These scantily clad prostitots seem to be infiltrating the streets more than ever. Blame Miley Cyrus. Now that she’s proclaiming that she “can’t be tamed,” the 17-year-old is giving a big “F-YOU” to Disney by wearing the most revealing clothes possible, grinding against poles, giving lap dances to gay men, and engaging in lesbian-type behaviour.

Of course, Cyrus is quick to reply to all the negative press against her, by telling the media she’s “not trying to be slutty,” but rather she feels comfortable wearing a “little less” because she works really hard to be fit. She claimed that she was just “rocking out” with her backup dancer, and that her new wardrobe is meant to match her new record.

As for the lap dance, Cyrus’ father, Billy ray, simply said, “It’s what people her age do.”

If the parent of one of the biggest pop stars since Britney thinks this behaviour is okay, what kind of example are they setting for other parents?

Clearly, not a good one, considering that young girls everywhere are mimicking Miley’s every move. Not only are skirts getting shorter and shirts getting lower, but the behaviourisms of these young girls are getting worse too. Girls are engaging in sexual activities at a very young age, and teen pregnancies are more prevalent than ever (just watch MTV’s Sixteen and Pregnant for proof).

Miley’s not the only influence though. Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen is also running around in ripped stockings, garter belts, and raccoon-eyed makeup. To add to her “bad-ass” look, a cigarette is often seen hanging from the 16-year-old’s mouth. Momsen was also recently photographed in such a short bandage dress that her tampon string was visible.

Considering that these child stars were forced to grow up quickly, its no surprise that they’re in touch with their own sexuality at a young age. Let’s be serious, with all those hormones raging through your body, you were most likely thinking about sex when you were 17 too.

Like Dolly Parton said, “I remember when I was horny and young.”

But then again, Twilight’s Taylor Lautner was 17 when he showed off his shirtless self in all its glory in New Moon. Why was there no “media controversy” there? Somehow, the media has made it okay for boys to show off their bodies, but are quick to deem girls “sluts” when they show off theirs.

Ironically, boys aren’t showing off their bodies, even though it’s socially acceptable to do so. How many young male celebrities can you name who are flaunting their rock-hard bodies to the media? Perhaps celebrities like Miley and Taylor are simply rebelling against the media’s standards and trying to equalize themselves with men.

Unfortunately, prostitots are too young to really understand their feminist rebellion, and are probably just dressing, or rather, undressing, for attention.

ONE launched “Coming Together as ONE” today — a new PSA campaign designed to mobilize young people to get involved in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease. The public service announcements, which debut online and on TV this week, feature young stars from some of the hottest entertainment properties.

“In the last [US] election, and over the course of history, young people have shown that when we get organized and committed, we are powerful. The fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease in poor countries needs our support, our energy and our commitment,” said actress and ONE member Ashley Greene.

The spots were created by filmmaker Jesse Dylan who is known for a variety of films, music videos and the Emmy Award-winning “Yes We Can” Barack Obama campaign video collaboration with will.i.am. The PSAs feature actors and actresses Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl; Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone from Twilight; Hayden Panettiere from Heroes; Corbin Bleu from High School Musical; Tristan Wilds from 90210; John Cho from StarTrek and Brandon T. Jackson from Tropic Thunder. The :60 PSA is available online to watch and share at www.one.org/buzz.

“Some people might say young people don’t care about the world beyond our classroom, our family, our friends – but I don’t believe that’s true. In an increasingly global world, we have to look beyond ourselves. By raising our voices together, we can and will make a difference in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease,” said Bleu.

“Coming Together as ONE” is a campaign to recruit more young people into the growing global movement to fight extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. ONE is asking youth to make their voices heard in the fight against extreme poverty, just as they did in the last US presidential election, and as they have over the course of history. As the PSA makes clear, young people have been at the heart of all major social justice campaigns, whether for civil rights, women’s rights or the fight against apartheid.

“Today’s young people have already shown us they are powerful change-makers. They’ve done it in the recent presidential election and many are looking for the next social movement,” said David Lane, President and CEO of ONE. “Coming Together as ONE aims to harness that power and build a buzz among Millennials. We know this generation can help defeat extreme poverty, put more kids in school and protect families from preventable disease such as AIDS, TB and malaria.”

“I think young people understand the issues facing our global community. Their ideas and actions can bring about change. I wanted to deliver the message in a way that was current, reflected their voice, and conveyed urgency,” said Jesse Dylan, director, FreeForm.

Only two more months until I am reunited with my best friends: Blair, Serena, Nate, Chuck, Dan and Vanessa. Until then, I am left to my own speculations and guesses as to what will happen when the Upper East Siders embark on their first year of college. Shameful hook ups, chaotic house parties and nasty dorm roommates are just some of the situations I hope to see this September when Gossip Girl returns.

Gossip Girl spoilers:

• 

  Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) and Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) on the set of "Gossip Girl" filming season three, on the streets of Manhattan on June 29, 2009 in New York City.

  Word on the street is we will be seeing Georgina and Blair in the same dorm – two manipulative brats in one room can only be a bad thing. But, I am confident Blair will find a solution to the infestation. Doesn’t she always? Well, not without everything going wrong first.

• Serena and Dan were seen smooching during filming in New York City. But, this could just be the actors off-screen kissing because they are in fact a couple.

• Serena and Dan’s half-brother will become a character in the new season. No idea yet how soon they will discover his true identity.

• There are two new ladies on set: Hilary Duff and Joanna Garcia (Privileged). They will both be playing new love interests for Dan and Nate. Hilary will play Olivia, a movie star who is seeking a traditional college experience. Joanna will be playing Bree Buckley a cheeky and possibly evil Miss America-type who hails from a conservative Southern family.

• The actor who will play Serena and Eric’s father has yet to be cast or his identity has been kept a secret… if they are successful in finding him…

• Jenny is now the Queen of the Upper East Side. How she will affect the new class of unpleasant teenagers?  She could return to her fashion designing roots or become a Marissa Cooper-type druggy that gets into all sorts of ugly situations. I vote for situation number two.

Keep up to date on your GG dish here at AdornedMagazine.com as we get closer to the third season.  For now we will catch a glimpse of the crew shooting on the streets of New York City and attempt to dissect the story line from onlooker’s photographs.

XOXO!!!

The Hills (starring Lauren Conrad), Grey’s Anatomy and The Game may be over, but this summer’s 2009 TV season is just getting started. Adorned is giving you the lowdown on some of the hottest shows that are sure to be on your DVR schedule.

Here are some of this season’s new and returning shows — one for every day!

True Blood

True Blood stars Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin with executive producer Alan Ball at the premiere of True Blood 2nd Season in Los Angeles, California.

Airs: Sunday, June 14th @ 9PM ET/PT (HBO)

If you’re a true fan of the Twilight Saga, then you’ll surely fall in love with this show. It is somewhat of the same plot line. Sookie Stackhouse, a local waitress, truly understands what it’s like to be an outsider. I guess you can say she was cursed with the ability to listen to people’s thoughts and is very open-minded about the integration of vampires in her small town. She becomes intrigued with a gorgeous 173 year-old named Bill, who lives up the road from her. Throughout the first season Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill’s arrival in her town Bon Temps. Now Sookie’s “open-mindedness” towards vampires will be put to the test in season two of the series.

The Bachelorette

The Bachelorette Jillian Harris at the premiere of "The Proposal" in Hollywood, California.

Airs: Monday, May 18th @ 8PM ET/PT (ABC)

Jillian Harris, a proud Canadian girl, fell short of her goal last season when she was sent packing on The Bachelor because Jason Mesnick failed to understand Jillian’s “best friend” theory. This season Jillian has her own opportunity to find true love. The premiere began with 25 eligible men arriving from all over the country to try and win Jillian’s heart, including an Olympic cyclist, a break dance instructor, a pizza entrepreneur and a wine maker. Each is more handsome than the next with some truly outstanding personalities.

NYC Prep

Airs: Tuesday, June 23rd @ 9PM ET/PT (BRAVO)

Can you imagine if our favourite bad boys and girls of Gossip Girl were real? Well, there’s no need to imagine anymore. Bravo has a created a reality show that follows the lives of six individuals in Manhattan’s elite Upper East Side. NYC Prep is the reality series version of Gossip Girl, and like the series, it involves exclusive midnight parties, shopping sprees and gaudy relationships. Already, the blogosphere had been abuzz with anticipation for NYC Prep. Critics said they’d be careful in writing about the show’s characters, however, as they are presumably real people, not like the fictional Blair, Chuck, Nate, Serena, Dan, and Jenny.

I Survived a Japanese Game Show

Airs: Wednesday, June 17th @ 9PM ET/PT (ABC)

I Survived a Japanese Game Show is an American reality show that follows ten people who leave America for Tokyo, Japan, to take part in a reality-style competition, but not informed of the nature of the show. They are flown to Japan and immediately sat down to talk with producers, where it is revealed that they will be on a game show. They are broken up into teams and in the first six episodes compete in games against each other. The winning team is given a reward activity while the losing team is given a punishment activity. This is a show you cannot miss, because every Wednesday they have you laughing and screaming for more. Plus, the winner takes home $250,000.

The Listener

Star of The Listener, Craig Olejnik in Cannes, France.

While on the job as a paramedic, Toby tries to help persons in crisis and along the way he treats his own wounds. With the help of Detective Marks and his ex-girlfriend Olivia, an E.R doctor, Toby realizes that his gift can help others.

The Goode Family

Airs: Friday, June 19th @ 8:30PM ET/PT (ABC)

This show is about Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD (“What Would Al Gore Do?”). Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to stay “green”. They’re passionate vegans, they drive a hybrid, and they recycle everything possible. Even the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do is buy organic apples. But despite their best efforts, something always goes haywire.

Desperate Housewives

Airs: Saturday April 24th @ 5PM ET/PT (MYTV BUFFALO)

Desperate Housewives takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of these six housewives aren’t always what they seem. The series began with Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) leaving her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs and ending it all. Now she takes us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors. Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane includes Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), who has finally married the love of her life but is now faced with the challenges of a blended family; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), who struggles with work, health and family issues; Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) — Martha Stewart on steroids — who tries to keep her image of perfection even as everything crumbles around her; and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria), the newly married ex-model who seems to have everything she has ever wanted – a rich, powerful husband, a big house — everything that is, but a husband she truly loves.

So You Think You Can Dance?

SYTYCD Host Cat Deely with past dance contestants in Los Angeles, California.

Airs: Tuesday’s on CTV @ 8:00PM ET/PT & Wednesday’s @ 7:30PM ET/PT

So You Think You Can Dance is an American dance reality show and competition. The series is similar to American Idol, with nationwide auditions leading to the discovery of the next big dance star. Idol’s Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe created the show. The contestants range from street dancers to winners of national championships. All the dancers are assigned different dance styles and partners each week to test their versatility.

This season is sure to bring laughs and tears, and a hot line up! So make sure your DVRs are set and ready to record. My fave this TV season is So You Think You Can Dance. What is yours?

Having trouble finding that perfect summer staple for your wardrobe?

You might want to consider picking up this season’s must-have: the romper.

The trend emerged last summer and made its way onto Derek Lam, Betsey Johnson, and Alexander Wang’s runways this season. Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively is a fan, recently sporting a teal-blue ADAM romper at the CW Network Party.

The romper first appeared in 1910 as playwear for younger children, particularly boys. It is believed to have originated from the bloomer, and is known as the first “true” play suit. The romper was revolutionary in that it was the first piece of clothing that wasn’t restrictive to children and allowed for several hours of unlimited play. In the 1950s, dressier rompers were developed so that they could be worn at more formal occasions.

Now, fashionable stars like Mary-Kate Olsen, Taylor Momsen and Lauren Conrad are wearing the romper. Unlike its more casual cousin, the overall, rompers create a more sophisticated, chic, and perfectly pulled together look. They’re extremely versatile, easy to wear and comfortable, not to mention flattering for every body type.

The romper is available in all sorts of fabrics and prints, and can be worn to the office, on the street, or out to dinner.

Pair your romper with gladiator sandals and a skinny belt to cinch the waist for the daytime or dress it up with high heels and some statement jewelry. Rompers also make a perfect cover-up for the beach. Just add a headscarf and flip-flops and you’ll be ready to go.

Happy shopping!
