Disney (DIS) has recruited another clueless child, whose parents are undoubtedly surfeited with the idea of becoming multimillionaires, to be its next multimedia star.
The new member of Disney’s stable is Demi Lovato, who is 15 but looks 27. She joins Miley Cyrus, who is also known as "Hannah Montana" to make records, movies, and TV shows. According to The Wall Street Journal, "For Disney, there are few more crucial tasks than finding and developing talent that appeals to 8- to 12-year-olds."
The moves may be good for Disney, but who remembers childhood stars Drew Barrymore and Britney Spears. Spear is so crazy that she roams the moors of Hollywood like the hound of the Baskervilles.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the entertainment company’s latest star will run into personal trouble over time, but the odds are not in her favor.
