We've already chatted to stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning about rock biopic The Runaways, but now it's time to hear from their inspirations, their co-stars and the mind behind the movie: the original runaway Joan Jett, costar Michael Shannon and director Floria Sigismondi.

• Joan Jett on the message of the film: Ultimately, to follow your dreams. That good old cliché of following your dreams, because I really feel that people beat down other people’s dreams constantly. I see it a lot with writers, when I talk to them about this. I guess a lot of writers must be told, "You’ll never make money that way, get a real job!" A lot of writers want to write . . . To me, I just think it’s really important to try and follow your dream. And if for some reason life takes you a different way, then at least you made an attempt.
• Joan on first meeting Kristen: I met her last New Year’s Eve. She came up to see a gig and I kind of just dumped on her about The Runaways for several hours and asked her if she was going to cut her hair. She said yes and I had great faith that she was going to be able to pull this off because she seemed very dedicated and genuine and authentic. We had a few weeks before filming started to spend some time and she picked my brain.

Heidi Klum put on her red for the Heart Truth event in Santa Monica yesterday. Her casual outfit covered up a lot more than her recent spread in Allure magazine, in which Heidi showed off pretty much all of her post-baby body. Check out more pics of a covered-up Heidi after the jump.

Wondering where you can find Twilight's Carlisle Cullen after the release of Eclipse? I've got good news: Peter Facinelli has lined up two new roles, which will both be directed by Michael Corrente. The first is Loosies, which Facinelli wrote himself, about an NYC pickpocket who learns that a woman he had a one-night stand with is pregnant. The second is Paz, a biopic about boxer Vinny Pazienza, who made a comeback after suffering a near-fatal car accident. I'm pleased to see Facinelli tying up more films, since Breaking Dawn may be the last time we see him as Carlisle.

Well peeps, they finally did it! After a six year engagement, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have tied the knot. The pair, who met in Sydney in 2002, married in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Paris last Monday, according to Woman's Day. Only a few close relatives and the couple's two year old daughter Olive attended. In an email to friends who missed the ceremony, Isla reportedly said, “It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss–just us!” Perth-raised Isla converted to Judaism in 2007, which was said to be one reason behind what was quite possibly one of Hollywood's longest engagements. Congrats to the couple!

Demi Moore stayed close to husband Ashton Kutcher over the weekend at the annual Night at Sardi's fundraiser, held at LA's Beverly Hilton hotel. Demi showed off her glamourous side last week with her April US Harper's Bazaar cover and she also took the time to help out a suicidal man via Twitter. She and Ashton were joined at the event by leading men like Chris Pine and Seth Rogen, who's back in California after a few weeks in Vancouver filming I'm With Cancer alongside Anna Kendrick and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Seth brought along his girlfriend, Lauren Miller, though she wasn't the only one feeling Seth's love; he also apparently locked lips with Chris. "I just kissed Chris Pine, " Seth said onstage. "It was awesome. I kissed him hard and I kissed him strong. He punched me pretty hard. Do I regret it? Not one bit."

Heaven help us, the '80s classic Overboard is being remade. What's more, Jennifer Lopez is in talks to star.

The original is one of my all-time faves—how can you not love a snotty Goldie Hawn losing her identity from a toss off the side of a yacht and then falling for the carpenter (Kurt Russell) who's duping her? Though I'm not exactly psyched to see them overhauling something that I think needs no improvement, remakes are par for the course in Hollywood. And Jennifer Lopez can easily go from spoiled to no-frills, so she's not the worst choice if a remake is happening.

But I'm ready to hear from you guys—is this news good or bad?

John Mayer took the stage in LA on Friday for a Haiti relief show at Fleur de Lys. Joining him were Patrick Dempsey and Jeremy Renner, who looked right at home on the red carpet after making the rounds throughout award season on behalf of The Hurt Locker. Patrick looked amazing as always, while Jeremy proved why he's finding himself to be one of Hollywood's most in-demand stars. The latest rumours have him linked to director Paul Thomas Anderson, who's trying to put together a film on Scientology.
