Give me a child until [s]he is seven and I will give you ...

Lindsay Lohan & Mischa Barton

Our celebrities these days are Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Mischa Barton and lots of young women with breast implants. Take a look at the phenomenally popular videos at TMZ.com.

Most of our celebrities seem to be under 21 and in jail or rehab. Here's a picture of two of them, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, when they were seven. In the famous 7 UP British series and documentary, the director Michael Apted started with a Jesuit saying, “Show me the child at seven, and I'll show you the man.”

There have long been problems with child stars growing up to be addled addicts (think Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor), but in these Girls Gone Wild days of bitches and hos, it seems to be more of a problem than ever before, from Abu Ghraib Girls Gone Wild, to Hollywood Girls Gone Wild, to Hollywood Boys Gone Wild and Gangstas Gone Wild.

The producer / director / owner of Girls Gone Wild is in jail and facing other charges of rape. GIGO: garbage in garbage out. There is something wrong when we turn two sweet little girls into celebs best known for their inability to control their addictions.
