HollywoodLife.com consulted with a leading agent, manager, producer, director and casting director — and almost all of them agree: sex gives a career longevity in Hollywood!
Miley Cyrus and Taylor Momsen seem to have turned into Hollywood’s terrible twosome overnight. The 17-year-old starlets kiss girls, wear their underwear in public and constantly defy authority. Meanwhile, Disney actress Selena Gomez is every mother’s dream child — she’s wholesome, tactful and talented. Isn’t that the kind of girl who deserves the most success?
Sadly, that’s not the case in Tinseltown. HollywoodLife.com spoke with several A-list showbiz insiders who told us that if Selena keeps image squeaky clean for much longer, she’ll never see the same amount of success as her former Disney counter-part Miley or Gossip Girl starlet Taylor!
SERIOUSLY? WHY?
Selena seems “boring” next to Miley and Taylor…she doesn’t have the same appeal to older audiences
Holier than thou Selena COULD have a career like Dakota Fanning’s, a sweet-looking girl who lands gritty roles and earns rave reviews for her “real” performances. However, I think that because she got her start at Disney, and, relatively, a little late in the game, she may wind up being type-cast in exclusively pre-teen films. If she landed the young role that would show her to be a Reese Witherspoon-type, she could break free of cheesy movies, but I think that her squeaky clean image won’t do anything but keep her doing irrelevant and forgettable films. – Feature film and TV producer
Miley has the “It” factor…which is something Selena lacks
Miley is a force to be reckoned with. If she applies the same dedication to her work during and after this time of transition, she will keep selling out stadiums and movie theaters. — Feature film director
The bottom line? Sex sells and Hollywood is a business
This “cool kid image” Miley and Taylor are projecting is like gas on the popularity fire. I’d hang out with them! — TV casting director
Being a good girl might not be good for ticket sales, but it certainly helps book jobs! Studios want to know the starlets they cast are trustworthy and dependable
There is definitely a market for the wholesome young starlet, but more than that it shows that she has a good head on her shoulders and is thus likely to take her work more seriously and understand the importance of not wasting the opportunities she has been given. – Director
I think it is important to establish a difference between an on-screen persona and personal lifestyle choices. For Miley, the promiscuous outfits don’t carry over into a hard-partying lifestyle so she can still be on top of her game and make appealing music. But for Taylor, the trashy outfits are only the beginning. It points to choices that will eventually damage her career – if you are out all night partying then you can’t prepare for your meeting with a director at ten o’clock the next morning. — Director

We need to turn this slutty image that hollywood is trying to instill into these up and coming young stars around. I’m a young man in my twenties and have no problems dating girls but most of them seem to lack self-respect. Now you say that if Selena doesn’t change her career is done. Hollywood is only adding to demise of our generation by insisting that sex sells movies. It may be so but I think it’s time to for them to take responsiblity for their actions. Selena is a rarity that we haven’t seen in a long time. Please don’t try to ruin her just for your damn greed. She’s being fighting your type of people for sometime now and she still hasn’t change. She’s got self-respect,morals,principles,etc.which hollywood seems to have gotten away from. Apparently making money and degrading your stars is more important now days.

@Blaize…dressing and dancing whorishly DOES though which is what they do. I mean she’s freakin’ 17 years old and pole dances? Yeah she’s a whore! Now, Selena is amazing! She is so respectable. I would rather hang out a day with Selena then a minute with Miley. I don’t even know how Miley can continue her show knowing what she’s done. Her dad needs to knock some sense into her. Anyway, Miley will be out of “the game” in a couple of years and Selena will keep on doing what she feels right and I think that is what separates her from the rest of the little skanks running around Hollywood. Selena doesn’t have to change she’s doing fine. Bonnie is trash and needs to stop writing immediatley. She’s saying you NEED to be a slut to make it big. No, no you don’t!

Starlets should be allowed to express their sexuality. it doesn’t make them whores. Dressing and dancing sexy doesn’t make somebody a whore.

So basically they are saying all women in hollywood are Glorified whores. this is so sad! Many of the biggest stars did not come from trash. As a matter of fact look at Lindsey, brittany so on

Why should Selena change?So that they could use it against her afterwords and the media could gain viewrs and money out of her bad image like the 2 white trash Milley Cirrhosis and Taylor big nose…Shes a pure clean latina who inspires kids with her shows and because of that her shows wont be re-runs like Smelly Gator Teeth Milley.I hope she never changes to please the pervs.
