Young Hollywood

Is it just me or has Hilary Duff blossomed into a stunning young woman? The thing I love most about Hilary is her ability to stay grounded while living the life of a young, Hollywood starlet. She manages to simultaneously enjoy a successful career and personal dignity... I love that! I am sure it's hard. I am sure there are temptations. Just look at Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Like Hilary, Lindsay is also beautiful and very talented. I remember watching her in a remake of the Parent Trap when I was younger and Lindsay was a true star back then. But somehow fame and stardom got the best of her. Look at her now....unable to get future acting roles because of her diva behavior and wild antics, a second jail sentence coming up, drugs, reckless behavior...the list is endless. And Paris Hilton....the world was her oyster. Sure she built a lucrative brand created around her persona of a "ditsy heiress", so she must have some smarts. But again....jail, sex tapes, and 2 recent marijuana busts. Come on Paris! And let's not talk about her influence on young women. Two words..."that's hot"! Because of Paris (and others like her), we live in a culture where young girls expect fame for nothing, pretend to be dumb, and can't see past the goal of carrying a Chihuahua in their Pink Louis Vuitton Bag. The problem with these starlets is simply getting too much too fast. Some people, like Hilary, are blessed with maturity and self-awareness and can handle the spotlight with ease. However, when you aren't quite sure who you are as a person, you can't possibly attempt to be a role model for others. Side note: Isn't Hilary the picture of health? You don't have to be a size 0 to be beautiful! She looks fantastic!!!! And those shoes are to die for!
