My 'friend' got every girl in my class to obsess over Twilight and that annoyed the hell out of me. I read the books to get her off of my back and I couldn't help but laugh at each one. Sparkling? No fangs? Sparkling? Werewolves morph whenever they feel like it? No more howling at the moon? Those books put Stephenie Meyer on my list of 'People I want to Punch in the Face' (I make a lot of lists, alright?). She has the number one spot.

Oh you poor girl. My ex didn't even bother trying to get me to read the books. Well she may have but i tried to block out her voice whenever 'Twilight' was placed into a conversation.
I freaked out the other day while i was flipping through one of Mum's magazines and they had a pic of Kristen and Joanie!! . . . Made my day.

I did the same thing! I was going through Us Weekly (which no one in my house subscribed to so we get it for free ;D) and I saw one of my favorite pictures of Kristen next to a pic of Joan that was in a little circle. That was the highlight of my week (because the day before that my friend told me that lesbians freaked her out. *sigh*)

Hahaha! RAWR!! Nah we're not that bad. . . Ah funny stuff. Well at least my current girlfriend doesn't go on about Twilight. She's 19 and it's soccer instead, she got a scholarship for soccer for some university in the U.S. BACK ON TOPIC: Yeah the one i saw had one of those pics where they're both leaving the studio together. Mum rolled her eyes and went back to cooking heh heh. I still can't picture the words said during that scene where Kristen is on the car roof and Dakota's ass is hanging out of the door window. I can only imagine haha!

It's probably something that has nothing to do with the story of the band. Well, in my head it does anyway. I imagine something stupid like this:
Sandy: "Holy crap im about to hit the ground! It's okay my buff arms will save me" Lita: "God i look good" Robin: *thinks hard* i wish i looked that good. . . Joan: "Oh look! A squirrel!" *jumps on car roof* Cherie: "Wow there's a free burger in this car. . ."
You can see why im still in school hehehe.

Hahaha! Oh god, your imagination is just too great! I'm thinking: Joan: Okay, so I'll jump on the car and keep a lookout. Cherie you go through all the sh*t and see what you like. Cherie: Oh my god, a white corset! I think I'm going to wear this on stage! (Don't worry, I know how she actually got the corset) Lita: I wonder if there's going to be any hot guys at the party tonight... Robin: *sigh* Why can't I be as pretty as the rest of the band? Why won't anybody love me! Sandy: Okay guys, so I'm thinking after this, we'll go hit some waves then crash that party. We'll steal all their beer and TP their house. Sound like a plan?

Kristen's latest interview about playing Joan... Dazed Digital: You are in the midst of becoming a huge star. There’s a truckload of paparazzi outside the door right now. Kristen Stewart: Yeah, but you can’t think about it too much because if you think about it too much it is this weird and dreamy fantasy land – you think – ‘ what the hell absurd thing are we doing at 3 o’clock in the morning, with 300 people- pretending to be other people, what the f**k are we doing?
DD: The paparazzi thing is only since Twilight, right? Kristen Stewart: Yeah since Twilight. That’s the only reason they’re out there. They find out where I am from the Internet - from Twitter, man! Anyone who wants to know where I am at any given time just has to go on Twitter, it’s so ridiculous!
DD: I assume playing Joan Jett is a lot different experience from Twilight? Kristen Stewart: It’s so much fun. She’s the ultimate badass. She was the first woman to start her own record label. Everybody threw her out after the Runaways and was like, ‘Sorry girl, your shticks over’, she was like ‘No, the message stays the same people still want to hear it.' Who the f**k did that before her? The music industry is brutal. Once there’s one wave, one explosion of a type of music, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and tries to emulate that, so there’s a bunch of s***ty versions of other bands. So there’s like s***ty versions of everybody!
DD: You identify with this role in more ways than one, I’m sure. The film and music industry are not so far apart. Kristen Stewart: Yeah, it’s been awesome working on this. I’ve gotten to do a lot of great roles recently. I just made a film in New Orleans- and its going to sound funny because I play a 16 year old street kid prostitute stripper – but it’s the one film so far I mostly identify with. I play such a child, like she has the emotional stability of a 5 year old; she’s in her own little world that she had to close off at a certain point. She’s at that point where she’s not quite over the edge like a lot of those people, and I met a lot of them in New Orleans, talking to people who had done the job for so long. They’re gone. Like I hate to say that, there is a part of them that is dead inside and it is so sad they can still live a happy life or whatever, but that part is. So she’s not dead, she’s still whole. She’s just really broken and she needs to be put back together, and she needs this guy. James Gandolfini plays this plumber who is grieving the loss of his daughter and is dead inside as well, so she is sort of the catalyst of his awakening and subsequent reuniting with his wife, like she comes out of the house after 8 years. Like this vulgar really fully kid who has her own problems greater than theirs ends up helping to get them to a place where they can continue their lives. It was the greatest experience on a movie I have ever had. Everyone was tight and it was the greatest crew, Jake Scott, the director, is Ridley Scott’s son. For some reason on that one, I didn’t stop thinking all day. Now, keep in mind, I had a perfect upbringing, but I know what that feels in some way, to be this character. It was really hard. But they’re really funny and they make the most of it. They’re really great characters. www.dazeddigital.com/article/4373/1/YoungBloodKristenStewart

I wonder who Kristen Stewart is the s***ty version of. Kidding, kidding (but I will still vow to hate her forever if she screws this role up...)

I didn't think she was the best choice to play Joan but you gotta love that picture of her in the red jump suit - kinda changed my mind on that.

Kristen has another interview in which she talks about playing Joan. www.collider.com/2009/11/06/kristen-stewart-interview-the-twilight-saga-new-moon/Question: How did you balance playing Bella and then playing a character like Joan Jett?
Stewart: I can only play characters that I feel like are real people and in a complete way and in such a whole way that if I fake any aspect of it I will have failed them and literally they’re slaughtered and they don’t get…it’s like these characters, they don’t exist anymore unless I do it. So in terms of approaching parts thank God I don’t have to do that. It just happens. Joan. I got to know Joan not only as her now but I feel like through footage and just through the script and the story, everything, I feel like I got to know who she was in such a whole way that it’s not about imitating even though I was really concerned about details being right, gestures and stuff. I really wanted to do a good impersonation but I also didn’t want it to be imitation. I wanted it to be natural. Playing Joan Jett had nothing to do with Bella. It was a small period of time that I had to do it but it was an opportunity that I jumped on and it was going to go away [if I hadn't]. I would’ve liked more time but like I said about walking on set, seeing all the characters and Rob and Taylor, it’s instantly easy to get right back into the right mindset. That’s vague but I what I do is so vague. Literally, what I do is so oddly ambiguous.

She bugs the f*ck outta me because she is ALWAYS complaining about being a movie star. I love what comedienne Chelsea Handler said about her "if you don't wanna be a star go manage a Gap during the day and do local theater at night".
