Well, according to Forbes , she is. The reality starlet topped the publication’s list of the Most Overexposed Celebrities. The survey, conducted by E-Poll Research for the magazine, ranks celebrities based on “46 different personality attributes based on their polling data of Americans.” What about any ties? According to the site, “ties on this list were broken by E-Scores, which measure a celebrity’s ‘marketing effectiveness’ by combining awareness, appeal and other factors.” For celebrities who didn’t make the list, the average overexposed ranking is 5 percent. Kim has an overexposed rating of 65 percent, and her sisters also made the list: Kourtney at #8 (with a 53 percent rating) and Khloe at #10 (with 51 percent). Lindsay Lohan sits at #2 with an overexposed rating of 64 percent. At #3 is Snooki (64 percent), “Octomom” Nadya Suleman lands at #4 (62 percent), Paris Hilton is #5 (60 percent), Kate Gosselin is #6 (57 percent), Snooki’s “Jersey Shore” pal the Situation landed at #7 (56 percent) and Levi Johnston splits the final two Kardashian sisters at #9, with a 51 percent rating. “A decade ago, being overexposed was the kiss of death,” E-Poll CEO Gerry Philpott said. “But today, it’s necessary to fuel reality TV. If you want to be a serious movie actress, maybe you don’t want high overexposed numbers, but if you’re going to be a successful reality star, you need those numbers.” Who makes your list?

SMH: 75 Year-Old Guerlain Perfume Heir Convicted In France For Making Racist Comments Towards Black People

Guerlain Perfume Heir Convicted For Making Racist Comments A French court convicted longtime perfume maker Jean-Paul Guerlain of making racist insults on national television and fined him Thursday €6,000 ($8,000). The 75-year-old Guerlain, an heir to his family’s cosmetics empire, provoked anger among French minorities with the comments in a 2010 interview on France-2 television. He used a French word for black people in a derogatory way as he described how hard he worked to create one of the company’s most famed perfumes. Several anti-racism groups filed legal complaints, and protests were staged in front of the Guerlain store on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris. Some called for a boycott of Guerlain products. Guerlain apologized to France’s black community during the trial, calling it an “imbecilic” remark. He was convicted in a Paris court. The judge did not sentence him to any prison time, though the charge could have allowed a sentence of up to six months behind bars. “I am from another generation,” he said during the trial, so part of the remark was “a common expression at the time.” He also said he did so during a TV interview because he “wanted to make the journalist laugh and I regret it.” “I was anything but racist,” he said, standing before the court with the help of crutches. Guerlain is the great-great-grandson of the founder of the Guerlain cosmetics company, now owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. LVMH was embarrassed last year when designer John Galliano — who worked for LVMH subsidiary Christian Dior — was convicted of anti-Semitic comments. All he got was a measly $8K fine??? SMH.

He’s a bad mamma jamma … Charles Barkley recently stuffed himself into a dress for an ad for Weight Watchers in which he pledges to do anything necessary to get the attention of men looking to lose weight: Charles Barkley admitted that his weight had gotten out of hand and turned to Weight Watchers to try to lose weight. “I’ve always joked and complained about my home state of Alabama being fat,” Barkley, the studio analyst for Turner Network Television’s NBA coverage, told Page 2 a few months ago. “Well, I forgot that I was fat.” Barkley started the program in the fall and now has lost 42 pounds. Starting in April, Barkley will unveil a new set of TV commercials and here’s a first look at a photo in the ads. In the “Lose Like a Man” campaign, Barkley provides commentary on topics including the “man food” he is never deprived of, reasons why guys don’t diet, dieting on your own and being a role model. “You can’t give fat people small meals and think they’ll stick to the plan,” Barkley said. “I had to learn how to change my eating habits. Let’s be real: You see anyone who gets fat eating fruits and vegetables? So I’m starting to eat more of them now!” Sir Charles, who stars in TNT’s NBA pre-and post-game studio shows, has been appearing in Weight Watchers ads since December as part of the marketer’s outreach to men. Looks like the “The Round Mound of Rebound” has been toning up and losing weight, we see those curves boo! Would you hit this? Source More On Bossip! Watch Your Hands!

“Hunger Games” Actress Who Played Rue Responds To Racist Tweets After Rabid Fans Expose Their Hatred On Twitter

Who knew a fictional character would bring out all the closeted racists ? “The Hunger Games” dominated at the box office, taking $155 million in ticket sales, but not all fans were happy with the book-to-screen translation, voicing racist complaints about the skin color of two of the film’s characters: Amandla Stenberg won our hearts playing youngest and smallest tribute Rue — and the 13-year-old wants so-called “fans” to know that she’s not letting their racist commentary get her down. “As a fan of the books, I feel fortunate to be part of ‘The Hunger Games’ family,” she told Us Weekly in a statement. “It was an amazing experience. I am proud of the film and my performance. I want to thank all of my fans and the entire ‘Hunger Games’ community for their support and loyalty.” Amandla and co-star Dayo Okeniyi, who played District 11′s male tribute, were the targets of disgusting tweets that proved some of the moviegoers to be both racist and sadly lacking in reading comprehension skills. Though the characters of Rue and Thresh were described in Suzanne Collins’ book as having “dark brown skin,” some viewers objected to the film casting black actors and tweeted complaints such as: “Awkward moment when Rue is some black girl and not the innocent blonde girl you picture,” and “Kk call me racist but when i found out rue was black her death wasn’t as sad #ihatemyself.” We saw the movie this weekend and LOVED it — Amandla Stenburg (Rue) and Dayo Okenyiyi (Thresh) were two of our favorite actors and we think it’s a damned shame that haters are gonna hate as usual. It’s good to hear that the young acress can take all the hate in stride, we are proud of you too! Source More On Bossip! Watch Your Hands!

Poor Thang: Chad OchoCinco Redoes His Contract In Order To Keep His Job On The Patriots, Now Making $1M Instead Of $3M

Chad OchoCinco Redoes Deal To Stay With New England Patriots Evelyn might need to get him a full-time gig on Basketball Wives until their spinoff airs: New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco agreed to restructure his contract for the coming season, lowering his base salary to $1 million from the $3 million he had been scheduled to earn, according to a league source. The restructured deal ensures that Ochocinco will be returning to Patriots training camp this summer. The paperwork on the contract is expected to be turned in to the NFL Players Association this week. Ochocinco, 34, struggled in his first season with the Patriots after being acquired in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, catching just 15 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots have added many new faces at the receiver position this offseason too, agreeing to deals with Brandon Lloyd, Donte’ Stallworth and Anthony Gonzalez. Deion Branch agreed to a one-year deal to return and Wes Welker received the team’s franchise tag. Hmmmm…sounds like he’ll be cut when the season is over. Good thing Evelyn makes her own scrilla to support her lavish lifestyle… Source WENN More On Bossip! Watch Your Hands!
