Piggish attitudes like this are a big part of the reason why young girls are obsessed with thinness and become anorexic or bulemic.

That is very rude, and so are most of the rest of your posts!

Im not saying Id marry off my teenage daughter to someone but I guess my question is who is the one to say what is right and wrong?
Wasn't Brooke Shields only 12 in her first movie, in which she played a prostitute?
I don't know what age is acceptable for becoming a sex symbol, but growing that fast is kinda sad. Some personalities are more fragile than others.
To me, the most distasteful aspect is all the marketing and advertising, but if it didn't work, it would not be done.

I totally agree. What sort of mindset do people have who like this stuff! It is really scary, and it is a shame.

Wow, you took the time to read through my almost 6,000 posts to formulate an opinion of me being rude? Im honored. But I am far from rude and my rep points are a valid indication of this.

There is nothing rude about what I said as its a fact that Hollywood will not and cannot sell a young "starlet" who is obviously overweight as being "sexy". Producers will not buy it, the viewing public who spend their 12.50 on movie tickets will not buy it. While this may upset you and some of the other women who posted about my remark here, unfortunately THIS IS HOW IT IS!!!

I'm sorry, if your kid turns into a stripper, it isn't because she watched Miley Cyrus do her dance on the award show.

"But I am far from rude and my rep points are a valid indication of this"

Well, I am about 2,200 behind you in posts, but not all that far behind you in reps, and yet I have frequently been accused of being rude by some who disagree with me.

Actually, I was only referring to the posts on this thread., and I am not alone in objecting to your remark about that girl's weight.
BTW, I weight 118, so I am not defending myself.

Also, you have been on here over 6 months longer than I have. That accounts for some of the "more posts" and "reps" that you have.

if that's the case, what about other stars like Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore (has Mandy Moore EVER been involved in anything scandalous? and she is MUCH hotter than Miley), Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, and a bunch of other ones I can't remember now but are good looking and haven't gone down the tramp path yet?

if parents don't like Miley, stop letting your kids watch her TV show and CDs. stop buying the books and other merchandise. stop selling out the concerts and movies w/ your money. if you must pick a celeb to be a child's role model, it's not as if there's a shortage of proper ones

Hayden Panetierre is dating a 31 year-old guy......Vampires are now becoming "sympathic" creatures when they are truly the purest of evil. Porn stars are being mainstreamed on VH1 countdown shows and starring in mainstream movies.

Parents can only do so much.

Our young people are so swamped with filth. It is so difficult to help them keep their innocence.

I am sick of it.
Spare me, she did not even dance on it! She looked like a normal teenager walking around and it was not slutty. She is very beautiful and I do not believe she is being skanky. Is she supposed to get up and sing with a long robe on? Teenagers would never listen to her. Do you not recall being a teenager? I grew up in the 80's and we dressed differently, but we wore mini skirts and tight jeans! We surely would never watch some goody goody singer. I think she is very talented and just doing what entertainers do. I thought she looked really cute and the dancers and show were very talented. I am not even a teenager!
