The first picture from the upcoming film THE RUNAWAYS has hit the Sundance website.  The pic features Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie.  The film tells the rise and struggles of one of the first all girl, teenage rock bands (The Runaways) that were just as famous for their music as they were for their hardcore partying and rock-star lifestyles.  The film also stars Michael Shannon and Tatum O’Neal and is directed by Floria Sigismondi, who also wrote the screenplay.

This is a chance for Stewart to prove she’s more than just the whiny Bella from TWILIGHT.  Music bios are always a good time and it seems like the Runaways have a very exciting story.

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” tore up the box office record for best opening day, grabbing the title away from Warner Bros. “The Dark Knight,” and earning a spectacular $72.7 million yesterday at 4,024 theaters.

An exceptional feat for a film playing outside the summer frame.

There were an array of estimates being reported on the internet about how high the first day of “New Moon” actually was. This morning’s figure is Summit’s official Friday estimate.

“Dark Knight” had minted $67.2 million from 4,366 runs on July 18, 2008 before making a three-day opening weekend of $158.4 million.

Kristen Stewart is baring it all.

The Twilight star will appear nude in an upcoming indie flick, “Welcome to the Rileys,” also starring James Gandolfini. The “Twilight” star plays the role of a 16-year-old lap dancer and prostitute, Mallory.

The movie tells the story of how Mallory reunites a grieving couple (Gandolfini and Oscar nominee, Melissa Leo) who have fallen apart after the death of their young daughter eight years before. The speculation is that Stewart will strip in several scenes.

“It’s an independent movie that nobody would normally see and now it’s like, ‘Oh, let’s go see Bella in this stripper movie—it’ll be crazy!” the actress told WENN.com.

Also coming up for Stewart is her role playing Joan Jett in “The Runaways” due next year, and the next two movies in “The Twilight Saga.”

It looks like Kristen Stewart has replaced her best friend Nikki Reed.

Robert Pattinson’s onscreen lover has been spending more and more time with Ashley Greene and new girl Dakota Fanning.

The trio have been eating lunch together away from the New Moon boys.

Nikki and Kristen have been really close ever since filming Twilight and enjoyed spending lots of time hanging out in Vancouver.
