Most Americans think movie stars are poor role models and almost half say movies generally aren't as good as they used to be, an AP-AOL poll found.

I actually was lucky because when I was young I was somewhat of a "celebrity" myself for a short while (musician in a known band), a very short while but got to mingle with a lot of "bigger" celebrities than I. The funny thing is this: when you "think" you belong in the same "club" and they (the celebrities) do too it's like you've known each other all your life (you have no clue who the hell they really are and the same for them about you), you're on a first name basis, party like you are buddies. But when "fame" fades (either way) then you lose touch. Personally I was always myself, no pretention and never snotty with others. Looking back, celebrity is just the fact that there are more people that know your name today than there were yesterday and tomorrow as many will forget it so when I meet a celebrity these days (and I do, my girlfriend was a PA to a well known singer and worked for Sony, NY and keeps in touch with a lot of people) I just say hello the same way I would my neighbor. They are only people and want the same things I want: peace, privacy and respect.

It takes a lot of luck. I'm not exactly a celebrity, but if modeling is anything like the movie industry, it's hard work, networking and a lot of luck. Just keep a good head on your shoulders. If you never make it to the A-List, you have to accept it and remember you still have an education.\nJ'adore,\nConnie

In my opinion an athlete should never be considered a role model. Just because a person has a special talent does not make them perfect people. Kids can admire the athletes talent or work ethic but as people they are no different

A few may be positive, but most are negative. A lot of pop stars are irresponsible and should not be used as role models.

The people made it what it is...If people would stop idolizing over celebrities...which are normal people you know...then maybe that would all change, but until then it will all stay the same.  Tell me why actors, models, and sports players get more attention than the best surgeons, doctors and scientists is beyond me....

My father is the CEO of Loreal and ive met lots of celebritys. To me, the only ones who are worth meeting are the ones who have big hearts and care about their fans. I mean, I think that fame and fortune should only go to people who upright deserve it. Beyonce was definatly the nicest one Ive met. But Stev-o from Jack@ss was no doubt stuck up. Meeting him was a waste of time.=/

Hehe, I wouldn't say role models, but measures. I can compare myself to a lot of the OT folks (in the bad actions) History itself bible or not is full of people who were good but did bad stuff. \n\nBut, I would rather look to them as a role model rather than Bill Clinton any day.

I think that anytime celebs put their personal life out there, they will be vulnerable to tabloids, rumors, and talk. I don't think it’s healthy for a relationship to have so much exposure. Some things are better left private.

Celebrities are fascinating to people because they have talents (most of the time), good looks, and seem to lead a perfect life. wait..one more thing..sometimes it's okay to care about someone you've never met.

A lot . Just by being a role model , children are very smart and intelligent. They do pick up what adults are doing. If you have a good teacher he/she will role model the social behavior of what is to be expected from a child. A child will pick up on it.

Two words: britney Spears. Beacuse of her, young women and girls have chosen her as a role model and they try to copy her negitive things she does.  Also because of her other star try to copy her and many other girl copy those star who aren't very good and that lead today.  A good role model for young girls and woman are their mothers not some slutty stars.

I've met quite a few famous people. I grew up in the (small) spotlight and my parents were friends with people such as Ray Sharkey, Ann B. Davis, Robert Palmer, various politicans; a wide variety of people. Many are dead now; others we lost contact with and I've had no desire to renew old friendships. I was on tv a few times as a kid and I didn't see and still don't see any glamour in being well-known or famous. \nPeople are people to me, and I've dated actors, a couple of models, as well as people of many other professions. I've found people in the spotlight are generally much more insecure and less likely to know what they want in life. I like people who know who they are and who are secure. \nAnn B. Davis and Duncan Regehr for example got much more interesting in my opinion when they stepped out of the spotlight and went on to living on a commune (Davis) and painting/being an artist (Regehr). \nI'm much more likely to avoid being around or talking to someone famous than not famous. I couldn't get far enough away from Angelina Jolie each of the two times our paths have crossed. I saw how she treated other people and you couldn't pay me enough to be in the same time zone with her. \nThere are exceptions though. I met Dr Ruth skiing years ago and she's SO much fun and so sweet! She's awesome! When I was 16 I talked to Sam Waterston (in the seat next to mine) on a long flight and enjoyed his company (didn't care he was famous). I loved Robert Palmer's sense of humour and of course his music.

Hun I modeled for years and lemme tell ya, it does not matter who you are.  You have to hear negative things to succeed.  Even the most successful models are constantly told they are too fat etc.  You need thick skin and if you really want to succeed you should want to hear the negative feedback as well as the positive.
