Same Pattern, Different Stars...

I've done a little research into this next topic area and quite frankly I'm disturbed by how quickly stars have (and can) become corrupted thanks to the all too easy trails left to follow by stars that have preceeded them.

Let's take a no-brainer for an example here: Britney Spears was at one time the lollipop princess of pop if you will. All the kids loved her and their parents encouraged these starstruck kiddies to follow in Britney's footsteps of musically inspired whimsical innocence.

Then to appeal to a larger audience (not 'just' girls anymore), the sexual aspect was introduced albiet harmlessly but with inevitable consequences later on, leading to further and further sexual undertones not just in her dancing, but her lyrics are enough to excite some people!

I give to you, exhibit A: Britney Spears bio in the form of a time framed picture. Notice the earliest photo where all we can see is virgin purity and no interest other than entertaining through music. We all know what happened next..

The next picture here is a little more disturbing as Miley Cyrus is only 15 (correct me if I'm wrong) and has even been approached by Hugh Hefner of Playboy Magazine! Billy Ray Cyrus's sweet little princess is, when you stop and think about it, is well on her way to become the next fallen star.



At least this gives us time to ponder how exactly this star will crash and burn. On the other hand Britney was how old when she 1) Dropped her baby, 2) Claimed she was still a virgin, or 3) Shaved her Head.. Miley has big shoes to fill.

It's really quite sad when you think about it, but well it seems that once this path has been chosen the lifestyle really takes over and our stars just take that to heart. Word to the wise: Be careful what you wish for, unless it's a bald head.. that never hurt anyone!
