Interview: Kristen Stewart on Playing Joan Jett

After being cast as Joan Jett in an upcoming movie, who better to teach Kristen
Stewart about rock 'n' roll than the Seventies rocker herself.

The Twilight actress, 19, has been cast as the I Love Rock 'N' Roll singer, 50, in
the biopic The Runways.

And to prepare for the role, Kristen has been meeting frequently with Joan, real name Joan Larkin, who has given her blessing to the movie about her first band The Runways.

Kristen said:

'I'm just listening to her music all the time. I'm trying to just make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through.

'It's one of the most immense responsibilities to play a real person. Her story's important. It's an incredibly triumphant feminist story really.

'She's the first woman to ever start her own record label. So many people know her as just being like one of the coolest people to ever live. That in itself is one of the most intimidating things that I've ever had to confront but she's so cool too.'

Joan is equally enthusiastic about Kristen: 'When her hair is cut and with the right make-up, Kristen should make a really good me.

'She sounded great and played well (on the guitar). She has the passion for it, which
you can't really be taught.'

The pair originally met over New Year's to discuss the film before Kristen was formally cast in the role.

The film also stars former child actor Dakota Fanning, 15, as The Runways's teenage
frontwoman Cherie Currie, who was the same age as the actress when the group
formed.

Jackson Rathbone Interview

New Moon’s Jasper Hale, played by the multi-talented Jackson Rathbone, has a new interview where he chats a bit about his thoughts on New Moon compared to Twilight–

“We have a bigger budget, we have a little more pressure to keep that
feeling going, but the nice thing is that you’re delving more into the story
now with ‘New Moon,’” he said. “As the films progress, you get deeper into
the lore and the mythical world you’re establishing with the werewolves and
get more into what the werewolf society and legacy is. It keeps getting
deeper.”

Now it's Rob & Emilie! Who next?!

The list may go on and Megan Fox was just the beginning! E! resident gossip columnist warned us to brace ourselves for a long summer of hookup rumors. The latest being that Rob is getting cozy with his 'Remember Me' co-star, Emilie de Ravin; while Kristen is in some jealous rage.



Boy did we smell that one coming from a mile away. Now that total babe Emilie is recently single, there was no doubt this was going to be Rob's latest tabloid victim.

Well, multiple things are wrong here:

First of all, Rob and Kristen have the type of relaysh where there is no way jealousy could come between them. In fact, we're sure they are sitting back and loving these rumors!



See, Robsten will most likely never verbally out themselves as a couple, at least not right now—that's what we're hearing from those who hang with them, on both coasts. The last thing they're going to do is use the media, all Paris Hilton-like, as a vehicle to chat about their relaysh, because that inadvertently puts so much pressure on 'em.

We've got years ahead to dish about their behind-the-scenes naughtiness. It's what makes it fun for us and fun for them to keep it under the radar. No muss, no fuss. Just how Rob and K.Stew like it.

R & K have the perf personality types for couple status because they're both so laid-back, generous (on many levels, with themselves, others, too) and passionate, and they couldn't give an ef what anyone else or rags say about 'em. Isn't that why we love them together?

Of course, the guy can't help it if girls fall for him. Rumors even have it that even Emilie is also crushing on him now.

This is evidently ruining Rob's image, saying he's basically a player - hooks up with any girl in sight, and sleeps around. I really think they need to respect his privacy, he's already got it hard with the Papz following him everywhere and documenting his every move. It's not fair! Why don't you put yourself in his shoes? Like the old, but truthful, saying goes: "Treat others the way you wish to be treated." Just think about that..
