Oh Lourdes, It's a “Celebration”

Madonna’s got something to celebrate. Not only is she dating someone named Jesus—I won’t go there—but she is now going to expose her 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, to the masses in the video for her new single “Celebration.” Let’s see how much I don’t think this is a good idea.

First off, Lourdes is far too young to be acting so grown up. Not only is she adapting Mad’s sense of style, but also pretty soon she’ll be dating 23-year-olds, just like Mom—okay I went there. Be careful or Lourdes will turn out with the mentality of Britney Spear’s, the plastic surgery habits of Tara Reid, and the party habits of, well, Tara Reid.

Secondly, don’t you think a good parent would let Lourdes find her own path to fame? Lourdes wants to be just like Madonna, I’m sure, but I just don’t think she’s fully realizing her options. Superstardom, though the dream of most little girls, doesn’t seem to have had good effects on the child stars of the past.

Perhaps it’s only an innocent gesture that Madonna wants to get more media for her biological kids than those from countries abroad. In that case, keep a close eye Madonna, and don’t let Lourdes turn Lohan.

The video for “Celebration,” will be released this week. Madonna: Celebration - The Definitive Greatest Hits Collection arrives September 29th.
