Today's Evil Beet Gossip

They Grow Up So Fast!

Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning is totes “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards on Tuesday night. At 14, she’s finally starting to shed her little kid face, but it’s still there. (Compare this to Ali Lohan, who’s the same age but looks to be about 28.)

And I know we’re supposed to say “they grow up so fast!” and all, but, really, I feel like Dakota Fanning has been a little girl forever. That girl has had the longest damn childhood ever. Every time I hear about her, I’m like, “Man, Dakota Fanning must be so old by now” and then it turns out she’s still pretty much pre-pubescent.

Hurry up and age, Dakota. You’re sooooo boring like this.

  • fear not Beet….won`t be long now till we get ‘those’ pics doin` the rounds……you know the one`s , rolling out of a club,pissed to the eyeballs, throwing up on the bouncer`s shoes(and of course then attempting to drive home!)…..and….the occasional panty-less crotch snap….and….being spotted out n about dating an over-aged , yet still pimply dude(who is naturally hooked up with someone else!)…… the usual stock footage we`ve grown to love (and expect).
    ….can`t wait,really!

    • I have a strong feeling that we will see none of that from this young lady…she seems really focused and mature beyond her years. Then again that feeling may be partly due to the characters she has played since I obviously do not know her personally. I would like to see one of these young stars get to adulthood without all of the drama we have gotten used to seeing. I know it’s not good for the gossip sites but it still would be nice to see! I guess we will all find out in the next few years.

      • I soooo agree about her being mature beyond her years. She’s beautiful and talented and I really hope she doesn’t become a fugly Miley Cyrus. *Thinks about Miley and shudders*

  • she’s turning out to be really beautiful.
    i reeeaaaallly do hope that she won’t become an anorexic alcoholic that shoots heroin to her eyeballs.

  • “I feel like Dakota Fanning has been a little girl forever. That girl has had the longest damn childhood ever”

    SO TRUE! xD
    At one time, I was actually pretty sure that they (Hollywood, I guess) just sort of create a new Dakota Fanning every two years, just so she could play Tom Cruise’s alien-daughter for ever and ever and ever and ever… and ever…

    and ever.

  • i just looked at photo of ali lohan for comparison and she looks like she could be dakota’s mother.

  • She’s totally wearing Jodie Foster’s Oscar dress from her win for “The Accused”. Yeah. I’m that old. Shut up.

  • does anyone else think that she looks super skinny?

    THAT is what she is going to be remembered for. She knows how this industry works.

  • I’m totally loving her eye-brows right now they don’t look scary like every other 14 year olds. And her make-up is just right not to over done for her age. Beautiful.

  • o now dakota is cool look wg like Dakota I now is She suuuuuper nie znacie mojego j?zyka szkoda bo ja po angielsku nie za chocho wi?c nie b?de pisa?

  • She’s actually normal looking now. When she was going through her younger years, I thought she was the scariest little girl on the whole damn planet. She’s really pretty now, though.

  • omg she looks BEAUTIFUL!! and age appropriate! and graceful! i’m so excited to see her career reflect her looking older than 10! hopefully she (and her parents) will keep a good head on her shoulders.

  • countdown to teen knockout in 5,4,3,2………

    ‘KA-BOOM’!!!

    prepare for your exit Miley. Tee-hee.

  • Shes really turned out beautiful, i would love to be able to meet her. Sucks that i cant fly there, no money, cause im her age….., yeah, im a dude and i check up on my celeb gossip… dont judge…, its just fun. ;-)
