Don't ask Kristen Stewart about Twilight now that she's a Jett all the way

Sure, Val Kilmer was here in Austin for the showing of MacGruber earlier this week before heading to Houston. But there was more excitement as Bella herself — actress Kristen Stewart —showed up to promote The Runaways, the Joan Jett biopic that officially closing the South by Southwest Film Festival.
After the screening, Stewart awkwardly answered questions. During the Q&A session she roamed the stage a bit aimlessly while she talked about taking the role of Jett. She didn't seem comfortable mentioning the Twilight saga more than once. When she did, the air was sucked out of the room and she never mentioned the tween series again.
Afterwards, she headed to a party for cast and crew at Moonshine. I tried to crash it, but couldn't get in. But Perez Hilton was there and tweeted, “I'm at the same party as Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning at Moonshine in Austin. Should I go up and say hello???? Ha! #SXSW”
To which he later replied, “Just met them both. #Done”.
Stewart and Fanning also stopped by Stubbs to take in the music scene. They watched from the VIP section as Broken Social Scene performed.
Jett was not at the screening and was sorry she couldn't make it, according to Cherie Currie, the lead singer of the trailblazing 1970s band, The Runaways. Seeing Currie in person made not getting into the after party all the more tolerable.
