HollywoodNews Kristen Stewart named “Hollywood Hot Female Star of the Year”

But in 2010, Kristen Stewart made great strides in convincing Hollywood she was capable of playing other roles outside of Stephenie Meyer’s vampires-and-werewolves franchise.

Like punk-rock pioneer Joan Jett in “The Runaways.”

Or a wayward prostitute seeking emotional connections in “Welcome to the Rileys.”

Of course, those who have been paying attention know that Stewart holds tremendous promise for a post-“Twilight” career. She earned raves for her work in “Adventureland” and “Into the Wild.” She’s been doing excellent work since “The Safety of Objects” and “Panic Room.”

But it was “Twilight” that put her on the map … and in the tabloids’ crosshairs. And it is there where she is likely to stay until the second “Breaking Dawn” comes out in 2012. Until then, Stewart will continue to burn upHollywood’s headlines as gossip hounds seek any morsel of information regarding her personal life or relationship with “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson.

Is there any doubt, then, that Kristen Stewart would be named our “Hollywood Hot Female Movie Star of the Year” for 2010? Keep it coming, Kristen. We’re eagerly awaiting your next move.
