Madonna Generation 2

Despite all the honking Madonna did a couple of years back about how she protects her children from publicity's glare, Lourdes is apparently being lined up for a bit in the next Harry Potter .

Equally surprising is the quote from a "source" run by new uberfuhrer of Suntertainment Victoria Newton:

“After all her recent public appearances, looking more like a sophisticated teen than a child, the attention on her is really growing."

Is it just us, or is there something a little disturbing in talking about eleven year old kids in this way? Especially from a paper that makes such a fuss about other forms of child exploitation.

Anyway, we're delighted to hear that Lourdes is picking up some acting jobs, and are certain that it's based entirely on what she can do rather than who she is.
