![Kristen Stewart [Late Show with David Letterman, 11.20.08]: Now that Kristen Stewart’s I Can’t Believe You Just Asked Me That Question I’m Going to Touch My Hair Now Twilight condescend-a-palooza press tour is nearing its end, an assessment is necessary. Make no mistake: Kristen is a brat. She’s not as smart as she thinks she is but, weirdly, she kinda knows this—in fact, you can see her come to terms with her own ignorance during some of her recent TV stops. To watch a borderline fool squint with suffer-no-fools resentment is awkward yet captivating, it turns out. Kristen always hated N’Sync. You can tell. She’s like The Dakota Fanning Show all grown up and with a cool leather jacket. Somehow, she didn’t realize the Hot Topic X Excavated Housewife X OMG New Bonus Jonas Pix! nature of Twilight’s fanbase until she started doing press for the film. Her loss; our gain. Her appearance on The Today Show was a magnificent display of self-loathing gone wild—talking to her co-star like an extra and ripping YouTube commenters all withing a five minute span. The dumber the audience, the better (worse?) she comes across. So her Access Hollywood chat may be her most convincing performance to date (I still haven’t seen Twilight). When she responds to a “you’re so beautiful!” with a “so are you” the subtext is screaming: “I am more beautiful than you so quit the horseshit.” And the Acting 101 lesson at the 1:15 mark nearly got Ms. Hollywood to flash nails, I swear. (Also worth noting: Kristen bitching out TMZ’s C-team while her boyfriend pretends to be famous.) But she’s not supposed to be smarter than Letterman, so her Late Show sit was destined to be an intense failure. After answering the same questions for weeks, Letterman asked her the same questions—but he was able to twist them ever so slightly, ruining her already-way-stilted rhythm. Cringe after cringe. “Oh, wow, she just went for the ‘I’m so boring’ … on Letterman. Wow.” Ugly stuff that no amount of hair tossing could prettify (she’ll try, though). They better work the guest spots into her Twilight 2 contract, because she’s about to vomit at the thought of a couch at this point. D](http://24.media.tumblr.com/L8H9zWHTigyj3b0u2dNXTz78o1_500.jpg)
