Kristen Stewart: It Was "Hard" Kissing Taylor Lautner in Eclipse

While Twilight fans may rejoice when Bella finally smooches her werewolf pal, Jacob, in Eclipse, actress Kristen Stewart admits those scenes were "hard" to shoot.
Kissing Taylor Lautner's Jacob "was so against everything that Bella's always been," Stewart told reporters at an Eclipse press conference Saturday in Los Angeles.
Still, the actress, 20, says she found it gratifying to film the much-anticipated "tent scene" -- in which a freezing Bella cozies up to Jacob to keep warm as her boyfriend Edward (Robert Pattinson) seethes with jealousy.

"Bella always wanted Jacob and Edward to level with each other finally and it's funny that it takes place while she's sleeping between them," Stewart says. "It was fun to shoot, but I wish it wasn't as hot. I was literally in a beanie and I was just sweating."
Stewart says she hasn't yet settled in to shooting love scenes with 18-year-old Lautner.

"Taylor [and I] have so much fun with this stuff because our intimate moments are so few and far between -- and weird," Stewart told reporters. "Me and Rob are always so serious because we have [a lot of] those scenes."
But when it came time to choose the better kisser, Stewart couldn't take sides.

"Dakota [Fanning]," the actress said, referring to her costar in the 2009 biopic, The Runaways. "I'm just going to have to say that because it's easier."
Eclipse hits theaters June 30.

I can't figure out how she couldn't kiss Taylor. Hes gourgeous! Well I can see because they're friends, but still.. hes amazaing.
I can't fathom, for the life of me, how any girl could find it difficult to kiss Taylor L. . . Period! He's so my latest Cougar-Crush! *purrrr*
Geez Kristen how hard can it be to kiss the hottest guy in the freakin world? Not very hard in my opinion or at least it wouldnt be hard for me lol. I LOVE YOU SOOOO FREAKIN MUCH TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!
Wow, it must really be TRUE that she's a lesbian, if she thought that it was tough to kiss that hunk of a guy! Hell, if he wants more practice, I'll gladly volunteer!
Who did this zombie sleep with to get the part of Bella? BORING!! I WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE HOOKING UP WITH JACOB!!!!!
"I don't know that it would make a great movie because there's not a lot of action" Oh dear, I do believe you need to start watching movies other than adventure flicks. I would start with a great film I saw not too long ago, "Vicki Christina Barcelona", followed by "Stranger Than Fiction," "Up in the Air" and other films that rely on depth of character, not fast-paced action, to tell the story.
and she smiles with edward all the time!
i can see where shes coming from, i would love to kiss either of them especially edward but she is comfortable with edward and its different to kiss taylor
Kristin stop lying; you were uncomfortable kissing Taylor because your boyfriend Rob was in the background. Then you realized how much fun it was to get a rise out of Rob and started enjoying the moment. P.S. I know there quite a few young girls that are into Rob, but as a woman he just doesn't do it for me.
Every time I see Kristen with Robert she doesn't smile. The first time I saw her smile is with Taylor and that smile is big not saying that she likes him but wonder why she doesn't smile when she's walking next to a guy I know other girls would love to be in her place, being Robert's girlfriend. I know she likes her love life private but atleast show that your happy being Robert's girl.
@ RL gimme a break dummy. you cant have everything your way .. THe twilight saga is waay better!! to say that its becuz hes black or whatever is just fighting ignorance with more ignorance. so shut your trap!
I'm really disappointe in you us and the other white magazines for not showing any love the jaden smith in karate kid which was the #1 movie this weekend...You will post any other #1 move especailly since it did so well..but why not his movie..why us I wonder why..i would hate to say it was because of his race...so please rething and show him some love..i was extremly proud of him and hey it is a top story whether you acknowledge him or not!!!!
Did I miss in the book where they kiss? I don't remember that
Stephanie Myer's new book The Host is ridiculously good too. I don't know that it would make a great movie because there's not a lot of action but it's a great book.
