Not Now Who You Know But Who Your Parents Are

Following on the family profession is being taken to all new heights. Many fathers want their son's to take over the family company of plumbing, shop keeping, hotelier and so on but lately children have been following their famous parents in to the entertainment world at a much younger age.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have two children together, Jaden Christopher Syre (12) and Willow Camille Reign (9). Both children have entered the entertainment industry, Jaden worked in his first movie with his father, The Pursuit of Happyness at the age of 8 whilst his sister is a year ahead and worked on her first film with her father at the age of 7 in, I am Legend. She has now signed to Jay-Z's record label with her first song, "Whip My Hair." I don't think that Roc Nation would sign someone so young if their parent was not Will Smith. I believe that the children may have talent in their chosen field of work but I don't believe they would be offered this deal if their parent wasn't so famous.

Next up: Georgia May Jagger, daughter to legendary rock artist, Mick Jagger. Working as a model, I first remember her appearing on the front of British Vogue in November 2009. She looks fabulous and has the body of a model but when she opens her mouth to reveal her teeth, (as she so often does in many of her photos) they are not screaming out, "model!" No other wannabe model would be able to sign a contract before she straightened out her teeth, or if she did would not get the highly priced jobs. After snapping up the contract for Rimmel spring/summer 2010 she is the new up and coming model, the one to look out for but surely this was true from her very first picture? Her father being Mick Jagger hasn't helped at all? Or has it? Famous parents are helping their children in to the family business. I hope that Brangelina manage to do their six children justice when handing out the family roles to overtake in the entertainment industry. Surely a few models and actors, maybe even a singer or two. After being in the limelight from such a young age I assume it is second nature to be stood in front a camera, getting paid for it is just the icing on the cake.
