Kristen Stewart to Open Teen Halfway Houses

I find it hard to figure out what to do with a Klondike bar but the Queen of Twilight, Kristen Stewart knows what she is going to do with her $25 million she's getting for the two-part Twilight finale Breaking Dawn.

She's making plans to open halfway houses for troubled youths.

“It’s funny when you are endowed not only with public recognition on a [f***in] seriously vast level, but also money,” she says with endearing earnestness. “Like, funds.” (She was reportedly paid $25 million for the two films of Breaking Dawn, plus a percentage of the gross.) “Anytime I hear that somebody’s really rich, the first question is ‘Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?’” She is thinking carefully, strategically, about how best to put her own contribution to use, and has a plan—inspired by her researches for the role of a runaway in the sex trade—to set up a network of halfway houses to help those who want to recover and get back on their feet. “That would be amazing,” she says. “Right now it’s the thing I feel most connected to.”
Wowza!  That's amazing to do something that vast but you've got to be careful.  So many times people have good intentions and go bankrupt.  Even though she is doing other things you don't want to waste money.  I really hope this venture is not a money suck for her and can help those for whom it is intended.
