Kristen Stewart News 2013: Robert Pattinson’s Ex Paid $500,000 Cash To Sit With Arab Prince For 15 Minutes, All Proceeds Went To Sandy Relief

Kristen Stewart is reported to be losing hair over ex, Robert Pattinson, but regardless of her personal fallouts – follicle or relational in nature, the female actress and “Twilight” star knows how to keep it together to support a good cause using her celebrity.

According to Business Insider, Harvey Weinstein let it be known during his “12.12.12” promotion of the Hurricane Sandy Benefit concert which was held at the Toronto Film Festival that the “Twilight” star earned a whopping $500,000 in 15 minutes.

Mr. Weinstein said that the star raised the money for the Sandy Benefit by just sitting next to a Mid-Eastern prince for just 15 minutes. Weinstein however stated that he was not at liberty to disclose the name of the prince at the press conference. To make things even better, Weinstein stated that the sum was delivered in advance and in cash to Madison Square Garden where the Chairman of the place locked it up immediately.

Apart from the quick money raised by Kristen, Harvey went on to also announce that Led Zeppelin were requested to make an appearance at the benefit to help raise more money. The band however could politely not honor the request. Business Insider reports that apparently he got a yes from Robert plant but a no from Jimmy Page, the band's original surviving members. He joked that Jimmy Page’s lawyer who he approached probably works for or is the devil. He then went to Hillary Clinton to see if she could get them to come but she too politely refused instead asking her husband Bill to give it a try. Jimmy still declined the request from Bill as well.

Still not deterred, Business Insider reports that Weinstein went straight to the top and asked Obama to give it a try but it was still to no avail. Despite all this, the benefit concert still went on to get an impressive $30 million.
