Lesbians are "normal" if one thinks beyond a hetero-normative bias. Get a clue. As a gay man you should be ashamed of this comment. Just calling you on it…
Love her and love her dress! shes way toooo smart to follow in any of those disgusting girls footsteps nowadays!
she's a robot.
Wow, I can't believe she's 14 already. It seemed like just yesterday that she was in "Uptown Girls". She seems like a nice, normal kid with a good head on her shoulders.
I love this girl. She is so talented.
This is how a young lady should dress. Maybe Miley can get some tips from her stylist!
we should get off of our computers and go outside. get into the sun and get some air. we should try to have some fun and not worry about so called stars that we will never meet.
It's good to see that her face is starting to look normal. The giant bug eyes are not so apparent anymore. Good for her.
She's 14 already? wow. She looks so cute! And still looks like a child =)
Mily Cyrus is a year older and already looks like a slut XDDDDDDD
look at the difference between her and miley and they are just one year apart! miley dresses way too old for her age and dakota is just a doll!!
The next Miley Cyrus? No wait, she wasn't on the Disney channel. Good move Dakota.
She reminds me of Natalie Portman. She'll be normal.
a normal boring lesbian like jodie foster
She will grow up normal…she is very smart and classy!!!!
omg…you people are retarded. That is Dakota Fanning. She is such a pretty girl. She will grow up and not be a media whore like Miley Cyrus. She is and still will be known for the movies she's in….not for other nonsense.
Jeesh, she looks beautiful! She's only one year younger than Miley Cyrus!! Miley seems eons older!
GROWNED?
GROWN UP…ALL GROWN UP…..
Why so hateful…noone ever hears about her. She is just a little girl…same age as Hanna Montana. She is not doing anything weird.
I LOVE HER! SUCH A WONDERFUL ACTRESS! THE NEW JODIE FOSTER!
Why is becomming a lesbian a different option than growing up normal?
she looks a lot like jodie foster…..hmmmmm
Now THAT'S how a 14/15 year-old girl should look/act/dress!!!!
I doubt that Dakota Fanning will be another Lindsay, or Miley, for that matter. She seems to be much more grounded than the latter two - not to mention, Fanning is more sophisticated and hasn't been known to party. She's not in the spotlight as much as the other wayward Hollywood celebs are, and she seems to be controlled considerably by her parents.
And if I'm wrong, I know Perez will have the updates on Miss Fanning if she ever "raises Hell."
she's actually really pretty i think! but i think she'll grow up being normal… she's SEEMS like she would be. but we'll see…
OMG it's SO refreshing to see a 14 year old actually looking 14 for once. she has normal eyebrows! she doesn't have 2840 pounds of makeup on! she has natural hair! she doesn't have a slutty smile! WHEEE!!! what a pretty girl.
Just think she is only 1 year younger than Miley Cyrus!
All of the above hopefully.
Lohan & Spears are getting real boring lately. We need somebody who can redefine the term 'screwup'.
Re: Erin – Because it's not normal. Normal means everyday, average, etc. He's not saying anything is wrong with it, he's just saying it's not the norm.
she will be as natalie portman….she is way smart yall, she learned how to read at 2 yrs old.. she will go to harvard probably
I think she wont be either of those choices, she will just disappear and have no more career and become a child star drug addict.

Re: YOU ARE INCORRECT – p.s….i'm not bad-mouthing dakota…just pointing out certain acting skills…

Alianna lohan should take classes from her…….Dakota looks her age.
She'll be normal.
No make up, dressed appropriatly and not going to clubs WOW! What are her parents thinking????!!!!
none of the above. She seems to have a clue, not so normal and she's fabulously well to do, also not normal. She would make a better AJoliE than Megan Fox (in this I mean all round overachieving dogood with your fame talented beauty). IMHO
I am mad that she is 14 and she doesn't have any braces to fix her jacked up teeth. Like she doesn't have the money. I am gonna need her mom to get it together!
she's 13…
She's year younger than Miley Cyrus and look at d difference!!! Miley's not getting enough ZZZZZZ's obviously!!!
I sooo hope that she doesn't become a party girl, I can't see her having many friends, mainly because she is famous.
I hope she never goes to clubs, it would be too weird, she's such a sweetheart and she's very pretty!
Stay the same forever Dakota!!!!!
In the future, I see Dakota Fanning…dunno, prob turning into a lezzo for a while, then having a recurring drug problem, going broke, doing porn to make ends meet, dead at 40???
sound hollywood enuff?
is dakota!! america ferrara?? what?? is skinny, white, blonde? i dont know what are u looking at?
how about getting some braces. snaggle puss.
She needs a brow wax and some teeth whitening.
being anorexic
you don't see dakota's parents pimpin' her out like some parents we know *cough* miley "cough*
far cry wouldn't ya say???
dakota looks like she has class.
Miley,
Take note, this is what a young teen is SUPPOSED to look like. Wearing makeup and clothes intended for an adult does not make you one!!!!!
woow, finally a decent under18 actress! but something must be done about those teeth…
Wasnt she 10 years old yesterday?? she grew up fast
hmmmm see
I think she'll grow up to be normal. Most other girls her age in Hollywood would be wearing 10 pounds of make-up and showing cleavage. Dakota's doing neither.
Now she looks like a 14 yr old.. young and with hardly any make up..not like Miley Cyrus at 15 looking like 30..
Re: Mary –
If you don't even know how to spell the persons name, I'm not sure you are in the position to be critizing them. Just a thought.
Hard to believe this one is pretty much the same age as Miley
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let her grow up normal.
I loved her in "I am Sam"
wow, a teenage celebrity that actually looks her age and doesn`t wear sixteen layers of caked makeup & clothes that should be for someone 5 or 10 years their senior. -COUGH- mileyslutcyris -COUGH- Congratulations Dakota, she`ll grow up normal & classy I believe.
I give her about 20 minutes before shes on Gossip Girl
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!
Did anyone notice that "growned" is not a proper grammar? It's supposed to be grown, not growned! Hello, English 101!
She's most likely to be our new Jodie Foster. Though people say the same about Ellen Page. It will still take a lot to be as great as Jodie Foster is or even as great as she was at 12! And two oscars and box office hits? Yeah every young actress shoots for a Jodie Foster career, because everyone else has screwed it up in the past!
awww she looks like a little gemma ward!
please someone get braces for this girl!!!
Re: j – yes it is you idiot.
Shame on you Perez! Juxtaposing "becoming lesbian," against "normal." You of all people should be against perpetuating the stereotype that homosexuality is abnormal. tsk tsk!!
The girl is in serious need of a dentist.
Normally
OMG she's cute!
Looking very nice for 14. She's gonna be a good actress I bet
IN THIS PHOTO SHE LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE JENNY FROM "GOSSIP GIRL"
AND DAKOTA IS BECOMING VERY BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK SHE'S A GOOD GIRL
Braces NOW!!!!
Are you saying being a lesbian isn't NORMAL perez? Uhh… I'm surprised by you.
she needs to fix her teeth.
but shes really super cute.
and I love her.
:D
She looks young enough to be Ali Lohan's daughter!!!
haha.
She doesn't look like 14 but she 's cute. Not the first slut like MILEY SLUTTEY…
I actually think she'll be normal. She seems like a sweet kid, and she's really talented. It's nice to see a 14 year old actually acting her age, unlike Hannah Montana!
She paid 400 dollars for that dress!!
DAMN.
It's Betsey Johnson.
she's ADORABLE!..and age appropriate..she should get out of hollywood while she still can.
Does that infer that becoming a lesbian is not normal?
i love that she looks like a young girl and not a painted up whore. well played mom and pop fanning.
She's lovely, graceful and super intelligent! I'm sure she'll grow up to be a caring, decent and normal young lady. Luv ya Dakota!
with all that money, one would think that she could get rid of the mustard teeth
Very disappointed in the choices about 'voting' - 'growing up normal' or 'becoming a lesbian' is heteronormative at best and homophobic at worst. There is enough media around who fail to normalise lesbian and gay people. I'm disheartened that Perez and staffers chose this framework to be 'funny' - it isn't - and it puts us all behind in achieving equal rights.
So nice to see a 14-year-old that actually looks 14! She's beautiful.
Leave her alone, she´s just a kid.
Dakota seems to have her head on straight and with a solid support base. So, I think she'll end up with the strength of Jodie Foster and the humanitarian impact of Angelina Jolie, with the acting presence of both, if she chooses to remain in acting. I rarely put so much faith & expectation on a child actor, especially with the tabloids always looking to cause so much disruption for the sake of the almighty dollar. However, in this case, I see Dakota, and the people around her, not allowing such invasions.
becoming a lesbian? shouldnt it be like, coming out as a lesbian? geez, i just lost some self respect for you
Now that's what I call a real tween idol and role model for the young girls of the world. Miley Cyrus is A YEAR OLDER and she looks like a tramp with a hooker-inspired makeup artist. Dakota rocks, she's the next Hilary Duff, unlike Miley Cyrus, who will most likely end up like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears.
She seems like a very decent and smart girl. she hasnt gotten into any trouble like past child stars… Keep up the good work.
GETTING HER TEETH FIXED!!!!!! NO, PLEASE IT WOULD HELP!!!!!!!
Kudos for her dress! This is aga appropriate and very tasteful for a tween. Miley Cyrus should take note of Dekota's attire and maybe ask for advice on dress and comporting herself.
So pretty…
ITS NOT LUPUS!!!
this is a normal 14 year old. that miley bitch is like 22. they better stop. miley is a hot mess.
See, now this is how you do it. Take notes, Miley.
see….miley cyrus can learn a lot from her…they're about the same age and u dont see dakota showin off her bra and shit…maybe she should hang out with her instead of that wierd 21 year old famewhore bff of hers!
Didn't the girl have braces???
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope she enjoys life in the way all those girls deserves…… not with tons of men, alcohol, or rehab!
(well, maybe an Oscar
!!!)
I wish her nothing but the best
Thrilled for once. Not everything is gloomsday.
growned??? is this a word?
this little girl is ugly. remember how big and freaky her eyes were when she was younger? she looked like a fucking alien. the eyes are a little more normal now, but even so she looks like a big bug. she's rich, why doesn't she do something with those damn teeth?
