How Kristen Stewart Was Unfairly Blasted For Racism

 
THE STORY STARTED OUT MODESTLY ENOUGH. KRISTEN STEWART - AN ACTRESS, DESPITE HER MANY OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS, STILL BEST KNOWN FOR PLAYING A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH A VAMPIRE IN THE TWILIGHT FRANCHISE, WAS PROMOTING A NEW FILM AT THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL IN A VIDEO POSTED BY VARIETY
It was a story from and for the 21st century.

It was fuelled by the intersection of all of the pitfalls of modern journalism and, some might say, the foibles of modern society. Digital media outlets desperate for clicks, social media users eager to gossip, and, depending on one's view, the political correctness plaguing our national conversation - or the need for underrepresented groups to speak truth to power. It was a story that Johannes Gutenberg, when he invented moveable type in the 15th century, could scarcely have imagined.

The story started out modestly enough. Kristen Stewart - an actress, despite her many other achievements, still best known for playing a teenager in love with a vampire in the Twilight franchise, was promoting a new film at the Sundance Film Festival in a video posted by Variety.

"Instead of sitting around and complaining about that, do something," Stewart, 25, said in the video. "Go write something, go do something."

This was a call to action.

"And that's easy to say," she continued. "It's hard to get movies made. It's a huge luxury. Who gets to just make movies? But that subject is just so prevalently everywhere right now, and it's boring." (Also Read: Kristen Stewart: Don't Complaint, Do Something About Gender Inequality)

What exactly was Stewart talking about? She was urging revolution, which was certain - but implying that mere dialogue about the issue, whatever it was, was tedious. In a move that would prove fateful, a Web editor at Variety thought the actress was talking about racial and ethnic diversity in Hollywood and wrote text accompanying the video that said so.

Though that text is now lost, suddenly Stewart's comments looked very bad. Her alleged dismissal of concerns about diversity comes in the middle of a national debate about race in Hollywood and centred on the Academy Awards, which nominated only white actors in its acting categories.

Even Oscars host Chris Rock may be forced to weigh in on whether the awards, now in their ninth decade, really mean anything at all given that they have over-represented whites. (In 2005, he said they are "just a fashion show.") And Best Actor nominee Matt Damon is just one of many celebrities who, even before the #OscarsSoWhite debate, has been shredded for apparently discounting the need for racial and ethnic diversity on the set.

So Stewart, like Damon, Stacey Dash and many others before her, was summarily excoriated on social media.

"Everyone, stop discussing racism, you are boring Kristen Stewart," one comment read. Another: "Kristen Stewart has got nerve talking about the topic of diversity being boring. She shouldn't be calling anything boring w/ her blank face." Another: "Kristen Stewart thinks the struggles of people of colour in the industry are non-existent and she gets a variety of roles so of course, she is happy." Those who demanded Stewart's blood, though, unleashed the hounds too quickly. It turned out the actress was not talking about racial and ethnic diversity in the Variety video but gender equality - an important distinction an editor had missed. Indeed, Stewart has been vocal about this issue in the past, once memorably trading sexist interview questions such as "Who's your favourite designer?" with a male co-star to comedic effect.

Having dropped a cultural bomb on an innocent actress, Variety had to issue a mea culpa. Its new, excruciating headline: "Correction: Kristen Stewart Sundance Comments Weren't About Diversity." (Of course, Variety is not the first major media outlet to make a mistake. The Washington Post recently issued a correction regarding a fake tweet attributed to rancher Ammon Bundy.)

"Variety has amended the text accompanying Stewart's video to specify that her remarks referred to 'gender equality' rather than 'diversity,'" the magazine wrote. "This post has been updated to reflect that change."

Variety tried to explain what had gone wrong. After all, reporters and editors don't just fuss about with words on paper anymore. They post videos. They write text accompanying videos. And they write headlines about videos. At any point, something can go horribly wrong - and, in this case, they did.

"The incorrect text accompanying the video was quickly amended, corrections were issued on social media and a re-edited version of the video has been published to make clear what question she was answering," Variety wrote. "The error was the result of an edit to the web page in which the video was presented without seeing the specific question Stewart was answering, which pertained to a lack of opportunities for female actors and directors."

Now it was Variety's turn in the social media shredder.

"An entity that maintained oversight of its reporting would never have allowed this to happen," one critic wrote. "Inexcusable."

Litigation, it seemed, was in order.

"Kristen Stewart needs to sue Variety," another wrote. "All she said was to actually do something about gender inequality instead of just speaking."

Although Stewart was off the hook for racism, Variety's mistake, some said, showed the magazine was racist. It was hyping Stewart's comments - using them to spark interest in the story on "Black Twitter," the oft-invoked shorthand for the rich conversation about race ongoing on that social media platform, much of which is driven by African-American users.

"Variety used Kristen Stewart to outrage blacktwitter for page clicks & you fell for it like always," one comment read. "NEVER trust a headline. It's clickbait."

Meanwhile, the brouhaha didn't just show how trigger-happy some social media trolls are. Criticism of Stewart focused on her appearance - her "boring" or "blank" face, for example - was sexist, some said.

"So, Kristen Stewart was horribly misquoted," another comment read. "Still, people jumped at this opportunity to tweet that they don't like her face. #EverydaySexism."

Certainly, one Twitter user's decision to post a clip of Stewart getting punched in the face in Panic Room (2002) - a movie she made as a pre-teen, invoked the nasty spectacle of violence against women.

But wait. Sure, Stewart hadn't dismissed dialogue about racial and ethnic diversity in Hollywood. But she had dismissed dialogue about gender equality in Hollywood. Wasn't that just as bad?

"'That subject or the flagrant gender problem in Hollywood is probably less 'boring' to others attuned (to) its impact," Rachel Vorona Cote wrote at Jezebel. "But sure, less talk and more meaningful action - especially from those most empowered to make change - would be ideal."

An interesting point. Alas, having been taken in by Variety's original, inaccurate language about diversity, Jezebel also had to issue a correction - or, rather, a "note." The publication had been wrongly outraged. Now it was rightly outraged. Outrage about whatever, it seemed, was key - no correction required.

"Variety has amended the text accompanying Stewart's video to specify that her remarks referred to 'gender equality' rather than 'diversity,'" Jezebel wrote. "This post has been updated to reflect that change."

Lost in all this - Stewart's comments wrongly portrayed by Variety, the backlash against Stewart, the Variety correction, the backlash against Variety, and the various accusations of sexism, racism and journalistic hackery - was the movie Stewart was promoting, Certain Women from Kelly Reichardt, acclaimed director of Wendy and Lucy and Meek's Cutoff, among others.

Certain Women was good, Variety said.

"Kelly Reichardt's wonderful triptych of female character studies confirms her status as the quietest of great American filmmakers," the magazine wrote.

Golden Raspberry Awards: Fifty Shades of Grey Named Worst Film

 
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY TRIUMPHED ON SATURDAY AT THE GOLDEN RASPBERRY AWARDS BY WINNING WORST PICTURE, WORST SCREENPLAY, WORST ACTOR FOR JAMIE DORNAN, WORST ACTRESS FOR DAKOTA JOHNSON, AND WORST SCREEN COMBO FOR THE PAIR. FANTASTIC FOUR RAN FIFTY SHADES CLOSEST TO TOP THE ROLL OF DISHONOR

Erotic drama Fifty Shades of Grey triumphed Saturday at Hollywood's hall of shame, the annual Razzies anti-awards show.

The steamy romance - described as a "warped, disturbingly abusive adult fairy tale" by movie website The Film Stage - took the Golden Raspberry Award for joint worst picture alongside superhero flick Fantastic Four.

The big screen adaptation of EL James' sexually explicit novel also took home worst screenplay, worst actor for Jamie Dornan, worst actress for Dakota Johnson, and worst screen combo for the pair. (Also Read: In Fifty Shades of Grey Sequel, Jamie Dornan Puts on a Mask)

Fantastic Four, which ran Fifty Shades closest to top the roll of dishonor, also bagged worst director for Josh Trank and worst remake, rip-off or sequel.

The superhero flop was rated at nine percent on the Rotten Tomatoes movie ranking website, where it is described as "dull and downbeat," and a "woefully misguided," humorless adaption of the comic.

In the 36th annual Razzies, hosted at the Palace Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the worst supporting actress was won by Kaley Cuoco for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.

Eddie Redmayne - an Oscar nominee for best actor for the Danish Girl - was named worst supporting actor for his bizarre turn in Jupiter Ascending as Emperor Balem Abrasax.

The Razzies were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood's star-studded, back-slapping annual awards season, which climaxes on Sunday with the 88th Oscars.

"The $4.97 gold spray-painted Razzie Award is handed out to otherwise great talent who should know better than to associate their name with sub-par projects," the awards show says on its Twitter bio.

All but one of the Razzie categories are chosen by the 800 or so members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, who earn voting rights by paying a $40 membership fee, with a $25 annual renewal.

Nominees very rarely attend the Razzies. Sandra Bullock turned up to accept worst actress in 2010 for All About Steve, a day before winning Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Debut a New Type of Celebrity Apology

 
Celebrity apologies are endlessly fascinating, partly because they're generally so insincere, and also because they briefly bring egocentric stars down to earth. The world got a pretty special one on Monday.

After all, you can't get much more humble than Johnny Depp and his wife, Amber Heard, forced to mumble their way through a video to explain why you should never disrespect Australia's bio-security laws. The Hollywood couple got in big trouble last spring when Ms Heard was accused of sneaking their two Yorkshire terriers on a private jet into Australia, where Mr Depp, 52, was shooting the next Pirates of the Caribbean film.

That's a major breach of law in the country. As the Associated Press reports, "bringing pets into Australia involves applying for a permit and quarantine on arrival of at least 10 days to prevent the spread of diseases such as rabies." Ms Heard, the 29-year-old actress known for Magic Mike and The Playboy Club, pleaded guilty on Monday to providing a false immigration document for the dogs, Pistol and Boo. Ms Heard's lawyer says that the actress was jet-lagged and forgot to declare the animals. Ultimately, she was sentenced with a one-month good behaviour bond. When the incident occurred last year, Australian officials threatened to euthanize the dogs unless they were sent back to America.

Although the entire thing might seem absurd, it was actually fairly serious. Thus, the humble video from Mr Depp and Ms Heard, as they apologized for not going through the proper dog procedure. We have to say: After seeing a ton of lame celebrity apologies over the years, this one was gold. One reason for that was that it was on video, so you had to see the expressions on their faces, which were pained, to say the least.

"Australia is a wonderful island with a treasure trove of unique plants, animals and people," Ms Heard said. "Australia is free of many pets and diseases that are commonplace are the world. That is why Australia needs to have such strict bio-security laws."

"It has to be protected," Mr Depp said solemnly, looking like he would rather be anywhere else. (Also Read: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Apologise in 'Dog Smuggling' Case)

Anyway, we're going to put Vaguely Humiliating Public Video at the top of the list of celebrity apology types, which include:

1) The "Anyone Who Knows Me": In other words, anyone who knows me, knows I couldn't have done this (insert terrible thing here.) Examples: Macklemore dressing up as a Jewish stereotype, Sherri Shepherd for making what some perceived as "anti-gay" comments.

2) The "Taken Out of Context": A classic celebrity excuse when there's an uproar over their words. Examples: Kaley Cuoco when people were offended by her feminism comments; Matt Damon with his problematic explanation of diversity on "Project Greenlight."

3) The "I Really Do Love America!": Self-explanatory. Examples: Ariana Grande after her doughnut-licking incident, Emily Blunt after her remark about Donald Trump.

4) The "Sincere and Ready to Suffer the Consequences": This one can be rough, but necessary. See: Taylor Swift after she misunderstood Nicki Minaj's VMA comments, and the ensuing Twitter storm.

5) The "Sincere Until They're Not": See: anything from Kanye West.

'Welcome Home,' Pamela Anderson. The Baywatch Film is Now Even Better

 
Priyanka Chopra in a major role, The Rock as the new Mitch and a cameo by David Hasselhoff - could the Baywatch film get any more exciting? Yes, it appears it could and has - original cast member Pamela Anderson has signed on to appear in the big screen update of the iconic '90s TV show.

Dwayne Johnson, known to fans as The Rock, gave Pamela Anderson an Insta-welcome:

Ms Anderson, now 48, played CJ Parker from 1992 to 1997. Her position has been filled by actress Kelly Rohrbach in the work-in-progress film so Ms Anderson will presumably have a special role, like The Hoff.
