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 celebutante has her worst days behind her, it seems – what was once ubiquitous tabloid fodder has become old news. But her proud history of utter horribleness has earned her a spot on this list, especially because trainwrecks, like pro wrestlers, never really retire. One of two daughters of a multi-millionaire magnate, she made her fame in the early 2000s by – doing nothing. Going to parties and getting her picture taken. And yet, somehow, she worked this into a TV series, a recording label, and some modicum of actual fame. But with fame comes attention – attention to drug use, racist comments, and more. Who's the lady with all the dirt? Find out after the jump.
Paris Hilton is #77 in the Trainwreck 100. The girl that America loved to hate and hated to love, Paris burst onto the national stage with The Simple Life, the FOX reality show which put her and BFF Nicole Ritchie into the heartland of America to see how the other 99.99% lived. The answer: not very well. After several seasons of the horrifically amusing show, a feud with Ritchie brought it to a close, but by then Paris was already a ubiquitous media superstar, making the same idiotic pout face in thousands of paparazzi photos between going to jail for driving with a suspended license and accidentally flashing her cooter a couple dozen times. And, of course, a widely publicized sex tape that had her boning unenthusiastically with Rick Salomon. Here's a video of Paris shilling hillbilly burger chain Carl's Jr for you to suck on.
