New starlets: It's hip to be square

THERE is a revolution bubbling in Hollywood and it has Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in its sights. Good Hollywood girls are in and the not so well-behaved are on the outer. As Hilton gets out of jail, Lohan kicks back for another stint in rehab, Spears wears wigs to hide her bald head and Nicole Richie fights to stay out of prison, Hollywood studios are grooming a fresh-faced crop of starlets.

The good girls, led by squeaky clean 16-year-old Emma Roberts and 21-year-old Amanda Bynes, have not been arrested for drink-driving and they avoided the trend of wearing mini-skirts without underpants. They also are outspoken about avoiding the temptations that trap and then destroy other members of young Hollywood. I'm clean and I don't do any drugs or alcohol, Bynes, who stars alongside John Travolta, Christopher Walken and Michelle Pfeiffer in the new Hollywood remake of the Broadway musical , said in Los Angeles recently.

I don't need it. Over the next few months the world will see Roberts, Bynes and other respectable and marketable young actresses, including Brittany Snow, AnnaSophia Robb and Abigail Breslin, headline major motion pictures. The actresses will likely become role models for a generation of tweens who once looked up to Hilton, Lohan, Spears and Richie.

Roberts, with acting talent and a fine pedigree (she is the niece of Hollywood's biggest female name, Julia Roberts), is the star of Warner Bros' rebirth of the Nancy Drew detective film franchise. She plays Drew, the vivacious, albeit nerdy, teen private eye. I don't like feral parties, says Roberts, who has followed the well-worn path of Bynes and Hilary Duff by starring in her own Nickelodeon TV series, THERE is a revolution bubbling in Hollywood and it has Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in its sights.
