Is Dakota Fanning Too Young To Be On The Cover of Cosmopolitan?

At only 17, Dakota Fanning is already gracing the cover of such sex-centered magazines like Cosmopolitan. Sure, it’s better than a 17-year-old being on the cover of Hustler, but should such a young star’s face appear so close to titles like “The Best Sex Ever” and “Hey, Vagina, What’s Up?”

Dakota to me will always be that cute innocent girl from “I Am Sam”. Watching her in all those PG family flicks makes me uneasy about the fact she’s slowly on her way to being a sex symbol.

Again, she could be posing in a more provocative magazine but this looks like it’s just only the beginning for Dakota. Wasn’t she in Seventeen last year? I know she’s growing and doesn’t want to be labeled a “child star” for the rest of her life and so this is probably her way of rebelling. I just hope she waits until she’s at least 35 to start negotiating Playboy prices.

Dakota Fanning Ad Banned in England

According to Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority, the above ad for Marc Jacob’s perfume featuring Dakota Fanning is deemed too sexually explicit. The Gossip Cop reports the ad has been banned in magazines and billboards.

The young actress is dressed like Lolita, posing with a gigantic bottle of Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume between her legs.

The organization issued a statement saying: “We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child.”

The Brits are taking things a little too seriously here. Dakota’s dress isn’t that show to begin with. Also, it’s not like she’s doing anything dirty with the bottle. It’s just sitting there on her lap like it were a cat or laptop. For a young star, Dakota’s been taking good care of herself, meaning she hasn’t gone down the Lindsay Lohan path, but I don’t think she ever will.

This is all just a case of Brittain’s Got ~~Talent~~ to Chill.

Now that she’s finished filming New Moon, Dakota Fanning has returned to a normal life as a cheerleader at Campbell Hall Episcopal High School in North Hollywood, reports E! News.

Fanning, 15, was named the school’s homecoming princess at Friday’s football game.

Anyone who didn’t get a chance to see her shake her pom-poms and show off her tiara can catch the star in the second installment of the Twilight series, which hits theatres Nov. 20.

Dakota Fanning may have only just turned 15, but the pint-sized actress is already attached to two high-profile pics slated to go into production this year.

First up is “New Moon,” the sequel to the novel-turned-movie, box-office hit “Twilight.” The studio, Summit Entertainment, has confirmed that Fanning will play Jane, an enigmatic, powerful vampire who is a member of the Volturi, an organized coven of blood-suckers.

Filming is slated to begin this month in Vancouver for a November release.

Variety reports that Fanning is also in negotiations to star in “The Runaways,” which chronicles the real-life rise-and-fall of the all-girl 1970s rock group of the same name.

Fanning will play Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie, who was also 15 when she made her debut with the band.

“Twilight” star Kristen Stewart has already signed on to play guitarist Joan Jett, who went on to solo success following the group’s breakup.

The film, which will be written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, is scheduled to begin production this spring.

Fanning recently appeared in the sci-thriller “Push” and voiced the title character in the animated fantasy adventure “Coraline.”
