Shirley Manson hates Stewart criticism

Shirley Manson has revealed that she hates when people criticise Kristen Stewart.

The former Garbage singer praised Stewart's portrayal of Bella Swann in Twilight in a post on her Facebook page.

"You know.......it's kind of pathetic that I care. I am ( afterall or allegedly) a fully mature woman.
But I can't help it. Why are people so turned off by Kristen Stewart?!?!?! I don't get it (sic)," she wrote.

"I think she's the best thing about the entire Twilight franchise. Absolutely. She's delicious to look at."

Manson, who recently revealed that she had remarried in secret, said that she does not understand how people can slate the actress's performances.

"She's a talented actress. (I don't care what anyone else has to say about her acting because I think she behaves EXACTLY the way me and all my pals did around that age of the character she is playing so THERE!) AND she's articulate. And she's a little shy. And clearly very thoughtful. What's not to love?"

The 43-year-old called on critics to lay off Stewart, who was forced to apologise last month after she compared her experiences with the paparazzi to being raped.

"I hate it when she (Stewart) gets trashed. It hurts my teenage self. And it annoys me that everyone laughs at her sullen portrayal of Bella," she added. "What the hell do they want from her? For her to ponce around like a so called normal teenager and smile a little more, no doubt. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….

"SAVE OUR SMART GIRLS SAVE THEM NOW DO NOT MAKE THEM SMILE DON'T DO IT pretty please? x"
