Kristen Stewart the Runaways NYC Red Carpet

Tonight was the NYC premiere for The Runaways, the LA premiere was last week.

“While playing various roles, Kristen Stewart has had the opportunity to share onscreen kisses with both Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” movies and Dakota Fanning’s Cherie Currie in their new girl-power rock flick, “The Runaways.” So we obviously had to ask: Who is the better kisser?

We caught up with a dazzling, Pucci minidress-clad Stewart on the red carpet for the New York premiere of “The Runaways” and she gave us the answer. “Cherie, yeah,” she laughed.”

Kristen: Blue Water Comics FAME cover

MTV exclusively premiered Kristen Stewart’s cover of Blue Water comic’s FAME series. Here is the official press statement of the company:

Actress Kristen Stewart to get Fame treatment from Bluewater Productions

Actress Kristen Stewart became an instant celebrity the moment she signed on to play Bella, the love interest of vampire-with-a-soul Edward in the Twilight series of vampire/romance movies based on the popular novels of the same name.

Now Stewart is making the leap to full-on celebrity: She is the newest star of Bluewater Productions’ Fame series of biography comics coming in June.

But Stewart has been acting long before Twilight, and most of her work hasn’t involved vampires or werewolves. In fact, anyone who has watched the coming-of-age drama/comedy Adventureland, knows just how powerful of an actress Stewart can be.

Fame brings to life in graphic form the stories of the world’s biggest celebrities. The series premieres in May and covers the life stories of Lady GaGa & Robert Pattinson. Future editions will include the stories of Taylor Swift and soccer sensation David Beckham.

Writer Kim Sherman, who has also penned Bluewaters’ Robert Pattinson entry in the series, said that Stewart’s versatility and talent might surprise readers who only know her as Bella.

“For Twilight fans, Kristen Stewart is a woman whom fans long to be and love to hate,” Sherman said. “But Kristen has been in the public eye for years, and her career as a serious actor spans dozens of films over a 10-year period of time. My goal with this biography was to show readers the depth residing in this young woman and the roles she’s beautifully tackled through a series of spot shots, pinups and word art.”

Sherman added that the art on this book, provided by renowned artist Warren Martineck, perfectly brings Stewart’s story to life.

“Well-known artist Warren Martineck, of Marvel and D.C. fame, takes my script and provides an amazing viewpoint of the beauty, the grit and the individuality which defines Miss Stewart,” Sherman said.

The 32-page comic book, Fame: Kristen Stewart will be available in June, and will retail for $3.99. Two covers will be available: cover A, by Juanmar Studios which attaches like a puzzle to the FAME: Robert Pattinson issue. Cover B is done by famed comic book artist Randy Green “X-men and Witchblade”.

Bluewater Productions has become well-known for its biography comics. In addition to its Fame series, the company also publishes both the Female Force and Political Power line of biography comics. March 31st comes the release of Female Force: Ellen Degeneres.

“I look at every one of our biography comics as a way to lead a new group of readers to the world of graphic storytelling,” said Darren G. Davis, president of Bluewater Productions. “I have little doubt that Kristen Stewart’s biography will accomplish this.”

Kristen and Dakota: MTV Radio interview

MTV Radio also had an interview with Dakota and Kristen where they talked about making The Runaways, meeting the icons Jett and Churrie and many more. Here is an excerpt of their interview:

MTV: How did you overcome being nervous around rock icons like Joan and Cherie?

Kristen Stewart: You try really, really hard.

Dakota Fanning: We were so lucky that they were supportive of the movie and were as involved as we wanted them to be.

Stewart: It’s so weird when you meet [Joan Jett]. She does give off an energy, and at first it’s intimidating. For me to be playing her, especially before I cut my hair and got into the project, I felt like she was looking at me thinking, “What makes you think you can do this?” The thing about Joan — what I really wanted to play to but goes away as soon as she likes you — is she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. She’s really sensitive and really righteous and morally upstanding. She would tear you down for saying something that wasn’t PC. It was easy [to play her] because she’s so great.

MTV: Would you ever want to start a rock band for real?

Fanning: I don’t really sing, unless I’m doing it for a movie. I just wanted to sing the songs right like she does, because I know they’re so iconic and important to a lot of people. I just hoped I could do them as well as she does.

MTV: We know the crowds you performed in front of were a group of extras …

Stewart: But it’s still a crowd.

MTV: Did you get a feel for what it must’ve been like for the Runaways?

Fanning: Yeah, and especially for me. I don’t do anything till the actual minute that I have to and it’s being recorded, so I like that. I like the energy and having the crowd. I find it really hard to do in front of a few people or no one. You feel kind of stupid for some reason, so I’d keep it inside until I have to actually [perform].

Stewart: I am the same way.

MTV: Would you say that what Joan did in the Runaways paved the way for what you guys are going to be doing for young women?

Stewart: I hope so. To a certain degree, you can definitely see the parallels. But it was so much harder for them.

Fanning: Yeah.

Stewart: We definitely have our own boxes; they’re just different.

Fanning: Music is so different than acting too

Kristen also addressed making the film, K-11 with her mother.

“Yeah,” was Kristen’s response when we brought up the project to her recently, asking if she still thought the film would get made. “Totally. It’s just one of those things where you try and get a movie off the ground that’s small.”

But she isnt sure when its going to be made though.

“I don’t know [whether it will get made],” she explained. “Like, right now it’s harder [to get indie films made].”

Kristen Stewart: Bella, Joan and being directed by mom

Kristen Stewart was recently interviewed by Parade, where she talked about Twilight, The Runaways, the fans and being directed by her mother.

Filling the shoes of a rock icon: “I think my generation doesn’t really know what The Runaways was. I didn’t, even though I was aware of Joan Jett. She’s a legend, so it was a big deal not only to meet her, but to have her on the set. The main thing that Joan talked about was just how much she cared about that period of her life because it jump-started her entire career. The Runaways was one of the first all-girl bands, so it’s an incredibly triumphant, feminist story. Joan became my friend and I was thinking about all she stood for and going, ‘Oh God, now I have to do her justice.’”

Not doing a Milli Vanilli: “I was really concerned about getting the music right because The Runaways have a very distinctive sound. It’s not just singing, it’s trying to sound like them. I wasn’t lip-synching. I worked hard to get like that growl that Joan does when she’s performing. I’m not saying that I did it perfectly, but I gave it my best. And I learned to play the guitar because I didn’t want to fake it.”

Meeting Dakota Fanning again in the “Twilight” zone: “We really bonded on ‘The Runaways.’ I’m really looking forward to the three days that she’s probably going to be filming ‘Breaking Dawn.’ It’s weird to see her in the ‘Twilight’ setting because it’s usually the same cast of people. But, suddenly, there was Dakota. The first time I saw her in her wardrobe as Jane, on ‘Eclipse,’ which was not too far after we finished ‘The Runaways,’ it was bizarre as all hell.”

Her review of Robert Pattinson in “Remember Me”: “I think he’s bold and different. It wasn’t an easy character to play. I thought he was really good in it.”

Those diehard “Twilight” fans: “I’ve never been so fanatical about something. I never had that thing that I’m obsessed with. But, I’ve followed things for years like bands and movies and actors. I completely get what they’re feeling. Personally, it’s just so cool for me to be able to go back and follow a character for so long in successive movies. The fact that fans love them helps give me the chance.”

As for playing a string of disaffected teens: “It’s hard to generalize about the characters that I’ve played because they all have their separate issues. I don’t know what types of characters, especially if they’re young girls, who wouldn’t be considered disaffected. I think to play a completely mindless happy person would be mindless and happy, but boring. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’m just playing parts that speak to me. The only thing I would never do is a big explosion movie. I couldn’t handle it. I would totally break down.”

Playing Bella remains a challenge: “You have to live something when you film it. I know from the outside ‘Twilight’ looks a big commercial movie. But, it was more difficult to play Bella than a lot of other parts I’ve done. And, she’s still developing because I’m not finished yet. It’s more of an exploration of a person’s journey.”

Her escape after the first “Twilight”: “I did my own road trip back from Portland where we were filming. I bought like a little truck and drove home to LA. It wasn’t like the most transformative experience, but it was fun. It gave me a sense of freedom and going away from something that was a rather intense experience.”

Still not ready to be directed by her mom: “She’s a really well-known script supervisor and she’s co-written this drama ‘K-11,’ which she’ll direct and I would be in. If she called me right now and said, ‘We’re making the movie,’ I would be really excited. I guess my question is, ‘How would it be to work with a parent?’ We’re really close and then, at the same time, we’re creatively very different. But, I think it would be cool if it happens.”

Kristen Stewart

Stewart is best known for her work in the Twilight movies, where she stars as love-struck teen Bella Swan. But she’s been acting since 2002 when she starred with Jodie Foster in the tense David Fincher thriller Panic Room. Up next: She co-stars as Joan Jett opposite Dakota Fanning in The Runaways.

Taylor Lautner

Lautner burst on the scene with last year’s New Moon playing Jacob the werewolf. Now he’s the hottest thing in Hollywood.
