She might be a good influence on Kristen. God knows she needs one. I'm not knocking her for her choices, except, if she plans on making this Hollywood movie star gig a career she isn't going to do well in the long run if she doesn't grow into it. You can have all the beauty in the world and it doesn't matter. Look at Meagan Fox. So, she can learn from Lawrence who seems to genuinely appreciate and enjoy the experience.

Stewart is what... 28? She's old enough to get her shit together herself, lose the attitude. She always looks a hot mess besides.

She got a lot of attention at a very young age and I don't think she was prepared for it, despite having parents who were in the business. The Twilight saga kicked her out of the Indie mentality she was in. I remember those early interviews. Robert Patterson was the only one mature enough to understand how important it was to get it right. He was having anxiety attacks over it. While she was still thinking along the lines that it was an indie movie, so what are you fretting about? With Catherine Hardwicke as a director, I can understand why she fell in that trap. Not that Hardwicke is a bad director. Just that there was so much that she could have done better.

The biggest mistake of the franchise was Chris Weitz. Trying to turn New Moon into a throw-back romantic classic took it in a different direction than where it started. What saved that first movie was the cutting edge music. But New Moon was the one movie where I thought Alexandre Desplat phoned in the score. And Stewart needed a different director to get the emotional scenes right at the beginning of the movie. I don't think she succeeded. But, hey, she was young. If she takes the experience and grows from it, people will look forward.

And the answer that Jennifer will probably tell Kristen, is that Jennifer doesn't overthink everything.
