Dakota Fanning is one of those young actresses I find myself fascinated by. She’s so talented, so beautiful, and so completely fearless with the roles she takes. I remember watching her in Hounddog and thinking to myself that it really took guts to take on that kind of role at such a young age. I also like the fact that she seems to only take roles she’s interested in even if they’re low budget films. So many young women her age go for the roles that offer the biggest paychecks but Dakota seems to have avoided that. It’s weird for me to see how grown up she’s looking though. She still has that youthful attitude shining through in these photos from the Met Gala 2013 in NYC but there’s a maturity about her that seems beyond her years. This is a young woman that has serious staying power in this business and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see her accepting a Best Actress Oscar one day.

I love that the theme for the 2013 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC was ‘punk’. It brought out some really interesting looks. Some of them were interesting in a good way. Some were not. I think Christina Ricci’s plaid gown was interesting in the best possible way. It was glamorous but still stuck to the punk theme in a way that I really think worked. I don’t really find Christina Ricci all that attractive in general but I think that has something to do with the fact that I’ve been told I’m a dead ringer for her since I was but a teenager. I guess there’s resentment there or something. With that said, I think she’s an incredibly talented young lady who has never, ever gotten the respect she deserves as an actress. I hope that changes one day.

I absolutely love Zooey Deschanel. I have been in love with her since I saw her in “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and that love hasn’t waned in the slightest since then. Here’s the deal though. I really don’t like “New Girl”. I might be about the only person in the world who doesn’t and I’m fine with that. There were a few moments that made me laugh but overall, I feel like it’s a huge waste of Zooey’s talent. Remember Zooey’s guest appearance on “Weeds”? It was fabulous. I was hoping for something more like that. I hear it got better as the first season progressed but I bowed out after the first three episodes. Maybe I’ll check it out again someday. I suppose that’s beside the point. These photos, taken at the 2012 Winter TCA Tour Fox Panel, show Zooey doing what she does best – being adorable. I still love Zooey. I’m just not sure “New Girl” was the best career move she’s ever made. Then again, she was in “The Happening” and “Your Highness” – two rather bad movies that somehow failed despite incredible casts. Perhaps I’m just too picky.

Hilary Duff was at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala. Many of Hollywood’s celebrities turned up for the event. The theme for the night was Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy exhibition. This year’s honorary chair was held by the high fashion designer, Giorgio Armani. Several celebrites wore Armani creations to this event. Scarlett Jonasson was present to show off her engagement ring from her new fiance, Ryan Reynolds. It was a wonderful night of stars.
