I don't see how celebrities are influencing prostitution, but what I do see is the rise in eating disorders, low self-esteem and young girls trying to be sexy.  As far as actual prostitution I have not heard of someone turning to prostitution because of a celebrity, but I definitly feel that young people are starting to have sex younger and younger because of the images of these young stars partying on t.v. and changing partners every few days or weeks also smoking, and drinking is very popular among young people because of seeing these people indulging in these things on t.v.

I believe many celebrities go into other related fields such as directing,producing and even now you are starting to hear more celebrities leading there voices to animation projects such as the movie CARS.\nOther celebrities write books, open restaurants, or just simply take it is and enjoy life.

I believe that casual sex is definitely on the rise.  I'm sure myspace and other networking sites have contributed(how much, I can't say).  I would say that television and movies have had a greater effect on it than anything.  The fact that movies and TV shows glorify having "casual sex" would lend me to believe that it is definitely leading our society in that direction.

Interesting question. I think that you are correct that they should hold some responsibility for it. But there are other people involved as well. Like the people who raised these insecure women and men with eating disorders, who didn't teach them to be secure in themselves and that these models are unhealthy and are at an unattainable weight without doing drugs and/or being anorexic /bulimic. There is too much emphasis in the media, though, to be perfect. I see it when they take a beautiful woman with a beautiful body and yet they feel the need to airbrush her to make her look even more perfect. And how they require certain types of celebrities to be under weight to keep their career going. It makes these girls and guys think that this is how we are supposed to look like when it's not only just a fantasy but these models are practically cartoons, drawings, 100% fake from start to finish.

I think the majority of modern rappers are a bad influence. they rap about mostly sex, drugs and violence. and society scratches their heads as to why teens are attracted to all of that.

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.

If ordinary folk get involved in politics, not very many people know or care about their opinions.  But celebrities have a great deal of influence.  If they have a candidate or issue which is of importance to them, they are aware of the fact that their fans will often go along with them; they have influence.  If I was famous, I would use that power to put forth my political opinions, too.  Wouldn't you?

It must because they're own self-esteem are low. Some people could be swayed so easily by whatever they see on TV, may it be in the ads or celebrities portraying their roles. \n But once you have your own principles in life and have a high regard for your own uniqueness, you don't have to follow those "bimbos that call themselves stars."

No these are false information. \n\nSome magazines add these news just to increase thier sales. Dont belive in these things.\n\nAnyway does it matter even if she has relation with them?? She is an actress and they are popular so many people will be intrested on her.\nMost of the actress need 3 things in life they are money, money and money. So they can go to any extent .... Dont get worried with these things

I have 4 daughters. 2 are teenagers now, one is 21 the other 2. I can honestly say that they are hugely influenced by Celebs and all other things that they see on t.v. I consider myself a very open minded Mom. But I do feel that are kids are learning way too much from what they see around them. If you noticed I think kids are much more sexual today. threesomes are common and exceptable. Even in the 7th and 8th grade. My 3 daughters are all influenced by the celebs and the life styles that they lead. But, its not only celbs its everything that is on T.V. and music too. We live in a society that has become obssessed with money and sex. And thats basically what celebrities base there lives on. How much money they make.....MTV Cribs for examlple. and who's screwing who...you cant get away from it.

Well, one of the negative influences is portraying "celebrities" and "athletes"  to be the ideal "level" to reach in America. Everyone does not walk in the same shoes. You have to be the person that you think you are. Not someone else determining your self-worth, what makes you happy, or even your direction in life.\n\nAn example of positive influence can be that it connects the youth with similar interests. Whether it be drama, music, or youth sports, these are kids that's actually living like them. They can relate to that.

Celebs alongwith all people, worldwide definately have some intentions behind their charity and donations. Very few people are remaining who help for social causes out of the heart. And publicity is one thing celebs are always on the look out for. So, one can never know the true reason behind any persons actions.

I think if you have a lot to offer someone, it shouldn't matter if you are rich, a celebrity or  in the public eye.  It's a shame people can be so shallow that they pass up "golden opportunities" when they are presented.  I think it also has a lot to do with what circles these people run in.  "Birds of a feather flock together" kind of thing.

Yes, but limited.\n\nWhat they do in their bedrooms should not be a concern of the public.  But beyond that, they should be as transparent as possible.  \n\nBy assuming governmental positions, they should expect the heighten public scrutiny - especially their finances.  This is the only way to keep corruption out of the government.  \n\nAs for the personal scandals, it's the same as every other celebrity.  People have a desire to know everything.  When they throw themselves into the limelight, they should already know and willing to pay the price.  They are literally “public figures”.
