Justin Bieber tops Forbes' ‘Most Overexposed Celebrities’ list

Justin Bieber is in the news again, this time for topping the Forbes' list of "Most Overexposed Celebrities."

Forbes employed its E-Poll Research team to rank more than 600 celebrities based on 46 characteristics collected through public opinion polling.

Bieber also ranked ninth on Forbes' "Celebrity 100" list, second in Twitter's "Most Popular Celebrity" with more than 50 million followers, and is estimated to have earned $58 million over 12 months up to last June.

Forbes found that 67 percent of people believe that Bieber is overexposed online as well as in news coverage. These people attribute his overexposure to his recent arrests and wild adventures during his world tour over the last 12 months. His relationship with Selena Gomez and trouble with neighbors in the posh Calabasas community don't help either.

Television personality Kim Kardashian secured 61 percent of votes, with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe and mother Kris Jenner also making the list.

"Mean Girls" famed actress Lindsay Lohan was third with a 59 percent score for overexposure, followed by Miley Cyrus with 57 percent polling.

"When we began tracking attributes in 2001, being 'overexposed' was the kiss of death for any celebrity," Garry Philpott, E-Poll Market Research president, said. "In today's reality show world, however, it's a badge of honor as it fuels the fire that keeps programs going from season to season."

The top 10 "Most Overexposed Celebrities" on the Forbes list are as follows:

1. Justin Bieber - 67%

2. Kim Kardashian - 61%

3. Lindsay Lohan - 59%

4. Miley Cyrus - 57%

5. Honey Boo Boo - 56%
