  Translation From blockbusters to indie movies, the heartthrob reinvents his career. Starring in 'Life' by Anton Corbijn, he talks about fame, burgers and vampires. We have all dreamed of his fangs planted in our necks. But this fantasy is now over! Robert Pattinson, the sexiest vampires, favorite topic of all the paparazzi since 'Twilight', has completely performed his metamorphosis. Two chic movies with David Cronenberg 'Cosmopolis' and 'Maps to the Stars', then 'The Rover' by David Michod, an amazing road trip in the Australian desert, made him change. As if after the 'Twilight' phenomenon, the indie movies allowed him to affirm serenely his talent in acting. In 'Life' by Anton Corbijn ('Control', 'A most wanted man...), in theaters on September 9, Robert Pattinson plays truthfully the photographer Dennis Stock, a friend of James Dean (we owe him the famous pictures taken in New York and in the farm of Indiana w...

Somewhere along her up-up-and-away path to stardom, Kristen Stewart acquired a certain blogosphere rep for being aloof, sullen, and allergic to smiley faces. None of that's actually true, but listen: If you  like  your K-Stew with a dash of sulky self-possession, you'll want to see  Still Alice . The emotional A-bomb of a film stars Julianne Moore as an academic seized by early onset Alzheimer's disease, and Stewart as her middle child, a moody, struggling actress flanked by two straight-A siblings. (Kate Bosworth plays the eldest, a lawyer, and Hunter Parrish is the youngest, a med school student.) In the film—which just nabbed a Golden Globe for Moore's outstanding performance—Stewart is by turns selfless and bratty, fiercely stubborn and sweetly insecure. By the end of the movie, you'll have loved her, hated her, wept with her…and probably obsessed about her perfect mess of hair, too. But if you'd like to meet the  real  Stewart—or at least, a small but candi...

Deciphering the Kristen Stewart Phenomenon At once the ultimate tough girl and the vulnerable everygirl, Kristen Stewart has been bringing emotional, undeniably real characters to the big screen for more than a decade. She has millions of fans and a slew of new projects big and small, but the actress's most impressive feat to date? Tuning out all that noise. Kristen Stewart is famous for—no, scratch that.  Famous  is too dinky a word to describe what Kristen Stewart is at this moment in America's cultural history. Kristen Stewart is a phenomenon for playing the girl in the  Twilight  movies, only, of course, she was really playing the boy. That's the secret of the franchise's appeal: It's a rehash of that tired old mothball-reeking, done-to-death, oh-Jesus-not-again Romeo and Juliet star-crossed-lovers redux, except—and here's what makes the material so fresh, gives it its kinky kick— he 's Juliet and  she 's Romeo. Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen—g...

      For the September issue, ELLE took over Fields Market in West Hills, California, turning aisles of organic produce, tuna cans, and soda into an everyday-glam backdrop for Kristen Stewart’s cover shoot. At once the ultimate tough girl and the vulnerable everygirl, Stewart has been bringing emotional, undeniable real characters to the big screen for more than a decade. She has millions of fans and a slew of new projects big and small, but the actress’s most impressive feat to date may be her ability to tune out all the noise and just be herself, no matter what. So what is it like to be, well, Kristen Stewart? In her cover story, Stewart discusses if having a private life is even possible for someone like her, how the sudden fame brought on by the Twilight phenomenon shaped her and her public image, and what actually makes her want to “fucking hang out and chat all day” with strangers. Here, a sneak peek at the story: Stewart on letting her career evolve naturally: “Ne...
