I decided to try something different with the blog this week and do a wrap-up post for all the events that happened with Paramore, Rob and Kristen from April 8-14 (Sunday-Saturday). It's kind of like what some other fansites do, linking back to their own content, but I'm linking to content that I'm a fan of.
Not thatmuch happened this week, just Paramore's third biennial Parahoy 2018: Deep Search cruise, as well as Kristen Stewart's 28th birthday on April 9. Robert Pattinson also had a new Dior Homme campaign with Karl Lagerfeld. Here's the fifth installment of The Weekly Update:
Madame Figaro France has always been known to showcase different sides to actors, actresses and more in a pristine yet edgy way. So it's only fitting that they do the same for Kristen Stewart. Her aura screams "sophisticated rebel", so this photoshoot doesn't shy away for her to be her daring self. Photographer Matthew Brookes ,makeup artist Christophe Danchaud, and hairstylist Ken O'Rourke did a great job of making Kristen's aesthetic stand out but not be too distracting from her natural beauty.
Shy and Reserved Kristen
Thoughtful Kristen
Barefoot and Buckwild Kristen
Smoky Kristen
Staring-into-Space-in-a-Total-Baddass-Way Kristen
And the best type of Kristen...Puppy-Baby-Mom Kristen!!
Hopefully the full interview will be available soon (translated, of course). But for now, I think we can live with these perfect photos.

Well, well, well, it looks like we finally can start the weekend with Robert Pattinson's new Dior Homme Black Carpet Intensity campaign, filmed by Chanel mogul Karl Lagerfeld. Chanel and Dior coming together!!
Kristen Stewart is seriously giving us David Bowie vibes with this new V Magazine Spring 2017 issue!! This is the magazine's 106th issue, so the official hashtag to celebrate is #V106. See the very bold and colorful photos and preview below.
The American folk tale gets an unexpected new twist in Craig William Macneill's new film.
Lizzie Borden took an axe / And gave her mother forty whacks / When she saw what she had done / She gave her father forty-one.
The story of Lizzie Borden and the brutal murder of her father and stepmother has long been one of early America’s signature — and very bloody — folk tales, and one that has inspired scads of adaptations for both the stage and screen, including a 1965 opera and a recent Lifetime made-for-TV movie and its subsequent limited series sequel, both starring Christina Ricci as the accused murderer.
But popular culture isn’t done with Lizzie yet, and a new film from “The Boy” director Craig William Macneill and newbie screenwriter Bryce Kass (he previously penned the 2014 TV movie “Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs”) looks to revisit the enduring tale, with a brand new twist. The film stars Chloe Sevigny as Lizzie, with Kristen Stewart taking a turn as the Borden maid Bridget Sullivan, and will reportedly use the pair’s relationship as a new lens from which to explore the crimes.
The new look at the Borden mythos is billed as a “gothic psychological thriller with an indelible romance at its core.” The film will explore “the events that led up to the notorious murders of the Borden family — and reveals the many layers of the strange, fragile woman who stood accused of their brutal murder” and will pick up “when Bridget Sullivan, a young maid, comes to work for the Borden family, [and] Lizzie finds a sympathetic and kindred spirit, and what begins as innocent companionship eventually escalates into attraction, love and bloody vengeance.”
“Lizzie” also stars Fiona Shaw, Jamey Sheridan, Kim Dickens, Denis O’Hare and Jeff Perry.
The film just wrapped principle production in Savannah, Georgia, and has celebrated by releasing a first look image at the film. There’s no blood, but definitely some dead people. Take a look.
“Lizzie” has not yet been picked up for distribution, but will likely arrive sometime in 2017.
~oOoOoOo~
It's so strange how this movie was just announced and now it's filming is done. Crazy!! I don't know the Lizzie story very well, but the photo gives off a very ominous feeling. Spooky...

See some new/old photos of Kristen Stewart and Olivier Assayas filming Personal Shopper at the Chanel Rue Cambon Paris store. Two years on from "Sils Maria", Olivier Assayas worked with the American actress in Paris on his new film “Personal Shopper”. The Maison Chanel supports the director by backing this latest project.
In addition to this involvement, some scenes has been shot in the rue Cambon premises. “I am a stickler for real-life settings in my films. There are only a handful of scenes in Personal Shopper that set a tone carried through the whole movie. To be able to film in Chanel's historic locations plus use Chanel clothing and accessories were crucial parts of making the film and her character credible," explains the director.

What a dope surprise!! Kristen Stewart participated in the New York Times Magazine's Great Performers LA Noir short film "Dying Lover".
I like the whole smoky, black and white. sultry feeling to it. It reminds me of Bonnie & Clyde, but without Clyde. See some photos and videos below:
KRISTEN STEWART
PERSONAL SHOPPER • CERTIAN WOMEN • CAFÉ SOCIETY • BILLY LYNN’S LONG HALFTIME WALK
"With grace, stealth and startling modesty, this onetime teen-franchise star has fashioned herself into one of the most inventive and subtle character actors in the movies today." - AO Scott
New York Times Critics AO Scott and Wesley Morris talk about Kristen:
MORRIS: Huppert is among the last of a dying breed of psychological star. That kind of acting has tended to be closely associated with the Europeans and the Method people, but is it nuts to watch Kristen Stewart work and think: She could be Huppert’s daughter?
SCOTT: No more nuts than my own hunch, which is that Kristen Stewart is the new Robert De Niro. Back in the ’70s and ’80s, De Niro’s reputation as the best actor in American movies rested on his ability to vanish completely into each role, to effect a physical and psychological transformation so total that you could barely recognize him from one movie to the next. Some of what he did was a matter of what you might call technical extremism: learning Sicilian dialect for “The Godfather Part II,” pushing his body from sinewy fighting trim to has-been bloatedness in “Raging Bull.” Stewart hasn’t quite done that yet, but she burrows as deeply as De Niro ever has into the interiors of her characters, arranging her expressions, her carriage, her vocal inflections — even, it can seem, her height and bone structure — accordingly.
You could say that, having been made, perhaps reluctantly, into a movie star by the “Twilight” movies, she has lately reinvented herself as the character actor she might have always preferred to be. Apart from her lead performance in Olivier Assayas’s “Personal Shopper,” she has been an ensemble player in 2016, with roles in Woody Allen’s “Cafe Society,” Kelly Reichardt’s “Certain Women” and Ang Lee’s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.” But the fact that she’s the most interesting person in all of those movies suggests that her movie-star charisma is still intact. She’s just using it in subtle and occasionally subversive ways.
MORRIS: I think Kristen Stewart is just about the best American movie actress we have. Her bad romance with movie stardom has served her well, because early exposure to its toxins might have fortified her resistance to mere fame. Unlike with, say, Ben Affleck, there’s no tension or ambivalence between her being an actor and her being a star. She appears to have rejected the latter to insist upon the value of the former. Lots of people can have it both ways, but it’s a balance that takes a while to achieve. Look at how long it took for Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio, whose allergy to overnight godliness foreshadowed Stewart’s. In the meantime, it’s fascinating to watch her flirt with stardom in the films she takes and the women she plays.
SCOTT: In “Cafe Society,” the Woody Allen movie, she takes what is, as written, an almost entirely functional character — the dream girl swooned over by both a middle-aged Hollywood mogul and his ambitious nephew; a catalyst of male desire and a mirror of masculine ego — and makes her into the only person in the film whose choices and desires really matter. In “Certain Women,” a much better movie, she slouches onto the screen with self-effacing diffidence. You may wonder if Elizabeth Travis, a young lawyer trying to earn some extra money teaching adult-ed classes to disgruntled teachers in a middle-of-nowhere Western town, is in possession of a backbone. Her posture is terrible. Her fashion sense is worse. She seems entirely capable of standing in front of a room full of people and vanishing from sight.
Except to a young ranch hand (Lily Gladstone), in whose eyes Elizabeth is a dazzling, almost magical creature, the most intoxicating and glamorous person she has ever encountered — a dangerous and alluring Edward Cullen to her own humble Bella Swan. But there is no winking from Stewart herself, and none of the kind of ostentatious deglamorization that stars sometimes traffic in when they are shopping for Academy hardware. If this is realism, it’s the kind that forces you to acknowledge the gaps and blurry spaces in your previous conception of reality.
Such kind, awesome, amazing, intelligent words!! Finally people are starting to understand Kristen's subtle, enhancing, nuanced acting style. I love it!! What a way to end the year.
