The countdown begins. A lot of people are eagerly anticipating the release of “The Runaways” next year. This was a revolutionary jailbait band in the drugged up 70’s – all the girls were 16 and under. Kristen Stewart is playing Joan Jett and she’s already drawn a lot of attention to the movie. The story is based on the book by bandmember Cherie Currie called “Neon Angel.” The photo above features the real Cherie Currie, who just turned 50, on her right is Dakota Fanning who plays Cherie in the movie and on her left is Riley Keough, who plays her sister Marie Currie.

Elvis’s granddaughter Danielle Riley Keough, 20, (as she is now known) was modeling for awhile, but she recently got a big break and was cast in “The Runaways” with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Dakota is playing band member Cherie Curry and Danielle plays her sister Marie. (Remember, Danielle was once stepdaughter to Michael Jackson!) It’ll be interesting to see if Danielle has any acting talent.

"The Secret Life of Bees" Dakota Fanning Jada Pinkett Queen Latifah

THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES IS A JADA PINKETT-SMITH PRODUCTION

Jada Pinkett-Smith looks pretty snappy here with her long hair and red heels and she has good reason to be on top of the world. She executive produced a movie she can be proud of: “The Secret Life of Bees.” It takes place in South Carolina in 1964 at the height of racial turmoil. It’s a surprisingly endearing story of a motherless child (Dakota Fanning) who finds a place in the home of a woman with a thriving honey farm (Queen Latifah.) It IS a girly movie, but thoroughly enjoyable. Congratulations to Jada for her good taste!

Child Stars Dakota Fanning

DAKOTA FANNING: SHOPPING LIKE THE BIG GIRLS

Dakota Fanning,13, is shopping in Beverly Hills, but not alone – her mom is just out of the picture. She’s very hip in her skinny jeans – chances are she can barely bend her knees in them – just like Madonna’s daughter Lourdes. (What IS Lourdes’s last name, anyway?) We think Dakota looks like a mini Cameron Diaz today.
