We cant help but be a little concerned for 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana. Sure, shes all smiles and sequins and skinny limbs now, but what happens when the seven-year-old fans graduate to pop punk instead of bubble gum rock? When Cyrus herself gets too old or bored to play a high school student on a Disney show? When the inevitable rebellion starts to kick in?
Heres a list of eight other celebs who got their start in the Disney and Nickelodeon star-making machines. Some are the most successful stars in the world, and some are the most screwed up.

Fergie
By Deborah Netburn, Times Staff writer
Fergie Stacy Ferguson joined the cast of Kids Incorporated in 1984 when she was 9 and stuck around for six seasons. Fast-forward twenty years later and she has a successful solo career, a gig promoting Candies, and a spot in the inexplicably successful band Black Eyed Peas. But there was a meth addiction in the intervening years that she blamed on her time as a child actor. Bottom line: Shes rich now, but shes earned it. |
