This just in: According to an amusing tidbit from the number-crunchers at Forbes (and conveyed to us by the good folks at Gawker), Paris Hilton is the world’s most overexposed celebrity, with a 66 percent Overexposure Index from E-Poll Market Research. While I’m not exactly sure what that means, I’d say the company’s top 10 — Hilton, Britney Spears (62 percent), Anna Nicole Smith (57 percent), Kevin Federline (48 percent), Pam Anderson (48 percent), Lindsay Lohan (47 percent), Tom Cruise (47 percent), Nicole Richie (46 percent), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (45 percent), Michael Jackson (44 percent), Donald Trump (42 percent), and Jessica Simpson (41 percent) — sounds pretty on-point. To help lil’ Jessica slip from that top 10 slot, I’d suggest following my lead and avoiding her new movie, Employee of the Month (pictured) this weekend. If you’re perplexed by what leisure-time activities might help you avoid this ”comedy,” might I suggest the following:
- Tune in to tonight’s season premiere of Battlestar Galactica (SciFi, 9 p.m.) because, I kid you not, it’s the most exciting show on TV. (Well, at least when Idol‘s not in season.) Even if you didn’t heed my advice to get caught up on it last weekend, you still have to watch it.
- On Saturday morning, you’ll want to log on to EW.com’s TV Watch hub to read Marc Bernardin’s Battlestar Galactica recap. Yes, folks, we do listen to your pleas.
- Your Battlestar duties, however, do not free you from an obligation to Tivo/DVR/or tape Anne Heche’s Men In Trees (ABC, 9 p.m.); Celestia needs you, after all.
- Kill a good hour of your time watching this YouTube clip of the tragically underexposed JJ Fad’s ”Supersonic.” And you better listen good to what they have to say, ’cause when it comes to JJ Fad you can’t get no play.
- Just because you’re OD-ing on new fall shows doesn’t mean you should let your DVD player atrophy in the corner. New to the queue this weekend are X-Men: The Last Stand (starring Huge Ackman) and Thank You For Smoking (with a very funny turn by William H. Macy, who publicly spanked overexposed Bobby co-star Lindsay Lohan in a recent interview).
- And finally, chew on this: While EW’s Melissa Rose Bernardo gives Richard Bausch’s 10th novel, Thanksgiving Night, an A-, most Americans are probably more familiar with the oeuvre of Kevin ”48 percent” Federline. Shouldn’t we all try to do something to change that? Just a thought.
Sorry, ain’t happenin. I will gladly avoid this movie, and spread the word around. For some odd reason, people love Jessica Simpson. Not sure if it’s the people with daddy issues who need to feel the extra creepy love that Joe puts out there for us all to absorb. But all the Dane Cook lovers will go see this, and then media will say it was Jessica that had the pull of the audience. YUCK!
Just a question: If by mentioning overexposed celebrities Lindsey Lohan and Jessica Simpson in an article about overexposure, aren’t you feeding the beast? And if I mention Linsey Lohan and Jessica Simpson in a commments section about said overexposed celebrities, aren’t I just as guilty? It’s a never-ending circle. It just keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going ….
Jackman Hugh Jackman please someone that dood looking doesn’t deserve to have their name misspelt shallow i know
Thanks for mentioning Men in Trees. I love this show!
This blog could refrain from mentioning the chosen overexposed and mention the deserving underexposed. Just an idea.
No, people do not love Jessica Simpson. Read any blogs regarding her on any celeb site and you will see what I mean. Also, her album A Public Affair has come and gone, which shows no love. She’s on the tail end of the wave that was started with Newlyweds, and people are finally realizing she has no talent. Employee of the Month will drive home that fact. She and Paris Hilton need to disappear forever before someone explodes!!!
My comment below was an answer to Jen, who commented on Oct.6th.
Who do you think you are telling people not to go watch J.S. movie? People should watch whatever they want and NEVER follow what another person thinks about the movie and/or the actor.
Who do you think you are telling people not to go to the new J.S. movie? anybody with any sense of dignity is clearly not gonna go.
Jessica Simpson’s whole “Aw, I’m so dumb it’s adorable!” act is obnoxious. It’s almost worse than her sister’s “Girls-Should-be-Happy-with-the-Way-They-Look-But-Wait-I-Got-Major-Surgery-and-Now-You-Can’t-Recognize-Me-But-I-Still-Can’t-Sing!” act.
Yeah, I refuse to purchase, watch, or listen to anything involving any of the celebrities on that list. Especially Simpson and Hilton.
…Okay, okay, I have a soft spot for Mean Girls. But that’s because of Tina Fey, not Lohan!
Slezak, how can you possibly call Battlestar Gallactica the most exciting show on TV when ‘The Wire’ (which your colleagues are having orgasms about) is on as well? I haven’t seen BG, and I’m sure it’s really good, but still, come on.
Jessica Simpson isn’t as overexposed as I would like, if you catch my drift.
Tee-hee-hee.
Let’s work harder to get the original Supersonic by JJ Fad out there so the kids don’t think that Fergie’s Fergalicious is an original! How awful a rip!
