Originally Posted By mele Well, they're just artists, everyone! Lay off! Billy Ray defends his daughter's pole dancing performance at the Teen Choice Awards to Access Hollywood, "You know what?

He continued, "I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion.” "I give my kids a lot of freedom to make the art they wanna make, and make it in their own voice.” ____ All while he's rolling in the dough his "entertaining" daughter pulls in.

She said she didn't really know, she just needed a song for her album and that was the one she picked. Yes, she's so dedicated to her craft.

In a 'normal' family, child protection services might wan't to take a look into this. But since they're rich, they are (somewhat) above the law. UGH!!!!!

Sure they were lip synching to songs like Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue or Back That Azz Up by Juvenille(how pathetic is it that I know that).
Originally Posted By mele There's a tv show (on A&E, I think) about kiddie pageants. They are terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Theres absolutely nothing positive about kiddie beauty pagents. IMOHO I feel horrible for those little kids and get so angry at thier parents. DAR,I know how you feel.

My mon used HOOCHIE KOOCHIE in her time. Both create a vision very familiar to me. I checked out the link & thought those short dresses? slips? nightgowns? were waaay over the line. Good ole' dad must be feeling the $ pinch since Miley is not going to be doing Hannah anymore & decided to take it one step beyond to another lower level. Never mind thinking of what this will be doing to his girls. $makes for strange bedfellows-excuse me-parents.

Originally Posted By murfsmom If you look around Dl, malls and wait to pick up your child from school and get a look at some of the out fits these kids have on, you'll see that people are buying this trash ! It all boils down to"who's the parent ?"
Originally Posted By Tandelothien ^^Yep I see it all the time. Kids who still have their baby fat and no development to speak of, running around shopping centres dressed like Mariah Carey...on their own! I mean geez, paint a bullseye on your child!
Originally Posted By mele I'm amazed that the Cyrus family hasn't pulled back a little and reexamined their parenting after so much reporting about their children. I mean, I realize they're pimping their kids out of pure greed but you'd think they'd realize that public opinion usually affects the bank account at some point.
