If their role models start playing on their sexuality, they will want to follow. It's not rocket science and I don't think recognising the fact makes you a jumped up little madam.
I have to disagree, the music she makes, or the way she acts is not perposely aimed at that age group - or it wasn't originally, the young ones take it upon themselves to watch it, then the businessmen realise the market and move in with mercendice.

People should be able to act how they want, it's the press which spreads the word.
