At some point, everybody dreams of being a famous musician, touring around the world and performing for screaming crowds. Everyone can also relate to the movie star dream, imagining moving to Hollywood, making hugely successful movies and walking red carpets looking glamorous. Recently, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning premiered their upcoming rock biopic “The Runaways” at Sundance, enjoying the best of both fantasies before either one has turned 20.

Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart have definitely taken on a wide variety of movies since their child-star beginnings. But the two “New Moon” stars certainly strayed from their comfort zone for “The Runaways,” the biopic about the highly influential 1970s all-girl rock band. Not only did they kiss each other, they also had to sing for their supper as Cherie Currie (Fanning) and Joan Jett (Stewart).

While George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, and practically every other celeb in the world helped raise more than $57 Million for Haiti relief, one star was upset she couldn’t partake in the telethon last Friday: Kristen Stewart.
The Twilight babe was traveling Friday to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, ’cause K.Stew had two films (Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways) premiering.
But don’t think that stopped her from helping out…

At the premiere for Welcome to the Rileys, the film’s producers, Giovanni Agnelli and Scott Bloom, filled us in on Kristen’s idea of how to help raise money for Haiti.
K.Stew & Co. raised cash by hosting four lucky ladies in Park City. The fortunate four paid handsomely for the privilege of a free plane ticket, a place to stay and the pleasure of Kristen’s company.
“They paid, like, a thousand dollars a piece for tickets which went to support the cause for Haiti,” says Agnelli.
Adds Bloom:
“Kristen on the plane here said [she was upset] she could not be doing the telethon…So we decided to use all that money to benefit Haiti.”
Don’t ya just heart this girl? Glad to hear she’s a celebrity who knows how to use her star power for good.
Also, anyone else just a tad curious where Kristen was traveling from all day Friday? Just an FYI: It only takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get from L.A. to Salt Lake City.
But a trip from, oh say, England perhaps, certainly would make you completely unavailable for quite some time.
Just sayin’!

Are you ready for a Twilight-American Idol mash-up?
Supposedly, Simon Cowell wants to sign Robert Pattinson to a major record label deal, according to the U.K. Sun. The newspaper claims a bidding war has broken out and the cranky judge is so keen on scoring the sparkle vamp, he’s reportedly all but written him a blank check.
As any Twihard knows, Pattz plays the piano and guitar and has even contributed tracks to the movie soundtracks.
But the hottie isn’t budging.
“Robert is reluctant to be turned into a pop star—he takes his music very seriously,” a source tells the Sun. “He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with X-Factor and pop.”
Still, can you even contain your squeals?!

Although it might be surprising to fans of “New Moon” to have co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning share a kiss in their new movie “The Runaways,” the ladies insist that they never really thought of it as an issue. In fact, when MTV News caught up with the actresses at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, where they were promoting the rock biopic, they kind of shrugged off the hype.
