Let’s be real here, people. We as a nation rejected Kate Hudson more than 10 years ago. But she’s so cute and sweet we never wanted to hurt her feelings, so she still gets to go to the Oscars. -

Sorry, Tyga. You had ONE HIT. The only reason people know who you are is because you’re dating a child. As reasons for fame go, it’s not a great one. -

Jessica Biel works a lot, but not in anything that catches on, makes a lot of money, or gets critical acclaim. But, somehow, she’s massively famous. She’s also married to some dude we hear is also in the entertainment industry. -

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gets invited to hugely fancy events, gets photographed and followed by paparazzi all the time, and is featured in magazine after magazine. She has been in two movies, one that came out four years ago (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) and one that isn’t even released yet (Mad Max: Fury Road). But she’s pretty and dates Jason Statham, so what do we know? -

Adrien Brody is a little different. His entire filmography is divided into Oscar-caliber art and stuff you’ve never heard of. And the latter category has been in the lead for a long time. -

Liam Hemsworth is often discussed as though he’s in the same realm of fame as his older brother Chris. This is simply not the case. The Hunger Games trilogy, an Expendables movie, and allegedly cheating on Miley Cyrus do not a star make. -

Blake Lively has had a deceptively lackluster film career despite the industry for some reason trying to make her happen like “fetch.” -

Megan Fox was created in a lab by Michael Bay and can only work for and with him. Sometimes she short-circuits and calls him Hitler or appears in Judd Apatow films, but mostly she is Michael Bay’s puppet.
