Yes, you may kill me: I totally forgot about the latest movie stills of "The Runaways". I updated my Kristen site with them but forgot to do that on Dakota Fanning Daily. However, here are the new stills:

Dakota Fanning stays in shape and hits the gym on Wednesday (July 14) in Los Angeles.

The 16-year-old Eclipse actress was joined by her personal trainer for a private lesson.

Dakota currently covers this month’s Marie Claire magazine where she dishes about her onscreen kiss with costar Kristen Stewart for the Runaways. In the US, you can catch the kiss by picking up a copy of the Runaways next week when it comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Dakota says she doesn't know how to do anything apart from acting.

The 16-year-old actress began starring in movies as a child, finding fame in box-office hits such as Charlotte's Web, Man on Fire and War of the Worlds.

Dakota admits she would be lost if she wasn’t a successful movie star, and says she feels her most comfortable when she's on screen.

"I've realised that I don't know how to do anything else," confessed the star in an interview with the Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. "Acting is the only thing I feel most myself."

Dakota has recently been praised for her role as royal vampire Jane in the Twilight movie franchise, where she stars alongside Kristen Stewart.

The young actresses also star together in new movie The Runaways, where Dakota plays Cherie Currie, singer of the 1970s all-girl teenage rock band and Kristen plays rocker Joan Jett.

The pair have become close friends and even share a lesbian kiss together in the movie. The starlets have forged a firm bond which Dakota thinks has stemmed from the intimate and open nature of acting.

"It's pretty much impossible for me to lie or to be fake around Kristen because she would know," she explained.

"When you're acting, just being completely open and completely bare, having nothing protecting you is pretty rare and wonderful."

The 16-year-old star’s first major big screen role was alongside Sean Penn in I Am Sam when she was just six. Dakota has appeared in a string of hit movies since then and is keen to continue developing her career.

The starlet recently played rocker Cherie Currie alongside Kristen Stewart in The Runaways and is confident the role proved she isn’t a child anymore.

“When you start out young, people get really attached to who you are at 6 years old,” Dakota said in an interview with Marie Claire. “I hope that The Runaways was kind of a moment to be like, ‘You know, I’m not that young little girl anymore, but I’m still not all grown up, either.’

“As you get older, there’s so much more that you can do in films. I’ve never wanted to rush that; I’ve always wanted to do what’s right for my age, but as you approach 18, a whole new world opens up to you as an actor, and I really look forward to that.”

Dakota and Kristen shared a kiss in one scene of the movie and although the lip lock whipped up a media frenzy, the blonde star insists she didn’t think too much about the experience.

“It’s out of the way, and it was with my friend and a girl - no pressure,” Dakota explained. “It was not something Cherie [Currie] and Joan [Jett] ever really spoke about, and that’s how it was filmed - as not that big of a deal.”

Dakota became good friends with Kristen on the set of The Runaways and the pair got the chance to work together again when Dakota joined the cast of Twilight.

Dakota plays a villainous vampire in the hit franchise and she loved wearing red contact lenses for the role.

“It’s something that’s always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes – it’s been something that people have always talked about,” Dakota added. “But I enjoyed the red. You’re automatically transformed into a creature when you put those red eyes in.”

Dakota Fanning went with bright red lipstick for the August issue of FLARE. She has the Summer off from high school to enjoy the continued success of Eclipse, and, in a few months, Dakota will reunite with her Twilight crew to work on Breaking Dawn — make sure to check out what the series's screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told us we can expect in the final installments. Dakota opened up to the magazine about her work in the vampire franchise and also spoke about her friendship with costar Kristen Stewart and her surprisingly normal life. Dakota said:

- On her down-to-earth daily life: "I have such a normal life when I'm not working . . . It's just nice to be around people you care about and who know you best."

- On acting alongside Kristen in Eclipse: "Kristen is one of my best friends, so it was really funny playing her enemy in Eclipse . . . But that's what acting is and when they yell 'cut,' you can go back to your normal self."

- On her favorite wardrobe staple: "In Push, I wear these Doc Martens. They're worn-in and they're so soft, and they're one of the only ones that were made with a zipper. That has affected my style in a completely new way. Now I wear them every day."
- On the career legacy she hopes she'll leave: "I hope people will have been moved by something that I've done or [that I've] helped somebody through a hard time . . . and that I've stayed true to who I am and have been a nice person."

The hotly-anticipated trailer for The Runaways is out.

The film, about pop-punk legend Joan Jett, will see Kristen make a swift departure from her Twilight role as mopey Bella Swann, kissing girls instead of Robert Pattinson.

We're looking forward to seeing if Kristen can pull off a different character, if she can sing, if she can attract an audience without the prospect of a semi-nude Taylor Lautner, and just how rock and roll the girls get...

According to Box Office Mojo. Directed by David Slade, written by Melissa Rosenberg (from Stephenie Meyer‘s novel), starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, and featuring Bryce Dallas Howard, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Xavier Samuel, Dakota Fanning, and Peter Facinelli, among others, Eclipse‘s nine-day total currently stands at $203.66m. Eclipse is currently on the number 10 spot among the fastest movies to reach $200m on the Box Office Mojo chart (not adjusted for inflation). This year, only Toy Story 3 is ahead on the chart, having crossed the $200m milestone with $208m on Day 9. If inflation were taken into account, Eclipse would be down one spot at no. 11.

Dakota Fanning had her sights set on becoming a tennis player before becoming an actress.

The teen star says she was keen to follow in the footsteps of her sporty parents until she discovered the bright lights of Hollywood.

“My mom went to college on a full scholarship for tennis, my dad played minor-league baseball and my grandfather was a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles,” she said.

“So before I started acting the plan for me was to be a tennis player – that was the plan for me and my mum had me in tennis classes.

“One day I went to her and told her I really love the outfits but it’s just too hot – it’s just too hot for me to play tennis and I didn’t want to play anymore.

“I did play soccer and my team was called the Spice Girls, I was Baby Spice.

“I was playing in a game one day and I got the ball for the first time and I was so excited and I was running and running.

“There was nobody around me, I was thinking this is an easy game, then I kicked it into the goal and was so excited.

“I turned around and nobody was cheering for me and nobody was proud of me — and I then realized I’d kicked it in the wrong goal — so I quit soccer too."
