Celebrity Status

Britney parades around drunk with no underwear, Gwyneth bashes her homeland, others are getting DWI's in between rehab stints, but kids think this is the greatest!

Children under 10 think being a celebrity is the "very best thing in the world" but do not think quite as much of God, a survey has revealed.

The poll of just under 1,500 youngsters ranked "God" as their tenth favourite thing in the world, with celebrity, "good looks" and being rich at one, two and three respectively.

What's most interesting is leaving out "killing" and "wars" from the list of the "very worst things in the world", the remaining items; drunks, bullies, illness, smoking, stealing, divorce and being fat, seem to be the characteristics celebrities uphold.

I think the late and great Anne Ramsey said it best as Mama Fratelli in the movie "The Goonies" ....."Kids suck"

Maybe if we had the little children live with a star for a week it would open their eyes a bit.

Too true re: characteristics celebrities uphold.

I fear the children would still be blinded by the fame and fortune.
