OPEN PASSPORT: Kristen Stewart

She's the teenage misfit with the hunky vampire boyfriend that Robert Pattinson fans love to hate but Kristen Stewart, star of The Twilight Saga films, is the antithesis of the 'celebrity poppette'.

She has never officially confirmed that she is dating co-star Robert Pattinson, who plays the vampire Edward Cullen to her Bella Swann, in the hugely successful Twilight saga and refuses to feed the gossip columns, preferring instead to focus on her work. However, it's fair to say that Kristen spends an awful lot of time with the movie hunk off-set as well as on.

In fact, while filming the latest instalment in the series, Eclipse, in Vancouver, the pair were frequently spotted out and about in bars and restaurants together including the trendy Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar on Mainland Street in the city's Yaletown district. Kristen even celebrated her 19th birthday in Vancouver with Robert, heading to the cool, yet unpretentious hangout Chill Winston in the historic Gastown neighbourhood.

...despite her superstar status; [she says], "I do fairly normal things ... To be honest, I really do nothing noteworthy whatsoever," she sure likes to hang out in debonair style.

But Kristen and Robert's joint socialising isn't confined to filming on location. Although Kristen says that, despite her superstar status, she does nothing out of the ordinary, "I do fairly normal things. I have my family and my friends and my pets all that normal stuff. To be honest, I really do nothing noteworthy whatsoever," she sure likes to hang out in debonair style.

In LA, Kristen drops in at upmarket spots like Cecconi's in West Hollywood, as well as hotels like the luxury L'Ermitage in Beverley Hills and plush but low-key boutique hotel The Charlie, a destination favoured by a new breed of young Hollywood stars.

Of course, if you're a rising star, you've just got to have a party spot in New York City. Kristen's choice? Contemporary yet sophisticated Japanese eatery Megu.
