    I'm not a fan of either women, but Kate hasn't exactly done anything apart from go to university and work part time for her parent's firm before marrying William, she strikes me as a bit workshy to be honest. Cheryl is clearly a hard worker who came from an underprivileged background and I respect her for that, but I just don't think she has much talent.
    :toofunny: How on earth is Cheryl a hard worker? Possbily she's a hard worker with her fists and mouth...

    Cheryl Cole is a ghastly young woman. The very sight of her makes me wretch. She is an orange, self-seeking, wicked Northern girl who wouldn't know what class was if it hit her across the face. Ms Cole thinks the whole world owes her a favour "ee man came from a council estate y'no like" as though she deserves respect for being a talentless celebrity. That is what it boils down to - not the fact that she is a chav, but the fact that she cannot sing. If you scrape away her false tan and comestics, you will find a woman with dreadful skin (smokaholic) and a common boatrace (i.e. face). Whenever I heard her on those L'OReal adverts, I couldn't understand her - just as well, probably would be "look at me - propah pretty aye". The bottom line is, she is a racist thug. The idolised bint attacked a toilet attendant, you may argue it was almost ten years ago - so what? The Holocaust happened a while ago and that still is a disgraceful act. I detest Cheryl Cole, and I hate the mind numblingly stupid chavs who worship her, they can probably relate to her mannerisms. This country has gone to the dogs, I was shocked when I saw she stood behind the Queen! Why didn't the Queen object? Nobody would have cared. Afterall Cheryl Cole is a pathetic little chav who just got lucky. If I had things my way she would be scrubbing toilets with her toothbrush (that's assuming she knows what one is).
    I am dying with laughter. :rofl:

    Probably, her dance routines and lip syncing do require quite a lot of energy to be spent up...

    I'm not fan of Cheryl Cole, and I know you're referring to the racism case she got in trouble for, but that aside she worked hard to come from an underprivileged background to someone everyone in the country recognises (despite her lack of ability to sing live/at all). She has no class, but she certainly doesn't strike me as lazy.

    I agree. If waiting around to get married and never working a day in your life makes you a role model then okay. She's pretty and has done well so far but she sure as hell isn't a great role model.

    I don't think people consider her a great role model in terms of what she's actually achieved, but more in the sense that she's a popular public figure who is generally regarded as very classy, she doesn't do the whole "loads of make up, no clothes" thing that a lot of other female celebrities that girls look up to do. Like, I know she's a duchess and all, but that's the only thing I can assume people mean when they call her a great role model.

    She has to be like that. As you said, she's a duchess, falling out of clubs drunk, caked in makeup with no clothes would be unacceptable fo someone in her position. Everyone goes on about classy her style is, one example is how she has apprently bought nude tights back in and made them classy- what most people don't know is that nude tights are royal protocol as you are not allowed to go bare legged. Why does that make her a role model? It's not hard to keep your clothes on and not pile on the make-up, I find it sad that she has to be applauded for that.

    Oh, I know, I'm not a fan of either of them. It was just that the person I replied to had made out like people called her a role model because she married a prince, I was just pointing out that that's probably not the reason her admirers like her so much.

    Cheryl came from a council house in Newcastle and made success and fame whereas Kate's claim to fame is meeting the future King at uni and clinging to him for all she could.

    Kate cuts ribbons

    Cheryl works her socks off whilst taking abuse from all corners (chav etc)


    p.s. I'm certaintly not a fan of CC by any means
    Yeah because Cheryl definitely earned her fame which is based on her being ridiculously fit and having friends who can kind of sing.

    I just find it sad that a woman who has not contributed anything significant is idolised and hailed as a role model because she can purchase clothes that cover everything up.

    I suppose Kate is considered a role modal because she is one of very few young women in the media spotlight that actually dress well (in terms of non slutty clothing) and act well (doesn't swear or hit people etc). Cheryl Cole on the other hand may have worked harder than Kate, at least at the start (she's very rich now) but dresses like a slut and causes aggro in public. You can argue that Kate has to act the way she does but then royals have caused scandals in the past cause of their dress and mannerisms so at the end of the day its still her choice. There is no reason for Cheryl Cole to act the way she does or dress the way she does, again a choice. I personally care little for neither of them but the public do care about these things. Who would you rather your daughter acted like, Kate or Cheryl? As for people insulting Kate for not working hard, I personally don't know how much Kate works. She went to university so she must have studied at least and maybe people think she's a good role model for girls cause at least she went to university? She married a man who works hard (is part of the RAF) and acts well himself whereas Cheryl's choice was not so great, maybe people see it a good role model to young girls to choice their men more wisely? She says she wants to be a traditional housewife, I don't know if she acts like one, if she actually cooks and cleans but at the end of the day there is nothing wrong with girls choosing to have families instead of careers if that is what they want (as it is not wrong for men to be househusbands).

    People say she's "underprivileged" and the only thing that strikes me as working class is the fact she lived in a council estate. There are decent working class people, but her and her family choose to fight in public, swear and be awful people. Therefore it is a choice.

    From her Wikipedia page:

    As she was interested in dancing from an early age, Cole started sequence dancing at the age of four,[27] before joining The Royal Ballet's summer school at the age of nine.[28] She won modelling competitions, including the titles of Boots Group's "bonniest baby", Mothercare's Happy Faces Portrait competition, "Best Looking Girl of Newcastle", The Evening Chronicle's "Little Miss and Mister", and "Most Attractive Girl" at the MetroCentre.[29] She also appeared in two British Gas adverts, an SCS advert, and an Eldon Square Christmas advert with younger brother Garry as well as appearing in dance recitals on some television shows.[citation needed] She attended Walker Comprehensive School in Newcastle,[30] and left at 16 with few qualifications. During her time there, she was suspended twice: once for fighting with another pupil and again for swearing on a bus.[31] After leaving school in 1999, she took a job as a waitress in a restaurant
    Please read the bit I've put in bold - she was clearly a thug with no respect for education or for others. Why does she deserve respect for that?

    What has she actually done that's the epitome of hard work? Other than be Simon Cowell's bitch? It isn't hard to sit on the judging panel and pretend to cry, exclaiming "I love ya" every five minutes. She's rude to the guests as well - a polite person would have tackled Wagner's comments about her upbringing in private, though she attacked him deliberately. (The video's on YouTube I think - I remember reading about it somewhere). One of the reasons why I dislike her so much - she feels that just because she has a family of thugs she can attack people as she pleases.

    Personally I think businessmen, bankers, doctors, cleaners, etc etc work hard, but celebrities and other ilk do not.

    As for Kate, I don't really care for her either way. She always looks classy and speaks well, but I don't see how she should be applauded for behaving normally. She seems like a genuine person though, unlike that stupid tattoed brute Cole.

    How does Cheryl cause aggro in public?. Aside for the toilet thing like 10 years ago.

    The only thing I respect her for (perhaps that was too strong a word, I barely pay attention to her) is that she came from a council estate where many people think that you will come to nothing because of your upbringing, which is often not the case. I lived on a council estate and am hoping for a bright future, albeit not one racially abusing others.

    It's pretty clear you have a hatred for Cheryl and I can sort of understand that, I wouldn't go as far as to call her all the names you have because I don't know her nor pay that much attention to her, I just know that she used to live on a council estate, can't sing and has made millions out of that. It's the mugs that pay her the salary that should be attacked for keeping her in the spotlight as well in all fairness.

    Kate is a respectable, dignified, stylish lady, who has an elegant and lovely sense of style, all the while having a brilliant sense of charity.

    Cheryl is a chav (case in point: bathroom attendant) who can't sing, wears far too much make up and far too little clothing. Not to mention that awful tattoo she has recently gotten which makes her look like she's **** herself.

    I know she has to because of being in the Royal Family but bloody hell, I don't get the big deal about Kate's style, she dresses like my granny for ****'s sake. You're 30, woman, not a pensioner!
    Cheryl doesn't have all that much talent but at least she didn't have everything handed to her on a plate.

    How does she dress like a Granny?

    Why is there an appropriate attire for when people reach a certain age?

    I'd much rather see a "conservative" outfit than this:

    Incidentally, Cherly climbed Kilomanjaro for charity, raising millions.

    She dresses really conservatively for someone of your age.
    And because when you're old things start to sag, skirts above the knee and low cut tops should really be avoided for the sake of decency if your skin isn't up to it anymore.
