Kristen Freaked Out Producers With New Hairdo
Friday, November 20th, 2009
When Kristen Stewart used her break between “Twilight” projects to shoot “The Runaways,” she changed more than characters. To portray punk rocker Joan Jett, K-Stew swapped the flowing locks she wore as Bella for a dyed black shag. RadarOnline reports the actress was fine with the change, but the producers of the vampire franchise weren’t so sure.
“I knew I could still play Bella and not have to feel the sweat running down my head to make me feel I was doing something real. I knew I could wear a wig and still play her. And I knew if I was going to fit ‘The Runaways’ into this time frame that they were going to just have to deal with it.” Kristen did manage to placate the nervous “New Moon” execs.
“That was something they were initially scared about, but it ended up being totally fine. And it gave me an opportunity to do something different in between. Hopefully people can understand that.” Smart girl—you don’t want to get typecast at 19!

Jett Calls Kristen Little Sis
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Ultimate rocker chick Joan Jett walked the red carpet at Monday night’s premiere of “New Moon,” and she gave RadarOnline the scoop on seeing Kristen Stewart portray her in the biopic “The Runaways.” The film is based on Jett’s memoirs of her days in the teen girls’ rock group.
“She was amazing, such an amazing talent,” Jett gushed. “It was incredible to see her transform into me, and it wasn’t creepy. It was very surreal, like having a little sister.” Kristen certainly looks the part, with her black shag haircut and vintage 70s wardrobe!

Dakota And Kristen Are Best Pals
Monday, November 9th, 2009
It’s natural Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart would have a lot in common, since they’re both super-successful teen actresses, so it’s not surprising the two share a special bond. The two former child stars recently made a pair of films together: “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and “The Runaways.”
Dakota told Teen Vogue, “We became really close. It’s like we’d known each other our whole lives. We talk all the time.” In “The Runaways,” Dakota and Kristen play teen rockers Cherie Currie and Joan Jett. Dakota finds similarities in the reel and real life ties. “The relationship that Joan and Cherie have in the script is kind of the one that Kristen and I have in real life . . . minus the destructive part.”
How does she avoid going down the path of too many other teen stars? “I get my rebellion out through movies. I’m boring that way. I enjoy having a normal life.” Good for her!
