Carmen Electra looks seductive with her hair over one eye as she leaves the Roxy after watching Joan Jett perform. We wonder if she’s still friendly with Prince, who discovered her and named her in the early 90’s. She’s holding hands with a colorful character who resembles Courtney >Stodden’s recent date.

Elvis’s granddaughter Riley Keough is pictured here leaving the House of Blues where she saw Joan Jett perform. Apparently, rumors of her dating Rob Pattinson proved to be untrue – she was misidentified as the redhead riding in his car, but it turned out to be somebody else. Too bad.

Suddenly Joan Jett is everywhere – thanks to “ The Runaways” movie, and we’re glad to see her. Somehow she ended up at a Scottish charity event held in New York and hosted by Sean Connery, called “Dressed to Kilt.” Celebrities and designers showed off their kilt inspired fashion (we’re MAD for kilts) and we picked Joan’s version as our favorite. We’re not so sure about the feather mohawk, but the skirt is heaven.
Setsiders on “The Runaways” are perplexed by Joan Jett’s continuing presence on the set. The movie is based on bandmember Cherie Currie’s book “Neon Angel” and it’s actually about HER experiences, but she’s nowhere to be seen. Joan is always around and she’s “friendly and nice to everyone” but no one can figure out why she’s such a fixture on the set while the other original bandmembers are not. It’s a mystery. One observer asked “How much tutoring does Kirsten Stewart need?”

The more you look at the 1977 Brad Elterman photo of Joan Jett, the easier it is to see why she cast Kristen Stewart to play herself in “The Runaways.” When the old photo was taken, Joan probably WAS a teenage runaway. She’s pictured on the corner of Hollywood and Highland, which has actually changed a lot more than SHE has. And those are some shoes she’s rockin.’

We love seeing Joan Jett and Kristen Stewart hanging out together as they prepare for “The Runaways.” Kristen is soaking up Joan’s personality and metamorphosizing into playing Joan in the movie. She was hand-picked by producer Jett and they’ve been spending a lot of time in a recording studio. Maybe Kristen will actually sing.

A lot of young actresses and singers were ACHING to land the role of Joan Jett in “The Runaways” as soon as the movie was announced. After auditioning many important faces, producer Joan Jett selected “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart. At first it seemed an odd choice, but since Kristen dyed her hair black and cut it in a shag, we’re starting to think she’ll be great. Click here to take a look at Joan’s biggest hit “I Love Rock N Roll.”

FLASHBACK: Our friend Brad Elterman shot this photo of Joan Jett back around 1977, after her mother kicked her out of the house. The Runaways bandmember moved into the Tropicana Motor Hotel in West Hollywood where all the rockstars stayed. Here she is chatting on the phone with her then-girlfriend Lisa, looking like a typical teenager.
How cute are these two rockers? Apparently Joan “I Love Rock n Roll” Jett took a shine to Josie “Johnny, Are You Queer?” Cotton when they both performed at Gay Pride LA last week. Joan’s frequent companion, Carmen Electra, was nowhere to be seen this year. While many females in the audience drooled over icon Joan, she only had eyes for Josie. Jett was overheard inviting Josie to her upcoming concert in San Diego. Stay tuned!

Joan Jett and Carmen Electra keep leading us on regarding this “romance” of theirs. When Carmen announced she’d be playing Joan’s lesbian lover in her video, she also added that she’d had a big crush on her since she was a young girl. Suddenly they started spending all sorts of time together and we don’t know WHAT to think. Nowadays it’s not politically correct to protest if you’re accused of being in a gay relationship or it looks like you’re insulting the gay lifestyle. Does Carmen WANT us to assume she traded in Dave Navarro for Joan Jett, or does she think it’s just good publicity? Either way, they DO make an adorable couple, don’t you think?
