Kristen Stewarts non=stripping role as a stripper in Welcome to the Riley's

I am in Louisiana for NOFF which is being opened by WTTR. Here is a recent article on Welcome to the Riley's where Kristen Stewart talks about not stripping in her role as a stripper.


E Online Writes:


"I didn't shoot a stripping scene. I refused to do it."


—Welcome to the Rileys director Jake Scott at a recent screening of his indie flick, when we asked him what he thought about the tabloids focusing on Kristen Stewart's striptease (or lack there of).


The guy was good-natured enough to laugh off the goss, but is adamant that the whole movie would have been different if he'd had K.Stew hit the pole.


That's not to say Kristen didn't take her role as a stripper very seriously:


"[Kristen] didn't want to hide," he 'fessed, after explaining the complexity of creating her character, Alison, saying that she had to be sexy and adult, but also young and sleazy.


"She's a very young, very sensitive woman, and the strippers she met while preparing for the role were—she describes them as—'open wounds,'" Jake continued. "And she wanted to represent them in the film."


As for getting "sleazy" for the film, the whole crew seems mucho-impressed with how far the Hollywood hottie was willing to go to ditch her naturally fab looks.


"She didn't want to shy away from that," costume designer Kim Bowen boasted about K.'s less-than-gorge looks in the film.
