Bellezza, if you had a child you would realise you have absolutely nothing close to the control you allude to here. Children are exposed to all sorts of influences - celebrities or otherwise - that you wouldn't imagine. How would you "not allow her to be exposed to that kind of celeb"? By not allowing her to leave the house, to home educate her, to chaperone her everywhere, to choose her friends for her?
As a parent, all you can do is provide a strong counterbalance and antidote to the things you personally don't approve of, and hope that what you might see as more positive role models and influences have a stronger appeal.
