You Might Want to Rethink
Dakota Fanning's Awkward Stage

Dakota FanningRachel Zoe, we've got a new job for you, and the client is already built like a 12-year-old, because she's 12.

Dakota Fanning's court jester/MC Hammer ensemble was seen at the Tokyo premiere of "Charlotte's Web" on Wednesday. The poor thing is in need of a pre-teen makeover.

While Dakota may enjoy dressing like she's in a fairy tale, this result was an unhappy ending.

108. LEAVE HER ALONE !

She is 12 and she looks very nice. I'm sure parents would rather have their girls want to dress like her.. than some hungry looking half naked preteen.

109. She is an awesome talent - will win an oscar one day. Her free spirit at a young age is awesome. Leave her the hell alone.

110. To #19 BJ and #20 Caroline - just because you let YOUR kids dress inappropriate for their age does not make it wrong for Dakota to dress like a 12-year old. You want to let your kids dress like adults and become sluts and whores like many 12-14 year old girls these days, giving blow jobs to boys because they "want to be liked" and be in the cool crowd - GO AHEAD, but don't make fun of her for dressing like a young lady. The pressure young girls suffer these days is enormous compared to our generation. Girls (and I do mean "girls" ) are dressing provocatively, even wearing thong underwear (please tell me why an 8 or 10 year old needs to wear thong underwear), which attracts the depraved sexual predators we all fear. I love Dakota and think it is quite refreshing to see a young girl in Hollywood dress her age. She is classy and cute and I find her to be a fabulous young actress. I certainly don't want to see her dressing like Paris or Britney!!! I cannot believe you could find it appropriate at all for TMZ to pick on a child. Shame on you TMZ and shame on BJ and Caroline for jumping on the bully-a-child bandwagon.

111. TMZ, you guys really should be ashamed of yourselves. She's only a child.

114. Well, you people were doing pretty good right up until BJ and Caroline (19 & 20 respectively).

The whole first page is correct TMZ... leave this kid alone and take this UNnews/gossip worthy story off the list.

115. 55. No way does she look cute or age appropriate. I don't see leg or cleavage. She is 12, time for her to slut it up!!!

James~ as a mom, you'd better pray to God almighty we never meet. There would be no amount of pain i could cause to your testicles that would cause even the slightest grin of satisfaction on my face. Although rest assured, i'd sure as hell try!There would be no rock heavy enough for you to slither back under that i couldnt lift it to beat your balls off. And James, that's just my reaction. You wouldnt want to meet my little girls daddy...I hope Dakota's daddy never reads your post.

Your sick and even if you were kidding around, it's not funny. Get help or stay safe behind that screen...

117. You must be out of material..for you to actually start talking about a child's fashion ..

Posted at 8:09PM on Dec 1st 2006 by Candice

118. I think she looks cute, what do you want her to dress like? For God's sake let her be a kid. It is about time someone isn't rushing into slutty adulthood.

119. Dear TMZ:
It is December 2nd and you still have Dakota Fanning's article on your site. What is with you, TMZ, that you need to make fun of a 12-year-old for looking sweet -- as a 12-year-old should look? Don't push her to look sexy like a lot of these "older" girls do - Lindsay, etc., etc. Sorry, but Dakota will NEVER dress skanky like a lot of the other young starlets do. Look at Britney Spears. 2 kids and getting divorced -- and acting like a slob. Her breasts hanging out of her tops and no panties on! What is wrong with her! You will NEVER see Dakota like this. She must have wonderful parents to have brought her up like she is. Dakota was on "Oprah" the other day with Julia Roberts and Dakota sat in her seat just like Julia -- legs crossed and acting like a lady. I have seen her on several other talk shows and she was the same sweet Dakota. She is what they call an "old soul". She is truely a "Star" in every sense of the word. Her acting is impeccable. Directors/Actors say she is wonderful to work with -- always prepared and is just as she looks - sweet! We don't see enough of this in Hollywood! YOU are use to the likes of Lindsay, Paris, Britney, Nicole, etc. She is ONLY INTERESTED IN ACTING and she will stay that way. She reminds me of Meryl Streep - a lady. LEAVE HER ALONE!! I guess you have to be a certain person to run a celebrity web-site. Without the likes of Lindsay, Paris, Nicole, Britney, et al, you wouldn't HAVE a celebrity web-site! Most of the people who make comments on your stories (EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE) use vulgar language, etc., etc. and you let them get away with it. I have never read such hateful and vulgar comments as I have read on your site. Shame on you for putting up with it!

120. After reading 8 pages of nearly unanimous opposition to this post, I've got to agree. She's a kid. Leave her alone. I'm going to venture that whoever wrote this 'piece' wasn't a parent.

"You might want to rethink" making fun of 12-year old girls in the future.
