Selena Gomez just finished a big run of promotional activities for her movie Ramona and Beezus and through all of that something very annoying popped up again. While it seemed like the age old “Selena Gomez is replacing Miley Cyrus as a Disney star” was dying down a bit, it started up again. While I’ve said things about that in the past all those new statements about it made me think a bit.
It’s probably not a secret that I prefer Miley Cyrus over Selena Gomez. I won’t say that one is the better actor because I just haven’t seen enough of either of them to make that final judgment. Miley has done The Last Song yes and to me that shows that she has potential but that she also has a lot to learn. What I’ve seen of Selena’s acting is DVD and TV stuff and there she’s only really played the same character over and over again. Will have to see how she does in tougher roles.
Though I would have to add, if we ever get to see her in tougher roles. Right now Selena just seems a bit too safe in her career choices for my liking. That’s always been my main gripe with Selena anyway, it’s all a bit too sweet. Also when I look at her music, it’s all safe standard pop, there is no message behind the music. Can’t say that I take her music career that serious, also when I see her performing live there just seems to be this little bit of stage presence missing. That’s besides using backing tracks which to me is a no no for a singer, especially when you go on a nationwide talent show to perform. Which Selena did while performing on the America’s Got Talent results show, I actually expected the buzzers to go off at one point. (more…)

In a lot of cases with child actors people and the media call them overnight successes, that they did one thing and it made them successful right away. Even though that’s true in some cases like Natalie Portman who became a recognised actress overnight with the movie Léon it’s not true for a lot of other child actors.
It can be funny sometimes if you look at filmographies and it turns out that you’ve seen them in movies before without even realising it. I’m not counting tiny guest spots on TV shows right now; if I did that I could be going on forever seeing that’s pretty much how every actor gets started.
The first time I really had that was when I was looking at the filmography of Jena Malone. Granted, she’s not really a superstar but she still gets a fair amount of movies done. At some point I did check out her filmography because I didn’t really know her, turns out I have a on DVD with the woman; Contact in this case which she made when she was twelve years old. Her role in that movie is better known for a difficult special effect (It’s extensively mentioned in the extras; Jena is running towards a mirror but you can’t see the camera. In 1997 that was a lot more difficult than it would be these days.). She plays the younger version of Jodie Foster in the movie. (more…)

As promised last week here’s the list of falling starlets of 2007. So mainly the people that have been going down on the Hollywood ladder. I’m fairly certain that there will be more people that disagree witht his one than with the Rising Starlets 2007 list from last week. The premise is the same in this case though, these views are only based on one opinion and that’s mine. I could of course be completely wrong and some of them might have dozens of secret projects lined up. But looking at the current situation the list comes out as this:

We all know that certain media outlets like to make up stories; a common source for stories are pictures. They seem especially interested in whether they can spot any possible surgical enhancements on celebrities. I can understand that, it’s part of their business and they use it to sell magazines. A thing I don’t get however why they sometimes focus on the younger generation?
A recent example of this is Hilary Duff, she has been seen wearing a dress that pushes up her breasts a bit and straight away websites and magazines are reporting she had implants put in. One picture isn’t proof, if you want proof you have to compare images over a longer period of time. After those pictures were released there have been plenty of pictures where Hilary looks as always, I don’t see them retracting any of their previous made statements though. Of course these sites don’t post this as facts but as rumours so technically they wouldn’t have to retract anything but it’s still annoying. (more…)

I’ve written about the singers amongst the starlets featured on this page before. Now that I’ve listened to more of their music in total I see a problem; not with their singing abilities but with pop music in general; it really has become a mass product.
What I mean by that is that 90% of pop music just lacks an identity of its own; you wouldn’t even notice if someone else was singing the song. In the past you could tell what band or artist was doing a song by listening to a song for about thirty seconds, that’s something rare these days. The explanation for this is quite simple looking at the singing actresses; they don’t write their own music. The music is written for them and in some cases even by the same people. I’m not judging the singing ability in this editorial; all of the girls mentioned can sing (or can be enhanced electronically enough). I’m just looking at the music itself.
Just look at the discography of Kara DioGuardi there are dozens of artists she’s written for on it. For this site the two main examples are Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan for who she took care of the bulk of the writing for all their albums. Kara is an incredibly talented woman, I doubt anyone manages to write that many successful songs but her success is also the problem. All songs might be different but most of the songs have a similar style which is just noticeable at times. (more…)
