There's an abundance of poor role models present in today's popular culture.
Jamie Lynn Spears, Brittney's 16 year old sister * star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" has been reported to be pregnant.
Lindsey Lohan has had quite the run-in with rehab in the past few months.
Do you let your daughters still watch their shows after all of the negative attention in the media?
I understand that it's people's own business as to whether they have sex, have a baby, or consume recreational drugs, but when you're a public icon for millions of young girls in the world, then it becomes the paparazzi's business

I don't have daughters, but I look at it like the Michael Vick thing. We still watch football. There was the Chris Benoit incident, but we still watch wrestling.
I hope I teach my children that celebrities, athletes, musicians, etc. they are just humans. They are the same as you and I, just the occupation and money. I don't expect those types of people to be role models for my children, I hope they can find stronger ones than those on TV. I hope we can sit down and discuss those issues together as a family.

This issue won't be coming up with us for awhile, but my thoughts on it are similiar to Luna's. Why ban the shows? Wouldn't it be more productive and beneficial to discuss what happened and why you don't approve and hope your daughter won't follow suite? They spend more time with their parents then watching these shows--at least, I'd hope so--and you will be the main role model in their life for some time. So talk to them about it. Making a subject taboo and not allowing discussion always hurts more then it helps.
Also, as already said, we're all human. I'm sure if any of us were put under a microscope and analyzed, we'd come up short and looking pretty bad ourselves.
Anywho, just my two cents on it.

Some people ban shows/books/etc. for numerous reasons. (For example, I know someone who won't let their children see The Golden Compass because of Philip Pullman's anti-dogma views he put into his movie, without seeing it first herself or seeing it with them so she can explain what is wrong with the picture in her opinion)
I think that it's great that LiLo has at least attempted rehab (whether court ordered or not) and that Jamie Lynn wants to raise her baby in her home state.

Hmm, as far as their TV shors and/or movies, first it would depend on genre and rating, however if it were classified as a family or teen/kids' show then I probably wouldn't have to worry about the show itself that simply included the actors/actresses.
However the news, magazines, tabloids, etc are a different story. They're gonna give the gory details I wouldn't necessarily want my children to hear. And depending on society's ever changing morals from day to day, I'd rather have control over informing my children as to our family's beliefs as to what is right or wrong,r ather than society passing judgement on morals as to "what's in this season to be cool."
