I'm afraid I'm gonna have to jump on the Paris Hilton bandwagon here. That is the first person who lept to mind when this was posted.
Then Britney Spears is a close second.
And for me.. Jessica Simpson is third.
Not to be totally female-centric in my answer too, Tom Cruise gets my vote. Sorry, just don't see it, nuh uh.

Simon Cowell.
Odious, noxious, superfluous little man.
His fame is based entirely on sitting ther with his trousers cutting off his brething at the neck, insulting people too damn stupid and pathetic for it to be anything but shameful that a grown man has nothing better to do. His insults ain't even entertaining, funny or witty. My 5 year old niece can make more cutting remarks than he does. (not that she feels the need to make herself look superior to the cretins that audition for shows like that by making fun of them)
And lets face it, has the music he's introduced to the world made it a better place by even one iota?
oh, he also stands as living testament to the shameful fact that some women will 
anything with a bit of money and 'power'.
oh, yeah, and Paris Hilton. Oxygen Thief.

We seem to have a glut of them in the UK: Jordan, Chantelle, Kerry Katona. All talentless, all famous. They're not even good looking.

Got a lot of women on the list - how about Ashton Kutcher. He was kinda funny in That 70's show, but he really needed to have ended there.
Keep on flyin'

HA! yes, I feel the same way about 95% of the craptastic 'artists' they play on the radio. And 80% of the Actors/actresses. Some truely fugly ones that everyone thinks are cute. All with no talent to boot.

It would probably be quicker to list who's popularity doesn't mystify me...
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

Not to make this thread totally negative (I was aiming for slightly funny), I'd like to say the obvious in that most of our pop culture is a celebration of mediocrity. Now, the good news it that sooner or later, people realize said mediocrity and give them their cultural walking papers. Time is normally the best judge of that.
But all I gotta say is this. If this is a society where true talent is rewarded and idolized, then the paparrazzi would have spilt more ink over the nuptuals and new baby of Maggie Gyllenhall and Peter Sarsgaard than fucking Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Over two people who can not only act but act incredibly well. Whose names are synonymous with quality.
