Kristen Stewart Learned Stripping From The Pros

I talked to a couple of girls who worked in a strip club that
we actually used for the set. One of them was really dynamic, really interesting
and charismatic. The other girl was less willing to talk about stuff, which
means she's probably more in touch with it than the girl that was willing to
talk about it. She's in the middle.


Actress Kristen Stewart, talking about the research for her role as a stripper and prostitute in the new film "Welcome to the Rileys," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week. The film also stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo as a couple who recently lost their teenage daughter who take in the wayward Stewart. It'll be one of three high-profile films that the young actress appears in this year, as she'll not only open "Welcome to the Rileys" but also "The Runaways" (a biopic in which she stars as legendary rocker Joan Jett) and, of course, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" (which involves monsters of some sort).

Speaking of "The Runaways," Stewart impressed at least one person in her portrayal of Jett: Original Runaways Jett and Cherie Currie. "It was too much for me to handle, to be honest with you," Currie told MTV News. "For the first time, I got to see what it was like to be in an audience and look at the Runaways. It was that right-on. This all is so surreal! I went to sleep, woke up in this amazing dream, and I can't wake up. I don't want to wake up. And guess what? I don't have to!"

"The Runaways" opens in theaters on March 19, while "Welcome to the Rileys" should hit some time later this year.
