Kirsten Dunst, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart and boyfriend Robert Pattinson were all on hand last night for the Cannes premiere of ‘On the Road’.

Kristen wore a dress by Balenciaga (again), and looks really beautiful. Boyfriend Robert Pattinson flew in to be with Kristen at the premiere. (SEE SOME PICTURES OF THEM KISSING AT CANNES HERE! I don’t have rights to the pictures – but they’re good!)

Kirsten Dunst is wearing  a pink dress by Dior. I think she looks beautiful, but no where near as beautiful as she looked earlier.

Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Stewart were spotted yesterday at Cannes Film Festival, promoting their new movie, ‘On the Road’.

Kirsten looks absolutely stunning. She’s wearing a gorgeous dress by Dolce & Gabbana. Has she ever looked better? I’m loving her hair, makeup, headband (I want that!!) and shoes!

Kristen looks cute too, she’s wearing pants by Balenciaga.

Kristen Stewart was desperate to shrug off her good-girl image after filming the ‘Twilight’ movies. She found exactly what she was looking for with the carefree sexuality of her character in ‘On the Road’.

Stewart, 22, has said that after portraying the innocent Bella, baring it all as the uninhibited Marylou in the screen adaption of Jack Kerouac’s classic novel ‘On the Road’ was refreshing.

“I love pushing, I love scaring myself. I think to watch genuine experience on screen is just so much more interesting,” the Los Angeles-born star told reporters.

“The reason I wanted to do the job is because, you know, you read something, you’re provoked on some level and then it’s just taking that further and being able to live it and I always want to get as close to the experience as I possibly can.

“As long as you’re always being really honest, there’s nothing ever to be ashamed of.”

“On the Road”, Kerouac’s autobiographical tale about his wandering years in the late 1940s and early 1950s, presents his alter ego Sal Paradise, who is mesmerised by a charismatic drifter called Dean Moriarty.

Stewart, who also appeared in Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild”, plays Moriarty’s free-spirited and outspoken wife who becomes his long-time mistress after they divorce while she carries on dalliances with Paradise and others.

“Obviously I love Marylou — the character is very vivid and she jumps right off the page, she smacks you in the face, you know, with her tongue,” she said.

She noted that the women in the story get more attention in the film than in the novel and said that one can see Marylou, who leaves the carousing Moriarty to marry a sailor, as the picture’s central figure.

“She’s so completely human, she never made herself a commodity. If you were to choose one character that really, truly embodied the spirit of this book it was her,” she said.

Stewart drew generally positive reviews after a politely received screening of the film, with movie industry website Indiewire saying that “seeing her liberated from the silly straitjacket of servile moping she has to perform in the ‘Twilight’ films is a huge relief”.

“On the Road” is up against 21 other films for the festival’s coveted Palme d’Or top prize including David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” starring Stewart’s on- and off-screen partner Robert Pattinson.

I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. I really think it’s going to be good – and I can’t wait to see what the critics have to say about it!

Here are some new pictures of Kristen at the airport on her way to Cannes. I’ll have some pictures of her on the red carpet soon!

Apparently there’s a rumor going around that actors Garrett Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst are engaged. Not so fast, says Garrett’s rep. According to his rep, the couple is NOT engaged.

Editors at Star magazine ran with the engagement news this week, claiming Hedlund popped the question to the actress at her 30th birthday party at Los Angeles hotspot Chateau Marmont on April 30.

A source said, “(He) asked her to marry him. She thought he was kidding because there was no engagement ring – but he told her one would be coming soon, and they kissed passionately for about a minute. Everyone applauded!”

But a spokesperson for the “TRON: Legacy” hunk has dismissed the rumors, telling WENN, “(The report is) so not true.”

Hedlund and Dunst met on the set of “On the Road,” the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the Jack Kerouac book, and went public with their romance at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah in January.

Here is the couple arriving at LAX last night.

I have something really embarrassing to admit. I’ve never read ‘On the Road’. I actually own it, I’ve just never sat down and read it. I know it’s one of those books that I must read, I just haven’t done it yet. After reading about this movie, and learning more about the book, I realize how important it is to sit down and read the Jack Kerouac book. I’m going to have to read it before I watch the movie.

Anyway, this movie has been done for quite some time, and we’re just now getting our first look at the trailer. I’m not sure what took so long. Maybe they were trying to put some space between Kristen Stewart’s last Twilight film – and this one? Who knows. I hope the reason it’s been shelved for so long – isn’t that the movie is awful. It looks like it could be interesting. Kristen actually doesn’t look like Bella in this movie, either (like she does in her new Snow White movie).

British actor Sam Riley stars as Sal Paradise, the narrator based on Kerouac himself, and “Tron: Legacy’s” Garrett Hedlund plays Dean Moriarty.

Also receiving top billing is “Twilight’s” Kristen Stewart, who plays Moriarty’s 16-year-old first wife Marylou. Will Stewart remove her bottom lip from in between her teeth and do the role justice? That remains to be seen. (The fact that her shirtlessness in the trailer is getting press bodes well for ticket sales.)

Those who love “On the Road” may be weary of any attempt to bring it the big screen. For what it’s worth, Kerouac — who was born 90 years ago today — wrote a letter to Marlon Brando in 1957 asking him to play Moriarty in a film. Brando, sadly, never replied.

One thing the film has going for it is Walter Salles, who directed another road story movie, “The Motorcycle Diaries.” It also boasts an impressive supporting cast, including Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss and Terrence Howard.

What do you think of the trailer?

Here are the new images from the big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel On the Road.

Actors Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund look über-cool enough to play the lead roles of the Beat Generation’s most famous protagonists.

Here’s the synopsis:

After the death of his father, Sal Paradise, a young writer from New York, meets Dean Moriarty, a young and dangerously seductive rebel. The immediately click. Determined not to get stuck in a mediocre life, Sal and Dean hit the road. With a thirst for freedom, they explore the world and travel to meet others and find themselves.

Have any of you read the book? I’m dying to read it! Maybe I’ll start that tonight…
