Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning were very dedicated in accurately portraying Joan Jett and Cherie Currie’s life in their movie The Runaways. The actresses spent so much time with Jett and Currie they adopted many of their personal habits and idiosyncrasies including how they write.

Watch the video from MTV to hear Kristen explain “…the emotional connection to capture an essence” and how she used that to bring the legend to life.

Who’s going to The Runaways opening weekend March 19th?

Sweet sixteen it is for Dakota Fanning today, February 23rd. The star of the upcoming film The Runaways, celebrated over the weekend with a dinner in Beverly Hills. Happy Birthday to Dakota!

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are in Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival promoting their other film together The Runaways. The two teen costars popped in to a Joan Jett and the Blackhearts concert at Harry O’s on Sunday January 24th and appeared briefly onstage with Jett and former Runaways bandmate, Cheri Currie.

Fanning is portraying Currie in the upcoming movie and Stewart will be seen as Jett in the pic that chronicles the rise of the all teenage girl band of the seventies.

Kristen Stewart may have another project up her sleeve shortly. The Twilight actress is reportedly ready to sign on to star in An American Girl. Actor James Woods is directing the script and gives this summary of the plot:

“It’s about a young woman who is really destructive. It’s that magical time right after you’re out of high school. She was the top swimmer and dive champion in school. Now it’s a year later and she lives in a little town in Indiana and the place is dying, she’s working in a grocery store and drinking and drugging too much and she’s showing off in front of this guy who likes her, and gets involved in a big sex thing with two guys drunk one night at a quarry. She gets taped doing it on somebody’s phone and in a small town, her reputation is ruined and on a drunken whim, she joins the Marines, which is ridiculous.

Stewart has had quite a number of projects in the past couple of years, including Adventureland with Jesse Eisenberg, The Runaways with Dakota Fanning and of course, The Twilight Saga films. Woods believes this project will earn Stewart an Oscar nomination. That’s a pretty bold statement.

Here is a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot of Kristen Stewart’s cover and article for Interview Magazine’s 40th Anniversary edition. Great article on her - click the link to check it out.

Kristen Stewart brings out very strong opinions in people. Love her or hate her (and you do express your mind about her - loud and clear in our comments) Stewart is someone we are compelled to watch. The actress had a number of films under her belt before The Twilight Saga and Bella Swan ever looked her way including Panic Room, The Cake Eaters, Jumper, and Into The Wild.  ScreenStar.com has compiled the top “Five Reasons To Love Kristen Stewart.” According to ScreenStar they are as follows:

1. Strong-willed
2. Goofy
3. Intelligent
4. Dedicated
5. Bella Swan

I think these reasons are right on the money. Stewart is passionate about what she does and she isn’t afraid to show it. We applaud male actors for their candor and dedication but slam young actresses when they step outside of the “Hollywood Starlet” ideal: blond, bland and meek. I love that Kristen isn’t conventional and has the courage to speak her mind and do her own thing, not what other people think she should do.

That’s my two cents. Read the article here and tell us what you think?

New pictures are surfacing of Kristen Stewart and her co-star Billy Burke (who plays her dad, Chief Swan) as they film the graduation scene in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. This is the pivotal point in the books where Bella (Stewart) figures out that Victoria (now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) is the one behind the newborn vampire army and is aiming for her. In the book, Edward and Alice Cullen (Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene) are also part of the ceremonies. As of yet no photos of Pattinson or Greene working this scene. I hope we get to see a shot or two of Edward (Robert) in the back of Chief Swan’s squad car - funny!

Kristen is back with her Bella-length hair. The actress needed extentions after she cut her hair for her film The Runaways (with Dakota Fanning) where she portrayed Joan Jett. I kinda miss her mullet-y ‘do. It really did look good on her.

Kristen Stewart is on the cover of the upcoming ‘Dazed & Confused‘ magazine. In the September issue, the actress will talk about the paparazzi, New Moon, her role as Joan Jett for The Runaways and plenty more. Check it out on stands Thursday August 20th.

Kristen Stewart opened up to Dark Horizons.com at San Diego Comic Con about her role as Bella in ‘New Moon’ and her upcoming flick ‘The Runaways’ where she plays Joan Jett. Talking about Bella’s emotional development Stewart said:

“I think she grows up light years in this one; there’s something to be said about the way she behaved herself in the first. It takes an extremely assured – more than that – really, a strong presence of a person, to throw yourself into a world that you have no – absolutely no sense of, like, what it might be like. But to just trust whatever gut feeling pushed you into that. But what I really liked about the second one is that – I was saying this before. I feel stupid repeating myself. But, to know yourself for real – I think you probably would have to go through more of a range of emotion than she had gone through at that point in her life. So, to commit to someone like that – to have it taken away, and then have to snap back – I mean, now I actually think that it’s not – I’m not looking at a kid who’s sort of immaturely but impressively going for something. Now you’re like, “Okay, this young lady, this woman, might be actually getting to know herself, and doing the right thing.” She definitely grows. I mean, she definitely matures.”

Stewart has really connected to Bella in a way that she hasn’t seemed to in the past. Maybe it’s that the character has more emotional depth in the rest of the books and films or perhaps she is becoming more comfortable playing a character that has such a huge fan base that scrutinizes her every move. Read the rest of the interview at DarkHorizons.com and hear her thoughts on Taylor Lautner and what a good friend he’s become to her.

Perhaps she will join the cast of ‘New Moon’  as vampire Jane and work with Kristen Stewart, but right now Dakota Fanning is also in talks to join KS on another film, the Joan Jett biopic. If everything holds up and Fanning is signed on, she would play Cheri Currie, lead singer of the all girl group The Runaways. Stewart is already confirmed to play Jett and filming starts late spring. Hopefully they have a great working relationship.
