COMMENT | Childhood stars have not been doing well in today’s television shows. Former Disney star Lindsay Lohan of “The Parent Trap” and “Herbie Fully Loaded” recently had a photo of her mashed together showing how much she appears to be only a decade older. Entertainment Weekly posted the viral video to its website on April 5.
Less than 24 hours later, the Los Angeles Times reported the arrest of former Nickelodeon actress/singer Amanda Bynes. about the suspicion of God in West Hollywood. Her The problem was that she tried to pass off the car squad as the star of “What a Girl Wants”.
Added to the mix was Miley Cyrus’ claim in November that she was smoking “way too much… weed” when her friends gave her a Bob Marley cake for her 19th birthday. The Los Angeles Times states that Cyrus is talking about the health effects of smoking at the same time.
When these girls turned 18, the restrictions imposed on them by Disney were apparently discarded. Thank goodness there are other role models to aspire to from the ranks of adult stars. Hilary Duff recently became a mom with her retired hockey star husband Mike Comrie. Christie Carlson Romano ended it at Disney with “Even Stevens” and “Kim Possible” going to Broadway. raze musical performances.
What about child stars who turn to drugs and alcohol? Is the pressure too much? Im trying to figure out why these girls don’t read their history. Do the names Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and more recently Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger mean to these people?
Hollywood simply rejects them without conscience. In the happy-go-lucky world of the Golden Mouse, there is a hidden danger that they will end up acting like John or Cyrus. The pressure to maintain a high profile has torn families apart, destroyed the lives and even killed some of the most famous characters long before their time.
What is even worse is that they actually offer their lives on the altar. King of Pop Jackson’s every act was set by record labels and executives. Lady Gaga is the same way – the woman behind the picture certainly doesn’t cook meat everyday. The irony of Lady Gaga’s gig is that she says you can be whatever you want, except in her case she hides an act that hides the truth.
One final consideration is the culture in which we live. Americans love to cling to actors, actresses and athletes as their successful heroes. My reason is that our husbands leave us every day. While mom and dad put their kids in front of the television instead of becoming heroes for their children, Hollywood lives on high life as our society happily pays money for musicals and the film‘s star will show our favorite models.
We all need everyday heroes. We don’t need to put the Bynes girls on base just to have them lose their lives.
