Translated interview.
In the new interview with "Oggi"(Italia) she talks about how she started acting and about SWATH at the end, a question about Breaking Dawn Part 2..
"....I am a real vampire and I've tried to interpret at the best" -
Even better than Robert Pattinson?
"But sure. The challenge was precisely this. I'm sure that will put a strain on our relationship."(laughs)

Nicolas Ghesquiere talks Kristen and Florabotanica

MoodieReport Coty Prestige has unveiled the new feminine fragrance from the house of Balenciaga. Florabotanica, which is fronted by actress Kristen Stewart, will be available in travel retail worldwide from October.
The edp scent is said to combine the fantastical and ultra-contemporary aspects of the Balenciaga brand. “There is a real duality in Balenciaga, between classicism and experimentation,” noted Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière. “For this new fragrance, I wanted to explore this paradox between the pure and the enigmatic further. A few years ago, I designed this ‘floral collection’. The dresses were covered with flowers, but these flowers were neither charming nor romantic. They structured the whole silhouette. I wanted the flowers in this perfume to express the same idea.”
(...) The fragrance face is actress Kristen Stewart, best known for her role in the blockbuster Twilight saga. Balanciaga chose her for her tetchy youthfulness and rebellious femininity.
“Kristen Stewart has a real personality,” noted Ghesquière. “She captivated me when we met a few years ago. I had not forgotten her. She is the perfect embodiment of a certain idea of Balenciaga: that beauty that is both pure and uncontrollable. We met again for Florabotanica. She is totally this graceful and mysterious figure that symbolises this strange botanical garden.”
The fragrance flacon features graphic black and white stripes, as favoured by Cristóbal Balenciaga. An oversized tube plunges into the middle of the bottle in the style of a laboratory test tube. Read in full

UPDATED: Deadline for comments on Orvana Parts 301, 303 permit is July 8
To contact us Click HERE
MARQUETTE -- The Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Water Resources Division is receiving comments on the application by Orvana Resources US Corporation for a permit under Part 301 Inland Lakes and Streams and Part 303 Wetland Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, in order to dredge and fill wetlands and streams for the purpose of constructing their proposed Copperwood mine for copper and silver -- including an access road, mine entrance, mill, tailings basin (tailings to be disposed on site and above ground) and related structures.
The project is located northwest of Camp 7 Grade and County Road 519 near Wakefield, Michigan, not far from the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.
A public hearing on the permit was held on June 28, 2012.* The deadline for comments is next Sunday, July 8, 2012. Keweenaw Now, in error (now corrected), previously posted the deadline as coinciding with the June 28 air permit deadline; but we learned at the hearing that the deadline for the Part 301 Inland Lakes and Streams and Part 303 Wetland Protection permit is actually ten days after that hearing.
Since July 8 falls on a Sunday, "As long as the remarks are postmarked or emailed on or before July 8, they will be considered timely," Steve Casey, MDEQ Water Resources Division district supervisor of the Upper Peninsula District Office, told Keweenaw Now today.
A description of the impacts on streams and more than 58 acres of wetland is given in the Notice of Public Hearing on the DEQ Web site.

MDEQ hearing on Orvana Copperwood air, water quality permits: Part 1, Questions
To contact us Click HERE
By Michele Bourdieu
James Lorenson, Gogebic Community College president, welcomes Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) staff and thanks them for choosing to hold the June 28, 2012, public hearing on air and water quality permits for the proposed Orvana Copperwood mining project in the area of the project to allow local residents to participate in the hearing. MDEQ officials pictured here at the table are, from right, Steve Casey, MDEQ Water Resources Division district supervisor of the Upper Peninsula District Office; James Caron, Water Resources Division decision maker for the Part 301 and 303 Inland Lakes and Streams and Wetland Protection permits; Mike Bitondo, decision maker for the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) discharge permit; and Andrew Drury, Air Quality Division permit engineer for the Orvana application.

IRONWOOD -- On June 28, 2012, a large crowd of local residents filled the gymnasium at Gogebic Community College in Ironwood, Mich., for a public hearing concerning impacts to air quality, inland lakes and streams and wetlands by the proposed Orvana Resources Copperwood mining project -- a potential underground mine for copper and silver to be located just a few miles from Lake Superior near the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.
This is the first in a series of two articles on the June 28 hearing. It includes video clips with some of the questions asked and responses given by the MDEQ staff during the first part of the hearing. The second article will concern the formal hearing with verbal comments that were presented by members of the audience.
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality officials from the Air Quality Division and the Water Resources Division answered questions from the public during the first half hour of the meeting -- an informational question-answer session. Informational handouts were provided and staff were available to answer individual questions from members of the audience. This part of the hearing was not officially recorded by the MDEQ. During the formal hearing that followed, verbal and written comments were recorded for consideration by decision makers, but questions were not answered in the hearing room. MDEQ staff could be requested to answer questions outside the hearing room.
During the question-answer session, several questions concerned Orvana's plans for a Tailings Disposal Facility to be located less than two miles from Lake Superior.
Questions: Why can't Orvana consider backfilling mine with tailings?
Local resident Steve Garske asks why Orvana is not being required to backfill the tailings from the mine. Joe Maki -- MDEQ geologist for the Office of Oil, Gas, and Minerals -- who approved the Part 632 mining permit for Orvana's Copperwood project, offers some answers. (Video clips by Keweenaw Now)
Philomena Kebec, attorney for the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, asks questions about backfilling the tailings and about job creation to benefit the community.
Steve Garske asks for further clarification on the Tailings Disposal Facility (TDF). Another resident, not identified, asks about the acidity of the runoff from the tailings.
According to Orvana's Alternatives Analysis in their permit application, "The current mine plan contemplates a 13-year mine life mining a total of +30.3 M ton of ore. Essentially 25 percent of the total reserve tons will be mined during the first four years of mine development and production before any opportunity would exist to place tailings underground. ... As a result of the mine plan, there will be no isolated areas to deposit tailings until the deepest portions of the mine are completely mined with no need for access into these areas." (See p. 12, 5.1 of the Alternatives Analysis for Orvana's explanation of why they do not consider underground tailings disposal a viable alternative.) *
Of the five alternatives considered for the Tailings Disposal Facility (TDF), Orvana preferred the fifth one listed in their Alternatives Analysis, stating the following:
"Alternative 5 was located to avoid impacts to Namebinag Creek and the East Branch Gipsy Creek. The ground at this location is relatively flat, thereby reducing the height of the required downstream dike. In addition, Alternative 5 is more than 1.5 miles at the closest point from Lake Superior. For the most part, the TDF and mill site will not be visible from the Lake of the Clouds overlook at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park due to the low profile of the buildings and the tree cover. A small clearing, however, may be visible from this overlook, and the tops of the TDF dikes may be visible above the tops of trees, although somewhat less visible than Alternative 4 due to a dike height difference of approximately 24 feet. Because the dikes will be vegetated, however, there should be minimal impact to the view shed." (See pp. 20-22, 5.5, for more description of this alternative.) *
Keweenaw Now spoke with Jim Bradley, president of the Friends of the Porkies, who was not able to attend the hearing. Friends of the Porkies is a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of all users of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. While the group has not taken a position on the mine, they announced the June 28 hearing on their Web site.
"We're in the process of trying to keep our members informed about issues that affect the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park," Bradley said.
More questions: Water quality, threatened species, wetland impacts, more ...
Local resident Rich Sloat asks about baseline water quality testing for the Orvana project. Steve Casey refers his question to Mike Bitondo (NPDES discharge permit) and Joe Maki (groundwater and monitoring).
Members of the audience ask questions about a threatened species of orchid located on the mine site, about criteria used by the MDEQ in approving Orvana's preferred alternative for the tailings, and about further comment periods for the project. Jim Caron explains that the Water Resources Division has not yet made a decision or written a permit for the Part 301 and Part 303 application but is in the process of collecting information and comments to assist them in their decision.
According to the Public Notice on stream and wetland impacts of the Orvana project, the access road will cross three different creeks, culverts will be replaced or installed at 14 locations during road construction, two stormwater detention basins totaling more than 13 acres will be constructed south of the TDF and a third detention basin of .31 acres will be constructed near the mill and will discharge into the West Branch of Namebinag Creek. A sewage lagoon outlet pipe will discharge adjacent to this same creek.

Construction of the TDF will result in the loss of 13,672 linear feet of stream. Nearly 60 acres of wetlands will be impacted by dredging and fill for the project. Wetland mitigation is proposed to be on site. **
According to MDEQ geologist Joe Maki, the type of ore in this mine does not cause acid mine drainage -- a concern expressed in some of the questions at the hearing.
Michigan Tech University Professor Stanley Vitton, right, civil engineer, chats with Steve Casey, MDEQ Water Resources Division Upper Peninsula District supervisor, after the question-answer session. Vitton said he helped Orvana analyze the rock and the soil for the Copperwood project.
Stanley Vitton, Michigan Tech professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, told Keweenaw Now this mine should have "no problem with acid mine drainage because the ore is chalcocite."
While the hearing date, June 28, was also the final day for comments on the Part 55 Air Quality permit for the mining project, comments on the Part 301 Inland Lakes and Streams and Part 303 Wetland Protection permit are still being accepted until the deadline of July 8.

James Lorenson, Gogebic Community College president, welcomes Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) staff and thanks them for choosing to hold the June 28, 2012, public hearing on air and water quality permits for the proposed Orvana Copperwood mining project in the area of the project to allow local residents to participate in the hearing. MDEQ officials pictured here at the table are, from right, Steve Casey, MDEQ Water Resources Division district supervisor of the Upper Peninsula District Office; James Caron, Water Resources Division decision maker for the Part 301 and 303 Inland Lakes and Streams and Wetland Protection permits; Mike Bitondo, decision maker for the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) discharge permit; and Andrew Drury, Air Quality Division permit engineer for the Orvana application. (Photos by Keweenaw Now)IRONWOOD -- On June 28, 2012, a large crowd of local residents filled the gymnasium at Gogebic Community College in Ironwood, Mich., for a public hearing concerning impacts to air quality, inland lakes and streams and wetlands by the proposed Orvana Resources Copperwood mining project -- a potential underground mine for copper and silver to be located just a few miles from Lake Superior near the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park.
This is the first in a series of two articles on the June 28 hearing. It includes video clips with some of the questions asked and responses given by the MDEQ staff during the first part of the hearing. The second article will concern the formal hearing with verbal comments that were presented by members of the audience.
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality officials from the Air Quality Division and the Water Resources Division answered questions from the public during the first half hour of the meeting -- an informational question-answer session. Informational handouts were provided and staff were available to answer individual questions from members of the audience. This part of the hearing was not officially recorded by the MDEQ. During the formal hearing that followed, verbal and written comments were recorded for consideration by decision makers, but questions were not answered in the hearing room. MDEQ staff could be requested to answer questions outside the hearing room.
During the question-answer session, several questions concerned Orvana's plans for a Tailings Disposal Facility to be located less than two miles from Lake Superior.
Questions: Why can't Orvana consider backfilling mine with tailings?
Local resident Steve Garske asks why Orvana is not being required to backfill the tailings from the mine. Joe Maki -- MDEQ geologist for the Office of Oil, Gas, and Minerals -- who approved the Part 632 mining permit for Orvana's Copperwood project, offers some answers. (Video clips by Keweenaw Now)
Philomena Kebec, attorney for the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, asks questions about backfilling the tailings and about job creation to benefit the community.
Steve Garske asks for further clarification on the Tailings Disposal Facility (TDF). Another resident, not identified, asks about the acidity of the runoff from the tailings.
According to Orvana's Alternatives Analysis in their permit application, "The current mine plan contemplates a 13-year mine life mining a total of +30.3 M ton of ore. Essentially 25 percent of the total reserve tons will be mined during the first four years of mine development and production before any opportunity would exist to place tailings underground. ... As a result of the mine plan, there will be no isolated areas to deposit tailings until the deepest portions of the mine are completely mined with no need for access into these areas." (See p. 12, 5.1 of the Alternatives Analysis for Orvana's explanation of why they do not consider underground tailings disposal a viable alternative.) *
Of the five alternatives considered for the Tailings Disposal Facility (TDF), Orvana preferred the fifth one listed in their Alternatives Analysis, stating the following:
"Alternative 5 was located to avoid impacts to Namebinag Creek and the East Branch Gipsy Creek. The ground at this location is relatively flat, thereby reducing the height of the required downstream dike. In addition, Alternative 5 is more than 1.5 miles at the closest point from Lake Superior. For the most part, the TDF and mill site will not be visible from the Lake of the Clouds overlook at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park due to the low profile of the buildings and the tree cover. A small clearing, however, may be visible from this overlook, and the tops of the TDF dikes may be visible above the tops of trees, although somewhat less visible than Alternative 4 due to a dike height difference of approximately 24 feet. Because the dikes will be vegetated, however, there should be minimal impact to the view shed." (See pp. 20-22, 5.5, for more description of this alternative.) *
Keweenaw Now spoke with Jim Bradley, president of the Friends of the Porkies, who was not able to attend the hearing. Friends of the Porkies is a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of all users of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. While the group has not taken a position on the mine, they announced the June 28 hearing on their Web site.
"We're in the process of trying to keep our members informed about issues that affect the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park," Bradley said.
More questions: Water quality, threatened species, wetland impacts, more ...
Local resident Rich Sloat asks about baseline water quality testing for the Orvana project. Steve Casey refers his question to Mike Bitondo (NPDES discharge permit) and Joe Maki (groundwater and monitoring).
Members of the audience ask questions about a threatened species of orchid located on the mine site, about criteria used by the MDEQ in approving Orvana's preferred alternative for the tailings, and about further comment periods for the project. Jim Caron explains that the Water Resources Division has not yet made a decision or written a permit for the Part 301 and Part 303 application but is in the process of collecting information and comments to assist them in their decision.
According to the Public Notice on stream and wetland impacts of the Orvana project, the access road will cross three different creeks, culverts will be replaced or installed at 14 locations during road construction, two stormwater detention basins totaling more than 13 acres will be constructed south of the TDF and a third detention basin of .31 acres will be constructed near the mill and will discharge into the West Branch of Namebinag Creek. A sewage lagoon outlet pipe will discharge adjacent to this same creek.
This photo shows a portion of Namebinag Creek, which will receive wastewater discharges from the Copperwood project. (Photo © and courtesy John Leddy)Construction of the TDF will result in the loss of 13,672 linear feet of stream. Nearly 60 acres of wetlands will be impacted by dredging and fill for the project. Wetland mitigation is proposed to be on site. **
According to MDEQ geologist Joe Maki, the type of ore in this mine does not cause acid mine drainage -- a concern expressed in some of the questions at the hearing.
Michigan Tech University Professor Stanley Vitton, right, civil engineer, chats with Steve Casey, MDEQ Water Resources Division Upper Peninsula District supervisor, after the question-answer session. Vitton said he helped Orvana analyze the rock and the soil for the Copperwood project.Stanley Vitton, Michigan Tech professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, told Keweenaw Now this mine should have "no problem with acid mine drainage because the ore is chalcocite."
While the hearing date, June 28, was also the final day for comments on the Part 55 Air Quality permit for the mining project, comments on the Part 301 Inland Lakes and Streams and Part 303 Wetland Protection permit are still being accepted until the deadline of July 8. Since July 8 is a Sunday, Steve Casey said comments postmarked or emailed on or before July 8 will be considered.
Comments on the Parts 301 and 303 permit can be emailed directly to James Caron, the decision maker, at CARONJ@michigan.gov or sent by mail to James Caron, Department of Environmental Quality Crystal Falls Office, 1420 US2, Crystal Falls, MI 49920 or phone 906-875-2071.

HudBay Minerals drops Menominee River Back Forty gold mine project
To contact us Click HERE
Press release from Wisconsin Resources Protection Council
July 3, 2012
LA CROSSE, WIS. -- HudBay Minerals has severed its business ties with Aquila Resources at the proposed Back Forty gold mine in Menominee County, Michigan. The metallic sulfide mine is planned to be built almost directly under the Menominee River in the Upper Peninsula, a stone’s throw from Wisconsin’s Marinette County.
"This threatens both Wisconsin and Michigan waters," said Al Gedicks, executive secretary of the Wisconsin Resources Protection Council. "HudBay’s proposed mine could severely pollute the Menominee River, affecting citizens downstream in Marinette County, Wisconsin."
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources considered the HudBay mine a Wisconsin issue.
The Back Forty project was one of several gold prospects under development by Aquila Resources, a Canadian company that is exploring for gold at several sites in Wisconsin, including the "Reef" deposit near Wausau and the Lynne site in Oneida County.
A groundswell of citizen opposition has delayed a decision to allow Aquila Resources and two other mining companies from leasing the Lynne deposit.
"A sulfide mine at Lynne poses a clear conflict with our goals of protecting our water resources," said Karl Fate, an Oneida County concerned citizen. "Approximately half of the deposit footprint is covered by wetlands that extend in every direction but the south," said Fate.
The Willow Flowage, just downstream from the proposed mine, is designated as an "Outstanding Resource Water" by the state.
Citizen concerns about the mine’s potential damage to wetlands and the Willow Flowage convinced Noranda Minerals of Canada to abandon the project in 1993.
Both Michigan and Wisconsin opponents of metallic sulfide mining welcome HudBay’s announcement but note the need for continued citizen vigilance to guarantee that common sense conservation prevails.
"We will continue to work with other citizen and tribal groups to protect our water resources from poorly-conceived mining projects in Wisconsin and throughout the upper Great Lakes region," said Al Gedicks.

EonLine and GossipCop on the Latest RK Rumor
To contact us Click HERE
Making this post to satisfy all you guys who are asking/wanting to discuss this new/old rumor. After a dozen or so email inquiries on the subject and a few more on the comments section, I'm giving in...okay, alright, you can discuss here. True or not, here's hoping we're not jinx-ing whatever, oh my lol
GossipCop This week, In Touch reported that Kristen Stewart “went shopping at Neil Lane in West Hollywood with a friend in early June and stunned eyewitnesses when she headed straight for the engagement rings!” An alleged “excited onlooker” told the tabloid, “She was trying on gold rings with various colored diamonds.” The story obviously sparked a fresh round of speculation that Stewart and Robert Pattinson have imminent engagement plans. But it turns out the same clueless magazine that wrongly claimed in 2011 the couple would stage a “secret wedding in England” has struck out yet again.
A source close to Stewart tells Gossip Cop the Neil Lane rumor is not true — the actress did not go into the jeweler’s store. While she and Pattinson may very well get engaged in the future, the latest In Touch-fueled report of diamond bling rings false.
EOnLine Let the Robsten rumor mill run rampant! It's been four years strong for our beloved Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and ever since that beautiful Breaking Dawn wedding, Twi-hards everywhere have been dying for Rob to put a ring on it.
And the latest K.Stew sighting might confirm just that, as Kris was reportedly spotted trying on engagement sparklers in West Hollywood. So, what's the real deal behind the engagement speculation?! As with all things Robsten, the couple's playing it coy. Kristen was reportedly seen checking out engagement rings at a Neil Lane jewelry store in West Hollywood in early June, according to In Touch.
But as standard (and false) as this Robsten rumor may sound, there just might be more to it. Claude Morady Estate Jewelry in Los Angeles posted a link to the engagement story on their Facebook page along with the caption "We can neither confirm nor deny first hand knowledge of this rumor. :)"
When pressed for further clarification, the jewelry store told E! News, "We do not comment on clients or customers who come into our store and we protect their privacy." Calls to Kristen's rep have not yet been returned. The Claude Morady website boasts a slew of vintage sparklers, and whether or not Rob popped the question, we just know the budding fashionista would look fab with a ring on that finger.

Wiwo/WirtschaftsWoche:Thanks to the "Twilight" movies you're one of the big earners in the movie industry.
Pattinson: There you're mistaken. This is greatly exaggerated.
But you have sufficient available financial resources to invest. What principles do you follow?
I do not have any, because I'm not very good at spending money or investing. I have simply no idea. Okay, I've spent money on a house, but I hardly use it because I travel so much.
Real estate is still a reasonable investment.
Yes, but I don't think so. The whole financial world makes no sense to me. Only then when everything goes wrong. Because their categories are absolutely absurd, it's based only on illusions. Why should Facebook suddenly be worth over $100 billion?
Appropriately,you're now playing an finance genius in your new movie "Cosmopolis" . Were you aware of the relevance of this story?
Everyone who sees the film, says that it deals with the fall of capitalism. But when we shot it, nobody thought of that. For us, the movie was about the absurdity of power in general. The protagonist didn't necessarily have to be a financial shark. But appropriately enough the "Occupy Wall Street" movement started just at that time. And the movie scenes that show the insurgents look like a reflection of the events.
Would you tried to join the Occupy movement since you already don't have a great opinion of the financial world?
Absolutely. However, the people would think me hypocritical if I did that. Although I agree with many of the principles of this movement. Ever since working on this movie, I became even more sensitive to it, more aware.
It is so ridiculous that people who want nothing more than lead a normal life, have to work for minimal wage to do so, while a minority has so much money available, that they lost touch with it. For them it has become pure gambling. And the law has no meaning anymore.
Then I ask myself: Why do I vote at all anymore? The President has no say. It's just typical that my character in the film has absolutely no idea who the President is. You become so successful that every aspect of life is only an abstraction. Even the success as such means nothing to you anymore.
Is this true for you?
I am well aware that I had luck with the "Twilight" movies. I've literally fallen into a made nest. They say you have to earn your luck. For me it is the opposite. I will work every single day for the next ten years to justify this.
So in the real life, you don't drive in limousins where you don't notice what is going on around you - like your character in "Cosmopolis"?
Not really. But even if I did that, then it was necessary, because me and my "Twilight" colleagues were chased by fans. One time the driver accidentally turned into a parking garage - and a whole lot of people came after us. It was like "Jurassic Park".
I'm not at all shielded from reality. And the people around me contradict me constantly. So much, that sometimes it really gets on my nerves (Laughs).

GossipCop "Forbes has released its annual list of the highest paid actors. The Forbes rankings are based on the 12-month earnings estimates, so the Top 10 (11, actually) is not engraved in stone."
Rob and Taylor tied for the last spot.
Forbes Highest Paid Actors
Robert Pattinson $26.5 million
Pattinson has been diligently pursuing work outside of Twilight but so far, he hasn’t had any successes. Remember Me, in 2010 failed to connect with an audience. Last year’s Water for Elephants turned a nice profit because it was made on such a low budget but it was hardly a blockbuster. With Twilight ending, Pattinson will have more chances to prove himself outside of the franchise.
Taylor Lautner $26.5 million
While Lautner and his Twilight costar Robert Pattinson earned the same amount of money last year, only Lautner made our Celebrity 100. That’s because thanks to the movie Abduction, he had more publicity. This fall’s Breaking Dawn — Part 2 will be the final Twilight movie. After that, Lautner will have to prove that he’s more than just Jacob.
And here's the full list via Celebuzz
1. Tom Cruise, $75 million 2. Leonardo DiCaprio, $37 million 3. Adam Sandler, $37 million 4. Dwayne Johnson, $36 million 5. Ben Stiller, $33 million 6. Sacha Baron Cohen, $30 million 7. Johnny Depp , $30 million 8. Will Smith , $30 million 9. Mark Wahlberg, $27 million 10. Taylor Lautner, $26.5 million 11. Robert Pattinson, $26.5 million
