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!

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has been snapped up to be the new judge on Dancing on Ice, hitting our screens in the new year.

The singer and Heart radio station presenter will be replacing old judge Ruthie Henshall, who also had no ice skating experience. Emma says she is there for  “the performance, the connection with the audience, the choreography. I have been performing for a long time now. I just know what I want to see in a performance. That’s going to be a big part of it for me”.

It seems Emma is catching the reality TV bug after appearing on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and coming 3rd, she helped Dannii Minogue pick out her contestants for the X Factor last year and now a judge on Dancing on Ice.

One of the reasons Emma jumped at the chance to appear on the show was so she could meet the ice skating legends Torvill and Dean, she says : “I’m so excited to be joining a show that I have been a huge fan of since it began, and to be working with Torvill and Dean, I can’t wait to get started.”

What do you make of Emma becoming the new judge and Ruth Henshall being given the cold shoulder?

“So tell us what you want, what you really really want!” We’d love to hear from you or play some of our Spice Girls quizzes at Triviala.

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”.

Others performing alongside the crazy singer were Britian’s Got Talent dance troop winners Diversity, Miley Cyrus, LuLu, last years X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, Bette Midler and opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

Are you Gaga about Lady Gaga?! Then we’ve loads of quizzes all about the pop sensation herself. Check them out! Also follow us at Twitter for more Triviala and showbiz gossip too!

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? Let us know what you think, we’d love to hear your thoughts…
