I remember the first time I saw Dakota Fanning. It was the first time many of us saw her, in I Am Sam. I also remember thinking, “Damn, that little girl just upstaged Sean Penn!” Then I quickly perished the thought, because I’m quite certain Sean Penn has the power to read minds from thousands of miles away and cause naysayers to spontaneously combust by merely glancing in their direction.
And if I’d had Dakota’s talent, fame and money when I was 14, I definitely would have been whooping it up in a crack den somewhere. But I didn’t, so I had to wait till college.
So kudos to Dakota for seemingly having her head on straight and, you know, looking like a teenager — no small feat in Hollywood these days. *COUGH* Ali Lohan *COUGH* Taylor Momsen.
Here she is at the premiere of Hounddog, an uplifting tale about a young girl who turns to Elvis for inspiration after suffering rape and abuse. Sweet! I love a good romantic comedy.
dakota is adorable, kirsten looks like she could use a good scrub.

So, let me get this straight: Hollywood types who really are preggers wear skin-tight leotard tops which reveal every aspect of the big belly, while those who really aren’t preggers wear maternity tops.
Uh. O.k.

September 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pmDo I smell a Jodie Foster successor here? Dakota rocks - totally!
September 17th, 2008 at 9:50 pmI really hope she stays sensible, and not become another Paris or Lindsay.
