The Runaways tells the story about the first all-female rock group which started with Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Sandy West and Jackie Fox. As instructed by their producer, Kim Fowley they were to “sing with their cocks” – and that they did. That they did.
The rock biopic (out in theaters Friday, March 19) [...]

The day that The Twilight Saga: New Moon came out in theaters is going to be known as the day that the loudest, collective tween squeal was heard around the world.
In the second installment of the lovelorn book-to-movie vampire franchise, Bella (Kristen Stewart) is faced with a loss and a gain. Her vampire boyfriend Edward [...]

We all love (for the most part) Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, but the Twilight Saga would be nothing without Anna Kendrick.

Just in case you didn’t know, New Moon comes to theaters Friday (Nov. 20) – and December issues of magazines are here to remind us. Constantly remind us.
It’s a good thing because I was starting to forget.
The New Moon threesome (a.k.a. Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson) crammed themselves on to the cover of [...]

Twilight: New Moon hasn’t even come out and websites are already posting pictures from Eclipse, the third installment of the soon-to-be fatigued vampire tween saga – and the picture they put in People magazine is the most boring piece of bullcorn I have seen:

I can’t help myself. I know I just did a post about New Moon and how it is going to be “edgier,” but I feel my inner tween breaking out of my skin like a bad case of Hannah Montana gums.
I realize that I am behind on New Moon news, but I just saw [...]

The warm loving embrace. The smoldering eyes. The vampire in the moon. This re-cover is the cheesiest thing ever – and I love it.
I wonder if they changed the text of the novel to match the Harlequin romance vibe this cover is sending out. I wonder if Bella says stuff like, “Jacob’s warm manhood [...]
