DAKOTA'S PROMISE

Tuesday

September 16, 2008 Dakota Fanning promises to live a good and clean teenage life.

American child actress Dakota Fanning, 14, has made a promise to live a clean and trouble free teenage life. She insists that she will not have an unwanted teen pregnancy, get any tattoos or piercings until she turns 18.She says that she has even sealed the pledge with a handshake in front of her mother, publicist, agent, and friends in this respect. Though the agreement was made in a playful way, the star of THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES insists that she meant every word she said.

“I swear I won’t do any of those things!” Fox News quoted Dakota as saying.

The teen star has shown in so many ways that she is a serious actress, and her poise and comportment in “Bees” is such a revelation that she’s likely to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress this year.

OUR NEW FAVORITE PICTURE

I AWAYS THOUGHT I'd be hard pressed to ever find a picture of Dakota that I liked better than this one:

For me this will always represent the quintessential Dakota, baby teeth intact, the "cute" factor is off the scale. However, in some of the recent pictures to come out of Toronto Dakota is absolutely "drop-dead" gorgeous. I dare say this picture below, is now my new favorite Dakota picture:

Isn't she absolutely stunning? What a beautiful girl Dakota is turning out to be. She's not beautiful so much in a classical sense as in a pure fresh faced "Girl-next-door" sense. I hate to say "I told you so," but "I told you so." Dakota is destined to be one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

DAKOTA WOW!

TORONTO—Yes Sir, that's my baby, no Sir, I don't mean maybe. Oh, WOW! Dakota Fanning seen here on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival for the world premiere of THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES. Looking absolutely lovely in a basic black dress, Dakota seems immune to what some might call the "awkward years." Dakota first captivated our hearts in 2001 as an adorable seven-year-old in I AM SAM, and as a fresh face pixie in UPTOWN GIRLS, MAN ON FIRE and CHARLOTTE'S WEB. Now that she's hit her teen years, Dak's ability to enchant our hearts and mind continues unabated. I dare say she just get's prettier every day, what a charming, lovely young lady she has become.

THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES, Sue Monk Kidd's acclaimed Civil Rights-era novel about a troubled South Carolina teen (Fanning) who finds redemption in an unlikely place, opens nationwide on October 17th.

WOW!
