Katy Perry Is Star Teens Most Want to Look Like, Poll Finds

Bust out the rainbow wigs and the Daisy Dukes, ladies!

According to a new poll from the Good Surgeon Guide, teenage girls would most like to look like the "Teenage Dream" singer Katy Perry, the company reports.

Perry received 69 percent of the vote, while British singer Frankie Sandford (64 percent), Cheryl Cole (61 percent), Beyoncé (57 percent), Britney Spears (54 percent), WAG Abbey Clancy (53 percent), Fergie (51 percent), Nicole Scherzinger (48 percent), Victoria Beckham (46 percent), and Rihanna (44 percent) reportedly rounded out the top 10.

But while Perry may be a pretty face, teens aren't fooled by her photo shoots.

In the poll of 1,078 girls, 87 percent assumed that the majority of celebrity images were airbrushed, though 62 percent admitted that they would still like to look like their favorite stars, the plastic surgery website says.

Is that before or after the Photoshopping?




And as for which stars appear to get the most airbrushing help, Britney Spears -- who was in fact retouched for her Candie's ads -- took 71 percent of the vote, followed closely by Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Scherzinger, Katy Perry, Keira Knightley, Cheryl Cole, Jessica Simpson, Fergie, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Oh, kids -- so complicated.

An overwhelming 62 percent of teens reportedly also claimed that most female celebs had undergone at least one cosmetic procedure. Noooooo!

"Although we are all aware that airbrushing happens, it doesn't stop us beating ourselves up for not looking like the women in the magazines," Good Surgeon Guide founder Christiana Clogg says in the release.

"Celebrities are role models for adults as well as teenagers; they have a responsibility to the public to be honest, as do the publications that feature them."

And perhaps a few fashion retailers too? Hint hint, Ann Taylor?

Meanwhile, read Emily Blunt's anti-airbrushing statements.

Ron Paul (R-Texas) could play the spoiler if he mounted an independent campaign by making it virtually impossible for the GOP candidate to beat Barack Obama. "Ron Paul would probably take about 17 to 18 percent of the national vote," says Reason Polling Director Emily Ekins. While Paul would pull votes from both candidates, he would take more from Romney.

I'm 18 and I do not wish to look like any celebrity, nor do I look up to them or even take them seriously for that matter.

They have to airbrush Sarah Jessica Parker to make her look that ugly? Hmm... always thought it was a natural ugliness.

Being that this was a UK poll, it was pretty impressive that Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Britney Spears came in 1st, 4th, and 5th respectively. And Tyler, based on the fact that those listed were the top ten and also that the total numbers listed (1,078) for the next poll, I'm going with the idea that those numbers are votes for each of contestants, not percentages.
