These are even more photos from WonderCon! Not only did Charlize Theron get to sit next to (and flirt with) Michael Fassbender for Prometheus, she also promoted Snow White & the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart. Last year, Kristen and Charlize were sent out to do some early SWATH promotion at Comic-Con, and Kristen was criticized by some major outlets for her “affected emo shtick” – like, she couldn’t even sit in a chair normally, and she has all of those nervous tics and such. I’m happy to say that in these photos, K-Stew’s nervousness (or her “affected emo shtick”) has gotten much, much better. She sitting in a chair normally! She doesn’t look like she’s about to cry from the sheer ANGST of answering questions. Good for her. I wonder if she finally invested in a public-speaking coach? Also: Kristen is wearing a shirt belonging to Sparkles. For realz!

During the panel discussion (which didn’t seem to involve Chris Hemsworth), Kristen discussed her terror at all of the stunt work she had to do, and Charlize talked about her baby a little bit:

She is known to her legion of Twilight fans as the sweet-natured teenager Bella Swan. But Kristen Stewart has revealed she prefers playing darker characters, and likes to use swear words, as she promoted her forthcoming movie Snow White and the Huntsmen in California today.

The actress used a particularly hard-hitting word to explain the character trait that is driving her career choices. The 21-year-old actress said: ‘It’s because I’m a bitch.’

Her comment was the highlight of a rather fruity question and answer session about the film at the WonderCon convention in Anaheim. But she also said she was excited about the film’s more mature characterisation of the familiar fairy tale favourite, saying: ‘Everything I wanted Snow White to be is there and that’s really rare. And the Los Angeles born star said she had to put herself through the mill to play the aggressive militaristic imagining of Snow White.

She said: ‘I hurt myself a lot. I got to jump off cliffs and ride horses. And that terrified me. I didn’t like that.’

Kristen’s co-star Charlize Theron, 36, was also in foulmouthed form as they tried to live up to the movie’s more adult demographic.

Explaining why she wanted to play the Evil Queen, she said: ‘Everyone has an idea of her. And there’s something nice about f***ing with that idea.’

When told that she plays “evil” really well, Charlize replied: “That’s because I’m a bitch….Picasso had his blue period, and this is my bitch period.”

It was a big week for Charlize, for as well as attending WonderCon, she also revealed she had adopted a baby boy called Jackson, who is now four-months-old. The South African stunner told Ryan Searest that ‘everyone has been so lovely’, ‘nice’ and ‘amazing,’ on his radio show last week.

Yes, Charlize is in a “bitch period”. It’s called “her career”. She’s good at playing bitches – there’s no shame in that. Although I do think she might be actively trying to shake up her (bitchy) image a bit with her new baby, Jackson. Charlize also called into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show last week to talk about the baby – you can read some of it here. She’s learning about swaddling.

Also – from everything I’ve seen, Charlize and Kristen are really nice to each other. They consistently say nice things about each other in the press, and they seemed to work well together. So even though Charlize looks kind of “over it” in these photos, I don’t think that has anything to do with Kristen.
