How much would you pay to hang out with Kristen Stewart's infamous pout? Well, you might be surprised to learn some people would pay, a lot.


The New York Times hung out with Harvey Weinstein at the Toronto International Film Festival and came across this little nugget, about that time he convinced Kristen Stewart to hang out with a prince for 15 minutes in exchange for $500,000:


"Mr. Weinstein described persuading [Kristen Stewart] to accept an offer from a Middle Eastern prince, who said he would make a large contribution to the Sandy relief effort if she would speak with him.

'How much?' Ms. Stewart asked, according to Mr. Weinstein. He checked with the prince, who proposed a figure, which Mr. Weinstein promptly raised to $500,000.


The money was delivered in advance, in cash, Mr. Weinstein said. [James Dolan, MSG's chairman] locked it up in Madison Square Garden, he said. 'And Kristen sits with the guy for 15 minutes.'"



To be clear, that's an actual Middle Eastern prince and not the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.
