Here’s Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart performing “Cherry Bomb”.
What did you think?
Dakota Fanning celebrated her 16th birthday with a low-key dinner with friends and family in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The War of the Worlds star – who will mark the milestone age on Tuesday – hosted a sweet 16 bash at Beverly Hills hotspot Villa Blanca with around 40 guests, including her parents.
Fanning was presented with a three-tier chocolate mousse birthday cake during the celebrations, according to E! Online, and partied until 11pm with her pals.
A source tells the website, “She looked like she was having fun and was really cool. She was talking to her friends and laughing all night.”

Dakota Fanning claims it wasn’t “a big deal” kissing Kristen Stewart in her new movie.
The star – who plays Cherie Currie in ‘The Runaways’ about the highly influential 1970s all-girl rock band – says her onscreen smooch with co-star Kristen was anything but awkward.
Speaking at the movie’s Sundance Film Festival premiere, she said: “It wasn’t that big of a deal. It’s just another part of the story. This kiss was passionate – Joan and Cherie were just as close as two could get.”
The 15-year-old actress – who dons high heels and skin-tight bodysuits for the role – said she was given all the outfits to keep after shooting the movie.
She said: “I kept all the wardrobe. I can break it out again some day.”
Dakota also revealed Kristen took a few odd souvenirs home with her as well.
She said: “I kept most of my wardrobe because it is so cool. I know Kristen took some items too, like dog and cat collars. I’m not sure when she plans to wear them but she’ll be rocking quite a look when she does.”
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways. The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie’s tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.
Lots more pictures from the film after the cut! (more…)
I love Dakota Fanning. I hope she stays virginal and sweet forever.

JANE
Full Name: Jane
Status: Vampire
Group: Volturi Coven
Date of Birth: Unknown
Date of Transformation: Unknown but at a young age
Special Abilities: Ability to inflict debilitating pain with her thoughts
“This may hurt just a little.”
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
Jane is a high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. The Volturi were waiting to change her and her brother Alec until she was older, but humans—believing her and her brother to be witches—tried to burn them at the stake, which forced Aro to act while the twins were little more than children. Jane’s experience with the pain of burning alive shaped her into a potent weapon – she developed the ability to inflict immense pain on others with only a look.
VOLTURI
1) The Volturi include: Aro, Caius, and Marcus as the leaders, and then Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, and several other unnamed members of the guard.
2) The Volturi are similar to a ruling body, and protect the secret of vampires by wiping out any “problems” as vampire law defines.
3) The Volturi live in an ancient Tuscan city called “Volterra”.
4) Aro and Jane’s powers do not work on Bella.
Director Chris Weitz on the Volturi –
“No matter how strange one of the characters is in a work of fantasy, I think you have to approach them as people and then so you start to think, ‘They’ve been around for 2,000 years. How would they interact with one another?’ The conclusion was that after 2,000 years you’d probably be more than mildly insane. No matter how cultured or gracious you appear on the surface. And I think that’s what Michael Sheen managed to portray as Aro, the head of the Volturi — on the surface he’s terribly gracious, warm, a wonderful host and at the same time he’s lethal and frightening. It’s also what Dakota Fanning conveys as Jane. She’s innocent looking in appearance but she’s absolutely deadly. The first thing I wanted to do was put them in a setting that wasn’t Dracula’s castle. There have been so many vampire movies and werewolf movies and horror movies where everything has been dark and dreary. Instead, their headquarters is surprisingly light and crisp. And the characters that they play have a kind of a tactile reality to them in spite of how bizarre their situation is really. The whole point is not to leave Forks, Washington where everything has really been quite realistic and then suddenly go to a location that completely throws you out of the movie. And the set although it’s huge and grand and magnificent actually feels like a real place.”
