The National League of Junior Cotillions (NLJC) has selected its “Ten Best Mannered People,” individuals it considers “outstanding role models of good manners.” (Lord knows we need them!)
The top 10 well mannered celebrities of 2011 are as follows:
1. Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge – “for the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight.” and “the exemplary manner in which she has conducted herself, before and after her marriage to Prince William of Great Britain,” explains NLJC national director Elizabeth Anne Winters.
2. Justin Bieber – “for consistently showing courtesy to his fans.”
3. Paula Abdul – “for her encouragement to aspiring entertainers.”
4. Aaron Rogers – “for being a positive example for young athletes.”
5. Taylor Swift – “for inspiring young people with her music and her manners.”
6. George Stephanopoulos – “for extending warmth and kindness to Good Morning America guests.”
7. Jackie Evancho – “for demonstrating humility and politeness as a young performer.”
8. Erin Burnett – “for the respect she shows others as a network host.”
9. Emma Watson – “for the kindness extended to her Harry Potter fans.”
10. Tim Tebow – “for displaying good sportsmanship on and off the field.”
I look forward to finding out who makes the list for 2012 and ill behaved reality show faux-lebrities need not apply!
