Girl Power! Runaway Bad Girl Lita Ford and Family Hit Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages got a visit from one of the most shredding families in the rock biz on April 9, when guitarist Lita Ford of The Runaways, hubby Jim Gillette of Nitro and mohawk-ed sons James and Rocco dropped by the campy '80s comedy to see what heavy metal fans in the know have been chattering about ever since the show took the stage. The girls of ROA, including new star Emily Padgett, were especially empowered by the run-in, since The Runaways were the original set of seriously cool all-girl rock rebels to hit the scene during their reign in the 1970s. (PS: Ford hasn’t been idle since the band went its separate ways either—the bombshell had a hot solo career, met and married Gillette and reportedly has a reality TV series titled The Gillettes: An Extreme American Family in the works.)
