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.

This Trainwreck 100 Tuesday's name also begins with T - there's your first clue right there. She made her debut in The Big Lebowski, but it was all downhill from there. Her career has been on a straight downward spiral since the year 2000, which saw her in bomb after bomb. The pressure of being just another Hollywood also-ran drove her to serious alcohol abuse and idiotic plastic surgery, and what was once a bubbly, baby-faced blonde was transformed into a slurring, perma-tanned disaster on wheels. She went to rehab in 2008 and after being released immediately sold her story to the gossip rags for $150,000, but the worst thing she's done is her upcoming collaboration with Ed Hardy doucherag maker Christian Audigier.

Tara ReidComing in at #95, it's Tara Reid. It's hard to believe that Reid was once a promising young actress, starring in some of the top-grossing movies of 1998 and 1999 - Cruel Intentions, American Pie and The Big Lebowski. But things just got worse and worse for her from that point forward - Dr. T And The Women, anybody? Since 2005, every movie she's been in has gone straight to DVD. Her E! television trainwreck Taradise was cancelled after eight episodes, and by 2008 the only income she had was from making personal appearances at crappy New jersey nightclubs (at $1500 a pop). Of course, it's never over in Hollywood, and Reid is making a grab at stardom post-rehab, but I'd bet it's only a matter of time before this trainwreck goes down in flames once more. Below, enjoy the notorious red carpet moment where here tit flapped out to the world.
