Dear Gofugyourself.com girls,
Usually I'm in total agreement with you about what happens when celebrities have more money than sense.
Usually, you're pretty good about not crossing any personal boundaries although, what the *frell* is your hard-on for Courtney Peldon (who has not played in any role that I can immediately think of and isn't really a celeb at all).
And usually, you target celebs that I don't mind seeing targeted.
But this time, I think you need back the *fuck* off.
Dakota Fanning is like, 10, dude. And I think that for five minutes in your young life, you should get to be un-self conscious and people should leave you alone. Even if you show up wearing socks with sandals and formal shorts and a bathing suit with a fur wrap. You should get to do that without having to worry about things.
Being a child star is hard enough.
Let her have just a little peace.
She will have her entire life for people like you to criticize and make catty comments about everything she ever wears. But she's a kid. So leave her alone. Let her be. There's bigger game out there and I really think you should pick on someone your own size this time.
Courtney Peldon is an adult, who can (I hope) make the rational and emotionally mature decision to decide that *wow* sometimes you guys have too much time on your hands and not take your comments personally. Dakota Fanning is not. She's a kid.
And even though it is well documented that you both are completely heartless and soulless - I still believe in honor among bitches.
ps - for this, you get the Turtle of Rage.

From Heather:
Thanks for the feedback! Still didn't like the dress. As for the rest, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree -- I don't think we've just sent her into therapy or onto a downward spiral. I just have seen so many photos where she's trussed up like she's made of plastic, and it's eerie, and as expressed in the piece I said I wished she'd get a chance to be more youthful. Hollywood is a foul place. I don't believe for a minute her parents aren't trying to cultivate an image of her as a veritable adult who only happens to be a child in linear years. I firmly believe they're selling something and it makes me sad. Let her be a kid. I stand by my right to be like, "What's up with that, Fanning parents?"
I respect the decorum and speed with which she replied, so that's in her favor.
However, I think my point was missed. My point being that *dude*. Dakota Fanning is a little kid. And even if you think her parents are the ones with the bad fashion sense and they make her look plastic, she's still a little kid. I think you have better things to do than to talk about what a 10-year-old (I think she's 10, could be wrong) is wearing.
Because Heather is right. Hollywood is an utterly foul place. But it seems like if it's within your power to make it just *that* less dastardly for this little kid by simply not posting *anything* then maybe you should.
Curse my bleeding heart.
