The famous PopSugar 100 has been released for 2012, and this year Kristen Stewart made the list all the way up at #3, while Robert Pattinson came in close behind at #5. Read on below for more:

3. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart hasn’t slowed down. Her Summer in 2011 was all about training for her fairy-tale role in Snow White and the Huntsman and talking up Breaking Dawn Part 1 with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner at Comic-Con. Kristen’s many projects put her in the spotlight over the next few months with covers on W magazine, GQ, and Glamour. In the Fall, Kristen juggled promotions for the Twilight installment, which came to a head at her Hollywood handprint ceremony. Breaking Dawn Part 1 finally hit the big screen with huge success, helping Kristen wrap up an awesome year.

The fun didn’t stop for the star, though, as she traveled to Paris in the New Year to shoot a Vanity Fair spread with Karl Lagerfeld. Kristen kept up the overseas excitement with a visit to Fashion Week, where she checked out the Balenciaga show and the new Louis Vuitton exhibit. In March, Kristen was on the go with Charlize Theron for SWATH before meeting up with Rob at Coachella in April. Her major red carpet moment came when she hit the Met Gala in Balenciaga, a brand she’s representing. Her gorgeous appearances continued at Cannes with her On the Road cast. In June, SWATH rocked the box office, rounding out an awesome year for Kristen.

5. Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson was busy on the Toronto set of Cosmopolis for much of last Summer, though he did break to do Twilight press at Comic-Con and the Teen Choice Awards. In the Fall, Rob traveled between Canada, LA, and London, where he visited girlfriend Kristen Stewart on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman. Rob hit the road with Ashley Greene to promote Breaking Dawn Part 1 and was honored with a Hollywood handprint ceremony before the film’s big premiere and November release.

Rob rang in 2012 in LA, where he made his first public appearance of the year at the People’s Choice Awards. Next, he was on to red carpet stops for Bel Ami before landing back on the West Coast to celebrate the Oscars with Kristen Stewart. In March, the couple spent a romantic weekend in Paris before Rob showed off his shirtless body while surfing in Malibu at the beginning of April. In May, Rob celebrated his 26th birthday and stepped out on the red carpet at Cannes for Cosmopolis.

This week Forbes has posted their 2012 list for the “Highest-Paid Actresses” and for the first time ever, Kristen Stewart is at #1! Check out more below:

At this point, could anyone else play Bella Swan in Twilight? Probably not; if the studio tried to switch in another actress, fans would revolt. So for the last two Twilight films, Stewart has been able to demand an estimated $12.5 million per film, plus a share of the profits.

Her two co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, get paid the same, but Stewart earned more than them this year because of Snow White and the Huntsman. Stewart’s earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 totaled $34.5 million, helping her rank 43rd on our Celebrity 100 list. (The list measures a combination of money and fame.)

At 22, Stewart is the youngest woman on our list by 16 years. The next youngest is Kristen Wiig who is 38. Last year Stewart ranked 5th on our list of the Highest-Paid Actresses tied with Julia Roberts. This year Roberts ranked 6th.

In a new interview with Music.com in Australia, Kristen Stewart opens up about her latest role in Snow White and The Huntsman before getting into her characters in both Twilight and On the Road. Kristen goes on to explain how her passion for her characters and their stories keeps her motivated. Read more below:

“I’ve always felt a self-inflicted pressure,” says Stewart when asked if she feels an added sense of responsibility when attached to such a project. “And as soon as you raise your hand and say ‘Yes, I will participate’, you’re putting yourself in a position to either satisfy or let down a lot of people who really love this thing. A movie takes a lot of passion and a lot of investment, and the greatest part of the job is being able to share that with people. It’s great to share a love for something, and doing that on this scale is so remarkably unique. It will probably never ever happen to me again. When we first started, we didn’t know what was going to happen - it was something we all loved and were invested in. It was this small, quirky movie that blew up and we were lucky enough to take the ride.”

They’ve done it again, and it looks like this could be one record that’s pretty hard to break. For the fourth straight year, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have won the award for “Best Kiss” at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, this time as Bella and Edward in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. The only problem seemed to be that we were missing a certain Rob to accept the award with Kristen, since he already had prior promotional duties to do for Cosmopolis. But we can always, always trust Kristen to come up with something clever…..

Pattinson couldn’t attend the awards ceremony due to prior commitments for his upcoming film “Cosmopolis,” suggesting an interesting acceptance speech smooch solution for co-star Stewart.

“I think Kristen is going, so she’s going to kiss herself if she wins,” he said with a grin.

And, well, that’s sort of what Stewart did. After taking the stage and asking for a succession of co-stars, including “Snow White and the Huntsman” actors Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron and “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner, to come help her out, Stewart turned her back to the audience and mimed a steamy make-out all by herself.

She kept her actual acceptance speech short and sweet: “Thanks, guys, this really means a lot. Thank you, guys, very much for giving us Best Kiss again. Thank you.”

You did it Twilighters! That took some serious devotion to voting to keep the “Best Kiss” category this year.

Interview Magazine has a great feature on the gorgeous duo of Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron from Snow White and The Huntsman in their latest issue. Here we have a couple of shots from their photoshoot and a little bit of the interview with Kristen. In this little snippet of the interview, Kristen talks about shooting different movies in-between shooting the Twilight movies, and discusses just how hard it was to shake the character of Joan Jett from The Runaways.

MITCHELL: It seems like every year you have these two wildly different pulls between the bigger movies that you do, like the Twilight films, and then the smaller ones that you’ve done. I remember a couple of years ago when you had both Welcome to the Rileys [2010] and The Runaways at Sundance.

STEWART: Yeah, I think it went Twilight, Welcome to the Rileys, New Moon, Runaways, then Eclipse, so it was like one of those movies between each Twilight movie.

MITCHELL: It seems like Joan would be another hard habit to shake.

STEWART: She was. I went to do Eclipse right after, and I think the director of that movie might have said to another cast member that he had to beat the Joan Jett out of me. [Mitchell laughs] For a while, I just walked kind of hunched over. Joan has great defensive tools, and I became a bit attached to them.

MITCHELL: Like which ones?

STEWART: Just the way she deals with people. I think we were promoting New Moon just as I was finishing The Runaways, and I remember going to Comic-Con with a Minor Threat T-shirt on. I was really happy and excited to be there, but I was so defensive and crazy. [laughs] It’s hard to deal with the press. There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it’s subjective. But I was totally Joan Jett-ing out. We were doing interviews, and one wrong thing was said, and Joan has this crazy ability to just shut down and look at you like, “Well, I’m done now. Later.” It was so . . . I’m not like that, but . . . Yeah, I was then
