Hollywood swaps bad girl look for new wave innocence

AAP | Updated: 2007-06-23 09:46

There is a revolution bubbling in Hollywood and it has Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in its sights.

Good Hollywood girls are in and the not so well-behaved are on the outer.

Hollywood swaps bad girl look for new wave innocence

Hollywood seems to be turning off its famous badgirls like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and focusing on more wholesome starlets such as Emma Roberts.[Reuters]

As Hilton sits in jail, Lohan kicks back for another stint in rehab, Spears wears wigs to hide her bald head and Nicole Richie fights to stay out of prison, Hollywood studios are grooming a fresh-faced crop of starlets.

The good girls, led by squeaky clean 16-year-old Emma Roberts and 21-year-old Amanda Bynes, have not been arrested for drink driving and they avoided the trend of wearing mini-skirts without underpants.

They also are outspoken about avoiding the temptations that trap and then destroy other members of young Hollywood.

"I'm clean and I don't do any drugs or alcohol," Bynes, who stars alongside John Travolta, Christopher Walken and Michelle Pfeiffer in the new Hollywood remake of the Broadway musical, Hairspray, she said in Los Angeles recently.

"I feel like it's a choice I make.

"I don't need it."

Over the next few months the world will see Roberts, Bynes and other respectable and marketable young actresses, including Brittany Snow, Anna Sophia Robb and Abigail Breslin, headline major motion pictures.

The actresses will likely become role models for a generation of tweens who once looked up to Hilton, Lohan, Spears and Richie.

Roberts, with acting talent and a fine pedigree (she is the niece of Hollywood's biggest female name, Julia Roberts), is the star of Warner Bros' rebirth of the Nancy Drew detective film franchise.

She plays Drew, the vivacious, albeit nerdy, teen private eye.

"We're both alike," Roberts said.

"We're both determined, ambitious and curious, but she's much more of a neat freak than me."

Roberts may even be better behaved than Drew.
