Vampire's lover walks to cure Diabetes


"Twilight" star, Kristen Stewart was the surprise guest at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium on Nov. 8 to kick off the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes.

Walkers showed up to raise awareness and money for a cure for Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. According to the foundation, they hope that the event this year will raise at least $2 million for diabetes research.

The “Twilight” star found it "amazing to be around such inspiring people," said Stewart. She cut the ribbon with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard before taking the stage to say a few inspiring words.

To attend the walk, Stewart took a break from her "New Moon" promotional schedule which she and fellow cast mates have been doing continuously around the world.

Like I said in Cyrus's case, you have to hope that Stewart did the walk for a good reason, rather than to get good press two weeks before her movie comes out.

"It's a bit of a coincidence that 'Bella' did this charity event right before her movie...though she really doesn't need it to gain publicity, the movie will be a hit no matter what," said Natalie Murdock, student at the University of Texas at Austin.

Murdock says she is the biggest "Twilight" fan and doesn't care the reasons behind her good charity work.

I give her the benefit of the doubt as well; maybe she has a relationship with someone who suffered from Diabetes. Or maybe she was touched by what the foundation does.

Either way, Stewart has my support as I will be seeing "New Moon" at midnight on Nov. 20.
