Here is an excerpt of the article:

Stewart and Fanning first shared screen time in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and became fast friends. “You can probably tell we get along really well,” Fanning said in between takes. “For the characters, it’s really important that bond is portrayed. And we have that in real life.”

Rather than talk up the more sensational aspects of filming — like, say, the scenes in which Fanning writhes and vamps onstage dressed in fishnet stockings and a revealing bodice — the actress chose to explain how she and Stewart (with castmates Taylor-Compton, Maeve and Shawkat) rehearsed the Runaways’ music together for a month before filming began. Stewart and Fanning then re-recorded the vocals for several of the songs heard in the film.

“When you’re up there and you hear yourself singing the songs and feel yourself performing the dance moves that are so iconic — when you’re up there having the time of your life — you feel like you are those girls for a few minutes,” Fanning said. “It’s really fun!”

Asked if the role was an attempt to shatter the conception of her as the child star of such kid flicks as “The Cat in the Hat” and “Charlotte’s Web,” the actress demurred, explaining it was simply part of her natural career evolution.

“I’m just portraying what was going on with [Cherie] when she was my age,” Fanning said. “I want to continue to act for my whole life. Eventually, everyone will have to let me grow up, somehow, some way. I’m just trying to let that happen as naturally as I can.”

During production, the real Joan Jett was a semi-constant presence on-set. At the Kyoto Grand location, the rock icon huddled with Stewart conspiratorially in between takes, their closeness highlighting a remarkable physical similarity. In the film, Stewart convincingly channels something of Jett’s androgynous, take-no-guff demeanor and rock star swagger. (Stewart declined comment for this story.)

“She has completely embodied the character of Joan,” Sigismondi said. “Her body language, her face, her walk. It’s amazing how she has just become her.”

MetroMix has counted 15 Stars who have broken out as serious actors over the past decade. These are stars that started as virtual unknown yet have proven their acting skills over the years and have now established themselves in Hollywood. Amongst these 15 stars is actress Kristen Stewart.

An air of intelligent vulnerability separates Stewart from just about any young actress working today. She’s not a commanding diva, but a young woman still sensitive to the outside world and her own emotions. It might surprise you to go back to David Fincher’s “Panic Room” and rediscover Stewart as Jodie Foster’s daughter, upping the intensity with a portrait of genuine childhood terror.

She added “Zathura,” “Into the Wild” and “Adventureland” to her stable of conflicted characters, but the “Twilight” franchise made her a worldwide icon. Stewart held together two not-so-sturdily crafted films by playing Bella Swan as a girl out of her depths, reconciling the world of vampires with the instincts of her own heart. Stewart isn’t eye candy or the “it” girl. She’s the Everygirl, struggling with how to feel and how to act. That’s why she’s a movie star. We can relate.

Anna Kendrick and Peter Facinelli both attended the 10th Annual AFI Awards 2009 hedl last Friday, January 15, 2009 at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills. Anna picked up an Award of Execellence plaque for her movie, Up in the Air.She picked up the award together with director Jason Reitman.

Ashley Greene on the other hand was spotted at the Golden Globes Style Lounge in Beverly Hills yesterday, January 15. Ashley totted her dog, Marlow together with her.

Lastly, Kellan Lutz was spotted with Melrose Place actress Katie Cassidy at the launch party for the new Lisa Kline Boutique Division -E’s Spring Collection in Los Angeles last Thursday night.

During the event, Kellan was asked by E!Online regarding rumors that he auditioned for the remake of Conan the Barbarian. The Twilight actor has confirmed that he indeed auditioned for the role and that if he ever gets the role, it would be a dream come true.

“It’s something that I’ve been actively going after because I’d die to put the weight back on,” he told us at last night’s Division-E party at Lisa Kline in L.A. “I’m tired of playing young; I want to be the big guy that I was.”

“I’ve been auditioning,” Kellan, 24, said. “They’re finalizing so they’re trying to figure out what happens next. I’ve been waiting for a while, doing screen tests. There are just so many cooks in the kitchen. If it happens, it happens…Regardless, it’s not gonna be the new Arnold Schwarzenegger type of movie, no one’s going to try and play that role. I think they’re going younger, a different type of story. I’m just excited, because the script is great.”
