Bad influence: Miley Cyrus, 18, has been voted the worst role model for young girls by an AOL poll beating out competition from Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato


Miley Cyrus has been voted the worst celebrity role model for young girls in a new poll of teenage girls themselves.

The 18-year-old singer and actress has topped the list for the second year in a row due to her scandalous behaviour over the past 12 months.

Miley beat out competition from Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato - despite both of them entering rehab in 2010.

This poll comes a month after Miley was caught on video smoking a bong containing a drug called salvia.

Although not illegal it is listed as a 'drug of concern' by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

The survey was conducted by AOL website Just So You Know and was voted on by their core audience of girls aged between nine and 15.

Miley received more than 58 per cent of the 99,000 votes.

Also in the top 10 celebrity with the worst influence were Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, rapper Kanye West and Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford, who was arrested for marijuana possession.


Growing up: Miley has made a definite effort to shed her good girl image and her Hannah Montana persona


Miley began her career starring on the Disney show Hannah Montana and she acquired a very young fan base.

Despite other celebrities her age also acting out, like Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen, Miley made her fortune through her younger fans so is thought to be held to a higher standard.

Seemingly desperate to shed her good girl image, Miley has been pictured wearing scandalous outfits, dancing provocatively in nightclubs and drinking alcohol abroad despite the legal age in the U.S. being 21 and driving while talking on her cell phone which is illegal.

On her 18th birthday in November, Miley was seen engaging in some very adult behaviour with her boyfriend Aran Jogia, 18.

She was pictured sprawled over the bar of Hollywood club Trousdale while Jogia was straddled on top of her kissing her neck.

Miley has also been caught publicly kissing ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and has been linked to several other boys including Nick Jonas.


The actress is currently filming her latest movie So Undercover in New Orleans. The action comedy is based in a sorority house and co-stars Entourage's Jeremy Piven.
