Julia Stiles Attacks "Lolita Phenomenon"

Posted by on March 13, 2006 3:33 AM |

Julia Stiles photo Julia Stiles has hit out at young female celebs who rely on their sexuality to become famous.

“The Bourne Identity” and “Save The Last Dance” actress says today's stars pretend to be sexy airheads to get ahead, rather than using their brains or talent, in what she calls the "Lolita phenomenon".

"I grew up with Madonna and other female icons who were sexual, but they owned it, they were in control and they had the brains to back it up,” she explains.

"Today, pop culture is full of images of young women who are very sexual and provocative, but they're not the ones in control of their image - they're just put out there by their handlers for public consumption.

"They're not really expressing anything; they're using their ability to turn men on as a way of selling albums or movie tickets.

"It's not even so much a feminist issue for me; It's more of an artistic issue - it's an empty product."
