In Joan Jett , an authorized tribute, fashion designer/author Todd Oldham retraces Jett's career—from forming The Runaways to launching Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. Joan Jett features many never-before-seen photos, ephemera, and excerpts from 30 years worth of interviews, carefully curated with Joan herself, covering the multi-decade career of a real rock 'n' roll icon. A thoughtful introduction written by renowned indie rocker and Riot Grrrl Kathleen Hanna brings context to this exciting title. We're giving away copies of this book to five lucky readers courtesy of [...]
Check out the trailer for the upcoming movie based on 70s rockers The Runaways - it's a hoot. Might even be a fun rockin' movie as well. The movie opens in two weeks. Ain't It Cool Harry loved it. From MTV : "In a new trailer for the Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart flick "The Runaways", fans get a taste of the chemistry between Stewart and Fanning, as well as the level of fame the all-girl rock group achieved in the '70s. The [...]
A new full length trailer for the totally lesbionic Runaways movie has been put on the 'net! Here's a synopsis: every time we see Kristen Stewart's Joan Jett she's making some kind of lesbian sex eyes at Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie, the end. It's such a total lez fest I can't even really deal with it right now. Besides teenage lesbianism, I guess this movie is about a rock band. KStew and DakFan (there's really no good way to give her a nickname) actually performed the vocals for the songs in the movie and their rendition of [...]
Photo credit: Matt Beard . For seven years after her all-too-soon exit from American Idol 's second season in 2003, the promise of new music from Kimberly Caldwell cemented itself in the form of a permanent "Coming Soon!" on her official website. Though she would occasionally release snippets and full songs for fans on her MySpace , a definitive announcement was never made. Over the past few years, Kimberly was quite busy in the studio, testing out sounds and covering songs with some of the industry's most noteworthy musicians. [...]
The Runaways is a film that has been talked about for a while. It's the one where Kristen Stewart stars as Joan Jett ; basically telling the story of Jett's first band, The Runaways (get it?). The movie is hitting theaters on March 19, but you can check out the trailer for it above.
I have not always been a vocal supporter of The Runaways , the new biopic of the legendary teen-girl punk band that launched the careers of both Joan Jett and Lita Ford . I mean, Dakota Fanning as singer Cherie Currie? That chick from Twilight as Jett herself? (Okay, I admit it: Kristen Stewart really was good in Adventureland .) They were obviously gonna ruin it, right? But since then, I've found myself caught up in the hype. I want to hear the music. I want to [...]
Will the Twilight star twinkle as Joan Jett? We have our doubts.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch cherry bomb!, indeed. While we don't fully agree with the casting of Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett (we're okay with Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curie, we guess), the trailers that have been out--not to mention the posters all over...

Hey, guys! Hope you didn't stay up too late after Lost -- I was completely pooped by 10:15, so I have a bunch of comments to catch up on this morning. How about some headlines?

Hey, man! It's another dark and chilly morning, but what else is new? Yesterday I came home and needed a little break from work, so I went to a friend's house and we watched Oprah interview Rosie O'Donnell. (It was actually a really good show!) Anyway, then I read some comics and caught up on Big Love. Wow. That situation keeps getting nuttier. Maybe Sissy Spacek can help sort it out.
Just five months ago, I wrote the original installation of Kristen Stewart Dyke Watch . I expected this to be a one time thing, mostly a joke, just goofing around. Poking fun at our society (both homo and heterocentric) and their need to order and organize people. But then it kept coming.. and coming... and coming... the clues, the hints, the overt flaunting of lesbianism.. Our little lady keeps growing and growing, and as she does, the gayvibes just get stronger and stronger. My crush has [...]
Happy Monday, everybody! I hope you enjoyed the weekend to its fullest. I saw the wonderful Dawn Landes, heard talented Norwegian rockers Serena Maneesh, ate grits with Alabamians, bought a new laptop bag and successfully duplicated a recipe I saw on Gordon Ramsay's The F Word. All in all, a successful two days. Let's kick off the week with headlines:
" The Runaways " made its Sundance Film Festival debut on Sunday, January 24th at the Eccles Center Theatre in Park City, Utah. Hitting the red carpet were the stars of the movie, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning , along with their Rock N Roll counterparts, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie . The movie is a coming of age biopic, detailing the story of the first all girl rock band to [...]
I've been hearing about the Runaways biopic for a while. It stars Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame) as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. Below is the trailer, followed by a scene from the film. Based on these clips, I can't tell if the movie is going to be mildly excruciating or totally exciting. I'm rooting for the latter, only because I really do love this band. And here are the original Runaways: [...]
Conan's getting boned. We all know it. I've been a fan of Conan since I knew what laughter was, and I'm betting somewhere in this whole process something just isn't right. So I made a mix. Some of these songs are for Conan, some are for Leno from Conan, some I think speak pretty well for themselves. *MP3: Johnny Cash - "Ring Of Fire" *MP3: Joan Jett - "Bad Repuation" *MP3: Weezer - "Say It Ain't So" *MP3: Jay-Z - "Empire State Of Mind" *MP3: Beach Boys - "Wouldn't [...]
The Pop Five is a series of Pop Candy readers' top five lists. Today's list comes from Dave B. (Dad-E-O) in Michigan:
A few days back the trailer for the upcoming Runaways movie starring our girl KStew was released. As you will see when you watch the trailer there's a scene where Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett gives somebody "sex eyes" in a club or something. I sincerely hope that the sex eyes aren't directed at some dude because we all KNOW Joan Jett is a huge lez...and KStew probably is too , so it just wouldn't be believable. That being said, I'm not so sure Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie is believable either, so I'm sure the sex eyes ARE [...]
