bullet Kristen Stewart denied entry into bar corner

'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart was denied entry into a bar in Utah for being underage.

The 19-year-old is two years short of the legal drinking age in the US but attempted to get into the Ed Hardy Shoes Happy Hour event in Park City, Utah, Jan 23 but she was denied entry by a bouncer, reports contactmusic.com.

'As they started walking in, the bouncer stopped them and asked for their IDs. When he informed Kirsten that she couldn't enter because she was underage, she and her friends seemed pretty surprised,' an onlooker was quoted as saying.

'Her friends tried to reason with the bouncer and told them that they just wanted to sit down and relax for 30 minutes but the bouncer still declined them. They huddled up for a few minutes, discussing what to do next and eventually left,' the onlooker added.

Stewart is currently in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, where she is promoting her upcoming film 'The Runaways'.

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Utah news. From Salt Lake City to West Valley City, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Utah Independent. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Utah weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
