Who else is loving all these new interviews? E! Online had the chance to talk to Dakota and Kristen as well.

The new film The Runaways is really all about “sex, drugs and rock and roll,” as Joan Jett told us today at the Luxe Hotel for the film’s junket. (Also, it’s a must-see, totally cool.)

Let’s hit sex first: We all know by now that stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning share a big wet kiss onscreen, but that isn’t the only racy thing this film has to offer. With Dakota snorting drugs off the floor and spewing some foul language, it’s clear this film is a huge departure from the squeaky-clean New Moon, where everyone’s celibate and mopey.

Not exactly family fare here, folks.

So what do Stewart and Fanning’s own parents think about their babies going at it onscreen? We asked:

Kristen Stewart talked to Access Hollywood about the kissing scene in The Runaways.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. –

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning share a smooch in their new rock ‘n’ roll movie, “The Runaways,” but Kristen said one thing got in the way – the law.

“She was 15, and I wasn’t allowed to grope her,” Kristen, 19, told Access Hollywood on Wednesday at the press junket for her new rocker film. “I’m actually not kidding, there are major restrictions that I don’t remember [from] when I was younger.

“I don’t want to give anything way. It’s a really passionate, hardcore scene,” she continued. “No, it’s just a kiss. It’s not really a big deal.”

“It’s just something that happened in their lives,” Dakota told Access of the kissing scene. “In the script, it’s not like a big build up or something that they talk about afterwards.”

The two play teenage members of ‘70s all-girl rock act The Runaways, starring as the iconic Joan Jett (Kristen) and Cherie Currie (Dakota).

“It looks great in the movie, but we are not close to the musicians that they are,” Kristen said.

But the two loved looking like rock stars – and plan to share their outfits with the women who inspired the film.

“I loved the outfits, I kept most all of them,” Dakota said. “Cherie gave her corsets away and we had them remade for the movie, [so] I’m going to give her one and I think that will be really cool.”

“I gave Joan a leather jacket,” Kristen said. “I wrote all over the back of it.”

So exciting! Dakota did lots of press for The Runaways yesterday which is now starting to hit the net. Here’s MTV’s rough cut interview.

BRENTWOOD, California — It’s been said that every movie star wants to be a rocker and that every rocker yearns to act. Over the years, everyone from David Bowie to Keanu Reeves to Tyson Ritter has proven that point, with varying results.

“The Runaways,” opening April 9, tells the true story of teenage girls from the ’70s growing up fast in the rock-and-roll lifestyle. In real life, actors Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have been living as teenage girls in the ’00s growing up fast with the lifestyle of movie superstars. But if there were any urge to someday go all Billy Bob Thornton, the two claim the biopic got it out of their systems.

“We couldn’t be more [like rockers],” Stewart explained of the gig portraying Joan Jett during her early days in the hard-partying all-girl band. “This is the biggest opportunity to be a rock star.”

Dakota and Kristen Stewart talked to IESB about The Runaways.

he Runaways sees actresses Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning take on the roles of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie for the music-fueled, coming-of-age story of the groundbreaking, all-girl 1970’s rock band.

The drama tells the story of two teenage Valley girls who become the heart and soul of the seminal all-girl band whose success impacted rock music history and paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Instrumental to the young actresses’ ability to portray these women authentically was the fact that both Jett and Currie were on set and available to talk to.

At the film’s press day, co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who also appear in the Twilight Saga films together, talked about tackling these roles, their own experiences with stardom and fans, and how much they loved their wardrobe.

Q: What was it like for you guys to get into playing Joan Jett and Cherie Currie? Kristen, you and Joan seem to have a similar energy, but Dakota, you seem so different from Cherie Currie. How was it to portray these women?

Dakota: I think it’s a huge departure from other roles that I’ve played, and me, in real life. It’s obviously very different from things that I’ve done before, and it will be different for people to see, but I like that. I like surprising people with different things that I can do. That’s what I love to do. And, I hope to do more roles like this, in the future.
