Nicole is #5 on Forbes’ “Most Over-Exposed Celebrities” List
Today, Forbes released a list of the 15 “most over-exposed celebrities” and Nicole checked in at number five.
Among others who audiences have tired of: Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and the late-Anna Nicole Smith’s lover Howard K. Stern. And while overexposure may have less to do with the precise number of headlines than it does the public’s perception of the celebrity, the 15 stars on our list have proved that familiarity can, and does, breed contempt.
So who’s to blame? The stars, or the tabloids that cover them?
Blame the celebs, says publicist Stan Rosenfield, whose clients include George Clooney and Robert De Niro. “It’s like the juggler’s lament: The balls go where you throw them,” he says. “If you show up at places that are covered by the media, then they’re going to cover you. And if you don’t [show up], they won’t.”
It comes down to how these celebrities choose to lead their lives, adds In Touch Weekly editor-in-chief Richard Spencer. Risk-free lives don’t sell magazines. “No one wants to read about the cup of tea and the great banana bread [a star] made yesterday,” he says. “What gets exposure? Kissing a guy at 4 in the morning.”
I’m torn. Most of the girls (and guys) on the list who are doing this type of behavior are in their early twenties. And you know what? People in their early twenties screw-up sometimes. And you know what else? They love attention. And who is giving them this attention? hmmmm……
While I do think these celebrities should smarten up, I don’t think they deserve 100% of the blame.
Enough ranting! To check out the entire article, the picture slide show Forbes has put together and what four over-exposed people beat Nicole, click here!
So, who is to blame for Nicole’s super-celeb status?

I love that photo of her! She looks great. If I was a Hollywood star I would probably doing similar things! The pressure and constant stalking of the press makes it hard. No ones perfect right??
