Don't mess with the material mom. I think we all know the consequences of that. But what about when you're her daughter? Lourdes is probably just as headstrong as her mommy and may even like to follow in her mother's big footsteps someday. Says Madonna, though, Lourdes is forbidden from acting.
Nevertheless, the acting bug has allegedly bitten little Lola. Many celebrity kids either attempt or succeed at following in their famous parents' footsteps, especially when it comes to acting. And many of those celebrity parents have said they don't want their kids acting or being in the profession at all. The stress, the drama, the lies of the media and the unbelievable pressure to be perfect are too much, they feel, for their kids to go through (yet they continue to do it).
Madonna is no exception. She is a mom, after all, and she wants to protect her family. According to a "source" Madge has banned her daughter, 11, from being in a new movie and has nixed Lola being involved in the craft until she finishes high school. I wonder how she feels about Lourdes going to college--Madonna dropped out, and it didn't seem to bother her career aspirations in the slightest!
1. I wonder what other career choices she has been banned from as well? Politician? Pole Dancer? Call Girl? Madam? I see Lourdes as a manager of a grocery store in a small midwestern town that also does a little side work preparing taxes between December and April. Maybe something blue collar? Inspector at a plastics factory or a machine operator? School bus driver? Sure was a good thing Madonna's dad didn't forbid her from getting into show business, how else would Dennis Rodman have got herpes?
