Thanks for posting that interview. I find it confusing being that I have communicated with Vicki since that interview came out and my impression was that she didn't want anything further to do with the Runaways in her life; maybe I just caught her on a bad day. When I asked her about the Director's Cut for Edgeplay she did say it was ready to go but when I asked when it would be available she didn't answer. Hmmmm.

That interview was from June, when the Edgeplay dvd was finally being released in Australia, after The Runaways movie had sparked a new interest in the band.

Yeah, That interview is from 6 months ago.....
I asked Jim & Lita was Vicki producing their TV SHOW Reality show and they said NO !!!
I think what Vicki did was film the pilot to pitch it to networks but according to what Lita & Jim told me she wasn't producing it.
I have been very worried about Lita & Jim and The Boys.
They have kinda disappeared from Facebook & Myspace and they just stopped talking to the fans including me. I haven't heard from them in over 6 months.
I hope that they are just busy with recording of the show and in the studio and just really busy.
I just worry about them and thats all I can say on that matter.
btw- I'm dying to see the uncut version of Edgeplay !!!

It hasn't been confirmed yet of what network.
I was in contact with both Jim & Lita like I said until 6 months or so ago and they were so nice to me that I can't thank them enough for all the great items they gave me and the endless hours we chatted.
When It is confirmed I will let you guys know.
But, They have suddenly disappeared from the fans so I don't know if it will happen or not.
Let's hope for a wonderful year for The Gillettes !!!

Did you guys read what Joan said in a brand new interview? This is just too Funny !!!! Calls from Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga would fall on deaf ears. "I'd have to know what they want from me, what the deal is," she says. "Why in the world would they be asking me on their record? If it's just for, you know, the genre hop, well, that's not for me. I've never been a genre-hopper.Edgeplay is a brutally revealing documentary by the band's one-time bass player, Victory Tischler-Blue. In stark contrast to the biopic, which focuses almost exclusively on the Jett- Currie relationship, Edgeplay shows the lingering damage and bitterness among the former "jailbait rock" group via candid interviews with all members - all except Jett, that is.
"Oh yeah, I saw it," she spits. "I didn't wanna be involved because I didn't want to do a Jerry Springer show.
"For me, it always comes back to the music and to have everybody whining about who did what to who - it's like talking about what you did in high school. I don't understand that the girls didn't see the broader picture and didn't have more fun. Is that all it was to them?"
But Tischler-Blue claims the first cut of her film was about the Runaways' music. She'd spent years assembling the footage for a retrospective concert document. It was only after Jett refused to license the songs, Tischler-Blue says, that she was forced to recut her footage to squabbling heads.
Jett considers this for a tense moment, then responds with rising passion. "Why would I let them use it? To put out this sh*tty documentary about the Runaways? That was me saying, ‘No, you can't use the songs that I wrote in the band I started to sit there and pick apart something I care about!'
"I guess I just had a different view of what we were and what it was. Maybe it was just a passing fad for everybody else. I don't know. For me, it was a mission."

I see here a typical situation when the history (as opposed to story) is to be told. Or not. Of great things past as is the story of The Runaways.
Scholars say that history is written by the victorious, although that applies more to ancient history than to modern history, which is what the Runaways story and history is now (2010): Modern.
The tendency is, according to the individual person that is telling the story, that she (yes, *she*. I am referring to The Runaways) is that she wants the written history to reflect what she thought was the better part of what actually happened and leave out (which is NOT lying), the unsavory, but still real parts.
On the other side (if you can call it "other side") is one that just wants to tell as much as she can by just telling the individual "episodes" of what happened and letting the reader decide what to do with them (interpret, that is; assuming that there's *anything* to interpret beyond the literal tale of what happened).
And on the other hand is the one that wants to shape how the band is remembered. An honest effort to 'clean up' (as if there was something to clean up which this author does not think there was), and present the band in the most positive light possible, glossing over the not so savory details. Which I understand.
I was a 16 yr. old lead guitarist in the mid 1960s and some of my former band mates remember things differently of what happened to us, for example :-)
Peace!
