Paris Hilton has been awarded poll position for most overexposed celebrity in a list compiled by a US magazine.

The heiress - who is currently filming her second reality TV show - has  charted in first place as the least likeable famewhore by Forbes magazine.

In second place is this year's comeback queen Britney Spears and in third is Lindsay Lohan - whose love affair with the press continues to grow.

Others who made the list are Lindsay's mum Dina, Pamela Anderson, OJ Simpson, Donald Trump, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Richie and The Hills star Heidi Montag.

So why are we so obsessed with such annoying people?

Lori Levine, chief executive of talent brokering firm Flying Television says, "Is it the paparazzi's fault? They contribute.

"Is it the insatiable appetite of the American public? That contributes.

"Is it the invention and obsession with YouTube? Yes, that contributes too."
