Guo Meimei is set on a showbiz career despite a chorus of disapproval that appears to show she would be better off developing her charity work.

The 20-year-old's only previous experience of celebrity life caused a stir by flaunting her wealth while claiming she held a senior position at the Red Cross Society of China.

This didn't go down well, as she was pretty much universally criticized for being a self-serving liar. Undeterred, earlier this week, she confirmed she would be taking on acting work.
