Stewart, every move you make is looked at under a magnifying glass. Whether you’re doing something good or otherwise, you can bet that it will be plastered all over the blogs, tabloids and entertainment shows within hours. Which made it all the more refreshing last week when word spread — from Twitter to paparazzi to news outlets — that KStew was making a rare appearance on the Hollywood party scene, in support of Haiti relief efforts.
Much like “Twilight Saga” costars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, who both participated in George Clooney’s telethon launched days after a massive earthquake rocked the country and killed hundreds of thousands — KStew used her star power to get some help for Haiti. And when we asked her recently about the appearance, she said it was a no-brainer.
“I would imagine it would mean a lot to anyone who cares about any level of humanity,” Kristen explained of her desire to help Haiti relief efforts. She urged her fans to do the same. “It would make sense to me.”
As for the event itself, Kristen said that she usually doesn’t make a habit of venturing out to the Hollywood hotspots, but in this case, she made an exception because she knew it would benefit earthquake survivors in dire need of help.
“I was just invited to it; it wasn’t like a big deal,” explained Kristen, who can be seen February 26th in “The Yellow Handkerchief,” opening in limited release. “[The organizers were] just like ‘Do you want to come? It would mean a lot to the fans.'"
“I said ‘Of course I’ll be there,'" Kristen explained, playing down her formidable star power while simultaneously insisting that any other person in her position would do the same. “It wasn’t a big deal. It was just something where, of course I’d help.”
Have the "Twilight" stars' efforts influenced your donations to "Haiti" in any way?
