Dakota Fanning's Fresh-Faced Day on "Good Girls" Set

Looking a little frumpy in costume for her new movie "Very Good Girls," Dakota Fanning worked on location in New York City today (July 31).

Walking beside co-star Peter Sarsgaard, the "Runaways" actress wore a navy button-down shirt with black pants, and a loose hair braid.

Non-twin Olsen sister Elizabeth joins the 18-year-old as their characters pact to lose their virginity during the summer out of high school. The two friends end up falling for the same street artist.

In related news, the blonde beauty can soon be seen in the drama "Now Is Good" with Jeremy Irvine. Miss Fanning plays Tessa Scott, a girl dying of leukemia who makes a bucket list which includes the goal of losing her virginity.

Though she's American, the "War of the Worlds" actress reportedly delivers a surprisingly good English accent among her cast of all Brits, according to UK magazine Grazia. The movie comes out in September. Watch the trailer below!

Gymnast Gabby Douglas' Mom: A Party "No Matter What"

Her daughter may be called the “flying squirrel” for the way she flies across the uneven bars and for stretch and height she achieves on her leaps. Her mom should be called “Ms. Grounded” for seeming to have it all in perspective, even as her daughter, 16-year-old Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas, is poised to become a household name. She is one of only two American women who will compete for gold in the all-around gymnastics final. She and her teammates will also try to become the first American women’s team since 1996 to win team gold on Tuesday.

You know these people are driving so far out of their way to come in and to perform and put themselves out there," Spears explains, in the clip posted on Idolator.
