Young Hollywood

If you are a regular Internet user or faithfully follow gossip shows on TV, chances are you’ll have an opinion on how out-of-control today’s young Hollywood stars are.

But to be perfectly honest, today’s young Hollywood stars aren’t any wilder or badder than the young stars of yesteryears. As a matter of fact, the shenanigans of such current tabloid fodder as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears look relatively tame when compared to the escapades of some of the young stars in the 1940s and 1950s. The major difference is that in today’s world of camera cell phones, podcasts and mobile Internet, today’s young Hollywood stars are thrust under a microscope in a way no other young celebrities before them have ever been before.

So the moment Britney steps off a car and exposes her privates, Internet denizens can get a glimpse of them minutes after the shot was taken. Some friends release pictures of Lindsay snorting cocaine, and every single gossip blog on the planet carries them. Jesse Metcalfe goes to the beach, takes his shirt off and exposes a less-than toned chest, people trumpet he’s got boobs. A single Vanessa Hudgens naked picture gets released, and it’s the story of the year. Sigh. No wonder young celebrities check in to rehab facilities left and right. What normal person could stand such overwhelming attention?

Speaking of normal people, there are still many like them within today’s crop of young stars, Britney et. al notwithstanding. Mandy Moore, for one, is normal to the point of being boring. Zac Efron, for all those nasty gay rumors and association with Vanessa Hudgens, is basically a normal kid with a great bod.

The point is, there will always be good and bad kids in showbiz, whether its 1937 or 2007. Today’s wild children, so to speak, are just the latest in a long line of wild Hollywood children, and are simply carrying the torch. In a decade or so, we’ll forget about how screwed-up Britney and Lindsay were and concentrate on tightening the screws on a new hard-partying teenager, the way we’ve forgotten that respected Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts was once a real-life runaway bride and had a string of lovers that would put Britney’s sex life to shame. See how short our memories are?
