Dakota Fanning Might Bare Fangs in Twilight

February 2nd, 2009

For Twilight fans, it seems speculating on who will star in the next movie, New Moon, is almost as exciting as reading the books or seeing the movie itself.

 

The latest in vampire-related gossip is that Dakota Fanning will play Jane, a terrifying bloodsucker who can use her mind to torture others. And now even the sweet-faced 14-year-old is starting to chat about the possibility herself.

 

"It’s definitely being discussed but it’s not set in stone," she tells Parade in a new interview. "It would be really cool to be a part of Twilight if it works out. I’m a big fan. I saw the first movie but I haven’t read all of the books yet, I’m working on it."

 

The Push star says baring her proverbial fangs in the role would serve to diversify her career, something she’s been working on since starting to grow out of her adorable child star days.

 

"I would be a vampire, which could really prove that I can be sweet, little Dakota Fanning and then I can be something different on the screen," she says, adding, "I can no longer do Lucy in I Am Sam. You have to grow up and I am doing it through films."

 

And growing up she is – in Push Dakota plays a sassy 14-year-old who swears, gets drunk and carries a gun.

 

"Most people haven’t seen me maybe as grown up as they will in Push," she admits. "But eventually I’m probably going to play the person that you hate. I think that’s the fun part about acting."

Mariah & Nick’s Baby Plans

January 16th, 2009

After seeing photos of them lovingly prancing around Aspen over the holidays in their matching red snowsuits, it’s clear newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are into practicing much more than their skiing! But when it comes to their baby-making plans, Cannon says–yes, it’s part of the grand scheme, just not yet.

"We’re definitely into planning a family and stuff but when everything calms down and we get the time," he told E!’s Mark Malkin at the Sundance Film Festival. "We’re just running and gunning now and enjoying being newlyweds."

Better watch out Nick! Too much "enjoying being newlyweds" can land you with a family real quick!

The couple may want to wait because they’re planning a collaboration of sorts. Cannon says, "It’ll be something more out of fun than serious. We’re going to do some comedy stuff together. You’ll see us this year doing some really funny stuff."

Cannon is in Sundance to promote his film The Killing Room, also starring Chloe Sevigny and Timothy Hutton. He’s also deejaying at tonight’s House of Hype party for the wifey’s new flick Push.

Of his own foray into film, Cannon says, "It was my first real chance to be a serious method actor. I lost like 20 pounds for the role. I didn’t eat. I slept outside. I didn’t comb my hair for a month. I went into seclusion."

But don’t expect Mariah to go to the premiere! "She likes fun, lighthearted comedies," he explains.
