    they look pretty similar cause of the hair:) FIRST

  2. Mariana says:

    i like kstew’s new haircut. looks good on her (:
    they look pretty similar, except for the hair colour. :3

  3. Switzerland says:

    they both look so foxxxy :)

  4. Amy says:

    Everything is a go except Kristen’s ear is the wrong shape… drat.

  5. Mina says:

    I hope thats a wig,lol.they do look similar..poor kristen!

    • Florbella says:

      YeaH! I hope that’s a wig TOO! That cut is busted. Love Her but I guess that what you have to do for a role. I would cry like those girls in ANTM.

  6. Heather says:

    That’s really scary. Kristen could almost be Joan’s daughter.

    And I think she really cut her hair lol. She’ll probably have to wear a wig if she’s going directly from this project to Eclipse.

  7. Daphne says:

    I think she’ll be a good joan jett

  8. Kayla says:

    I LOVE Joan Jett! Kristen looks exactly like Joan when she was younger! I can’t wait for the movie! I love her haircut. Not alot of girls can pull that off.

  9. Cheryl says:

    Ugh. At least Kristen’s voice is deep enough. :P

  10. Chela85 says:

    Looks good.

  11. abby says:

    spot on!

    • amanda says:

      kristen does not look like taylor lautner with that hairstyle.taylor has long,dark,straight hair.the syle kristen has is sort of shaggy

  12. Trina says:

    Is it just me, or does Kristen look like Taylor Lautner here?

    She just needs some heavy eye makeup to look more like Joan Jett.

  13. Melisa says:

    Is that a current picture of Joan Jett or is that how she looked in the Runaways because that’s the picture they should really be comparing.

    • Adiene says:

      Its a more recent shot of Joan. Actually the two look nothing alike. Maybe a bit similar face shape and nody type that is about it. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/images/stewart-jett.jpg
      Donno what ya think

      With the hair and a side shot they look somewhat alike a little bit buI guess. But with the wonder of heavy make up and a hair cut she is going to totaly fit the role. What a great chance too Joan Jett is awesome! :D

      • Adiene says:

        Don’t know maybe it’s because I am sculptor I see the differences more so then others? …. My friend said they do kinda look alike tho. hehe

        All I see is that Kristen’s eyes are set further apart, shape of the eyes are different, nose is more slopped and more button and her lips are more shaped, (points closer together) then Joan. Now the face shape and cheek bones are almost spot on hehe

        Anyways, … Yes , With the hair and make up yeah she will look more like Joan when she was younger , I think :) *nod

        What a stellar role :) *squee~!

    • arazcal says:

      The featured photo is not current. The last time I saw Joan Jett she had her hair cut really short and close cropped, shorter even than Taylor Lautner’s style, but it looked amazing on her.It featured her eyes and flattered her face and cheekbones.Did I mention she was currently blonde?!

      • Adiene says:

        yeah I know its not “current” currently she has a crop and blonde, the one is more “recent” as in vs young joan tho. Like the time frame Kristen is playing. She looks great still! Specially for her age. I hope I canlook that good when I reach up there :( hehe

  14. Miry says:

    I don’t like Kristen much but I can’t deny that she’s super gorgeous. She has such a unique, stunning face.

  15. hannah says:

    their noses are identical…

  16. arazcal says:

    Kristen looks so much like a young Joan!
    They did a great job on the hair as well as casting!
    Joan Jett and the Runaways are THE REASON that musicians,who happen to be female,rock.
    They were ground breaking and opened doors for the next generation.Joan has been rocking hard for 30 years and I hope she keeps the volume cranked for another 30.

  17. creamy says:

    I love this cut on Kristen. The color too. When I first saw her in this photo I thought she looked like Joan Jett. In the side-by-side, not so much. But, I can see that Kristen can certainly portray the spirit of Joan, which I am sure is more important.

    Another thing the side-by-side reveals is, not only is Kristen gorgeous, but this isn’t a favorable comparison for Joan. Of course Kristen would outshine most who are compared to her.

  18. becky says:

    I do not like her new look. Her hair is to black and it does not do anything for her at all.They do not look simliar at all the only thing that looks simlair is there position.

  19. yuna15 says:

    Wow… they have very much similarity generally because of the hair.

    I’d like to see how Kristen acts in this movie…

  20. Marianne says:

    I think she looks great and enough like Joan Jett to play her in a movie. I don’t think they are exactly looking for clones.
    It’s great she put herself out there and cut her hair, dyed it and is taking vocal lessons, she obviously really wants to do this the best she can.
    Like Melissa said, if they are comparing, they should use a picture of Joan when she was younger. I think there would be a much closer resemblance.

  21. switzgal says:

    Joan Jett isn’t pretty, Kristen is. If I was Kristen I would’ve worn a wig for this role. How can she cut her hair like that??!!! It’s so out of style now. Now she has to wear a wig for Eclipse!

  22. me says:

    They look alot alike, but that hair is SO BAD on KStew.

  23. Allie says:

    she has not always worn a wig for the twilight series,superduper. am i the only 1 who has no clue who this joan jett person is?

    • TeamSwitzerland4ever says:

      nope, you’re not:b the hair does not fit 4 kristen and I think its kind of stupid to cut her hair now when she has to film Eclipse soon, but its her choice and she’s brave to do it at least:)

    • superduper says:

      Actually, she does Allie, Catherine Hardwicke has said that they did it to save time, and it is pretty obvious that her hair is longer in fuller in the films then in real life.

  24. Tia says:

    dude, her hair sucks. But if its for a role than I can forgive her

  25. Mopii says:

    I think Kristen can play Joan Jett amazingly, looks amazing so far, but she will have to work hard.

    I like how she acts, but she’s not so good. Im saying that because I can see in all of her characters a lot of herself. And when an actor is good, you almost forget is him/her playing the character. She’s not achieving that. 4 example she is not capable of being a little more mellow when she play’s Bella, just because it makes her uncomfortable…

    Don’t hate me, I LOVE Kristen Stewart, but she needs to practise more!!!!

  26. Jasmine says:

    They look alot alike. I don’t like the hair style..kristen doesn’t suit it I think. But who is Joan Jett??? I rli haven’t heard of her

  27. Susan says:

    They look similar. It would be great to have a photo of Joan Jett, with her black hair, at as close of an age to Kristen as possible to do a true comparison. “I love rock and roll. Put another coin in the jutebox, baby.” I’m looking forward to this movie.

  28. ELW says:

    That haircut is heartbreaking!! Why not just do a wig? How are they going to fix that for Eclipse? There is no time for it to grow out. What a waste. I hope she donated to locks of love at the least.

  29. Stacie says:

    i think she looks great and i think she will play the part amazingly!

  30. Chloe says:

    What’s going to happen when Eclipse starts shooting?

  31. tanisha says:

    I think she does resemble her. And to those that are upset about her new hairstyle, I’m pretty sure it will be fixed in time for Eclipse. Everyone was freaking out when Rob shaved his head, and his hair ended up growing back in plenty of time for NM. Chill guys.

  32. Catie says:

    they do look similar except the color…i just dont think it looks that great on her. i liked her hair when it was longer and lighter and…like it is in the movie. but i just like long hair

    PEACE TO THE PEEPS! :)

  33. Twifanatic Amanda says:

    Awesome

  34. Twilight_News says:

    Troll is gone. Deleted the repost and banned this IP too. It was an exact repost from earlier (see Mike Welch thread)with a different name and IP leading me to believe the troll was at a friends house and now went home, it’s a group effort from another website, or merely someone with personality disorder needing to be three people.

    In any case..banned. You don’t have to like anyone, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and telling the world they are crazy because the world doesn’t seen the misguided error in their ways and agree with you without thinking, and posting as such half a dozen times.

    Sadly this is what happens when the mod team decides to have a life on Saturday night, go out to dinner, and think the blog will be fine for four hours. Apparently the trolls have radar.

  35. Elyse says:

    Kristen is one brave girl to be cutting her hair. I wish I was gutsy enough to do something like that. I think she looks pretty good. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

  36. Zoe says:

    it’s so unfair how gorgeous kristen is…she could wear a garbage bag and look stunning

  37. ciety says:

    kristen is a talentd actress.. she so low profile.. i hardly know her bad habit.. but.. i think she done everything to hide it.. if anyone dont like kristen stewart its their problem.. and just stay away.. maybe they are jealous of her beauty.. for me kristen have natural beauty.. she has her own way to be gorgeus! i love her acting career.. and rob pat with her just make they both so sweet… and funny.. twilight rules!

    twilight lexicon thanks for every information given here!

  38. Amanda says:

    Could Kristen be more gorgeous? She cuts off her hair and still looks great, like a total rock star. Long, short, it doesn’t matter. She could have chosen a wig, but instead decides to plunge herself into the role. She’s awesome, and I admire her for it.

  39. Mel says:

    I think they hair cut looks right on, but whoever did her hair color didn’t do a very good job, it makes her hair look too fake, like she is wearing a wig. I think it may be too black.

  40. Michelle says:

    I want to see how it looks when its done! and also i love kristen but ill have to admit that i like her hair how it was before better but if its for a role then who cares! even if it isnt who cares! she should be able to have her hair anyway that makes her feel good about herself. true fans dont care :)
    GO KRISTEN!

  41. Sia says:

    I think Kristen is so beautiful but I don’t know about this look but if it’s for a role then go ahead. But I’m scared of what she’ll look like for Eclipse.

  42. Annelaure says:

    i don’t like kristen with this hair…she is so pretty…why?? But for me is always the best!!

  43. she looks fab! totally gorgeous!<3

  44. safina says:

    They do look similar.

  45. Mary Alice Cullen says:

    Eww. i hate that hair cut, i hope its a wig.

  46. Shayla says:

    I get to meet the real Cherie Currie (Dakota’s character) soon!! I’m so excited!

  47. Kelsey says:

    Oh god, Kristen, finish this movie quickly and get rid of that ugly hairstyle!

  48. Sarah says:

    Very good i think they did a really good job i am so excited for this movie b/c i think k-stew is a great actress!!

  49. Barbara says:

    its really great!!! but doesn t real Joan Jett have red hair?

  50. thparkle says:

    They could be mother and daughter! She looks like a rock star…..appropriate enough! I love Kristen and think that she hasn’t shown us 1/2 what she can do yet, this girl’s going places! I know she’s gonna do Joan Jett justice, no doubt!
