Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning is all grown up.

The actress, who rose to fame at the age of seven in I Am Sam, covers the December issue of InStyle UK and is asked for her response to the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal, considering Fanning has played a key role in The Twilight Saga's last two films.

"I just think that media frenzies like that," Fanning tells the magazine of the attention surrounding Stewart and Robert Pattinson." Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicize the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It’s like, ‘Why do you think you are the authority to judge people’s experiences?”

It's not a bad question.

Late last week, Stewart grew angry at a reporter who asked about her stats with Pattinson.

Dakota Fanning's appearance on the new cover of Cosmopolitan has sparked controversy. Reason being: she's 17 and the magazine is full of risque material.

Fanning, who turns 18 next month, appears gorgeous and grown up with dark eyes, light blonde hair and a form-fitting dress on the cover of the February issue.

That alone probably wouldn't draw fire from critics, but look the article teases:

Some say a minor shouldn't promote a publication with content such as “His Best Sex Ever,” “Too Naughty To Stay Here: But You Have to Try This Sex Trick,” and “Um, Vagina Are You Okay Down There?” But Cosmopolitan defended its decision.

“It is one thing to educate young women about sex and their bodies, but putting a young, underage girl on the cover of a magazine that had long been known to push the limits is sending the wrong message,” one media watchdog said.

Cosmo's response: "We’re thrilled to feature Dakota Fanning on the February cover and she looks stunning. Dakota, who turns 18 this month, is a mature, fearless young woman and we're proud to honor her as our Fun Fearless Female of the year."

The UK is not LOLing over Lola.

Dakota Fanning has joined the famous likes of Beyonce, Christy Turlington, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie by having a provocative ad campaign banned in Britain.

The nation's media elites decreed that Marc Jacobs' latest fragrance ad featuring Fanning cannot be displayed, as it fosters too "sexually provocative" an image:

They made the decision after deciding that the imagery was inappropriate and receiving complaints about the ad, which has actually been out since June.

The 17-year-old is seen wearing a short, girly nude colored dress, provocatively holding a bottle of Jacobs' Oh, Lola! perfume between her upper thighs.

The ad appeared in several magazines and newspaper supplements across the U.K., and yielded enough complaints from offended readers to force action.

Some complained that the ad is "irresponsible" and portrayed the Breaking Dawn actress in "a sexualized manner." Well, yeah, if you wanna get technical.

Does that mean it should be banned, though? Vote below:

Rumors of a love scene with The Runaways stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are heating up. According to numerous new reports online, the actresses will have an "intense love scene" in the film, set in a hotel room.

We're sure Kristen will be imagining Dakota is Robert Pattinson throughout.

Those on the set of the movie say Stewart has become so engrossed in character as '70s-'80s rocker Joan Jett that the two have become one and the same.

Here's Kristen, in character with her skin-tight rocker jeans, leather jacket and a black mullet, taking a spill on the set of The Runaways yesterday ...

Girls jealous of Kristen Stewart can at least enjoy this moment.

Despite taking a tumble, the 19-year-old actress was a trooper and finished off her day of filming before enjoying a celebratory cigarette at the end.
