&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PECLB0004407”&amp;gt;Kristen Stewart&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; may turn a few heads with topless scenes in “On the Road,” but the actress says there was no room for prudishness on her journey as character Marylou.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel, Stewart goes in some bold (and adult) directions. It’s a far cry from the aww-shucks nature of Bella Swan.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”It didn’t bother me,” Stewart told MTV News while promoting the film at the Toronto International Film Festival.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-hollywood-headlines-a-crazy-week-in-review-20120915,0,1619245.photogallery”&amp;gt;HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES: A crazy week in review&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”You can do no wrong with [Salles]. He puts so much inside of you. In the four-week rehearsal process, it was OK to ask any question, to bring up any story, to really overanalyze everything and intellectualize everything.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;By the time cameras rolled, Stewart &amp;lt;a href=”https://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1693853/kristen-stewart-on-the-road-topless-scene.jhtml”&amp;gt;said&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; an errand like stripping down was “so not a big [deal].”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;She said she welcomed the chance to do right by the book, adding, “Anything that feels guarded, in this particular movie especially, would just be so against the spirit of it.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”On the Road” costars &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PECLB0000007059”&amp;gt;Garrett Hedlund&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;, Sam Riley, Kristen Dunst and Elizabeth Moss.&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-kristen-stewart-british-vogue-interview-pattinson,0,2899561.story”&amp;gt;The Kristen Stewart post-breakup interview that wasn’t&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-jennifer-lawrence-toronto-stewart-gyllenhaal,0,7079061.story”&amp;gt;Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart toast at Toronto film fest&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-kristen-stewart-cheating-rupert-sanders-robert-pattinson,0,7157821.story”&amp;gt;Kristen Stewart apologizes for ‘momentary indiscretion’ with married director&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Follow Matt Donnelly on&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/mattdonnelly”&amp;gt;Twitter&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=”https://plus.google.com/107191816989043836922/posts”&amp;gt;Google+&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;nbsp;Follow the Ministry of Gossip on Twitter&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/latcelebs”&amp;gt;@LATcelebs&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;and on Facebook&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/www.facebook.com/ministryofgossip”&amp;gt;facebook.com/ministryofgossip&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p class=”p1”&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- BEGIN EDITING HERE --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div class=”ent-tv-must-reads”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt;PHOTOS AND MORE:&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- First story --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div class=”ent-pick”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Image and image link--&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/news/la-ca-2012-celebrity_pictures,0,3878557.photogallery”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Headline and headline link --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/news/la-ca-2012-celebrity_pictures,0,3878557.photogallery”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;PHOTOS: Celebrity portraits by The Times&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Second story --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div class=”ent-pick”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Image and image link--&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-stars-injured-on-set-pictures,0,3794619.photogallery”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Headline and headline link --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-stars-injured-on-set-pictures,0,3794619.photogallery”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;PHOTOS: Peril on the set - Celebrity injuries&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Third story --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div class=”ent-pick”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Image and image link--&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-kristen-stewart-cheating-timeline-rupert-sanders-robert-pattinson,735,1919686.story”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;!-- Headline and headline link --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://arstechnica1.netblogpro.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-kristen-stewart-cheating-timeline-rupert-sanders-robert-pattinson,735,1919686.story”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;TIMELINE: Kristen Stewart cheating scandal&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!--/.ent-tv-must-reads --&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
