- draci, on 04/13/2008, -4/+2I totally agree. What they call celebrities nowadays are people I wouldn´t want to associate with if you paid me.
- mooseontheloose, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1When will diggers realize that your salary depends on how much you are worth to the guy who writes your checks, not whatever ***** and arbitrary metric they use to decide what people are worth (that, coincidentally, ranks anyone who makes anything more than them as "unworthy").
Seriously, this list is basically just a summary of everyone in that magazine edition who made over a million bucks (save a handful of people).

- castevens, on 04/13/2008, -7/+2Miley Cyrus is pretty, but she's very developed for a 15 year old. That doesn't mean she'll be fat, but it'll probably mean that she will end up having a larger frame than most female celebrities would like. I predict she will have some weight issues (not that she'll be overweight, but she might try some extreme measures to cut weight in, say, 5 years).
- DeskFlyer, on 04/13/2008, -4/+3The better looking they are young, the worse they get later on.
- felman87, on 04/14/2008, -4/+5pedo alert
- Tylia, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1no she is not, she's pretty average for her age group.
- sumrgurl, on 04/13/2008, -1/+3Dr. Phil should totally mind his own business!
- aaaleman, on 04/13/2008, -10/+8Jessica Alba deserves every single cent she's making.
- rootfiend, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2I'd even let her put in a little overtime.
- CrackpotPress, on 04/13/2008, -8/+3Hmmm Mr. Cuban has mysteriously left off ALL NBA celebs... conflict of interest?
Also the most overpaid crybaby Mr. May A-Rod
Don't blame the celebs.. we're the idiots that fund those celebs... without our own spotty judgment they would be nothing. People love Foxworthy he speaks monosylablically (is that word?)
Just like our jackass president.... $400 k a year! Ya gotta be kidding me... guy doesn't even turn a profit for us.- AZtoJapan, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5When did Mark Cuban change his name to Brian?
- EatingPie, on 04/13/2008, -5/+3I actually disagree with the Miley Cyrus listing. And her show on Disney Channel doesn't call for any serious acting, but she's fine in the role. And she actually is a good singer, though her songs are certainly all pop. Her concert tour was a major hit, and from everything I can tell, she actually DID sing on stage. She's making a lot of money, but she's definitely talented and has earned it.
My concern is, of course, that she'll end up like Brittany Spears, or some of the other Disney almuni. With so much money and SO MUCH popularity, it's definitely difficult to stay grounded. I pray that she can do it.
-Pie- Johnny1337h4x0r, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1have to disagree about the talent thing. I've seen bits and pieces of the show (have a little sister) and there were several times she attempts at singing while not being on stage, no talent there. I'm not even gonna go into the excuse for a "comedy" this show is. As some other Digger has said before me "not funny enough? MORE LAUGH TRACK!"
- MewTwo, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1It's more annoying when, you know, angelina jolie gets a 50 million dollar paycheck for a mediocre role in some movie. It's ***** insane, it makes a mockery of us, instead of it being attributed to, "oh it's cause a million little girls love her"
I watched Miley Cyrus for the first time on Jay Leno finally, she sang better than I thought and she's reallllllly into it on stage, so I understood a little bit. - Duggan360, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3That Hannah montana crap is just for sales, Disney think like this 'Why make a good tv show when we can make the same old thing!? What about a show about a singer? then we could make even more money by selling cd's of the music that is in her shows! then live shows of her singing!' Disney's just turned into a money hungry ***** fest
- EatingPie, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1Oh, no doubt she's a marketed commodity via the Disney Empire. I was not denying that one bit. And that leaves a VERY bad taste in my mouth.
But they got lucky on this one. Miley Cyrus is actually talented. She writes some of her own songs, and she can perform -- see note on Jay Leno appearance. As I said, she sings on stage. Even Janet Jackson doesn't do that (yes, I've seen her live). I haven't seen Britney Spears (and never will) but I doubt she sings a single real life note on stage either.
Because I have children I've been immersed in the Miley Cyrus/Hanah Montana phenomenom, and I'm very tired of it. But I call it like I see it. As sick of it as I am of her music/show, she *is* talented, and as tempting as it is to label her as "untalented" simply because she's a marketed commodity, in this case that's unfair.

- TomK88, on 04/14/2008, -7/+150 Cent is one of the best entrepreneurs to come out of rap in years. His music has shifted into the pop-rap genre now, but his early rap was decent. I don't think anybody that came from nothing and created an empire like 50 Cent has can be called overrated. Plus, he's actually a legitimately intelligent person and business man. Don't believe the hype that MTV sells you, most of these big-name rappers are very shrewd businessmen.

- zizzy, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3It's easy to make a list of over paid and overrated celebrities. What would be much better is a list of those that actually DESERVE it.
- MewTwo, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2I don't think any entertainer really deserves THAT much money. Except Larry David.
- paperclipsNsoup, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Well David Hasselhoff deserves it, and if you don't pay, he'll make you pay
- DeviantDragon, on 04/14/2008, -3/+2As if the guy seriously hasn't heard of 50 Cent? You can criticize 50 Cent all you want but if you haven't heard of any of his songs, missed out on any promotion of his movie or video game that's just nigh impossible with the amount of advertising bombarding us daily. Clearly this guy must live in the middle of nowhere with an internet connection that only allows him to visit his blog.
- DeviantDragon, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1And to clarify, another issue I have is that they guy presumes that rappers are on face undeserving. Now certainly 50 Cent is not the most talented or deserving rapper but if this guy's never even known his work then he shouldn't be presumptively judging.

he makes good club songs, and he has some old albums that are actually pretty good

- thrikulam, on 04/14/2008, -1/+1The annual Parade Magazine “What People Earn” issue is out today. After perusing the list, I decided to cast my own votes for the top ten overrated and overpaid celebs on the Parade List. The people here are only the ones listed on the Parade Magazine list. (other than ashley dupre)
10. Miley Cyrus at 18.2 Million. What can I say. I am not 15 and don’t have any kids…. After seeing the recent photo of her in her “show it all” spandex outfit, I will be voting her as the most likely to either be in rehab or swinging from a pole by age 21.
9. 50 Cent at 33 Million.(rapper) He is apparently some rapper guy. Rapping in my book ended with Run DMC Regardless, anyone making millions talking fast to music is overrated….
8. Jeff Foxworthy (comedian) 10 million. I saw this guy last year at a charity benefit. You’re a red neck. We get it. Get over it…..
7. Mary Kate Olsen(actress-entrepreneur) 17 million. I always confuse her with Hillary Duff. When you are interchangeable you are overrated….
6. Jessica Alba (actress) 10 million, Everyone agrees you are hot…. and what else……..?
5. Chelsea Lynn, (Television reporter-Alaska) 28,900 With a name like that she would do a lot better making porn.
4. Any actor or actress on Desperate Housewives……
3. Ashley Alexandra Dupree , amounts unknown, the call girl extraordinaire of Eliot Spitzer fame will cash in somehow although her prospects are dwindling by the day….. She should have taken the million from Girls Gone Wild while she could. Unfortunately for her there is now nothing left to the imagination. When guys have seen it before they pay for it, the fantasy bubble is busted and you are condemned to the ranks of the overrated…. The hottest most highly rated women always have their clothes on…….
2. Trouble ( Leona Helmsleys dog), 12 million. Trouble the dog beats out Dr. Phil because unlike Dr. Phil at least there is documented theraputic value to holding her and you will probably see it coming if you are going to get bitten….
DRUM ROLL PLEASE…. The NO 1 MOST OVERRATED AND OVERPAID CELEBRITY ON THE PARADE LIST IS……
DR. PHIL MCGRAW!
90 million
Dr. Phil is not only the most over-rated and overpaid talk show host(and thats all he is) in America. He is the most dangerous. He uses a facade of credibility he does not have to meddle in the lives of people already in a fragile state. He is not the first talk show host to do this but he is the most agressive about it. Everyone is familiar with his unwanted intrustion into the fragile life of Britney Spears. Most recently his show paid the bail for one of the girls charged with the now infamous” Youtube beating in an attempt to get her on the show. Who the hell does he think he is playing a life or death game with these young people. A degree on the wall does not qualify him to meddle and anyone who thinks his agenda is to help is delusional in the extreme….
Dr Phil beats out Paris Hilton here hands down. At least she is harmless……. - logicalnoise, on 04/14/2008, -0/+12 things the olsen twins did effectively make a small corporate behemoth marketing their cuteness. but yeah now they are kind fo skanks. Also Nathan fillion was on desperate housewives and he is neither overrated or overpaid.
