Being Trashy is Getting Trashed
It seems that in todays entertainment world, the biggest icons are those that are always depicted in a sexual manner. It is thus not surprising that many teenagers are turning to eating disorders to try to become as thin and "perfect" as all those top celebs. Stars such as Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton are far from the ideal role models for todays youth. Yet they are perceived by these teenagers as the epitome of prefection, a person you have to look like if you ever want to be popular. This is far from the case, and other young actors in the entertainment industry are beginning to speak against these "bad influences".
Josh Hartnett has launched an attack on today?s young female stars like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, branding them as bad role models. The "Black Hawk Down" and "Pearl Harbor" actor says they?re self-obsessed and shallow, and are inspiring teenage girls, most of which constantly stare at the biggest name in entertainment, to be the same. "What scares me with pop culture is that people are starting to think that`s the way they should be," he says, voicing his concerns.
"Looking at my younger brother and sister and their friends, seeing my little sister`s friends looking to Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton - I just don`t think that`s anything to strive for. I don`t think those girls are too happy. And it`s like, the culture is so focused on a more self-oriented, kind of luck-based mentality. It`s just like get what`s good for you.? Josh isn?t the only one attacking modern teen stars, Julia Stiles recently spoke out about what she calls the ?Lolita phenomenon?. She says today?s young female celebrities rely on their sexuality to be successful and get famous.
