Oh, celebrities: they suck, yet we can't stop thinking about them. But who is truly the world'smost 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.

You know how we do this by now, I'd assume - I drop some hints as to the identity of the next person on the list and you try to guess their identity. Ready? Let's go. This woman is one of Barack Obama's most dedicated enemies, eating up airtime on whatever channel will have her to advance her demented conspiracy theories about the facts of his birth. And what gives her the legal muscle she needs to gain network credibility? Why, she's a dentist. Can you guess?

Orly Taitz

Number ninety-eight isĀ Orly Taitz! The Orange County lawyer-dentist has become one of the most visible figures in the "Birther" movement, that loosely-organized coiterie of right-wing nutjobs that claim Barack Obama was born in Kenya and thus is not allowed to be President ever. Despite reams of evidence proving the contrary, Taitz continues to doggedly levy lawsuit after lawsuit against the U.S. government, while Barack shoots some hoops and laughs - or does he? Taitz also claims that Obama vandalized her car, gave money to Hamas for rockets, and has dozens of Social Security numbers. But the best way to get the full Orly experience is to see her in action, so just watch this video and despair.
