Forbes list of celebrity faces: Britney Spears no longer sells tabloids
Posted by: in Stocks Money NewsFiled under: Magazines
At last! Evidence that it actually is possible to be such a hot mess that no one cares about you anymore! At least, according to Forbes’ new list of the celebrities whose faces sell the most tabloids. Number 1 on the list this year was Jennifer Aniston, the former Friends star, whose also found success on the big-screen.
But Britney. Oh, poor little Britney Spears. According to Forbes:
The biggest disappointment at the newsstand? Yep, it’s Britney Spears. Ironically, she landed 18 single covers during the six-month period, which also makes her the most popular cover-subject choice. With her face on the cover, glossies collectively sold some 600,000 issues below average, placing her last among cover subjects when it comes to sales. Also working against the former pop tart: an abnormally low appeal score of 3. In fact, the only celebrity faring worse was celebutante Paris Hilton, who scored a 2.
Apparently people just take for granted that Britney’s personal life is a train wreck — to say nothing of her career, whose current state was pretty much summed up by her possibly-drunken VMA performance. It’s not even worth following anymore, because every new twist and turn is just unneeded confirmation of something we already know: Britney Spears is messed up.
