USA Today's Most (Over)Exposed Celebrities of 2008

Karl Erikson — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 17:01:00 GMT

USA Today does an annual Most Exposed Celebrities list, and they're not talking about the celebs who have the most nipple slippage. It's based on the "Celebrity Heat Index," and gauges a celebrity's exposure via print, TV and online news outlets during the year. Perhaps it should be called the Most OVERexposed Celebrities list.

This year, the top of the list is none other than a Famecrawler favorite, celeb mom Britney Spears. Her big comeback speaks volumes this year with "Circus." Plus, it helps that she hasn't shaved her head in months and months.

Here's the whole Top 10 list, many of whom are parents and well-known around the site here:

Britney Spears
Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston
Brad Pitt
Jamie Lynn Spears
Katie Holmes
Nicole Richie
Jessica Simpson
Tom Cruise
Lindsay Lohan

None of these really come as a surprise, except maybe for Jessica Simpson. The woman can't act, can't tell the difference between chicken and tuna, and can barely sing. How did she get so much media coverage this year?

By the way, Happy New Year! Hope you have a marvy time tonight and in the coming year. Drink one for me.

USA Today readers had cast their votes for America's Favorite Celebrity Mom and the winner has been chosen! Who is she? I'll give you a few clues: She's blonde, petite, has three kids and loves to talk.

It's Kelly Ripa! Ripa, co-host of Live With Regis and Kelly, had a fair bit of competetion as well. She was up against, Angelina (2nd), and Julie Roberts and Jada Pinkett Smith tied for third place.

Kelly is married to Mark Consuelos and is mom to Michael Joseph, 10, Lola Grace, 6, and Joaquin Antonio, 5.

Congrats Kelly!

Britney Failed to Show at Latest Deposition

Karen — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Pop-idiot Britney Spears has failed to show up at her latest deposition, the FIFTH one scheduled to decide matters in the custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline. You may recall she was "too sick" to attend one of the depositions, and was later partying that night.

Earlier yesterday, Britney's lawyers quit and she blames them for not going to court. TMZ reported that one source revealed, "Her whole life has become insane and it's impossible for anyone to get through to her."

I don't think they mean just on the phone. Nobody can talk to her and have it register. Clearly she doesn't want those kids back.

Britney Spears Is CELEBRITY OF THE YEAR!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:02:00 GMT

Not only was Britney Spears voted MTV's Top Artist of 2007 (that's baffling enough), she was also voted Celebrity of the Year by USA Today. It's a crazy world we live in isn't it? But she looks like a star right? USA Today sure got it right!

They counted all the times celebrities were mentioned in eleven different magazines, websites and other forms of media.

Brit came in first place with 22,112 mentions. She beat out Angelina Jolie by 11,000 mentions. Brad Pitt came in third with 4,000 less than his lady love.

Other celebs mentioned were, Lindsay Lohan in 4th place, followed by Jennifer Aniston. Also in the top ten are, Katie Holmes, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Anna Nicole Smith and Jessica Simpson.

I guess being the biggest trainwreck of 2007 gets you at the top of alot of lists!

Jerry Seinfeld on 'Bee Movie,' Life, and Kids

Karen — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:03:00 GMT

USA Today has a great interview with Jerry Seinfeld, including a photo montage and a sneak peek at the upcoming 'Bee Movie.' It sounds like he's just a big kid at heart:

"I wanted the Play-Doh experience. You open a can of Play-Doh and you dump that turquoise cylinder on a table, and you can do whatever you want. There's no rules," he says. "And the smell, of course — I don't know if that's considered sniffing. If it is, count me in.

"Making an animated movie is playing with toys, except you're a grown-up, and there's millions of dollars at stake."

In regards to home life, Jessica says he cracks the kids up so hard, she thinks they're going to choke. "He makes me laugh endlessly, and he makes our children cackle. He does funny voices, funny faces. Even though my kids have not seen Bee Movie, they're obsessed with the trailers. He'll do funny things with the characters. When he reads stories to them, he does different voices."

He claims his 6 year old daughter is the one with the comedy gene. "All kids like to laugh, but we were in the car the other day and she says, 'Daddy, I really like making people laugh.' She's 6 years old. And I go, 'I know the feeling.' "

Jerry goes on to talk about New York, his wife Jessica, (who just wrote Deceptively Delicious,) and the upcoming Bee Movie. It's definitely an entertaining interview. Enjoy.
