The British role model has been in a severe decline, it was revealed yesterday.

A massive 67% of people considered John Terry and Tiger Woods as perfect public figures before their recent alleged scandals were revealed.

Now, a staggering 86% of Brits regard them as terrible role models for the younger generation.

Another 76% of Brits polled felt that high profile divorces/separations represented bad examples of the morals of marriage and family values. High profile cheating allegations are dissolving the traditions of trust and faithfulness.

For younger Britons, being exposed to a quick divorce in the public limelight conceals the large financial reality of ending a marriage through British courts. The average cost of ending a marriage is around £13,000.

The poll of over 1000 people across the UK, conducted by online quiz site triviala.com revealed over 90% people believe too much emphasis is put on the wrong type of celebrities such as the likes of Pete Doherty, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse are more often than not in the limelight for the wrong reasons.

83% of people thought Reality TV stars shouldn’t be considered celebrities.

In addition to this, 89% of the public showed their frustration that these individuals were becoming famous due to their likeability factors rather than having actual talent to inspire the younger generation with.

An astonishing 93% of people polled believed today’s celebrities are encouraging young people to succeed via quick wins instead of forging long-term careers.

An additional 91% of adults surveyed believe the younger society are unaware of the real pressures of fame and success which often lead to either breakdowns, bankruptcy or substance abuse.

A surprising 90% stated that their perceptions of MPs being bad role models didn’t change regardless of the recent expense scandal. Its interesting to discover these hugely influential individuals are seen as such bad figures in our society.

Supposed role models don’t realise their importance and influential power they have on the younger generation including fans, youth and the general public. They become inconsiderate of how much they are valued and looked up to for direction and aspirations.

As a nation, it is collectively our duty to set the correct example to ensure our younger members of society can decipher right from wrong and keep traditional British values alive.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the survey, we really appreciate it!

As the Oscars are nearly upon us, this Sunday is sure to be the biggest event of the year. And lucky Brit actress Carey Mulligan who has been nominated for the  Best Actress award is happy for another reason at the moment… her Transformers star boyfriend Shia LaBeouf.

“An Education” starlet Mulligan met the action hero on the set of their new film “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” last August and it seems the couple have been well and truly loved up ever since.

LaBeouf has been linked to co star Megan Fox and singer Rihanna but it seems he may have now found himself a talented English rose to call his girlfriend. Lets hope he escorts her down the red carpet on Sunday as to make their first public appearance together.

Michael Douglas who also stars in the follow up to the 1987 Wall Street classic, warned the both of them about the dangers of off screen relationships but also made  it clear that they are perfect for each other. He said: “I warned them, “Don’t ever do that”, but they are an item and they are having a great time.”

Well we have our fingers crossed for the sensational actress and after winning the BAFTA for the same award, we hope it’s in the bag!

Katie Price has married Celebrity Big Brother winner, cage fighter Alex Reid in a 22 minuite ceremony in Las Vegas. The mother of three only divorced ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer Peter Andre in May 2009.

The newlyweds have been dating for seven months and has been a rollercoaster on/off saga. When Price appeared for the second time on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, in her exit interview she publicly dumped Alex on air. After saying she had done “a lot of thinking in the jungle” she went onto say “I wanted to be on my own, I don’t need a relationship. I hope we can remain friends”. Ant and Dec then asked her if Alex was still her boyfriend, she simply said “I’m not with him”.

Some people have said Katie has wed the CBB cross dressing winner for popularity and media attention. However, her agent has published a statement claiming that: “Their decision to marry has not been made with any media deal in place. It is purely down to their love for each other.” Hmmm, well this is publicity hungry Jordan we are talking about and I’m not that convinced, are you?

In an interview with OK magazine only published on Tuesday, Price had said that she will be having children with Alex and that they would be “together forever”.

According to reports, the couple didn’t allow any filming or photography to take place during the ceremony. Although ITV2’s cameras were there as they also screen Price’s relality TV show. So no doubt there will be at least some footage or a predictable OK front cover story! Let’s just wait and see…

The X Factor is shown in more than 17 countries globally and is the most popular entertainment show in the  world. The UK entertainment TV formats are fast becoming the worlds leaders. There was ‘Pop Idol’, across the pond becoming American Idol, ‘Britains Got Talent’ was so successful we now have ‘America’s Got Talent’ with old X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne holding the fort and the BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has been transformed into ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in the USA.

The Queen of pop, Lady Gaga met the real Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool after closing the famous show.

As expected, Gaga wore a show stopping outfit, a red PVC Elizabethan-esque dress with red sequinned eye make up and an over 20 foot train trailing behind her dress. She performed an unreleased track from her new album ‘The Fame Monster’ called ‘Speechless’ which she has openly said is penned for her beloved father who helped her get over a cocaine addiction before she was famous.

Lady Gaga is definately enjoying her stop over here in London after performing on the X Factor, Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball and also making a stop at a traditional English pub in North Acton for a quick drink!

She says on her Twitter: “Nothin like a whiskey, fish + chips in the UK to prepare for the Queen”.

The BBC revealed today that former deputy Prime Minister John Prescott will make a cameo appearence in the final episode of the popular comedy Gavin and Stacey.

Currently broadcasting series 3 of one of Britain’s favourite comedies, we will see Prescott at man eater Nessa’s wedding, who in previous episodes has alluded to him being an ex flame of hers.

Prescott has stated on his blog how it all came about: “I’d heard about this running joke about me and this woman called Nessa in the series. Ruth [Jones], who plays Nessa, got in touch and asked if I’d be a sport and play a part”. As the Series 3 DVD was released this week, the secret could no longer be kept as viewers spotted the famous face in the crowd. Prescott “thoroughly enjoyed his cameo in Gavin and Stacey” and it seems he still finds the whole idea extremely funny saying: “As for Nessa, I suppose I have to accept it appears I’ve lost out to a better man.”

What a sport!

If sitcoms are what make you laugh out loud and remember catchphrases from, why not play some of our sitcom quizzes at Triviala?

The three lucky X Factor contestants Joe McElderry, Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon were voted in by the British public to be the finalists for the biggest talent competition on TV.

Danyl Johnson, who was mentored by Simon Cowell, received the lowest number of votes and was sent home. The music teacher from Reading was graceful in his defeat saying: “I might have gone out in the semi-final but I’ve gone out to some of the best people I’ve ever met”.

So, who will be crowned King or Queen of X Factor 2009? Will it be the geordie cutie Joe who’s always been mentor Cheryl’s favourite, the cheeky chappy Essex boy Olly with his funky dance moves or Dagenham diva Stacey who has won over the public with her charming personality and pleasently surprising singing voice?
