Britney Spears Becomes Disney Role Model After Demi Lovato Scandal

This has been what one may call a rough run for Disney: Miley Cyrus allowed herself to be videotaped while smoking a bong and the vid leaked, while new personal pics of Demi Lovato have also ended up online. Disney is now turning to Britney Spears for help.

Apparently, in a bid to prove that it's still suitable for teens, Disney is turning to two of its golden stars for a little help in the role model department, it has emerged.

The British tab the Daily Mail reports that, in the wake of the Lovato and Cyrus scandals, Disney is asking Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake to play role models once more.

The two have been approached and asked to be part in a campaign highlighting the pitfalls of fame when it comes at such an early age, the Mail claims to have learned from a studio insider.

However, the two will not be doing PSAs or anything of the kind; they will, instead, counsel young performers bound to the studio, in a bid to prevent them from going down the same path as Lovato and Cyrus.

The fact that Britney too had problems adjusting to fame at such an early age will probably help give her words more credibility when speaking to up and coming Disney teen stars.

“Executives approached her in a bid to avoid another meltdown such as that suffered by 18-year-old singer and actress Demi Lovato earlier this month,” says the Mail.

“Britney’s fellow former Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake has also been asked to counsel young performers,” the tab writes.

“Justin and Britney have been asked if they would like to come in and speak to their younger counterparts about the tribulations of being famous so young,” a Disney inside source confirms for the aforementioned publication.

Admittedly, Disney believes this will help teen stars better understand everything happening in their life, and prevent them from straying.

“The Disney bosses think that if they have people to look up to they might stay on the straight and narrow,” says the same insider.
