Oh snap! Whitney Port, star of MTV‘s reality TV series The City, has gone on the record with MTV News to reveal that she thinks the Twilight movie is “really bad”. Despite the fact that she hasn’t read the books, Whitney says that neither the movie nor the actors impressed her very much. She even went so far as to call actress Kristen Stewart (who plays Twilight protagonist Bella Swan) “one-dimensional” … Oh, no she didn’t! Read below to find out what other blasphemies Whitney deigned to utter about the vampire flick:
It seems like these days everyone has caught “Twilight” fever — even celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Ryan Reynolds admit to being fans of the teen vampire saga. But, there’s one celebrity who isn’t buying into it — and she knows a thing or two about drama. Former “The Hills” and now “The City” star Whitney Port admitted to MTV News that, despite seeing the movie, she has yet to figure out just what the big deal is surrounding “Twilight.” “I haven’t read the books, but I saw the movie,” she said. “I thought the movie was really bad. I love whatever his name is … Robert [Pattinson]. I think he’s so good-looking and handsome. I haven’t met him.” Although Whitney has love for Robert, she has more lukewarm feelings for his “Twilight” co-star, Kristen Stewart. “She’s OK. She seems so serious, like she’s so one-dimensional,” she said. “I think [Stewart and Pattinson] have good chemistry … I just didn’t think the acting was so good.” With all that in mind, it seems that everyone in Hollywood — no matter how they feel about “Twilight” — has auditioned for a part in one of the upcoming sequels. It begs the question: Is Whitney looking to audition? “I’m not really so much of an actress. I didn’t do this to do acting,” she said.
LMAO!!!! Clearly, Whitney is not courting the rabid Twilight fanbase with her comments … I mean, even if you really didn’t like the film is it really smart to say so? I suppose the girl deserves credit for her honesty but if I were her, I’d watch my back. Twilighters are a fervently devoted group of folks … she’d be wise to steer clear of any Twilight fan for the foreseeable future. Whitney‘s comments are even more telling when you hear them come from her mouth. After the jump, watch video of Whitney‘s anti-Twilight comments for yourself …
I’d be curious to hear Whitney‘s opinions of the book … if she ever gets around to reading it. Oh who am I kidding, I doubt that would ever happen. In any event, there you have it … Whitney hates Twilight. What do we think of that?

Bella is a strong female character. Kristen did a great job.
nough said
LMAO, Whitney’s funny… but that’s kind of why no one watches her frickin’ reality TV show. I watched it to the fourth episode and got bored. Why in the world did Whitney need a reality show? She was always boring even though she’s sweet, and has absolutely no drama in her life. Everything else was obviously/probably scripted. And it’s ‘reality’ yet still the most damn boring thing.
Back off Whit, too bad these people are making loads of money and they’re actually ACTORS/ACTRESSES. And they’re good at it. Look in the mirror before you judge, thanks.
I still love Whitney, though.
I don’t see why she should keep her opinions to herself just because a bunch of fangirls can’t handle someone not liking what they like. And because she’s on a reality show she can’t be a critic of something else? I call shenanigans.
Granted, everyones a critic. I just don’t understand why they were asking what role she would want in the new Movie. No bad on her MTV asked her the question, but bad on MTV.
LOL, speak on it, Whitney! I’ve read the books and seen the movie…THUMBS DOWN to both. They’re so bad, it boggles the mind! Read The Vampire Chronicles or watch True Blood. Now that’s some good vampire *shit!
I read the first book and thought my synopsis was terribly bored. And kind of stereotypical. The verdict–pre teen porn. Their parents won’t let them buy out of the adult section so they go to feel good romance. I won’t try the movie even though from the commercials, it looks very good with very artistic camera shots. Maybe I should watch the movie, but every time I see a girl with Twilight paraphernalia I want to take to shove Sunshine by Robin McKinley, Patricia Briggs’ Mercedes Thompson novels, and Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire series. Better written supernatural, feel-good romances with a higher addiction rate.
i COMPLETELY AGREE with whitney!!! twilight is so OVERRATED!!!!!!
I agree with Whit! I am a huge Twilight fan, I am soooo in love with Edward! But I hated the movie. It was so low budget and cheesy. I am def hoping New Moon is better. With that said, I really think she needs to read the book, then she will get it!
The movie was hokey and not true to the book, which I loved. Catherine made Edward awkward and nervous…”I had an adreniline rush…you can google it.” Come on. He was 100 years old, intelligent, articulate and suave. And every eating scene in the movie was in the diner. Bella always cooked for her dad in the book. It was very clear that she was the one taking care of him. A better director could have made that movie great. (And better actors, there I said it.) Charlie stole that movie, IMHO.
I have to agree and I’m so glad someone finally said it! I LOVED the books and read them in five days. Then I got all my girlfriends hooked also. We were looking so forward to the movie and well to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. It was just really, really bad. It could have been so good it just fell flat.. What she says about Kristen is spot on. He acting is so bad and even laughable at times. Hope the next one is better.
I really liked the books and while there were some parts of the movie I love I gotta say it’s not one of my favorite movies out there… At least the girl was honest about her opinions…
I love this girl. She is completely right the movie was atrocious. I read the book and then saw the film and was surprised that the actors made the characters less appealing than they appear in the book.
Well Whitney, you have one new fan.
Thank you, someone has the balls to say that they didn’t like the Twilight movie instead of praising it even if they didn’t like it. I’ve read the books and loved them, but the movie was a disappointment for me. The acting was not all that great, 15 mins in I was wondering if this was seriously the movie.
@ Kelly: Charlie definitely stole the show!
I actually thought the OPPOSITE. The books sucked , but the movie was NOT that bad…it wasn’t that great either. But watchable.
The music REALLY made the movie for me.
i agree K Stewart really turned me off. She almost seems mean in the movie. I was wondering what Edward saw in her. And then I read the books and I was like “Oh it was just bad casting”
I completely agree with her.
umm…Whitney, there is about two people left in the whole world that watch your crappy show (also including The Hills) so you can’t really talk…
She shouldn’t judge Twilight by the movie. Yes the movie was crap, but it was a book for years before it was ever considered being made into a movie. If you’ve seen the movie and hated it, then read the books before you judge, coz you might just be surprised…
its her opinion… [shrug]…let the girl be…there are even SOME twilight fans who will agree with her. and she didn’t say it in an attacking tone.
and if you don’t watch her show, don’t care what she says or disagree, then stop getting into a frenzy over it.
I think she’s entitled to her opinion. I can see why some people think of the movie that way. Mostly because they haven’t read the books. I was rather impressed by the actors in Twilight, they evoked a lot of the emotion from the books.
I too don’t understand what the fuss is about Twilight. I’ve read the books and seen the movie, and neither is really exceptional. Meyer’s writing is merely standard and her tale is one that could be told in one book, not four. I was bored through most of the reading, although there were some parts that I loved and that were well done. I think I’m the only person who likes the movie better than the books – the soundtrack, cinematography and special effects were all excellent.
We all have our opinions ! IF THE BOOKS WERE SO BADLY WRITTEN HOW COME IT HAS MILLIONS OF DEDICATED FANS ?
IT’S OK KEEP HATING BUT TWILIGHT ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE AND WHITNEY NEEDS TO STOP BASHING THINGS she doesn’t understand and worry ABOUT HER LAME SHOW !!
