Things we wonder... :-
Does Willow Smith still believe in Santa?
Does she still believe in the tooth fairy?
Why is her hair yellow?
It seems that the superstar 10 year old- Yes we just used superstar and 10 year old in the same sentence- has a new hairstyle! How exciting!

But I like many others have concerns for Willow. We could go on naming countless child celebs gone rogue Lindsay Lonhan, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, All the Disney lot but we won't.
But right now we just have one concern- her hair.
We admit that at the age of 10, we were happily running about with two ponytails high on our heads without a care in the world... not like we still do that...psht. Although clearly inspired by Goldilocks, we fear that the extensions and neon highlights will have serious repurcussions on Willow in the future.
When we were 10 we spent a few minutes on paint scribbling our hearts out then admiring out masterpieces. Willow has a Twitter.
We guarantee that in an updated dictionary, Willow will literally define cool. As I will literally define social retard.
So maybe we envy her a little, perfoming at sell out arenas with Justin Bieber is something we would love to do if we could sing a note in tune but perhaps not at the tender age of 10. We can't help but question whether Will and Jade wanted for their kids to be carbon copies of themselves. To be honest, naming your children after yourself if quite simply-in my eyes- arrogance. Although arguably, if they are living happy lives, rich, successful, famous- then why would they not want the same for their kids? They might in fact think hey, we're pretty amazing parents actually.
She might be living the high life but please explain what she will be doing in say 10 years time?
We hear from our friends- superduper famous artists- that the industry can become quite repetitive. (Well not quite friends...yet.)
Record song- promote song- tour-Maybe release a book of pictures- Record song-promote song- tour.
The pressures of constantly living under a spotlight will have it's consequences as will negative press. Surely with A list parents Willow and Jaden will be fine and fully prepared to deal with this. But realistically, will anyone ever be fully prepared for the overwhelming situations which fame brings? She looks like she's doing pretty well already but how well will she deal with her the controversies which are inevitable in the media?
We hate to be such pessimists when usually we live in our own bubble of optimism and we cloud 9 is our second home, but this time, it just had to be said.
Good luck Willow, as much as we hate to say this you might need it!
