Back when we spoke to Kristen Stewart at Sundance while she was promoting “Welcome to the Rileys”, she told us on the red carpet that she has never “felt so personally involved in something” as she did with the film. In “Rileys,” Kristen plays runaway stripper and prostitute, Mallory, who James Gandolfini’s Doug Riley attempts to take in to lessen the pain of his own daughter’s death.

Kristen never took the role lightly, even going to strip clubs to speak to the girls working in them and hear their stories. When MTV News caught up with Kristen to discuss the film more, we asked if there were any lingering effects of Mallory still with her.

“Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. It’s just like any movie I’ve done, it changes me. Absolutely,” Kristen said. “And not just movies, like any experience you have is going to change you. But like the biggest, monumental things in my life have always been films, so this one has been — out of any movie I’ve done — definitely the most transformative.”

Kristen had a little trouble sharing what exactly what is was she took from the film, but then explained it was something she could feel inside of her at all times.

“I think I’m just a little bit more sensitive. I’m so, i’f you looked at a girl wrong now, I would fly across the room and kill you.’ It’s like I feel so, so, so protective of this certain thing that women have, and [laughs] yeah,” she said. “So that I definitely take from it, which is different because I didn’t have that before, and now I’m like weird about it. Like I overcompensate. Like you would be like, ‘Calm down. Like, What happened to you?’ No, I just did a movie. [laughs] I wasn’t like raped, horrifically raped.”

Tween Twilight fans may have fueled the intense interest in New Moon star Kristen Stewart, but they’re going to be locked out of the actress’s next films: the R-rated The Runaways, the Joan Jett-Cherie Currie biopic with her New Moon costar Dakota Fanning (due in theaters March 19), and Welcome to the Rileys, which both screened at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

At the film fest in Park City, Utah, the 19-year-old wore skinny jeans and sneakers in the snow and a khaki jacket she pulled close against the endless cold. She had that rebel without a cause vibe, a junior James Dean. This was not an actress racing toward couture and acclaim, but nervously holding herself together, knees thrumming uncontrollably, until she could slip behind her next part. As the 70’s rock rebel Joan Jett, Stewart channels the teen spirit of girls growing up in a world where pudgy guitar teachers unapologetically told them they couldn’t play electric guitar simply because they were girls. As Jett, she also takes drugs, blows pot smoke into the mouth of her bandmate Cherie Currie (Fanning) and plants a same-sex kiss. Bye-bye, Bella: Twilight this is not.

Kristen Stewart’s civic duty involved sex, prostitutes and an undercover cop — and the guy on trial even got a happy ending.

TMZ has learned Stewart was a member of an L.A. jury this week — in a 3-day case involving a man accused of trying to pay an undercover cop for some temporary lovin’.

The defense argued that their client was innocent because he doesn’t speak English very well and the whole sex solicitation thing was just a case of lost in translation.

In the end, the “Twilight” star — along with her peers — agreed with the defense and found the man not guilty.

After the trial, we’re told Stewart was so proud of her contribution to society that she asked if she could keep her juror badge … and they let her.

As you already know, Kristen Stewart received a nomination for the Orange British Academy Film “Rising Star” Award, and, for the winner to be determined, fans of the nominees submit their votes for their respective choices.

Of course, Kristen Stewart’s fans – at least those who are in a suitable geographic location to vote – have been voting away, hoping to help the actress win the award.

As a result, a recent Variety article predicts that Kristen Stewart is bound to win the award. The publication bases its prediction on her involvement with the Twilight saga.

Variety suggests that a trend has developed over the past few years where the winner is always a leading cast member in a popular film from that year.

In the past, James McAvoy won after “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” Eva Green after “Casino Royale” and Shia LaBeouf after “Transformers.” Last year, Noel Clarke’s fanbase from “Adulthood” and TV’s “Doctor Who” trumped the higher Hollywood profile of Michael Cera.

While Stewart’s recent film catalogue is not exclusively Twilight (what with The Runaways, Welcome To The Rileys, The Yellow Handkerchief, and even Adventureland), Variety points to the saga as the source of the majority of her voters.
