WTTR got picked up?
January 29, 2010
Some tweets are indicating that Welcome to the Riley’s have been picked up for a theatrical release!
@DanielRossano: WTTR Fans we will have a theatrical release!
@robstenlovex WE’RE SEEING WTTR!!! Its been picked up!! [or so ive been told]
@Welcome2Rileys: DANIEL!! Stop tweeting about the movie. Uncle G.
When I was sorting through party invitations pre-Sundance, I almost missed it. And then my eyes focused and realized I was being offered a chance to see Joan Jett — and the Blackhearts, thank you — perform a show at HarryO’s on Main Street Saturday night.
It quickly went straight to the top of the personal event list for the week. Not because I have remained a fan since 1981, but because it was a chance to see Joan Jett perform, for chrissakes. My first rock crush (also from my hometown of Philly). Like many contemporaries, “I Love Rock N’ Roll” was my first sing-along anthem (though Pat Benatar’s “Hell Is for Children” came right after), and she, along with Chrissie Hynde, represented the ultimate teenage fantasy: an attractive woman who could rock harder than you.
Anyway, the hour-plus show, which was a way to promote Sunday night’s premiere of “The Runaways,” about Jett’s first band, delivered and then some. HarryO’s was completely packed, and Jett pulverized it with her simple, crunchy chord progressions and aggressively sexual vocals.
Just short of 50 years old, she’s still got the ripped arms, the jet-black needles of hair, the fist pumps, the growls and moans. Jett stood, legs spread planted, wearing a gold spangly sleeveless shirt and strumming a black guitar with a heart cut into it.
She and her four-piece band rocked through the catalog: “Do You Want to Touch Me (Oh Yeah),” “Crimson and Clover,” “I Love Rock N’ Roll,” “Bad Reputation,” “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” the Runaways hits “Cherry Bomb,” “I Love Playin’ With Fire” and “School Days,” plus newer songs “Fetish,” “Androgynous,” “Naked” and “A.C.D.C.” She finished up her encore with a sing-songy, rock-and-roll version of Sly and the Family Stone’s “Everyday People.”
During a brief interlude, Jett made sure to plug the movie and give what were probably the least punk shout-outs from the stage she’s ever given to Bob Berney of Apparition, Bill Pohlad of River Road and producersArt and John Linson. Patrick Wachsberger of Summit Entertainment, which is releasing the movie internationally, was in the balcony, and his partner Rob Friedman was spotted outside the venue in a slick-looking, ribbed black North Face jacket presumably stuffed with thousand-dollar bills from “Twilight.”
At a second break, Jett brought former Runaways bandmate Cherie Currie on stage along with their acting foils Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart.
The most pointed moment came when Jett was encouraging a sing-along to a chorus and said: “Focus you power. Focus your power right here.” As she beckoned with both hands toward her body, guitar jutting out in front.
Done and done.
Empty Talk of Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Baby Crawls Back
January 20, 2010
From Gossip Cop
Are we having deja vu?
A story going viral — again! — has Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart eager to have a baby.
Or, to be more accurate, this time it’s ClarePattinson, the “Twilight” vamp’s mother, who is reportedly “keen” for Pattinson “to start a family with Kristen because she thinks it’ll help keep Rob’s feet firmly on the ground,” according to The National Enquirer. She “simply adores” Stewart and “doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with them having a baby at a young age.”
And might Pattinson take his mother’s (purported) advice?
“Rob knows his mom’s not been wrong about anything yet,” claims the tab’s “insider,” so “he’s taking her advice about Kristen VERY seriously.”
Sigh.
Gossip Cop knows most fans see this as the nonsense it is, but Robsten baby stories have circulated for months, and outlets still refuse to let reality interfere.
There was zero truth to the talk then. There is zero truth to it now. Let’s leave Pattinson and Stewart — and their mothers — alone.
Rumors Are Floating!

We really don’t know if any of this is true, but the internet is buzzing with what people are saying is extraordinary Robert/Kristen news.

Ok. So something is up. People have been talking about this over at the AT boards. So I decided to investigate. Apparently something is supposed to hit very soon. Apparently big news from Italy or something to do with Italy. Apparently Ted’s tweet had something to do with this and Kstew411’s twitter mentioned it as well. I must say that I am intrigued. What is going on?!?
This is coming from Italy via RobstenLand’s Twitter:
