    Just came across this and for many reasons I think it is disgusting

    A star is unborn: Baby signed up by talent spotters while still in the womb



    We've seen how difficult it can be for many former child actors to have a normal life, in many cases it is messed up with drugs etc before they reach their mid teens.

    “He was pretty much cast for Mrs Biggs before he was born. Everyone loved him on set and he was really well behaved.”

    Jess Bell of Scream Management, said: “Both Elvis and Alana are very talented.”



    Very talented? This shows how delusional the people working in the agency are.

    So would you get your child working before they are even born? I wouldn't and consider this a form a child abuse.

    They named the child Elvis.
    That's also child abuse.

    What can an 11 month old child be talented at? :confused:

    another one bites the dust..
    Actress Amanda Bynes could be facing jail after she was charged in connection with two alleged hit-and-run accidents.

    The star, who shot to fame on the Nickelodeon show All That and has also appeared in films such as What A Girl Wants and Hairspray, could be given a one year sentence - six months for each count - or fined.

    is there any child star who hasn't gone off the rails at one point or another though?

    Probably not, the fame and the money and lack of real parenting seems to (understandably) send them off the rails.


    What I really can't understand is why any parent would actively pursue this for their child, especially when the child has no talent (because they are too young) and especially before they are born.


    Money grabbing parents who see children as cash cows. The agents should be ashamed of themselves.

    But he was signed after parents Andy, 34, and Shelley, 35, sent a pregnancy scan to Scream Management Agency.
    :eek:

    I used to host a chat show while I was still in the womb.

    It was called "Cervix As Usual"

    Joseph Gordon Levitt is the only person I can think of right now but I'm sure there are a few more.
    Two hit and runs? Did she think she was playing GTA? One is an accident. Two takes effort.

    Elijah Wood has done well for himself too and didn't go off the rails.
