Pop Spy: What's Trending Today in Entertainment and Gossip

Dakota Fanning is blasé about her first nude scene

The onetime child star is all grown up

For a child star, Dakota Fanning has tried to live a relatively normal life. She was a cheerleader and a homecoming queen at her high school, and she donned a cap and gown for her 2011 graduation. Now she's doing something a lot of teens do: getting naked on camera. Dakota did her first nude scene for the forthcoming film "Very Good Girls," in which she and Elizabeth Olsen attempt to lose their virginity before heading off to college. Not surprisingly for an actress who shot a controversial assault scene in "Hounddog" at age 12, she's pretty laidback about the experience. "Yeah, well, I've never done that before, and I'm very newly allowed to do that," Fanning tells MTV News. "I was newly 18, so yeah, it was, it's kind of a sensitive thing, but it's a part of life."

At least she's not a train wreck yet like most other child stars.

Something tells me this beautiful young woman is wise beyond her years.  I doubt she's doing anything she doesn't want to do.

Back in the day, child stars like Shirley Temple and Judy Garland would be about 18 or 20 before they would get their first "screen" kiss.  Now, they go from 13 year old Disney stars to their first "screen" porn at about 16.

A movie whose main plot line consists of main characters trying to lose their virginity! Wow! Amazing! No one has ever done that storyline before!  Oh wait!

 

Little Darlings!

Porky's

The Last American Virgin

Losin' It!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Superbad

American Pie

 

YAWN! Two girls trying to lose their virginity isn't much of a storyline. It's like a making a movie about a cake trying to get eaten by a fat kid. File this bit of news--and indeed the movie--under "Who cares?"

REMEMBER MARILYNN MONROE--WHEN THEY FOUND NUDE PICTURES OF HER WHEN SHE WAS POOR AND NEEDED MONEY FOR FOOD AND SHE WAS A RISING STAR, HER REPLY WAS, ''THAT'S  ME''. EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT THOSE PICTURES WOULD DESTROY HER CAREER, INSTEAD THEY HELPED LAUNCE HER FAMOUS LIFE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH NUDITY, IT'S JUST THAT SOME PEOPLE  EXPOSE IT IN THE WRONG LIGHT.

And so now for the millions of teen boys everywhere--and perhaps a few middle aged perverts--the wait is over! I just hope she doesn't rely on nudity to boost her career, otherwise her career will be over when she's in her 40s. Look at Sharon Stone!

Did she wait til the day after she was 18 so it wouldn't be "child pornography" ?  Considering she isn't even 19 yet, it must have been pretty close.

What, with all the gay writers, child porn not an issue with them.. Stay away from " druggy friends ", my advise to her.  They are not friends, but bad influence !!

why did she feel the need to go nude, very pretty, talented young actress from disney turning into what every young actress does because they feel they aren't good enough the way they were. Nude doesn't improve your acting.

Is unfortunate that the benchmark for a male child actor's transition to adulthood tends to be a dramatic starring role, while that of a female child actor always seems to be when she does the inevitable nude scene...

DO YOU HAVE PSYCH PROBLEMS ? I LIKE TO WRITE IN CAPS OR ARE YOU AN EARTH BOUND GOD WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GOVERN THE LIKES AND DISLIKES OF US MORTALS. I HAVE AN IDEA FOR YOU, IF YOU SEE CAPS-- DO NOT READ ON--YOU WILL SPEND MUCH LESS TIME STRAITENING OUT YOUR WADDED UP PANTIES. AS FOR MY SPELLING MY LORD, SOMETIMES I PUSH THE WRONG KEY, I MAKE MISTAKES, AND I AM HUMAN. OH FORGIVE ME SWEET LORD AND WATCH DOG OF THE INTERNET, MAY ME SINS OF CAPS NOT COMPEL YOU TO VANQUISH ME FROM YOUR PERFECT WORLD OR AT BEST YOU WILL REALIZE THAT IF THAT IS THE ONLY COMMENT YOU CAN COME UP WITH IN YOUR REPLY THAT YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKE UP MAY NEED SOME SERIOUS ALTERATIONS FROM PROFESSIONALS THAT IT IS OBVIOUS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN OR VISITED  TO THIS POINT. THEN THERE IS THE OTHER OPTION ,''BITE ON IT''.

I wouldn't mind filming a nude scene with her.

For anyone to think this okay or that she's got her stuff together...give me a break!  This kind of choice indicates quite the opposite.  Morally bankrupt...totally heartbreaking.

As long as she isn't that annoying chick she played in "War of the Worlds" with that weirdo Cruise, I can handle her.
