Sooner or later someone has to ask this

Why is it that every teen-age starlet turned out by Walt Disney turns out, as soon as she turns 16 (or even sooner) to be a committed public tart?

That surprises you? Look at Annette. (Though the dynmaics were different then.)

Basically, anything for money, and sex sells.

I can think of more than a few who aren't public tarts.

Brenda Song - 20.

Tia and Tamara Mowry - 29

Others whose name escapes me and I lack the time to google.

One doesn't think about them because they're not in the news for being tarts, I suspect.

One big part of the ones we see now has got to be bad parenting. I don't even think it's good parenting to want that kind of life for your child.

Because they are groomed to expect the attention and in modern American culture nothing get you attention like being a tart (OK, well maybe being discovered to be a serial killer with body parts in your fridge, but that's not exactly the key to *lasting* fame ... )

And they all wanna be Madonna.
