great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels
founder Conrad Hilton her teenage
lifestyle made her a dominant subject in
the tabloids and she became a national
sensation when her sex tape released as
one night in Paris was leaked to the
public in 2003 this in turn caused the
popularity of her reality show The
Simple Life to skyrocket and Hilton has
been riding that wave ever since well
basically the producers of the show told

born alive in the United States this was
the photo that started the fascination
with Octomom she told the Daily Mail
online I had to kill Octomom to save my
life no one hates the Octomom more than
me
however the intense media storm
surrounding Suleiman’s pregnancy caused
her to become a national villain
Suleiman’s motherhood began with in
vitro fertilization when she was 21 and
resulted in six children over the course
of five pregnancies when news of the
octuplets got out many people criticized
the unemployed mother of now 14 kids for
taking advantage of public assistance in
2014 she was found guilty of misdemeanor

how did you feel well you can imagine I
my world turned upside down the pair
soon married kick-starting an intense
media firestorm resulting in Hutchison’s
family disowning him and many deeming
him a pedophile what makes the marriage
even more controversial is that students
father is four years younger than his
son-in-law the two rode their infamy
further into the spotlight appearing in
the second season of couples therapy at
the faintest edge of the limelight
number 3 logan paul going down as usual
here on local channels hot both the
channel up logan paul along with his
brother Jake are two of the most
notorious youtubers logan began his
career on vine before transitioning to
youtube where he’s primarily fed off
controversy i’ve made a severe and
continuous lapse in my judgment and I
don’t expect forgiving in November 2017
he released a single titled no
handlebars which was declared sexist and
offensive
however he became villain number one on
December 31st 2017 when he uploaded a
video showing the body of a suicide
victim in Japan’s
Aokigahara forest soon after various
petitions were started calling for
Paul’s removal from YouTube since then
he’s uploaded a video of him poking a
fish out of water and tasering dead rats

a meme to become famous

salamat comes from you know after the
audience laughed at her danielle
famously uttered making her an instant
Internet star she rode this fame into a
music career and has since released

places
number one Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian
is now primarily known for her show
Keeping Up with the Kardashians and her
influential presence on social media but
her rise to fame is somewhat
questionable and undeserving Kardashian
first surfaced when her father was
defending OJ Simpson in his infamous
murder trial we felt like we were really
in the middle of this trial we didn’t
know which parent to side with the trial
was on every single day and I remember
one time going to the courthouse and
Kourtney and I went with my dad and my
mom sitting across with Nicole Brown
family later a close friend and stylist
