The 16 celebrities on this list may be some of the most famous personalities in the world but have you ever really stopped to wonder why? Are these celebs really more talented, better looking and more fabulous than their contemporaries? Though you may not agree with all the names on this list, what can be agreed upon is that these A-listers are often overhyped, overexposed and have had more than their share of time in the spotlight.

16. Kim Kardashian

Claim To Fame: A very profitable sex tape….you'd forgotten, hadn't you?

Why She's Overrated: Though she's dabbled in acting (see above), singing (cover your ears) and modelling (risqué Instagram booty shots) we're not really sure how to classify Kardashian's very unique version of fame

15. Vin Diesel 

Claim To Fame: The Fast & The Furious films

Why He's Overrated: Despite being hailed  a 'big, ugly hunk of a man with dubious acting skills and the growling Brooklyn accent of a mechanic' Diesel remains an in-demand actor with an estimated $60 million dollar net worth.

14. Kate Upton

Claim To Fame: Appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2012 Swimsuit issue/doing x-rated dance 'The Dougie' to the song Cat Daddy (which received close to 20 million hits on YouTube)

Why She's Overrated: If the video of the x-rated (some might argue pornographic) dance didn't surface on Youtube, Upton would just be another big-breasted swimsuit model.

13. Tom Cruise

Claim To Fame: 80s movies including Risky Business, Cocktail and Top Gun

Why He's Overrated: Once Hollywood's top leading man, today Cruise is no more than a pale comparison of his former self. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he was hiding a few things including his religion (Scientology) and his real height.

12. Victoria Beckham

Claim To Fame: As 'Posh Spice" in now defunct 'girl power' group, Spice Girls

Why She's Overrated: Since she can't really sing or act and she's clearly the 'homely' one (between her and husband David Beckham) she does what every other woman who's short on talent with millions does, she plays with fashion!

11. Justin Bieber 

Claim To Fame: Baby-faced pop star who's gaggle of 'Beliebers' keep him on the charts

Why He's Overrated: Bieber's 20. He looks 12. How can a girl older than the age of 10 find him attractive? Even former girlfriend Selena Gomez (just two years older) could pass for the Bieb's older aunt.

10. Taylor Swift

Claim To Fame: Chart topping pop-meets-country ditties including You Belong With Me and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

Why She's Overrated: Let's face it. If Taylor Swift was really as gorgeous as everyone claims, would she really have been dumped so many times?

9. Tom Hiddleston

Claim To Fame: Playing Loki in 2011s Thor

Why He's Overrated:  They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but Tom Hiddleston, handsome? Really? Take away the fame and the money and this dude would look like any other average guy. You're lying if you say you would even look twice at him.

8. Katy Perry

Claim To Fame: She 'kissed a girl and she liked it.' A lot.

Why She's Overrated: No woman can honestly say she looks hotter without at least a little makeup. But have you seen a barefaced Katy? Apparently her ex, Russell Brand thought it would be amusing to tweet the pic while they were still married. I would have divorced him after that too.

7. Jessica Biel

Claim To Fame: Marrying Justin Timberlake in 2012

Why She's Overrated: No one thinks Jessica Biel is as good looking as….Jessica Biel!  "It really is a problem," she admits in an interview with Allure magazine. "I have to be blunt."

6. Amy Adams 

Claim To Fame: Disney flick, Enchanted

Why She's Overrated: Yes, she's starred in some really fantastic movies and even won an award or two, but whether you're referring to her acting (one-dimensional) or her looks (yawn) the lady is way overrated.

5. Nicole Kidman 

Claim To Fame: Being Mrs. Tom Cruise for 11 years

Why She's Overrated: Well past 'prime' acting age for Hollywood, Kidman still manages to nab the most coveted roles despite being dubbed 'the frozen face of Hollywood.'

4. Ryan Gosling

Claim To Fame: Playing Noah in the 2004 tearjerker, The Notebook

Why He's Overrated:  The only reason he even got the lead actor part in The Notebook was because he was ugly. Seriously. " Gosling told Company magazine. "When I got there, he (the director) was standing in his back yard, and he looked at me and said, 'I want you to play this role because you're not like the other young actors out there in Hollywood. You're not handsome, you're not cool, you're just a regular guy who looks a bit nuts.'"

3. Gwyneth Paltrow

Claim To Fame: Born to Hollywood Royalty - father a legendary director, mother an acclaimed actress

Why She's Overrated: In 2013, a 40-year-old Paltrow was named People magazine's 'Most Beautiful' beating out a barrage of much more deserving beauties. The backlash was most intense on Twitter: 'I saw three women more beautiful than Gwyneth Paltrow in the Taco Shack this morning' : and 'People magazine named Gwyneth Paltrow the most beautiful woman in the world & it's clearly not an April Fool's joke, so I need answers.'

2. Anne Hathaway

Claim To Fame: Playing reluctant royal Mia Thermapolis in the 2001 Disney flick, The Princess Diaries

Why She's Overrated:  Back in 2007, she made People magazine's 'Most Beautiful' but today, thousands of 'Hathahaters' would disagree. There's even a website devoted to her appearance: annehathawayisugly.com. Highlights include the gallery: 'Is that even a woman?'

1. Robert Pattinson

Claim To Fame: Playing vampire, Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga

Why He's Overrated: It's been two years since Pattinson packed up the fangs and said goodbye to the ashen skin and he still looks like he'd be way more comfortable hunting for deer in some dark forest.
