When child stars act up

From Justin Bieber to Lindsay Lohan, what is it about child stardom that seems to result in controversy?

JUSTIN Bieber was discovered at the age of 14 when an American talent agent stumbled across videos of him singing on YouTube. While his peers were navigating the pitfalls of adolescence, Bieber became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. His rapid ascent to fame has not been seamless, with the tabloids screaming about alleged drug taking.

Bieber’s recent arrest for driving under the influence seemed inevitable.
