Last night was the LA premiere for the "The Runaways," the biopic about an all-girl 1970s rock group starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. The movie chronicles THE RUNAWAYS from 1975 - 1977; formed by teenage girls living near Hollywood, CA, and heavily manipulated by their manager Kim Fowley as 'jailbait rock', all the girls were 16 or younger when the band recorded their first album. The band ultimately succeeds on their own merits as musicians, becoming the first all-girl rock-band to ever break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts.

Last night Kristen Stewart and co-star Dakota Fanning put their arms around each other and smiles on the red carpet for the premiere of The Runaways held at ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles. Dakota, 16, and Kristen, 19, were joined by New Moon co-star and friend, Taylor Lautner. Other starlets in attendance included Riley Keough, who also stars in the film. Joan Jett, founding member of the band, The Runaways and Cherie Currie who both went straight up old school last night fully rockered out in classic threads.

Madonna attended a party in honour of past A|X photographer Tom Munro in Los Angeles on Saturday night - New York Times The Carpetbagger blog reported from the event:

'Collaboration. I like being his muse,' Madonna told us, explaining her relationship with photographer Tom Munro at a private party and opening last night, to celebrate the photographer’s first book, a collection of celebrity portraits. (Partial proceeds of of the book will go to Madonna’s charity, Raising Malawi, and M.E.A.K.)
Madonna, wearing black fishnet stockings, leather skirt and dark sunglasses at 10 p.m. in a dark room, blew off the Weinstein Company party at Soho House and the Summit Entertainment reception for 'The Hurt Locker' at the Mondrian, for the gallery opening, where she spent most of the time on the lap of Steven Klein, another celebrity fashion photographer.

Mr. Munro, who has directed a couple of videos with Madonna, said his dream was to move into the direction of feature films and he credited Madonna as 'an inspiration.'
Mr. Munro then looked around the packed room from behind the V.I.P. roped-off area. 'We were terrified that it is too ambitious having a show the night before the Oscars,' he said. 'I wasn’t sure if anyone was going to turn up. They might have been getting their beauty sleep for tomorrow night.'
