By Edengossip&rumor The 90s stars’ transition Disney girls gone wild! Is the 'Spring Breakers' act old news? By Lauren Schutte, NBC News contributorFROM Annapurna PicturesThe stars of "Spring Breakers," from left, Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine.Director Harmony Korine’s sex, drugs, and violence-riddled "Spring Breakers" opened nationwide last weekend after a massive publicity blitz突然袭击that capitalized on the scandalous诽谤的coming-out party of its former Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens along with ABC Family's Ashley Benson.The sexualization of the "Wizards of Waverly Place"and "High School Musical" actresses was met with condemnation from some corners. At , a review said that parents "will need to be prepared to explain -- yet again -- why their kids should avoid seeing their childhood icons depicting the most deplorable of adult behaviors." Billy Bush of Access Hollywood weighed in on the movie and how he told his-year-old daughter she was not allowed to see it. "'Spring Breakers' is rated 'R,' it's raunchy糟糕的，猥亵的, it's filled with sex, drugs and violence," Bush said. "A lot of teenagers that grew up with Selena and Vanessa have seen the commercials and they think they're ready to see the movie. Safe to say, I think they're not."But, instead of nationwide outrage at the box office, the indie movie ended up exceeding expectations, pulling in over $5 million, more than covering the reported $2 million it cost to make.Remember when Britney Spears announced she was "not that innocent" through the lyrics of her 2000 hit "Oops I Did It Again"? The world was shocked. The pop singer had found fame on a platform of purity and watching her transition into a sexualized adult was a hard pill to swallow难以接受for many, namely the parents of her massive tween and teenaged fan base.Spears was taking part in what has become a celebrity rite of passage for teenaged stars hitting their 20s: she was a "good girl gone bad." These days the practice of youthful stars shed ding their innocent images is so frequent it's almost expected.It raises the question: Have we become desensitized to the storyline?Yes, says Michael Levine, an image consultant and founder of Levine Communications Office. "As we become a more and more and more and more technologically sophisticated society, we become, by definition, a less reverent恭敬的，虔诚的, less sacred society," he said. "Things that 10, 20 years ago would be absolutely unthinkable have become more normalized," 从难以置信到习以为常adding that, "many of these girls benefit from the controversy and the edginess." managing editor Keith Simanton also argues that the idea of watching previously categorized "innocent" stars show a naughtier side incites intrigue."I think there was very much the 'Black Swan,' Mila Kunis-Natalie Portman curiosity factor there that drew people in to see 'Spring Breakers,'" Simanton said. "[The film’s marketing] didn't leave much to chance that there was going to be something steamy going on." Gomez, 20, and Hudgens, 24, are in crowded company when it comes to pushing the boundaries of their squeaky-clean Disney images."Remember when Miley Cyrus did that spread for Vanity Fair with Annie Leibovitz?" Simanton asks. "You look at those photos now and they're, like, not a big deal. But at the time it was, 'Oh my good Lord!' It seemed so shocking because here was this sweet really ebullient gal（=girl）who shows us a dark side, which didn’t fit our perception." Simanton says the desire to mature and move on from the persona that made their mark also applies to male actors in the biz."You look at Zac Efron in "The Paperboy" -- what’s he’s trying to do? He’s trying to shed that image. Let's try andnot have you think of me as Troy Bolton [his 'High School Musical' character] dancing around in the gymnasium."（it seems that actors are sheding their imagein audience’s heart in order to achieve various roles^0^)Gomez, Bensen and Hudgens aren’t the only ones taking on riskier roles this year. Emma Watson, of wholesome Hermione Granger fame, is set to star in a notably more mature role this summer in "The Bling Ring." The film’s trailer shows the 22-year-old star robbing homes, dancing seductively and crying in court -- a massive departure from her "Harry’t expect a blowback（=negative effect？）from Watson's mature role selection."I think it's different because she's a movie star, she's not a TV star. She's basically known for eight movies and she’s shown up over a long period of time changing herself," Simanton said. "With TV -- this is why actors both love and loathe（=hate）getting TV roles because a) it’s steady work, but b) if it’s successful, you’re Frasier Crane for the rest of your life. You’re Gilligan. ... Her being Hermione Granger was more of a role. You really don’t know who Emma Watson is, but you feel like you know who Miranda Cosgrove is and you kinda feel like you know who Miley Cyrus is or those two kids on "The Suite Life of Zach & Cody," because you saw them every week."...........................It’s hard pill for us to swallow,isn’t it?╮(╯_╰)╭fashion&style Modern qipao—The Beauty that Never Perish From Chinese Unique Boutique（Chinese Unique Boutiques, is afashion blog who offer Chinese fashion News, especially Chinese traditional Fashion and Boutique.）Cheongsam was so brilliant in women’s life, like blossom flowers that never perish, lingering in the dreams of countless gentlemen.Woman who wears a cheongsam do not need to deliberately make the elegant or gentle expression.

The countries that make up the Horn of Africa - namely Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti - are currently experiencing one of the worst famines in history, due to widespread drought."We had the idea already to make limited edition scarves based on theAfrican-inspired plaid from the fall show(秋冬时装周？）, but when we became aware of the crisis, we all thought that it made perfect sense to donate all the proceeds from the sales of the scarf," the designer told us. "It feels great to give back to something that we took inspiration from in the first place. At least 30,000 children under the age of four died in three months alone, and many more are expected to die because the drought is predicted to continue for a couple more months. This is absolutely preventable.""We put the project together last minute, and really I was asking friends to help, friends that are in town," said Thakoon. "Ruby was so into the idea, and that really makes it feel really genuine, positive. She's a cool girl and has a great heart（她很伟大）!"CommentsIn order to investigate the showbiz I opt to divide it into three parts which I take most interest in.To start with,the 90s stars inevitably take the first part.The majority of 90s stars witness me growing to maturity,so do I.And I also see them turning various orientation to live their lives.Thereinto,some kid stars are becoming slovenly like Justin Bieber, Lindsay lohan and Miley Cyrus.Bieber had previously beenspotted wearing a bizarre gas mask on a night out in London, where he turned up late for one concert and collapsed on stage with shortness of breath during another. Lindsay is a frequent caller in jail and Miley performs how “good girls(boys) gone bad”shedding her former sweet and innocent images into wild one.I am wondering the reasons ,for ambition to become unique icon like lady gaga so that we can remember them?Or they are just trying to yell at everyone to emphasize that they are no longer kids?Whether or not,they‟d better learn from Jennifer Lawrence or Annie Hathway,we love them for their elegance in daily life(well,not include their characters because we are capable of accepting they go a little bit far occasionally),which like red wine----not fierce but its mellow taste will last forever. By the way,I think only with the right awareness of celebrity and wealth as well as unalterable mind can they rebound to …normal‟ lives. Apart from above,then comes the style and fashion.It took me a long time to search for an article which combines both traditional and fashionissues.Fortunately, I found this essay which is more close to an exquisite prose than news.And the reason why I selected it are as follows: Showbiz composes of stars,stars must keep path with fashion,fashion is influntential and has a big fan ,that is me.However,I am obsessed with Chinese traditional culture,as well.And Qipao symbolizes chinese style. So that‟s the whole logical chain . Nowadays,we are glad to see chinese stars are shining at red carpets in fashion week and film festival like Cannes.Moreover,the big brands including Zara and Dior are producing clothes with chinese elements like blue-and-white porcelain so that consumers help advertise chinese culture. I am not amazed that showbiz ,stars,fashion,culture are family members,I just hope that one day chinese traditional style will go viral on the showbiz and in that way I have access to chase after both international and traditional fashion happily.As influence of stars are growing,so does the voice that appeal to stars to do something fo society.I chose the third and forth news just because theheroes are my favourite designer and singers,not for the press itself.Of course,I am fond of this topic.There goes a saying that If God created shadows it was better to emphasize the light.Disease,poverty,unfairness,ect,the world sees these sufferings on show every second cruelly and the saviour are the human ourselves that can help each other out of trouble. Many thanks for stars to do charity even though I think they have duty do so. That‟s all,In a word,I will keep on paying close attention to the showbiz to see what‟ going on.。
