The falling star

Billy Ray Cyrus has an achy breaky heart again.  He's talking to GQ magazine this month about the break up within his family and the behaviour of his daughter Miley.  He blames the Hannah Montana franchise for the problems in his family.  His marriage has ended and Miley has started acting out a bit in public and is slowly on the Britney Spears train of destruction.

The fall of the teen star is nothing new to this generation.  When I was a kid it was the Brat Pack and the 2 Corey's - Feldman and Haim who shot to success only to fall just as fast when the partying the started.  For some they can never get past it.  Corey Haim died just last year from an overdose and Charlie Sheen....well we know what he's going through.  So why is Billy Ray surprised by all of this?  Instead of trying to help his daughter and protect her from business people who could be leading her astray he's spilling all their family laundry to a magazine.  That's definately not going to help put his family back together. 

Some have said that Justin Bieber has a timer on his back to when his destructive behavior begins.  So who is to blame?  The parents for letting their kids get caught up in this world and not controlling it more or US for buying into it all?
