"Hopefully, young girls will watch [me]," says Rumer, "and feel confident about themselves and go: 'Ok, that girl's not entirely the ideal of what a perfect picture is supposed to be and she feels confident and beautiful, then I can too.'"

"If we can have the ability to do that, I'm very excited about that. As long as you are comfortable with who you really are and your friends, and the people that are around you know that, that's all that really matters."

True enough. Now, if Rumer can follow up these words of sense by doing something more valuable that hanging out at clubs, dating emo rockers and launching a perfume line every two years, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ja, sometimes it's kind of hard to remember that there are people out there who're actually famous for something.

One person who's famous for being an incredible actor is soon going to be playing someone who's famous for being an all-round incredible human being. The actor is Morgan Freeman — who will be taking the daunting role of Nelson Mandela in the upcoming movie 'The Human Factor'.

Getting Madiba's accent down is a tough job in itself (please, no repeats of the SA accent massacres in 'Lethal Weapon II'!). And playing someone that revered can't be easy.

Says Freeman: "I've met Mandela several times and it's the one role which does intimidate me. How do you play a man like that? You have to get it right — otherwise there's no point."

From the sublime to the ridiculous... Want to know something that really has no point? That would be making a big deal, at the age of 15, of the fact that you're going to remain a virgin till the day you get married. And you want to know why that's pointless? Because either you land up getting married way too young, before you even know yourself, or you land up breaking your vow to God, your fans and the Disney Channel, and looking like a hypocrite.

Oh, and, either way, you absolutely guarantee that the media are going to be watching ceaselessly for any 'missteps'.

But, hey, did 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus learn from once-famous-teen-virgin Britney Spears, and others before her? Hell, no! In full post-risque-'Vanity Fair'-cover damage control mode, Miley has just gone and pledged to keep herself nice and pure for her future hubby.

Look, I'm all for a young teen who's probably not nearly emotionally ready to be abstaining from sex for now — but in a few years when those hormones really kick in... I'm guessing Miley's going to be bitterly regretting that glib promise.

But, as long as you are going to announce to the world your vow of chastity, why not chose TV Guide magazine as the vehicle for it? "I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand," explains Cyrus to that illustrious publication.

"Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall, and I think if [abstinence] is a commitment girls make, that's great." Fall? From what exactly? And, uh, is it equally great if boys make this commitment?

What could be the reason that teen boy band members aren't telling their fans that they promise never to shag anyone other than their dear future wife?
