Actually Ed, I saw something the other day and thought of you.
Hang on, I'll see if I can find it...

This used to be a favorite 'Friday song' for you, right?

Yep - a much hated song for the time...

If that article is true I'm a bit surprised that they've removed her from school for that? I'd assume there must be something else going on.... but maybe not in this case.

But then again, the parents did pay a company to "make her a pop star" we assume on her whims, so maybe they're a little lacking in perspective?

I'm also surprised her PR company went for that angle to get the news of an EP release in the paper...

[Baby_Sham]

I know, I was a bit "What The Funicular?" as well.

I would like to point out that I am very much anti-bullying, but I did do a little 'laugh out loud' when I read students kept asking her what day it was.

As for the parents, yes, it's almost like "you made her bed, now she's gotta lay in it".
Surely that article would just make the situation ten times worse!

[AB Editor]

Well, exactly. But that's not what they're worried about. They're more concerned about their daughter achieving the pop-star status she somehow feels entitled to (or they feel she is entitled to).

Hopefully the whole experience won't mess her up forever in the weird way young stars who don't make it do. Hopefully she'll have a normal set of expectations and then start a punk band when she gets to uni.

I'm sure they'll keep us updated!

[Baby_Sham]

Ha! Rebecca Black in a punk band? Yep, they will be credible :P
