Not So Much Like A Wrecking Ball!

A new survey asked more than 2,000 parents "Are there any celebrities you would hate for your children to idolize?" Obviously the answer is yes, but they also had them name names.
      Miley Cyrus is the #1 negative influence, with a whopping 78% of parents not wanting their kids to follow her example. Nicki Minaj is second with 54%, followed by Kim Kardashian with 43%, Kristen Stewart at 36%,and Rihanna at 34%. Of course, Miley is probably the most problematic for parents since she was once someone they may have encouraged as a role model back in her Hannah Montana" days.
      Kanye West is the #1 negative influence among male celebrities, with 56% of the vote, and Justin Bieber is right below him at 55%. Zayn Malik of One Direction was third with 41%, followed by Shia LaBeouf at 38%.

      Kate Middleton is #1 among the good female influences, with 34% approving of her. But Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Angelina Jolie also made the top five.

      Ed Sheeran is the #1 good influence for the guys at 41% - despite his atrocious chest tattoo - with Harry Styles in second at 26%. Apparently, tattoos are not a problem with these parents. "Late Late Show" host James Corden and Justin Timberlake also made the top five for guys.

      The survey provided the names for parents to choose from though, and it's unclear how many celebrities there were to choose from.
