Should Celebrities become Ambassadors?

Yes.No doubt................

agreed ;--)...........................

Yes... but I still remember him strutting around shaking that Jello!...Funny what we are able to remember.. and then other stuff No Clue ...

I remember that We are old LOL ;--)

He is the perfect example indeed @Panda... I know that kids ate Jello just because he showed them how it wiggled.. and that was years ago...

@Cindy Cosby is EXACTLY the reason why entertainers should NEVER be role models!!!!

Let me see... Miley, Justin,,, many youngsters had looked up to both of them...
Bill Cosby.. what a fall he has taken, Jarod from Subway, The Dell Guy.. "I'm Getting a Dell" that guy had everything going for him.... They poof he was GONE.. like the wind.
Aaron Hernandez.... He too had everything.. where is he now?.... Michael Vick....

Madonna.... Now she was an attention getter..I certainly would not of wanted my little girl thinking that was how to dress.. If of course I had a little girl....

NO!!!!!..................................

Cindy Bolley: Are you able to name the plenty that you would say are in the limelight?

Cindy Bolley, some of the people, chosen by the UNICEF are looking to get money to help with charities! Many Celebrities have money & can raise money; Because of their famous lifestyles- Pretty Jane, answered & list some...You can see an even bigger list here of celebrities who are advocates for the United Nations Children's Fund. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UNICEF_Goodwill_Ambassadors)

Enjoy Your Day!

@Pretty Jane... Not sure you read my answer.....

I understand what everyone is saying that celebrities don't make the best advocates because of their lives are usually a mess, but on the other-hand because they are "famous" people will listen to them and that is why I think organizations want to use them as endorsements.

Celebrities in my opinion want attention and they will do anything to get noticed, unfortunately it is usually negative instead of positive.

I have heard so many actors, actresses and musicians who in my opinion have a influence on the youth in our society say that they are not "role models". and they usually say this after they get caught doing something that is controversial in the media, go figure.

I agree with you @Cindy some of the people chosen by the UNICEF are looking to get money to help with charities and many celebrities have money or can raise money because of their famous lifestyles. Here is a list of some:
1 . Angelina Jolie
2 . David Beckham
3 . Lucy Liu
4 . Clay Aiken
5 . Liv Tyler
6 . Laurence Fishburne
7 . Claudia Schiffer
8 . Susan Sarandon
9 . Bono
10 . Sarah Jessica Parker
11 . Gabriel Byrne
12 . Alyssa Milano
13 . Jackie Chan
14 . Angela Bassett
15 . Joel

Just because they are in the limelight does not make them a leader and it especially does not make them role models material. Are you able to name me a few that you would consider Role Models?..... I bet I would be able to name you plenty that are in the limelight..... and I would hate for anyone to think they should try to be like them!
