Newly single Rob Pattinson was seen driving in Los Feliz with a striking young female who has been identified as Riley Keough – Elvis’s granddaughter! Ironically, Rob, 27, and Riley, 23, were most likely introduced by his ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart when Kristen and Riley appeared together in The Runaways. Riley has a yen for young English actors- she was recently engaged to Alex Pettyfer.
Riley Keough, best known as Elvis’s granddaughter, is making a name for herself in Hollywood. She started modeling at 14 and landed her first role in “The Runaways” just last year. Since then she’s done two more movies- “The Good Doctor” with Orlando Bloom, and “Jack and Diane” with Kylie Minogue. Now she’s negotiating to appear in the next post-apocalyptic Mad Max movie with Tom Hardy called “Fury Road.” She’ll play a woman he’s protecting from bad guys. She’s got the look.

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.

A blast from the past: Kristen Stewart, who plays Joan Jett in “The Runaways” is pictured here with DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, (“The Mayor of Sunset Strip”) who helped make the all-girl band famous on his radio show, Rodney on the ROQ, back in 1975. In the movie, Rodney is played by an actor named Kier O’Donnell, and for those of you who know Rodney, we hear it’s a great imitation.

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.
