Dora the Explorer must be feeling the pressure to adapt to the current trends of child stars trying to grow up to soon. Having spent a large number of years as a child superstar and hero, Dora the Explorer has shown some alarming signs that she may be the next celebrity train wreck at only 15 years of age. The signals that something may be wrong are starting to pile up. Consider the following.

Rumors are widely circulating of some less than appropriate photos popping up on the Internet of Dora in a green bra. Add this to the fact that she just shot a photo shoot with the controversial Angie Leisorvitz for an upcoming Cartoon Fair cover, and one starts to see a disturbing pattern. One wonders what she and her dad, Miguel were thinking.

Eighteen year old Go, Diego, Go Star, Diego Dumbledorf, has been rumored to spending a lot of time in Dora's dressing room lately. Diego, who has been linked with many Hollywood starlets, is known for wild parties and drug convictions. He once hijacked Dora's backpack to hide his PCP when pulled over for reckless driving in San Diego. All charges were dropped however, when the backpack spoke on his behalf.

Strangely, Dora the Explorer is now sporting lime green eyes. Known for her arresting, staring black eyes, the sudden shift in color to the more adult green color has people wondering. Can she still stare blankly? Only time will tell for Dora the Explorer.

After missing three months off the set of Dora the Explorer, insiders are wondering if she may have spent time in rehab. Dora has always had an affinity for periods of long silence after speaking. While many have guessed that Dora the Explorer was high, this has not been corroborated. One can only wonder why she stares in silence after every sentence.

Apparently Dora the Explorer is now aiming for an older audience as she is no longer sporting her world famous banana boat cut. Instead, she is now sporting eighties big hair. Most industry insiders feel that Dora the Explorer now looks like a floozy. This new hair is also getting in the way of her traveling duties on the show. It is hard to climb through jungles when your hair is constantly getting tangled in the vines.

The pressures of the Cartoon world can get the best of anyone, and Dora appears to be no exception. Hopefully, the adults in charge of looking after Dora the Explorer will get her around the right people. Children everywhere are hoping that Dora gets her act together soon.
