Kristen Stewart: Here"s Why I Decided to Come Out of the Closet!
Last month, Kristen Stewart hosted what may have been the best episode of SNL this season, and in a memorable monologue, she addressed Donald Trump’s obsession with Twilight in general and with her in particular.
Stewart concluded by addressing the Donald directly, and informing the president that he’s barking up the wrong tree, as she’s “like, so gay.”
It was a proud moment for the LGBTQ community, as it wasn’t all that long ago that a celebrity informing a sitting president of her sexual orientation on live TV would have been the stuff of scandal.
While there’s much progress to be made, in 2017 such moments are widely applauded, a fact that activists and allies alike can take as one of the latest in the long line of victories that serve as signposts on the road to equality.
While Stewart has never hidden her sexual orientation from fans, she rarely discusses her personal life in the press.
However, it seems she’s willing to make an exception when the opportunity to send an important message in a poignant way arises.
Stewart addressed the issue of her love life in a recent interview with People magazine, discussing, among other things, why she never chose to talk about her post-Pattinson relationships in the past.
“I didn’t talk about my first relationships that went public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine,” Stewart told the magazine.
“I hated it that details of my life were being turned into a commodity and peddled around the world.”
Stewart says there was a time when she would have been content to keep her private life as private as possible for rest of her life.
However, the actress experienced a change of heart upon realizing how many young people she could make feel less alone simply by sharing her own story:
“Considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me,” Stewart said.
“It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.”
Stewart says her breakup up with Robert Pattinson left her wary of the press, but in recent years, she began to feel that it’s her responsibility to use her platform for good:
“If it didn’t seem like a relevant topic, like something that needed help, I would have kept my life private forever,” she said.
“When I was dating Rob, the public was the enemy — and that is no way to live. It wasn’t this grand statement, ‘I was so confused! Now I’ve realized who I am!’ I have not been struggling.”
Post-Twilight, Stewart has remained one of the most sought-after and celebrated talents in Hollywood, and it seems clear that she has every intention of remaining a role model to young people living on the fringes of society.
And Donald Trump is just gonna have to deal with it…

Tom Hiddleston: I Don"t Want to Talk About Taylor Swift Anymore!
Tom Hiddleston … well, he’s not doing so hot these days.
And there’s approximately a 100% chance that that’s because of Taylor Swift.
Tom was doing fine before he began dating Taylor last June. He had those Thor movies, he was a respected actor with a solid fan base. It was good.
But when he got with Taylor, something happened. He changed.
And not for the better.
About three seconds after they decided to get together (which coincidentally happened about three seconds after she broke up with Calvin Harris), they were photographed kissing on a beach.
After that, they were photographed going on dates around the world, meeting each other’s parents and having the most romantic time.
Oh, and who could forget Taylor’s annual Fourth of July party when Tom rocked a tank top that read “I Heart T.S.”?
It was embarrassing, overwhelming, and it only lasted for a few months — they announced their split in September.
Since then, Tom has spent his time talking about Taylor Swift, giving weird, self-congratulatory speeches, and then talking about Taylor Swift some more.
But now he’s had enough.
In a new interview with The Telegraph, Tom was asked if he regretted “the publicity and gossip” that came with his relationship with Taylor.
And his response, which he’s said to have given “testily,” was “What should I regret in your mind? I would rather not talk about this, if that’s all right.”
For one, it’s kind of dumb that Tom’s asking what he’s supposed to regret when the poor reporter was pretty clear. And for two … come on, Tom.
Then, “after a long pause, with his hand on his chin” — he sure sounds insufferable, huh? — he said “I’m just thinking about this. Everyone is entitled to a private life.”
“I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment, and in my mind I don’t conflict the two.”
“My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life,” he concluded. “And those two things are separate.”
It’s just kind of rich that he’s going on about having a “private life,” because of course he does, but when it suits his purposes, he’s totally fine with sharing intimate details.
Just last month, he said that “Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.”
And it’s worth saying again: he posed for a photo for Instagram in a tank top with the words “I Heart T.S.” on it.
But yeah, go ahead and sass reporters and pretend like you’re above all this media attention, Tom. Great plan.
