Disney Continues Corrupting Kids

gossipmonkey says:  Yes, friends, we know that the Vanessa Hudgens story turns out to be nothing more than a nasty rumor.  However, it's not like it was so far fetched and impossible as to be entirely dismissed.  Click here to see our retraction/correction.

Poor little Vanessa.

If girls mature faster than boys, it appears that Disney girls mature even faster...much faster.  According to Why Fame? little Miss Hudgens was busted for drinking Sunday night at a club in Hollywood

by LAPD.   The bust will, undoubtedly, become yet another black eye for the Disney Corporation and their endless pipeline of pubescent programming including the ubiquitous "High School Musical" series.  They've got a right be upset but, then again, should Disney shoulder some blame for Miss Hudgens' misstep?

I mean, really, it's not as if Disney doesn't have some history here. In fact, there's been a long line of Disney teen queens who've gone wrong in one way or another.  Case in point: Lindsay Lohan.  She started working for Disney at age 11. By age 17, she was secretly - yeah right - "dating" Wilmer Valderrama. He was 23.  The breakup must have really taken its toll on her as she spent the next 4 years doing her best to prove that she was anything but a responsible adult and that just one trip to rehab wasn't going to cut it.  The rest, you all know kids.

What about sweet little Britney Spears?  She was just 11 years old when she joined the Mickey Mouse Club, same age as Lindsay when she got involved with Disney.  Before she hit 17 she was begging to be "hit" one more time on her debut album.  Not only that, but her midriff baring, Catholic school girl uniform wearing video to support "One More Time" helped fuel an age-old fantasy of males ages 14 - 40.  A couple of albums and one horrible reality tv show later, our princess is an drug addicted divorcee with little to no parental rights, a squandered fortune, and a career that has moved from pop diva to a cautionary tale - a paparazzo's wet dream every time she waddles to the neighborhood Quickie Mart.

So is it so shocking that Vanessa Hudgens participated in a bit of kiddie porn - you know you've all seen the pictures - at age 15 and was recently caught imbibing illegally?  Hey, it's Disney.  Plus, she's 19 and has a very nice, cross dressing boyfriend, Zac Efron.  I say blame Disney.  Or, her parents.  It's really hard to say.
