Dakota Fanning

Well, before I leave for Berlin with, hopefully, daily news reports, I just want to highlight two very funny segments associated to precocious child star Dakota Fanning. SNL did a hilarious skit with Amy Poehler as Fanning, hosting her own talk show. Amy Poehler is dead on too! Another clip is from a Japanese TV show from 2004, when Fanning was on the press tour for WAR OF THE WORLDS in Japan. Anyway, the two Japanese hosts bring in a very nervous, and sometimes, convulsing high school kid who is the president of a Dakota Fanning fan club. Watch the pure terror and hilarity here. I have to say that Dakota takes it in stride and has a lot of fun with the interview.
In the meantime, no need to mention all the hoopla and controversy surrounding her latest film at Sundance.
