Hannah Montana and Twitney Spears.

[RICHARD]

I opened up my web browser and say a picture of some chickie......Good looking....then I saw it was HM....Like WTF is Booby Ray Cyrus thinking?

It gives me the creeps when I see some good looking lady - who is some prepubescent kid all trolloped up like a harlot.

It's bad enough to put your child out there as an "actress" but to allow here to be sexualized like that? I guess when you cannot make a living off of a one hit wonder you have to sell out your spawn?

Ugh, it makes me feel so skeezy....

And, I saw the story of the woman who wrote the essay to win the tickets for her kid...I wonder what Ms. Cyrus thinks about that?
--------

I was watching some Mex TV and saw a 'fortune telle/card reader" predict that Spears was going to kill herself this year.....

I have to say that I don't do cards or fortunes, but I suspect this dude was pretty freaked out about the prediction..

I wonder how many people picked her for their Dead Pool?

It doesn't matter what Miley Cyrus thinks about the contest; it had nothing to do with her. The contest was sponsered by a company that is completely seperate from "Hannah Montana".

As for her all "trolloped up," I have never thought she looked bad or like a 'trollop.' I always thought she looked nice.

Ahem,

Isn't she the grand prize?

Forgive me,

13-14 year old girls dressed to look like 20-25 year old women are little Lolitas.

And the parents who promote them are pimps.


It make my heart Ackey Breaky.

[lady_zana]

Concert tickets were the grand prize. She had nothing to do with the company who bought the tickets or with the person who won them.

And I've never seen her dressed like a Lolita. I've always thought she looked nice.

And as for her parents being "pimps"....I've never heard Cyrus saying anything like Jessica Simpson's father did - "You can't hide her Double D's." Now *that's* a parent being a pimp.

[moosmom]

The Cyrus's are great parents and their daughter is someone to be proud of.

Ya wanna talk about pathetic parents, does Spears/Federline ring a bell? Now THOSE kids are gonna be in therapy for the rest of their lives.

I guess It was my perverted mind that saw it that way.



Jamie Lyn is hotter than Mylie anyway.

[Jessika]

Jamie Lynn may be hotter, but at least Hannah Montana hasn't gone and got herself knocked up........ yet.

I tihnk all these young girls are just trying to grow up too fast in the spotlight, and that's hard to do. I haven't necessarily saw herself dressed inappropriately, she was always pretty decent, I just dislike her because she's EVERYWHERE and it's just annoying

[critter crazy]

I have yet to see Hanah Montana look like a trollop!! I think she has a very level head on her shoulders, unlike many of the other Twits out there!! I think she is a very classy young woman, who is going to go very far in her life. I would be very proud of her, if she were my daughter!!

Here are some comments I read in Maclean's magazine on this very topic. Interesting....

(published) Nov 12, 2007 Story: "THE TABS: NO MEN ALLOWED"
JAIME J. WEINMAN | November 2, 2007 |

Is there a double standard in celebrity gossip? If not, why do gossip publications mostly go after women? Even though most of the biggest movie stars are men, when you're leafing through In Touch or Star or the dozens of other celebrity dish sources, you mostly read about the tribulations of living women like Lindsay Lohan, or dead ones like Princess Diana.

Bonnie Fuller, editor of the popular tabloid Star magazine, says they don't yet have "a big male star who's going to have crossover appeal to both sexes." What gives a star the broadest appeal, apparently, is being a woman and being in trouble. Though you'll read about celebrity couples in gossip magazines — Fuller says that Brad Pitt is "integral to the dynamic" of the beloved Brangelina cover stories — you'll rarely read about men getting into trouble. At least not without women like Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston to get them into that trouble.

Of course, sometimes a male star goes so spectacularly wrong that the gossip magazines have no choice but to feature him. But they seem to do it almost grudgingly. When Owen Wilson attempted suicide in August, TMZ.com, which started up in 2005 and almost instantly became the leader in lurid celebrity-stalking sagas, gave remarkably little attention to the story, even though it was one of the first sites to break it in the first place. After reporting on the basic facts of the case, TMZ and its founder and editor, Harvey Levin, started moving on to other subjects, doing very little to investigate the reasons for Wilson's depression. Gawker.com, a site that covers the world of gossip coverage, pointed out how different this was from TMZ's literally 24-hour coverage of Lindsay Lohan and her arrest for cocaine possession. "Why aren't they updating us on his every move?" wrote Doree Shafrir at Gawker.com. "Why haven't they talked to 'friends' and his brothers and anyone who ever took a crap within a 12-mile radius of him?"

Liz Smith, the veteran gossip columnist, pointed out in print that photos of Matthew McConaughey falling down drunk were being treated with indulgence and even amusement, whereas the same photos would have caused a Lindsay Lohan to be "branded an out-of-control tramp." In an interview with Maclean's, Smith adds that there are other male celebrities who aren't getting a rough enough ride from her profession. "When Robert Downey Jr. was arrested for drugs, over and over, and eventually went to jail, his problems did not receive one-tenth of the heat and light that has been rained down on Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Britney Spears for their drunk-driving and drug addictions."

Does that mean that men can never become tabloid villains? Yes, they can — but unlike women, they can't become villains for living too hard or too fast; they have to display racism or bigotry to get on the front pages. TMZ managed to wreck Michael Richards' career with one blurry cellphone video. Few people were interested in Mel Gibson's drunk driving, but when he made anti-Semitic comments while being arrested, that was enough to make it a major story.

Emily Gould, a writer for Gawker.com, explains that the tabloids simply reflect the traditional double standards: "A guy who stays out late and parties a lot is a player, and a girl who does the same thing is torn to shreds. Nothing's changed." So while women are still supposed to be clean-living, the tabloids share our boys-will-be-boys attitude to men — although they'll punish an Isaiah Washington for being insensitive or intolerant.Put it all together, and you can see a strange pattern emerging: the purpose of tabloid gossip, it seems, is to punish celebrities for bad behaviour. It's just that the definition of bad behaviour is different for men than for women, and not just in gossip columns.

KENNETH WHYTE | November 15, 2007 |

The '60s was a social phenomenon in which a generation of kids had the moral high ground on their parents. That had never happened before. The youth were against the Vietnam War, they were for women's rights. There was tremendous illusion that younger people know more than older people. That's not true. So what happened to every generation since that generation? Do I have the moral high ground on my father? Do my kids have that over me? No possible way.

Jazz is adult music, it's not appealing to kids...I'm there to teach them. You don't have a bunch of prodigies in jazz, 12- or 13-year-olds. So when you say, why do [young people] only want to sit in front of television and look at somebody naked shaking their ass? Well, the answer to that is obvious. Wouldn't you want to do that when you were 12 or 13?

I think that there will be a generation that will reject [it]. If your introduction to sex is pornography and you're 12 or 13, one or two generations of that — it's going to come through girls more than boys — they're going to get tired of [it]. When you notice all the younger women who are suffering, like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and all these people who are kind of victims of this system, and then people prey on them, 250 people taking photographs of them, since they were 12 or 13 years old, selling themselves in that way for the consumption of adults and for kids. It seems we have the inability to look at our system and say, "Man, how did we get to this point?"

Q: Why do you think it'll be young girls[rejecting it]?

A: I think because they're the greatest victims of it, and a victim of something always is the one who wants it to be removed. Like, who wanted to be free more than a slave?

I have never seen Mylie Cyrus look trashy, either. It seems to me that, for a famous child of a famous parent, she is pretty "normal". I think her parents are doing a pretty good job of seeing that she is not growing up too fast. Of course, that's may just be how things are portrayed to the public. But I get the impression that they are pretty genuine.

And all the gossip and overexposure of these and other girls wouldn't be happening if the public wasn't asking for it. Suppy and demand. If and when these particular girls stop selling magazines they will stop appearing on magazines.
