Oh, celebrities: they suck, yet we can't stop thinking about them. But who is truly the world's most worthless celebrity? Here at Heavy, we use science to answer these questions. Using a complex series of algorithms that monitor blog mentions, videos, and other Internet and media traffic, we have distilled the world's celebrities into an orderly list of 100 attention-seeking douchebags. Every day, we'll debut another entry on the list, counting down to the ultimate celebrity trainwreck.
Just because you're a trainwreck doesn't mean you don't have talent – today's pick is one of the most respected MCs and producers in the hip-hop game today, with numerous objectively great singles under his belt and an enormous fan following. But skills don't make you a good person, as his utterly childish behavior illustrates time after time. Whether it be making idiotic public pronouncements about his own personal importance or stealing the spotlight from other artists to communicate his moronic opinions, this MC would be better served staying in the studio and ordering out for Chinese food than going out in public. Who is it? After the jump!
This one was easy – it's Kanye West. When I first heard "Through The Wire," I was psyched to be there for the early days of an incredible new talent. But then all the hype went to Kanye's head, blowing it up to the size of a Takeshi Murikami sculpture. Kanye really seems to believe that he's some kind of cross-cultural messiah figure, and he uses that status to make a jackass of himself, day in and day out. Proclaiming "George Bush doesn't care about Black people," to his multiple awards show freakouts when he (or somebody he liked) didn't win, to being sued by Evel Knievel, Kanye just can't stay out of trouble. Let's leave the last word to our Commander In Chief, Barack Obama, shall we?
