Is Bella Swan A Good Cook?
by Alice on Jan.10, 2011, under Actor, Actress, Entertainment, Films, Movies
Kristen Stewart is an “incredible” cook
The 20-year-old American actress stars with Garrett Hedlund in the movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel ‘On The Road’ and the actor admits his culinary skills will never be a match for his co-star.
Garrett told MTV News: “You got to try the tortilla soup! It’s incredible. She’s honed it.
“I’m pretty much a klutz in the kitchen. I go through waves. Sometimes I just depend on pots and pans and cook up out of convenience, and sometimes I can’t even find a fork.”
Kristen has previously revealed she loved to cook for the cast of the film – which also includes Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen and Sam Riley – saying the tortilla soup was her signature dish.
She said: “I didn’t bake; I cooked a lot, though. I think I can do a really, really good, terrific tortilla soup. That was my ‘On the Road’ dish.”
However Kristen didn’t just cook for her ‘On the Road’ castmates, the actress – who plays Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight Saga’ series, also loves to throw big parties for those involved with the vampire franchise, including her boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
She said: “I get really embarrassed when people ask me what I cook, for some reason. I shouldn’t say that I cook anymore. There was like a big BBQ situation and, like, a bunch of steaks and veggies, and I made chicken piccata. I’m so embarrassed right now. But I made homemade marinara sauce starting at, like, two in the afternoon. It wasn’t done until eight. It was incredible. The ‘Twilight’ cast showed up.”

Amy Adams Can’t Wait To Know The Sex Of Her Unborn Baby
by Alice on Dec.08, 2009, under Actress, Mother
The ‘Doubt’ actress – who is expecting her first child with fiance Darren Le Gallo – admits she is “too impatient” to wait for the child to be born before finding out whether she’s having a boy or a girl.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I’m too impatient to wait for a surprise. We’ll probably find out. I thought about waiting and I just don’t think that’s really my personality. It’s not about planning a nursery, it’s more about I just want to know. I want to be able to relate in that way. That’s what works for me, but I totally believe in whatever works for the individual.”
Amy, 35, got engaged to Darren last July but says she’s been too busy to get married. But now she’s got some time off she’s going to start planning their nuptials.
She said: “We actually had a date, and then we had to push it because I took a part. I actually had to get permission and I called him and said, ‘We’re actually going to have to push the date.’ Now that I have the time off we’ll definitely be planning it.”
