Said a spokeswoman at the time: "A situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." But check out the Disney billboard pictured on the left, snapped by Slate's Daniel Brook in Beijing, China. The model, who looks barely pubescent, is being used to sell a matching bra-and-panties set. Brook said the billboard made "the controversial 1990s Calvin Klein underwear ads look artistic by comparison." And it's not the work of Chinese intellectual property pirates; it comes from a legitimate Disney licensee pledged to clear all ads with Disney corporate. What does Disney say? Controlling child exploitation is hard! Also, Chinese people have certain tastes It has caught us totally by surprise," [a Disney spokesman] told me by phone from Guangzhou... "We have literally hundreds of licensees making our products. They are supposed to submit any kind of imagery to us before it is used, but it's hard to enforce that sometimes," he said I don't want to make excuses for them at all because it is not anything that we would ever approve, but in other parts of the world this is not unusual at all... In fact, in Europe, they have similar type of taste, if you will. Here in China that's not unusual at all, but it's not usual for the Disney brand Disney's hypocrisy has been on display since the start of the Cyrus scandal. The company isn't against the manipulation of a 15-year-old for profit when the profit in question is its own, derived from. MADAME SARKOZY. selling a wholesome image of Cyrus to young girls through the Hannah Montana franchise. That's why Disney was so eager to tamp down Cyrus' natural and fairly tame (if unusually public) experimentation with her own sexuality, a process well under way — and heavily photographed — on the internet before Vanity Fair's Annie Leibovitz turned her lens on the star But this billboard is the clearest, simplest symbol yet of how Disney's beef with Vanity Fair is about business, not morality. If this sort of thing were a moral question for the company, it would police so-called manipulation of all its child icons with equal vigor, whether the kid in question was selling 10-figure TV 425 344 packages or cheap underwear sets. That clearly is not the case It has been a long old week for the Teen Choice Awards Male Hottie of the Year, 2007. In London, with his glamorous girlfriend, for the premiere of their new movie, Zac Efron had an eventful time. First, advance ticket sales for 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year' broke all records, then its star was struck down with a stomach bug and struggled with his innards all the way down the red carpet. Thousands of screaming fans turned up in Leicester Square to clamour for a glimpse. The next day, a middle-aged Fabio Capello lookalike shouted abuse at Efron and tried to grab him. Efron was paid 1.75m for the movie, the last in a trilogy that has achieved worldwide success; he is dating his foxy co-star, Vanessa Hudgens; girls all over the world are in love with him And yet people say he's boring. "Zac is incredibly bland," one cruel acquaintance told a newspaper last week. "Any personality, spontaneity or charisma has been sapped away For those out of touch moviegoers who have missed the 'High School Musical' legend and assume that Zac Efron must be Nora's youngest, this will all come as a surprise. But to fans of American musical films and all girls under 15, this has been. MADAME SARKOZY. thrilling week. Just imagine that David Cassidy turned up in London, with Marie Osmond on his arm and the Bay City Rollers trailing behind, and you have some idea of the teen-idol value of this small posse. Hearts are throbbing faster than they have done since Donny donned a pair of tight, white, polyester trousers and sang 'Puppy Love' to a stadium full of girls in slacks The plot of HSM is devilish tricky to summarise. Its author describes it as a reworking of 'Romeo and Juliet' - but nobody dies. Fans say it reminds them of 'Grease'. It tells the rollercoaster tale of star-crossed lovers Troy Bolton (Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Hudgens): he is the captain of the basketball team; she is a maths genius with a talent for singing. Will they overcome the approbation of the school and the scheming temptress Sharpay Evans to consummate their luurve before the school's winter musical? Will the maths club and the basketball team ever forgive them MADAME SARKOZY 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 (less)
