They Really Are Tainting Your Kids

It’s true, all the shit I’ve talked about the slut whores of Hollywood and their impact on little girls around the world is reported in this latest Newsweek feature titled “Girls Gone Bad.”

Paris, Britney, Lindsay & Nicole: They seem to be everywhere and they may not be wearing underwear. Tweens adore them and teens envy them. But are we raising a generation of ‘prosti-tots’?

Something’s in the air, and I wouldn’t call it love. Like never before, our kids are being bombarded by images of oversexed, underdressed celebrities who can’t seem to step out of a car without displaying their well-waxed private parts to photographers. Videos like “Girls Gone Wild on Campus Uncensored” bring in an estimated $40 million a year. And if US magazine, which changed the rules of mainstream celebrity journalism, is too slow with the latest dish on “Brit’s New Man,” kids can catch up 24/7 with hugely popular gossip blogs like ninjadude.com, tmz.com or defamer.com.

But while boys are willing to take a peek at anyone showing skin, they’re baffled by the feuds, the fashions and faux pas of the Brit Pack. Girls, on the other hand, are their biggest fans. A recent NEWSWEEK Poll found that 77 percent of Americans believe that Britney, Paris and Lindsay have too much influence on young girls. Hardly a day passes when one of them isn’t making news. Paris Hilton “was always somewhere, doing something,” says Melissa Monaco, an 18-year-old senior at Oldfield’s boarding school for girls in Maryland, who describes herself as a recovered Paris Hilton addict. “I loved everything from her outfits to her attitude,” she says. And it’s not just teenagers. Julie Seborowski, a first-grade teacher at Kumeyaay Elementary School in San Diego, says she sees it in her 7-year-old students: girls using words like “sexy,” singing pop songs with suggestive lyrics and flirting with boys.
