Adorably, Dakota Fanning told MTV News that her first concert-going experience was provided by none other than Alicia Keys , her costar in 2008’s The Secret Life of Bees . “I never went to concerts until very recently, and I was doing a movie with Alicia Keys so I went to her concert,” she said. Alicia confirmed to MTV, “Yes, that’s true. She came to my L.A. show for my last tour and it was her first concert. We had just finished a movie, Secret Life of Bees , together … and I was so happy to be her first concert… She’s an amazing person, an incredibly talented lady. She’s gonna be someone we watch flourish for many years. And I’m glad she will always say her first concert was me.” Dakota’s story got everyone in the Crushable office reminiscing fondly about our own first concerts (children’s shows that your parents took you to, like “Sharon, Lois, and Bram Live,” not included). My first concert was Hanson . I was 11. It was an arena full of screaming teenage girls. Looking back, I admire my poor parents for being such troopers. Crushable’s Amanda says her first concert was in sixth grade at the Z100 Jingle Ball , featuring Aerosmith and Chumbawamba . Elaine , b5media CEO (the big boss!), says “My first concert was Madonna ’s “Material Girl” tour. I wore my pink crop top and matching pants with my jelly bracelets. I was in the 6th grade and somehow managed to get to the front row. I have never missed a Madonna concert since. Perhaps I was spoiled with my first cause nothing ever seems to live up to that night (yes I’m still talking about the concert)!!” Lilit from TheGloss says “My friend Leah and I went to see The Rembrandts play a free show at the North Carolina State Fair. They were the band who did the Friends theme song. I think they had some other songs, but I don’t remember.” Jennifer from TheGloss says “My first concert was for Celine Dion . It was right after Titanic had come out and I was 11. In retrospect, this wasn’t the coolest concert to have gone to, but it seemed that way at the time. As did the neon blue bindi I was wearing. I made a lot of bad decisions at 11.” What was your first concert? Post from: Crushable

Kristen Stewart made a stop on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to promote The Runaways , and last night it was her costar Dakota Fanning ’s turn. She took some time to answer some fans’ video questions, including one from Kristen herself, who wanted to know “What is it like to kiss Kristen Stewart?” Awkward. Thankfully, Dakota managed a sweet answer. She also proclaimed her love for TLC reality shows like Little People, Big World and LA Ink . Teenage movie stars: they’re just like us!

  In their newest movie, The Runaways , Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart shared a kiss. When did Dakota Fanning grow up? She went from being a sweet little child actess to playing a rocker chick who kisses another chick. Well, Kristen Stewart had this to say about the kiss: “I haven’t really done a lot of movies with people close to my own age to have a good friend like that,” she said. “So I was excited, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it with.” “It was cool. I didn’t mind it,” Stewart said. “The way that it happens in the script is so just a sort of moment in time and fun and natural and sort of impulsive.”

Here is a new shot of Kristen Stewart in her role as Joan Jett in the upcoming movie “The Runaways”. Synopsis for those who aren’t familiar: 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. The soundtrack just became available for pre-order. You can check it out here . If you want instant updates about the film – there is a Twitter account set up. I am looking forward to this movie. How amazing to find actresses who so closely resembled Cherie and Joan and who could sing, too! Are you planning to see this? It comes out March 19th. The soundtrack listing is under the cut.
