The most exposed celebs of 2008

<img alt="Andreas Rentz/Getty Images" title="Andreas Rentz/Getty Images" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/AYnVKWs9kAtA/photos/3fcf912dedaae9149554061e6d5acc36/mr_ee94f3b0ca59f8.jpg?ug_____Dfy6RFiOx" align="left" height="283" width="400">Tabloids and gossip blogs tend to go through phases of “It” girls and celebrities who hog the spotlight for a period of time before they step back for a little bit. It used to be Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan every day, but even they have ceded the exposure crown to other ladies. <br><br>Comeback queen Britney Spears tops USA Today’s 2008 &quot;Celebrity Heat Index&quot; for the second year in a row. The ranking measures exposure in print and online entertainment news outlets, and apparently people are equally interested in Britney’s successes (winning awards and a Billboard topping album) as her stints in psychiatric wards. <br><br>Angelina Jolie, who gave birth to twin Knox and Vivienne this summer, came in second place, while her partner Brad Pitt came in fourth. Sandwiched between them this year was Brad’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. May we be the first to admit we’re getting sick to death of hearing about this whole love triangle, but in 2008 it seemed there was nearly nothing else to report on! We hope to hear—and write—much, much less about Jen and Brangelina in 2009. <br><br>Also making the list were Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn Spears and Tom Cruise. Parish Hilton was noticeably absent, and we’re not complaining. <br><br>It’s fascinating how some A-list stars manage to avoid the tabloids and paparazzi, and it’s usually no accident. We love stars who allow their body of word to speak for itself. Some celebs like Madonna seem to just spark rumors at their every turn. Others provide intimate accounts of their sex life for press and we’re totally turned off by them (that means you, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson)!<br><br>Who do you think is currently the most exposed celebrity and who are you the most tired of hearing about?

    I totally agree with the Jen Aniston comment! She needs to get over Brad and stop complaining so much about how Angelina stole him! Yes, it was a horrible thing to do, but 1) It happens all the time--why should we treat this situation any different? and 2) We've been listening to her bitching ALL year. She has John Mayer now, so what's the need for complaining about Brangelina?

    Jennifer didn't even talk about Brad until this year when she was ASKED about during interviews. Since her initial break up she didn't talk about those two. Come think before you write.

    to be fair...it was just this year that Angelina deceided to tell the press she is excited for her kids to see the movie mommie and daddy fell in love in...well he was married to jen then and they (brad and angie) always lied and said it was later that they started dating...might have opened some old wounds and pissed her off...I would hate angelina too if i was jen...very rude for her to say that...the truth about that should have been kept private...

    What I am sick of is the made up stories, the negative, and rumors about all celebrities. Sick of the twisted and made something of nothing, or made nothing into something it isn't, stories!! Give all of them a break, after all they are all human too, and just trying to do what they do in show business.

    People need to leave Tom Cruise Alone.. He does allot of good and he helps people and I notice that people do not care they will rip him apart. He is not gay, he is not a sinner, What he is, is a Good Man.

    As for Britney, she is a young girl who learnt the hard way, but she learnt and she will be ok.

    Something is really going on with Madonna, I saw her arms and OMG, I got scared.. I love her, but I got scared.
