I believe someone joked that she was going into rehab.
What a bunch of jerks. Dakota Fanning is so cute I would never say
anything bad about her.

Hopefully that she's just a precocious little cunt. I wouldn't apologize
for that. Hell, if I could ever get the planets aligned so that I'm a
casting agent and she's auditioning, I'd personally tell her that to my
face. She needs to be grounded.

Your an idiot!!
I think it's telling of the depraved vermin who run Hollywood
and live there that they could make a joke like that about
a very young person. One day, the cabal will be eliminated.

I have a slightly different take: that she's the best actress in
America. And she really doesn't even have any competition.
Does the FBI know?

I just read about it.
Kathy "Dumbass" Griffin repeatedly said Dakota was entering drug rehab.
And went so far as to mention it to the two teenage kids off "Arrested
Development."

Griffin was disgusting. If it was their attempt to add some
"irrevernce" to the show since they fired Joan Rivers, it
failed miserably. Most of the people she interviewed stood
there with their mouths open, dumbfounded. The Dakota thing
was just the tip of the iceberg.

I thought it was a refreshing change from every single other banal
interviewer on the three red carpet networks. For once, instead of "How does
it feel to be nominated?" or "Who are you wearing?" we got non-sequiturs
like "Who do you think is going to win The Amazing Race." The celebrities
with even the dimmest comedic bulb in their head got it, and those that
didn't, come on, you're talking to a well-know comedian.
Refreshing? Her bulb (and yours) must be completely burned out. Number
one, if you're watching awards shows, especially the red carpet portion
of them (on more than one network?), then you don't have much of a
life. Number two, if you think making jokes about a 10 year old being
in rehab is funny your an idiot.
Thanks.

You have to have thick skin. It's just a joke.

She is certainly precocious. I can see how that might be scary to some
people.
Sniff. How right you are trotsky. I couldn't agree any more with those
lovely words.

And I said this when?
IDIOT
Unbelieveable!

oh, heaven forbid if we ever use the word "precocious" as a negative

Couldn't agree with you more! I love precocious actresses! Mmmm...
precocious...
Can we please just all calm down here and stop the fighting? The
important thing is that that poor little girl is finally getting the
help she needs. Can't we just be happy for her?

Come on, aren't the problems of child stars an old cliche in Hollywood?
Griffin is hardly the first to make jokes about them, although it was
probably a bit much to hammer on just one kid as much as she did.
I think Drew Barrymore was almost this young when she became a drug
addict, and Fanning seems to be repeating Barrymore's career path by
getting so much fame at such a young age. And did Tatum O'Neal also
have a rocky childhood?

Natalie Portman turned out perfectly fine after her sex-romp in the
Professional (ie Matilda). If anything, she's relatively squeaky clean.

Yes, many child stars have managed to avoid the jinx. Jodie Foster also
comes to mind as one of the most successful to make the transition from
child star to adult star.
But that doesn't make the stereotype invalid. For every Jodie Foster
and Natalie Portman, there's Todd Bridges and Dana Plato.

You're comparing very bright, talented kids with kids who just happened
to get a job on a TV show.
Stereotypes are by definition invalid. In this case, the sterotype is
that one or two well-publicized cases apply to all members of the group.
Lessee. Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, Mickey Rooney, Roddy McDowall,
Helen Hunt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Allyson Hannigan, Hayley Mills, Petula
Clark, Shelley Fabares, Richard Dreyfuss...
