What’s in the water over at Disney? I’m truly confused about it.
Britney Spears was a Mickey Mouse Club girl and a self professed virgin before…well you know what happened to her.
Christina Aguilera essentially went from little girl to dirty sexpot in two months.
Lindsay Lohan was the star of many Disney movies including “The Parent Trap” and “Freaky Friday” before she became a drug addled party girl.
Hilary Duff was the star of “Lizzie McGuire” before, at age 16, she began dating rocker Joel Madden, age 24; she shortly thereafter denied that she had claimed that she was a virgin, stating, “Whose business is that?”
Vanessa Hudgens, star of the huge hit High School Musical, appeared nude in a scandalous photo that hit the internet.
Now we have 15 year old Miley Cyrus in her tousled hair, bed sheet pose.
I wonder what’s going on over at Disney. Let’s first talk about on a business scale. These girls were all at the top of their careers when they were “good girls.” Then for some reason people sell them that the way for real money is in being bad. And one after the other go running off that cliff into oblivion, rehab, and VH1’s “Where are they Now?”
What’s next? Ariel will be found in a Motel 6 bathtub in an drug-related coma?
Belle brawling in a “Youtube” catfight?
In fact, has anyone heard anything about Tinkerbell lately?
But in the real sense, is there nobody there for these children? I mean, they all seem to go wildly off the tracks. Now I understand parenting has to come into play here and parents who push their children into show business probably have a screw loose somewhere but wouldn’t you think a corporation that owes its billion dollar product to child stars has some responsibility for protecting them…even a little.

I think Miley’s parents are responsible for those outrageous photos. Disney too but the buck stops with the parents. Look at LIndsey’s and Britney’s parents. They’re a mess.

I just wrote about this over at my place — it is a shame, pure and simple.
Maybe I am jaded, but I have come to believe that this was no accident or error in judgment (besides her parents, of course). This girl brings in 1 billion dollars a year (as quoted in news outlets), so you cannot tell me that her team of publicists and handlers didn’t know that these pictures were being taken and that they would be used in the magazine, whether Miley regretted them or not. For her to get to the “next level” of fame, she needs to make a break with her good girl image.
She is fifteen. Her parents should have put a blanket on her and taken her home. Period.

They all think this is the way to be taken seriously. Its a shame. And did you see the photos they took of Miley and her dad together? They were creepy.
