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.
Being a female rapper is tough – in the extremely male-dominated field, not only do you have to spit fire, you need a gimmick to stand out. Missy Elliot is a lesbian who wears trashbags. Queen Latifah is a lesbian white people are OK with. But today's trainwreck? Her gimmick is that she's a one-woman hurricane of self-destruction. Starting out by the side of Biggie Smalls, she quickly carved a solo career as one of the raunchiest women to ever pick up a mic. But serving some jail time and having a load of ill-advised plastic surgery (which looks even more horrifying on her TKTK frame) have sidelined her career to the point of nonexistence, kicking her down to the reality TV circuit. Who's the MC W-R-E-C-K? Find out after the cut.
Things have been rough for Lil' Kim.

That smooth move got her a solid year in jail, and when she was in the clink things went from bad to worse for her. Her next album tanked, and she quickly turned to the refuge of the trainwreck: reality TV. Couple that with an intense plastic surgery regimen that has left her looking like a chocolate chipmunk with triple-E hooters and you've got one MC who is out of control. Here's a news clip of her conviction.
