This should be a fun one and I know it’ll rattle a few feathers. The “cult of celebrity” has as many casualties as any other. Where celebrities used to be unattainable and distant, now all you have to do is log onto their Facebook or Twitter to see what they are up to. I think it’s fair to say the days where you used to need a talent be famous are long gone. Anyone who spends more than 15 minutes on TV gets that in kind, as their minutes of fame. The list below is just a bit of fun, be sure to add your own or comment on whether you think they are “famous for being famous” or not.
In reverse order, the celebrities who are famous for being famous are:
#5 Jesus Luz: Madonna’s prepubescent jump-off.
#4 Jon Gosselin: He could have left his reality show, unscathed. Instead he decided to team up with Michael Lohan and form a team of balding super douches.
#3 OctoMom Nadya Suleman: A woman famous for giving birth; a woman that isn’t Kate Gosselin.
#2 Kim Kardashian: Other than a dull sex tape, she has barely earned her fame.
#1 Paris Hilton: Queen Parasite’s documentary aired on MTV on Tuesday night. It was just like Señorita Crotch Rot; dull, vapid and it made me feel rather ill.

good list…i might replace that guy at #5 with anyone from the Hills, or Kendra, ro someone like that, though
Aaah, the idiots from the Hills. Great additions!
Jesus Luz looks like a Keebler elf.
He’s not that good looking, who knows what she sees in him.
I’d like to add Jordan and Nicole Richie (who parasitized the Parisite’s fame) for dishonorable mentions.
Pretty much anyone on any reality show could go on here. And I’ll at least credit Octospawn with carrying a litter of her brood around to term. That’s more than I can say for anyone else on the list.
Ah, I nearly added Nicole Richie, but she won me over a little being less annoying and media-whoreish now that she is a mother. Some others seemed to turn into horrors as soon as they popped out spawn, Jordan included.
