James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart - Behind the scenes.

"Welcome to the Rileys was a real pain for Kristen Stewart—literally. In the much buzzed about indie flick, she plays a 16-year-old stripper who is taken in by a married man, played by James Gandolfini..."I did some pole dancing," Stewart told me Saturday at the movie's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. "I got bruises all over my legs. I tore myself up doing it. It sucked."
Oddly enough, she kinda enjoyed it. "The more I saw it, the more I wanted it," Stewart said. "It was like a weird self-hating kind of thing."
Director Jake Scott said it was pretty much a closed set when Stewart had to do her dancing scenes."She was terrified," Scott said. "The strip club we shot in was really a club, and it really was that dirty and really that tough. But she killed it." Source: www.eonline.com
