What is the deal with Miss Hilton? Someone said someplace that she was going to be in a Guinness World Records book for the world’s “Most Overrated Celebrity.” As if! Can she act? Is she popular as a model? Double yuck! And getting out of prison early? Ms. Untalented skirting her accountability due to her terrific grandpa, or was it her celebrity standing?

Well, Britney was overtly sexualized from Day 1 of her career (her pop-singing career anyway), and always had legions of young girls as fans. I don’t think they started to drop away until she went on her whole crazy K-fed phase, and certainly now with her trainwreck phase.
I’d explain to my 10 year old, if I had one, that sometimes people overreact to high heaven. I personally don’t see the photo as a big deal, I just understand the way our news media, especially entertainment news media, operates. Actually, my 10 year old wouldn’t hear a thing about it, becuase I sure wouldn’t allow her to watch E! News when she should be outside playing with friends. Haha…

Sure this was probably calculated, but how much “smart” points can you really award her publicist? This girl stars in a wholesome family oriented show. Parents sit down and watch this stuff with their kids and have probably looked to Ms. Mini-diva as a role model for young Millie-Jane or Suzie-SomethingOrOther. Her career as a sex symbol could easily start young, it’s happened for others before her. But at what cost? If her fans start distancing herself from this behavior, is she enough of a star to start playing the sex symbol card (again at 15)? And a more family oriented question, if you have a 10 year old at home, how do you explain this?

I don’t know, ABC news (owned by Disney) did run a big story on it, poor George Stephanopoulos had to actually talk about this, you could just see him screaming in his head about how there’s a presidential election and a WAR going on, and yet Hannah Montana was one of the top stories.
Plus, I think they are protesting just a bit too much…some of their Disney princesses have worn less in their movies. Ariel even had a nude scene in the Little Mermaid!

I don’t think it was anyone from Disney. Walt would be spinning in his pneumatically sealed deep-freeze if it was.
