10 Celebrities Who Are Famous For No Reason

There are two kinds of celebrities in Hollywood that can be divided into two main categories: those who became famous because they were excellent at what they did and worked extremely hard, and those who became famous for no reason. To clarify, we'll be discussing celebrities who became famous because of sex tapes, because they had wealthy parents, or because they happened to be in the company of other famous people.
These people would do anything to remain famous once they were discovered. It doesn't matter if you hated them or not; they prefer living because of that, and they make money thanks to you. And some are willing to do anything to make you hate them even more. Here are ten celebrities who are famous for no reason! Check out and tell us who interests you the most.

Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo Child, rose to fame as a child beauty pageant participant on the reality series "Toddlers & Tiaras," and later her own spinoff, before becoming the star of the infamous TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." "Honey Boo Boo" follows Alana and her family, who are frequently criticized and parodied as disgusting hicks. Alana received fame simply for being the product of a particularly entertaining family - entertaining in a gross kind of way - when she began her TV career at the age of six.

#2 Amber Rose

Rose has released a few mediocre singles and some fashion accessories over the years, but her fame arises from one thing only: dating rappers. Rose was in a relationship with Kanye West from 2008 to 2010, which resulted in extensive media coverage and her eventual celebrity. After they divorced, she dated and ended up marrying rapper Wiz Khalifa, but they have since divorced as well.

Being the daughter of a Vice Presidential candidate will undoubtedly bring you some attention, but not to the extent that Bristol has received over the years. During the 2008 Presidential Election, it was revealed that Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol was pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 17. As a result, she received extensive media coverage and rose to fame. She has since appeared on "Dancing With the Stars," starred in her own Lifetime reality show, and written a memoir. Palin is currently residing in Alaska after calling off her engagement to her child's father.

Speidi, a celebrity dynamic duo, took the Internet by storm in the mid-2000s when they appeared on "The Hills," a show that chronicled the daily lives of women living in Los Angeles. When Montag's relationship with Pratt caused her friendship with housemate Lauren Conrad to collapse, the two were kicked off the show due to "erratic behavior." They're pretty well-known for inciting high school drama. Heidi's fame grew exponentially, as did other aspects of her, when she underwent ten cosmetic surgeries in one day, and the pair have maintained their public profile by finishing as runners-up on "Celebrity Big Brother."

#6 Kate Gosselin

Gosselin rose to international popularity after starring in "Jon & Kate Plus 8," a reality show that followed the couple as they tried to raise their eight children. That's literally all she's famous for raising a large number of children on TV, and while that does sound like a lot of work, it's not why she's remained famous. The story does not have a happy ending because Jon and Kate divorced, and Kate and her attention-seeking ways have become reality show standards. She appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" and "Celebrity Apprentice," but was heavily criticized and was eliminated from both.

#7 Kim Kardashian

Kardashian's father is a well-known defense lawyer, and her stepfather is an Olympic gold medalist. How did she become famous? Naturally, by starring in a sex video and exploiting her spoiled kid attitude. Kardashian skillfully parlayed that into a starring role on the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," catapulting her to fame. She gained even more attention after divorcing basketball player Kris Humphries after only 72 days of marriage. Her subsequent marriage to Kanye West cemented her status as a celebrity who is famous for no reason.

#8 Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi

Snooki became famous in late 2009 after appearing on the reality show "Jersey Shore," which followed a group of self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes as they partied and generally behaved like idiots. One of them refers to himself as "The Situation." While she has finally settled down with a husband and children, her fame arises from her outrageous party girl lifestyle and her infamous orange skin. She was eventually paid $150,000 per episode of "Jersey Shore," a hard-earned salary for carousing and trash-talking her pals.

#9 Paris Hilton

Paris is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the well-known Hilton Hotels chain, and it could be argued that she essentially got a free ride in life thanks to his hard work and wealth. Following her debut as a model and the star of the sex tape "1 Night in Paris," she appeared with friend Nicole Richie in the condescending reality show "The Simple Life," where they struggled to complete manual labor jobs.  Critics have nicknamed her a celebutante, a wealthy family's child who attracts extraordinary amounts of attention without doing anything to deserve it.
