Kristen finds the next best thing to R-Patz

Actress Kristen Stewart has taken a collection of stuffed animals that former boyfriend Robert Pattinson bought her on a promotional tour.

The 22-year-old star - who walked the red carpet for her latest movie On The Road in Toronto, Canada on Thursday night - is cuddling up to the soft toys for security and comfort.

According to reports she hopes they'll help her get over any nerves she has about appearing in public.

A source said: "Kristen is latching on to all the things that she associates with Robert and now she can't be without her stuffed animals.

"Over the years, Robert, who was a hopeless romantic, bought Kristen plushies whenever he saw one he thought she would love."

Apparently the 'Twilight' star keeps them in the bedroom of wherever she stays to remind her of his love.

The insider continued: "She is obsessed with them and has them scattered all over her bed; they're a sweet reminder of how he cared for her.

But now, as they're no longer together, they've become more of a security blanket for Kristen, so she took a collection of her favourite teddy bears with her to Toronto."

She was overcome with nerves about her first red carpet appearance since her now infamous cheating scandal in which she betrayed her ex-boyfriend Robert with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

The source added to website Radar Online: "She's missing Robert a lot, and she's clinging on to her stuffed animals for comfort; Kristen is petrified about facing the public."

Kristen Stewart is buying a $4.8 million home in Malibu beach, California, with her mother, after they both became single recently.

The 'Twilight' star moved out of the Los Angeles house she shared with former boyfriend and co-star Robert Pattinson in the wake of her affair with 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, but is said to be moving on with her life with the fabulous five bedroom home on Malibu beach, California.

The three storey, 5,800-square-foot property is surrounded by thick landscaping and features an oval-shaped guest house.

An online listing of the home describe it as a "radically modern glass and steel" structure with hardwood floors, frosted glass accents and minty green accent walls.

According to website Celebdigs.com, the house was actually purchased in her mother, Jules Mann Stewart's name, although Kristen is thought to be living with her and contributing substantially to its cost.

Jules is moving out as she is also going through a breakup, as she filed for divorce from Kristen's father, John Stewart, on August 17. They had been married for 27 years.

Meanwhile fans were out in force to support Kristen at the premiere of 'On The Road' at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada. many held placards offering support during the difficult time in her life, reading "Talent, Beauty, Strength and Courage - We stand by Kristen always," and "We are always with you Kristen Stewart."

Speaking at the premiere, she told MTV News: "Dude, I'm really happy that they're here for 'On the Road'.

"I think most of them were fans before I had anything to do with 'Twilight', which is why they're here anyways, so it's awesome."
