Actress plans gay ghosthunti­ng reality TV show

- By Muri Assuncao

Kristen Stewart is gunning for gay ghosts.

The star of the “Twilight” movies is developing a gay ghost-hunting reality television series, a project she is describing as “a paranormal romp in a queer space.”

Stewart revealed her plans to join the celebrity ghost hunting trend in a recent interview with the New Yorker.

“Gay people love pretty things,” the 31-year-old BAFTA Award winner told the magazine last month, in an interview published Nov. 16. “So we are aiming for a richness,” she added.

Stewart, who recently announced she was engaged to her longtime girlfriend Dylan Meyer, said that she’s also writing a television series with her soon-to-be-wife.

Meyer is a fellow actress and screenwrit­er. Her latest screenwrit­ing project, the Amy Poehler-directed comedy-drama “Moxie,” was released on Netflix in March.

Stewart, whose performanc­e as Princes Diana in the new movie

“Spencer” has been generating early Oscar buzz, is not the only famous face to make a foray into the unknown.

Popstar Demi Lovato, a Grammy-nominated singer and self-described, “activist and UFO experience­r,” brings viewers on a road trip “in search of definitive answers to some of the biggest questions about extraterre­strial life,” in their Peacock series “Unidentifi­ed With Demi Lovato.”

Fellow pop sensation Kesha has also recently announced a new TV series, in which she plans to explore the unexplored. “Conjuring Kesha” is scheduled to premiere next year on discovery+.

“Over the course of my life, I’ve always been drawn to the supernatur­al and the spiritual realm,” the “Die Young” singer said in a statement. “On this new show, I will bring along my friends to some of the most mysterious paranormal hotspots to explore with me. We will explore life’s great mysteries and aim to catch something never-before seen on camera. My hope is to show that supernatur­al isn’t just the thing of myths and fables,” she added.
