20. Jamie Lynn Spears
OK, yes, we love Jamie Lynn Spears. She's cute, she's classy and she's got all the talent Britney Spears wasted. But let's be honest ... she's still more well-known as Brit's sister than for her own stuff. She's got what it takes, though, so it should just be a matter of time.

19. Sway
When you're best known for being a U.K. hip-hop star, you've got a long road ahead of you, Sway. Not that you don't have talent, but being big in Britain (or even Europe) is like being big in Iowa. Call us when we've heard of you.

18. Lauren Conrad
If only MTV reality series could actually make you famous, about a hundred 'Real World'-ers would be celebrities. Unfortunately, we tend to forget about them as soon as the show's over, so Lauren Conrad, you're going to actually need to do something to be famous.

17. Carrot Top
Buff arms and an ugly face don't make someone famous, Carrot Top. Neither does crappy comedy. You were close with those commercials a few years back, but since we can't even remember what product they were for, that'd be strike three.

16. lonelygirl15
Oh, lonelygirl15, why couldn't you have been real instead of a girl from New Zealand whose name we can't remember? But the fact is, you're a fictional character trying to be famous for real. If that didn't work for 'Daredevil,' it's sure not going to work for someone on YouTube.

15. Omarosa
Seriously, we're still even talking about Omarosa? Why does anyone still care what someone who didn't win on 'The Apprentice' is doing? And wasn't she like the annoying contestant? We've already written too much here. We're just going to stop and try to forget everything.

14. Reichen Lehmkuhl
From 'The Amazing Race' to dating Lance Bass, Reichen Lehmkuhl is about as famous as his name is pronouncable. Lance Bass is barely famous anymore, and reality shows stopped making stars after the second 'Survivor.' (Hey, Elizabeth!)

13. Anna Kournikova
Yes, Anna Kournikova is a great tennis player, and we just can't stop wondering if she and Enrique Iglesias are dating, married or what. Whoops, we just stopped wondering! You're hot as anything, Anna, but that's just not enough to make us care anymore.

12. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Are Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt really engaged, or did they just start the rumor to get their names into the gossip news? The worst part is, we couldn't care any less either way. And Spencer's a real winner, Heidi. Congrats.

11. Nicole Scherzinger
She's the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, but when your group has about a hundred dancers/singers, it's sorta hard to pick one out. A solo career might help Nicole Scherzinger stand out more, but let's be honest ... even outside the Dolls, is she anything unique?

10. Jason Wahler
When the rest of the 'Laguna Beach' cast isn't famous, we're thinking that Jason Wahler is doubly not famous. One season means we can barely remember who he was, and the fact that he dated around makes us think we didn't like him to begin with. See ya!

9. Carmine Gotti Agnello
When a reality show based on your family gets yanked from A&E for low ratings, you should know that being related to a mobster just doesn't have the same pull it used to.

8. Jack Osbourne
Even while 'The Osbournes' were on TV, we really didn't like Jack Osbourne. But now that the show's over, the last member of the family we're willing to let into our pop culture is the most annoying one. And when we're talking about THIS family, that's saying a lot!

7. Janice Dickinson
Janice Dickinson got famous from 'America's Next Top Model,' which is like the highest-rated show ... on UPN (now the CW). Starting her own modeling agency didn't help much. Maybe it'd help if we liked Janice at all, but being cruel to young models isn't as appealing as you'd think.

6. William Hung
'She Bangs.' Next.

5. Haylie Duff
Haylie Duff, you have talent. And you might even be a better singer than your sister, Hilary Duff. But you're still suffering from the famous-sister curse. We look at you and can only think that Hilary got you where you are today ... which isn't that great a place to begin with. Keep trying, Haylie, we're rooting for you.

4. Sanjaya Malakar
Oh, 'American Idol' ... how many crappy contestants have you inflicted on us over the years? Despite the long list, Sanjaya Malakar might honestly be the worst one ever. We can't even say his name without throwing up a little. Let his hair never again enter our minds, even as we (try to) banish him forever.

3. Nicky Hilton
We're not entirely sure if Nicky Hilton even WANTS to be famous, as she seems to be the only one in the family who actually thinks about her actions. Still, she's had her fair share of tabloid fun, not even always involving her sister, so we stuck her on this list just in case.

2. Brooke Hogan
Of all the fathers to use to jumpstart your own career, Hulk Hogan might have been our last choice. Still, Brooke Hogan can sing all right, so at least she's not untalented. She definitely needs a stylist and a manager, but someday she might actually break into ... yeah, sorry, we were trying to be nice, but we just couldn't finish it.

1. Kevin Federline
Oh, Kevin Federline, you desperately wanted to use your marriage to Britney Spears to become someone ... but you were ALWAYS someone, K-Fed. We mean, sketchy backup dancers are people too, you know? If only the impending divorce had separated you from OUR lives too, we think we'd all be much happier.
