The research firm takes stock of which celebrities are grating on the public – celebrities termed “overexposed” are often too much in the public eye, which can breed contempt. The average “appeal” ranking for the term “overexposed” for celebrities at the peak of their careers is from 3-7% of those polled (of the 46 “appeal” terms available). For some perspective, 65% of the US population polled found that both Britney Spears & Paris Hilton were overexposed. That’s quite a high figure!

There are celebrities who live very quiet lives, outside the paparazzi and tabloids. It’s not easy to do, but it’s do-able. Particularly with younger celebrities, however, the paparazzi seem to be part of the recipe of early success. But they are hard to shake – and as much as they can sell success, they can also be a recipe for disaster (perhaps?). This is an interesting idea to discuss – what do you think?!

If you’re not tired of Lindsay (and I know you’re not!), then you can tune in to her movie Chapter 27 when it airs tonight on tv!! Listing information can be found here.
