Better role model: Katie Price or Kate Middleton

She's admitted to being a head-job. She's overweight, smokes and drinks loads.
Classic British girl if you ask me.

What the hell is a "real" person? You do realise that someone who is successful, emotionally balanced and fit is just as real a person as rapists and junkies?

Like you said Katie Price earned her money and fame.
What would a girl learn from Kate Middleton? How to marry a rich guy?

What makes Adele a good role model?

what would a girl learn from katie price? How to be exploited by a sexist industry that reduces women to meat for male consumption?

Would you rather your daughter be like price or middleton?

Opinion, not fact.
Are you kidding? I'd obviously prefer having Kate as my daugther. I'd be cut in on the royal family's privileges. Who wouldn't want that??

obviously it's opinion, so is what you said, and what this debate is - nothing more than opinion.

Mm yeah I get what you mean, but most people aren't all successful, emotionally balanced and fit are they? She represents most people that just aren't perfect, but that doesn't worry her at all. She isn't a carbon copy that drives to be those three things either, and that is what I respect about her.

People I look up to aren't so called 'perfect' people, who never put a foot wrong, never put on that extra ounce and never touch a cigarette or god forbid, a recreational drug! People that succumb to the pressure of the celebrity world is the other end of the spectrum that I'm balancing her 'realness' upon; ie, sheep that follow the crowd, generally don't have a talented leg to stand on and think staying thin will keep them in. People who are lead their life by good morals and reflect traits of someone I'd like to be - i.e Adele. She's successful by means of her talent alone and isn't willing to let the pressure of our sick society get to her and continues to do what she loves however she wants to do it.

Or has Katie exploited the lust of men in an industry that prays on the sexually desperate and unsatisfied?

Always another side of the coin...

yes she has, much like a hooker.

Katie Price’s admission that she doesn’t use contraception is dangerous to young fans

Even disregarding that, is there really any question?

Yes, one is thought to have no class, which is a subjective issue, but has made a living for herself. The other supposedly has class but hasn't done anything other than marry a prince. There's not much going for either. However IMO I see nothing emperically wrong with getting naked for money so for me katie price is better because she has made her own success.

By being a permanent presence on reality Tv, putting her name on books she doesn't write and going through a string of doomed marriages to stay in the public eye? That along with all the plastic surgery and fake tan. I guess the definition of success is also subjective. I don't think either of them are good role-models.

Who is a better role model for young people? Katie Price, a self-made woman, or Kate Middleton, whose status and wealth gained from marriage?

Actually an interesting question, my first instinct was "Kate Middleton of course" but then I stopped to think.

Well Katie Price is a self made success story who is clearly a very good business woman who has had to deal with the difficulty of raising a disabled child wh she clearly loves very much and is devoted to (for example her trying to start up a free school for disabled children as they're closing down the one Harvey goes to).

On the negative side she has had huge amounts of plastic surgery and flaunts this in public thus possibly contributing to the warped of what is a "normal" body that young girls today have and the foundation of her business empire is that she is willing to take her clothes of in public.

Kate Middle ton is a nice, well brought up and elegant young woman who dresses well and has stepped into a very difficult role astonishingly well.

However her status comes solely from having married a prince and with her increasingly thin frame she is not helping to give young girls a balanced view of what is beautiful either.

However of the two probably for girls I'd say Katie Price is a better role model, but she's not a perfect one. Neither of them are really.

If you're looking for better role models for young girls I'd say Jessica Ennis and Adele would fit the bill.
