Spending the day on the set of her new movie, Kristen Stewart was spotted plugging away on the set of "The Runaways" in Los Angeles on Sunday (July 19).

Joined by co-star Dakota Fanning and fellow band characters Alia Shawkat, Scout Taylor-Compton and Stella Maeve, all of the members had shirts on showing their names as they strolled about the set.

Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the rocker chick flick is described as "a coming-of-age biopic about '70s teenage band The Runaways."

Making sure everything goes according to plan, singer Joan Jett was also on-hand for the day's filming - as she's been a mainstay on the set throughout production.

Frank McCourt, the beloved raconteur and former public school teacher who enjoyed post-retirement fame as the author of "Angela's Ashes," the Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of woe about his impoverished Irish childhood, died Sunday of cancer at age 78.

McCourt had been gravely ill with meningitis and recently was treated for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. He died at a Manhattan hospice, his brother Malachy McCourt said.

Until his mid-60s, Frank McCourt was known primarily around New York as a creative writing teacher and as a local character — the kind who might turn up in a New York novel — singing songs and telling stories with younger brother Malachy and otherwise joining the crowds at the White Horse Tavern and other literary hangouts.

But there was always a book or two being formed in his mind and the world would learn his name, and story, in 1996, after a friend helped him get an agent and his then-unfinished manuscript was quickly signed by Scribner. With a first printing of just 25,000, "Angela's Ashes" was an instant favorite with critics and readers and perhaps the ultimate case of the non-celebrity memoir, the extraordinary life of an ordinary man.

"F. Scott Fitzgerald said there are no second acts in American lives. I think I've proven him wrong," McCourt later explained. "And all because I refused to settle for a one-act existence, the 30 years I taught English in various New York City high schools."

A native of New York, McCourt was good company in the classroom and at the bar, but few had such a burden to unload. His parents were so poor that they returned to their native Ireland when he was little and settled in the slums of Limerick. Simply surviving his childhood was a tale; McCourt's father was an alcoholic who drank up the little money his family had. Three of McCourt's seven siblings died, and he nearly perished from typhoid fever.

"Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood," was McCourt's unforgettable opening.

"People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty, the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests, bullying schoolmasters; the English and all the terrible things they did to us for 800 long years."

The book was a long Irish wake, "an epic of woe," McCourt called it, finding laughter and lyricism in life's very worst. Although some in Ireland complained that McCourt had revealed too much (and revealed a little too well), "Angela's Ashes" became a million seller, won the Pulitzer and was made into a movie of the same name, starring Emily Watson as the title character, McCourt's mother.

McCourt's other books include "'Tis" and "Teacher Man."

(btw, I can't stand her, but this shit is tragic.)

Chima told her fellow Big Brother 11 houseguests that she had to have two facial surgeries because the attack had been so brutal.

"February of 1999, 22-year-old Chima Benson sleeps soundly in her sorority house when she wakes up to a masked man in her bedroom. The man brutally beats and rapes Chima, before fleeing into the night. At the hospital semen is collected. The sample is compared to the DNA from the 1996 murders at the Peartree apartment complex, and confirmed to be a match."

Notes: I wrote this for the promt Crimson which was suggested by runningsissors  in sort of beautiful. I know that itslikenature  already used a rose in her oneshot, but it was just necessary for the story here and I guess it´s a pretty quick thought to come into your mind when thinking of the word. However the story is mainly focused on something else which is crimson-coloured.

BILLIONAIRE Pete Peterson is said to be "mortified" over the sneering performance of his grandson PC (above) on Bravo's "NYC Prep." "Pete is really upset," a friend said. PC -- whose official bio says, "Money, women and life's spoils are all he's ever known" -- is seen bragging and picking on younger kids. The insider added, "He was kicked out of several schools and the family cut him off at one point. He's doing this show to get an acting career." Good Luck! Last week, PC was spotted getting "super touchy-feely" with Barron Hilton at the Gramercy Park Hotel. A Bravo rep had no comment.
