We've got to hand it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This year they've chosen some excellent nominees. Artists like Guns N' Roses, The Beastie Boys, and The Cure all made this year's list. And we're especially proud that the multicultural band War was included too because, let's be honest, what Hall of Fame is complete without "Low Rider?"

Other names on the 2012 roster include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Heart, Chaka Khan, and Joan Jett. But before you get your hopes too high, keep in mind that they are all just eligible "nominees." Only six lucky artists will actually get inducted next year.

Being as politically correct as ever, Rock Hall President Joel Peresman praised everyone under consideration.

"The 2012 nominees embody the broad scope of what 'rock and roll' means," he said. "From vocal groups to hip-hop, from singer-songwriters to hard rocking artists, this group represents the spirit of what we celebrate at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

All will be revealed at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 14 2012. And if we had our pick, we'd love to see some live "Intergalactic" blended with War’s "Spill The Wine." With Axl Rose on backup vocals, of course.

Kristen Stewart has been receiving extra leading-lady credit since the Twilight blockbuster madness hit theaters...

The overwhelming response to her enchanting role as Bella Swan has movie offers pounding at la puerta with full-force. The bella brunette will star in the movie, The Runaways which will chronicle the rise and fall of the first successful all-girl band. Kristen's latest role will have her digging into her roquera spirit as the hardcore pioneer Joan Jett.

The band was initially seen as a novelty act, something that could be easily marketed as "jailbait on the run" dressed in leather and lingerie. However, the girls were all serious and skilled musicians who made their mark on the punk-rock scene and became hugely influential. The film is expected to begin shooting in early 2009 and will work around Stewart's commitment to New Moon, the Twilight sequel that also plans to shoot early next year.
