KStew Wins Role
Over Jennifer Lawrence

Some fans predicted that Kristen Stewart's career would suffer after her cheating scandal. Guess again! She just beat The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence for a new role.

Kristen Stewart might still be trying to get Robert Pattinson to forgive her after her dalliances with Rupert Sanders, but that's not distracting her from her career. The actress has just signed on to star in an adaptation of Wiliam Styron's 1951 novel Lie Down in Darkness.

She even managed to get the role over America's current teen sweetheart, The Hunger Games' Jennifer Lawrence.

What remains in question is the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman. Universal told Vulture that "nothing has changed and we are still looking at sequel options that would include Rupert [Sanders] directing." Not if Sanders' wife, Liberty Ross, has anything to do with it. The model reportedly told her philandering husband that there's no way she'll let him work with Stewart again.

Fans lose it over Kristen Stewart's cheating >>

"Liberty let it be known in no uncertain terms that Rupert can't direct the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman," a source told RadarOnline. "Rupert is obviously disappointed because Snow White and the Huntsman was his directorial debut, and he had hoped on building on that with a follow-up after some decent reviews."

Should have kept it in your pants, Rup.

Stewart is reportedly talking to Pattinson again after he escaped to Reese Witherspoon's Ojai, California ranch after the cheating scandal broke. They have to, since they'll be promoting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part II in the upcoming weeks. Summit Entertainment has made it clear that no cheating scandal will take away from promotion of the movie.

Will the couple make it, though? Don't bet on it.

"Rob just isn’t going to be able to get beyond the cheating — one time or not," a source told People.

This article is wishful thinking. No casting decisions have been made for Lie Down in Darkness. The subject matter is very dark, not for young adults, and Stewart may be in it . Not many people will want to see it. The BD2 premieres are ruined by the scandal. Kristen is no longer cute. She is trying too hard t9 break away from her image with questionable behavior and strange roles. She should take a vacation for a year to regain some sanity and normalcy.

I think it is great that the wife of Rupert Sanders is putting her foot down and saying that he can't direct Kristen Stewart again. I don't know what wife would do any different! He obviously can't be trusted, even with his own wife around, so there has to be better boundaries set up for the future!

I hope that Robert stays true to his instincts and doesn't give in to Kristen. I know it would be hard but this is such a huge public humiliation and I think he is so much better than this! She doesn't deserve any grace here.
