Beyonce with Beyonce

Sasha Fierce or Beyonce?

Do alter-egos exist?

Jordan has recently gone back in the jungle for another series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.

Except this time she says she's going in as Katie Price, a calmer, more respectful lady than her outlandish, party-animal, alter-ego Jordan.

This isn't the first time a celeb has claimed to have an 'alter-ego'. Beyonce often refers to herself as Sasha Fierce, the crazy sexy side of her character when she's performing, as opposed to the sensitive, quieter side when speaking to her friends.

Do you think alter-egos are just an excuse to get away with being reckless? Or a fun way of looking at your personality?

We all have our out of control moments, but does that mean it can be justified by an alter-ego? Maybe you know some-one who says they have one?

Whatever your thoughts, let us know >>>

around my friends,im quite spontanous & loud & i dont stop talking, but when im with other people, im shy and feel a bit uncomfortable, so i come off as quiet. I am always being me but just showing a differnet side to my personality depending on who im with :)..

I have an alter ego, sometimes I can be really quite when i am in my house at school with my more popular friends and then with my closest friends i am the loudest craziest person you will ever meet..i just dont know what to call her yet

i have an alter ego, i used her when i am writing stories, generally about her and so people judge me on my writing skills not me. i've named her amelynne.

Carina, 15
Im aprianna when i want to be the more confident me. But im usually quite shy and depending on where i am and who im with, i change - a lot! its like another me waiting to burst out while i try and keep her hidden

I Don"t Think It"s A Good Idea To Have "An Alter-Ego", Because The Person You Show On Stage Could Be A Wild, Fierce, Sexy Girl/Boy. But When The Cameras Are Away You Could Be Really Quiet. And People May Get The Wrong Impression Of You. You Should Act Like Yourself At All Times, Coz At The End Of The Day, That Is Who You Are.,!

i think for katie price aka jordon and miley cyrus aka hannah montanna its just another excuse to make more money... instead of one label or clothing line/brand u can have two...raking money in from both ends but where beyonce is concerned i just think shes great.. be it sasha or beyonce shes brilliant and she should keep it up after all shes loved by almost everyone for both her sexcii side and her shy sensitive side.

I think everyone has an alter ego - there's the you only really close people know and the you just plain ol' everyone knows.

Paige , 14
I think some celebs will use any excuse but I know some people that ACTUALLY have alter-egos

I think its good for her to have an alter-ego, when she's on stage she's this fierce singing machine, but i bet when she's at home, she jus busts around in her joggin bottoms. It probably helps her feel like a normal person and helps her remeber who she was before the fame!!

Jordan just wants attention and is trying to make Peter jealous and this is shown through her behaviour in I'm A Celeb ... Get Me Out Of HereI think Beyonce is an excellent role model for all young women and her alter ego "sasha fierce" is truely showing how she wants to express herself as a successful modern artist and shows that she can still be herself in between performances. She makes it he own and it clearly is a fun way of looking at her personality.

Lorna, 13
Yeah, i personally think that everyone has the right to have a private life, its a free world so they can do whatever they like.. celebrities get judged too much nowa-days.

Chloe, 15
I think it's absotluley stupid and an excuse for behaving recklessley. I think you should be yourself and if being yourself means being quiet and loud, or shuy and confident depending on where yuo are then that is that. That ios you. You're still you no matter what name you tag on it.
