Paris Beats out Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears in popularity

Paris Hilton has topped a new list of the ‘Most Overexposed Celebrity in America.’

According to a survey by Los Angeles-based E-Poll Market Research, the hotel heiress has beaten Britney Spears and party girl Lindsay Lohan to the top of the list.

The survey, reported by Forbes magazine, noticed that the media exposure keeps such stars among the ranks of top celebrities even when their movie, TV, or recording work is unnoticeable.

Forbes has given the example of Pamela Anderson, who has landed the fourth spot in the list.

"Without the acting career she hoped would take off. It`s her tabloid presence care of multiple marriages (and divorces) and provocative ways that continues to open doors for her celebrity," Contactmusic quoted Forbes, as stating.

Harvard Lampoon takes another shot at Paris

PARIS HILTON has been on virtually every other magazine cover, so why not National Geographic?
After all, as we mentioned last week, she did discover the nation of West Africa.

Psych!

It's the Harvard Lampoon's April Fool's spoof of the venerable nature mag, which hit stands yesterday.

The folks at the Lampoon even persuaded NG employees to help with the parody, which includes a satire on Mongolia's wildest waterparks and "Native Girls Gone Wild."

"My guess was they were just extremely bored and they were tired of working with animals and scientists and wanted to hang out with college students," said Hayes Davenport (now there's a Harvard name), who edited the magazine with fellow senior Ross Arbes.

Davenport said that other publications have helped with their parodies in the past, such as when USA Today printed the Lampoon's version on its press in 1989. National Geographic not only helped print the parody and distribute it, Arbes said, but also a designer helped lay out the mag to make it look as much like the original as possible.

"They provided things that were really valuable to us," Arbes said.

In one jab at National Geographic's staid image, the Lampoon created three new editions to help keep the magazine relevant for younger generations, and features Hilton in a "Your Wildest Animal Fantasies" story.

Of course, the Lampoon's version offers a send-up to anthropological nudity. A photo of a lion is actually made up of dozens of images of women's bare chests.
