If you are very attractive, breaking into the entertainment industry becomes easier. It is after all, all about selling yourself. A lot of the people who get into the entertainment industry do so because they have a true talent, whether in music or acting and they want to share it with the world. The most talented ones usually make it. There is another big draw about making it big in entertainment though, well a few big draws. Fame, money, attention. So this of course brings all kinds of people out of the woodwork trying to make it, and if you aren;t the most talent person and can't necessarily compete based on that merit a lot of people fall back on their attractiveness and milk it for all its worth. And for people that are hot enough, it works. They get the fame and attention they seek out.
All the people in this list have found success, but the question about here talent comes down to this. Could someone else do what they do? Is their person and talent so important to the jobs they do that it would be hard to replace them? The answer is no. They are all super hot, and their role is just that. Being super hot. Does being crazy attractive take talent? It takes some level of dedication and self discipline for sure, but those traits are something you can develop. You can't develop talent, which we are almost positive everyone this list has tried to do.
15 Kate Upton Is Always In A Bikini For A Reason
Kate Upton found fame when she became a Sports Illustrated model. To be a Sports Illustrated model you have to pick very specific old. You have to look good in a bikini basically, which Kate Upton filled out very well. And for awhile, this girl in her bikini were hot commodities in the celebrity world. The attention around her obviously led to her being a couple of movies. For anyone that has seen Kate Upton act, all we have to ask you is would you like to see it again? Sometimes people are just a pretty face and nothing more and it appears this is exactly the case with Kate. Think about it, her modelling has never really even surpassed the level of swimsuit modelling. Brand names want glamour, not T & A.
14 Megan Fox Gets Her Breakout Role After Washing A Car
Megan Fox has a powerful movie arsenal with roles in cinematic classics like Transformers, Jennifer's Body, and This is 40 - the sequal to Knocked Up which never should have happened. And her roles have all been pretty one dimensional, she's the hot girl. In fact, to get the role of Mikaela Banes in Transformers director Michael Bay had her wash his Ferrari at his house. Not exactly the kind of audition that is supposed to show off your acting chops. Megan has since spoken out about that and even had some pretty dry words for Michael Bay but she has also done nothing to ever highlight herself as anything other than an actress who gets roles based on her looks. What does Megan bring to Hollywood that any other surgically altered girl can't? Not much. It's not like she can actually do this.
13 Emily Ratajkowski - Does Anyone Even Know What She Has Acted In?
Emily is a gorgeous girl, and she knows it. So does her agent who has clearly worked tirelessly because she went from being a girl in the Blurred Lines video with Robin Thicke to somehow having 14.5 million followers on Instagram and being a pretty recognizable celeb. And it's not like she was showing off any talent in that video, she was just showing everything else off. And it has obviously worked for her! Emily did not need any talent to break into the industry she just used what her mama gave her. And it only takes a simple Google to get an idea of what is putting Emily in the spotlight. All the headlines are about what she is wearing and photoshoots she has done. It does not seem she is doing anything to showcase anything but her face and body, but we're not going to hate on her for it. Well, maybe a little.
12 The Kardashians - Made Their Bodies And Souls Into A Commodity
The Kardashians have made a family business out of their bodies, and they all deserve to be on this list. You have to a call a spade and spade, and the video that made Kim infamous was very specific in nature. Kim and her mother Kris Jenner capitlizaied on the attention Kim got from this adult tape and they made an empire out of their whole family. And every single one of them is about the 'glam' aka how they look. Every single one is in the business of trying selling an image of physical perfection and their various business reflect that. Also we are pretty sure that the only one that hasn't had any work done is Kendall, which is ironic because she is the Supermodel. The youngest member, Kylie is carrying on the Kardashian / Jenner legacy of using your body for attention in a different way than her supermodel sister Kendall, who at least has some class.
A lot of people claim that Kylie has literally copied older sister Kim K's career path to a T, and it seems to be working for her. (Minus one, big, adult themed tape factor) Kim has 102 million Instagram followers, but Kylie has the second most in the Kardashian / Jenner fam with a close 97.2 million followers. She is coming for Kim's crown fast. Wonder how Kim feels about it?
11 Taylor Lautner, All Braun And No Brain
It's not just women that get attention and find fame because of how they look. Men do it too! Perhaps we don't notice it as much because as a society we place so much emphasis on women and how they look. Guys are out there working their bods and giving face for Hollywood fame too and it works. Just look at Taylor Lautner who has been pigeonholed as the big buff guy since playing a werewolf in Twilight. That role was a great way for Taylor to show off how hot he is, and it worked. His most recent role is in the Ryan Murphy hit show Scream Queens as Dr. Cassidy Cascade whose character is more of a pretty face than an actual Doctor.
10 Blac Chyna Uses Her Assets To Execute The Best Revenge
Birds of a feather flock together. And the whole Blac Chyna / Kardashian saga shows how trash will always find other trash. Is it weird that Rob went for someone that is exactly like his sisters? Blac Chyna became known because she was a very popular exotic dancer and then parlayed that into being a video vixen. You know what you need to be a video vixen? You need to be really hot. You know what you don't need to be? Smart or talented. Not only is she reminiscent of the Kardashian ladies with her whole glam persona and blowing up parts of her body past the point of anything natural, it seems that she actively tries to copy them. And even though one could say Blac Chyna is talented for the way she enacted her revenge against Kylie and really the whole Kardashian / Jenner clan, she's really only trying to sell us one thing.
9 What Made Amber Rose Famous? Not Her Acting, Singing, Or Dancing Talent...
Amber Rose has followed the same path to fame that her good friend Blac Chyna, and frenemy Kim K has. To be more specific, she was a dancer just like Chyna was who then went on to be in music videos. She shares Kanye West in common with Kim Kardashian, as the two were engaged at one point. Well, at least Kanye sticks to at type. The one that takes 3 hours to get ready and that is on a fast day. Amber has been trying really hard to break away from the narrative that she is a gold digger and only has her looks to offer, but she clearly isn't trying hard enough. All we have to ask you is, what do you think of when you think of Amber Rose?
8 Paris Hilton - The Original Kim K
If you ever find yourself looking for someone to blame for the rise of Kim Kardashian and the kind of culture surrounding her and her family look no further than Miss Paris Hilton herself. If you didn't already know, Kim Kardashian used to work for Paris organizing her clothes and styling. Paris basically did Kim a favour by letting her hang out with her and get photographed, and who can forget the photographs from when Kim and Paris were still 'friends.'
There is almost too much glamour, intelligence, and class between the two of them for that one photo to handle. We digress though. If you've been living under a rock and think that Kim was original in how she found fame, you're wrong. Paris did it first with her One Night In Paris tape which just helped her become more infamous. Since then Paris has done nothing to really show us any side of herself other than vapid, vain, and materialistic. Probably because she has nothing else? And we feel confident in saying that Kim is a much better version of whatever it exactly is their both trying to be.
7 At 16 Marries 50-Year-Old Doug Hutchinson
When a 16-year-old Courtney Stodden burst onto the scene looking like a 30-year-old, she had everyones attention. From the way the young girl looked to the fact that she was marrying someone 34 years her senior, people were curious. Unfortunately like other people on this list, it does not seem like Courtney had adults around her that would foster anything within her other than the way she looks. We mean, her mother let her marry a 50-year-old at 16! Have we mentioned that? And it may make him seem less creepy because she did and does look so adult for her age, but at the end of the day regardless of her outward appearance Doug Hutchinson was marrying a child. Courtney is separated from Doug now, but she remains in the public eye thanks to things like her solo adult tape. And reality shows. And the shots she puts on her Instagram.... there is only one thing she serving up in those photos and it's not a delightful conversation!
6 Jenni aka JWOWW Maintains Her Bod To Maintain Her Fame
The Jersey Shore was a catalyst for the reality tv industry like no other back in 2009. Sure, we had Survivor and the Real World but nothing that stooped quite to the levels that The Jersey Shore did. After we were exposed to the likes of Jwoww and Snooky, reality tv has been trashier than ever. We could really pick any cast member from the show and they would fit the bill perfectly for this story, but J Woww really led with her body more so than any other girl on the show so we chose her! Since the show has gone off the air J Woww has proven she can extend her fame but she relies primarily on her selling us her lifestyle and her enhanced looks so to speak. Do we really need tips on how to live from J Woww? Maybe just on how to party but does that really take talent? J Woww showed up to the Jersey Shore scene and she knew what she was selling.
5 Kim Zolciak-Biermann - From Real Housewife To Real Doll
Using a Real Housewife almost seems like cheating, but Kim Z has gotten big enough outside of that world now that she counts. Oh and also for the fact that a lot of Real Housewives have nothing but their looks to offer. Just ask their husbands. Kim was a big personality at the beginning of Real Housewives of Atlanta. But even then, she was coasting on her looks. Which were very different from how she looks today, but hey she still got a sugar daddy to take care of her. This is old Kim btw.
She also fits the qualifications of all bust and no talent perfectly, and just taking a look at her oldest daughter shows that Brielle is learning about that kind of hustle from mother. In fact, Brielle is starting to look like a clone of Kim. Maybe when their 15 minutes of up they will try to go for some kind of 2 for 1 deal? Ugh who are we kidding, as long as people watch reality tv these two will probably have work. People love plastic train wrecks that really do not have any talent.
4 Zac Efron's Acting Roles Speak For Themselves
Okay, how do you discern good looking actors who are also very talented from actors who are just good looking? Well, just look at the roles they play. Looking at stars like Brad Pitt and George Clooney who are considered top male specimens and their roles shows that they have the talent to pull of deep and intense roles. They would not be able to play in the movies they have unless they are very talented. George Clooney is a two Oscar winner and Brad Pitt is a one time Oscar winner. Both have multiple Academy Award nominations under their belt. You know who has not even been nominated for an Oscar? Zac Efron. 'He's so much younger though' you say. Well he is been in the industry for years now and been pretty high profile, but he always sort of plays the same guy. This is not to say that he isn't likeable or not good at the one role he does play in movies. It just says he is a bit of a one trick pony. A really pretty one.
3 When Your Music Career Doesn't Work Out, Use What Your Plastic Surgeon Gave You
Oh Aubrey. One thing that can really extend your 15 minutes of fame is being shameless and Aubrey O'Day is the embodiment of that trait. Yes, she was / is in the music industry but any musical artist that has reality star in their bio is probably no that good of a musical artist. They need to rely on some other stuff to get attention and Aubrey has been working her assets of for years. She started off in Hollywood as being a part of the girl group Danity Kane and it was managed by none other than P. Diddy himself. She was fired from the group in 2008 because of alleged disagreements. While she has had a few musical engagements since then, no one has really paid attention to her for that. She has been on a number of reality shows, and works her Instagram hard with pretty much the only thing she has to offer. We mean....
She is also dating DJ Pauly D from The Jersey Shore. We are just going to leave it at that
2 Farrah Abraham Goes From Teen Mom To Adult Star
Farrah, oh Farrah. What a transition it is to make from being a child on TV having a child to work for Vivid Entertainment. To say that she has done different things with the fame her MTV show garnered her from her cast mates is an understatement. Farrah decided the best way to stay in the public was to be as provocative and controversial as possible. There is no doubt that she is trying to emulate Kim Kardashians career by also having a 'leaked' adult tape. She also has remain very active in the adult entertainment industry in general, which Kim has never actually really done. And if that has not convinced you that Farrah uses her bust rather then her talent, let us point out that Farrah literally sells silicone models of her body for her fans, errr, pleasure. She was recently in the news because she Instagramed herself getting her lady bits rejuvenated at the plastic surgeons office. Is that a person that relies on talent? If we had a word of advice for Farrah when it comes to all the plastic alterations, it's just:
You should not have a whole new face and body by the time you are 25. It seems like this is the reality of the world we are living more and more, thanks to girls like Kylie and Farrah. Maybe if someone had told Farrah she was talented and smart more when she was younger she would not be the way that she is.
1 Last But Not Least, Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson is an OG when it comes to using your bust to get you the jobs you want. And for anyone that has watched her acting, you know that any curvaceous blonde could have filled that role. Pam seems like a nice lady, but a talented one she does not. Baywatch made her famous, and it was those slow motion scenes that had Pam running on the beach that got everyones attention and made them fall in love with the show. Which has been re-enacted countless times by other people including Kate Upton. What do Kate Upton and Pam Anderson have in common? We will give you two big guesses. There is a reason Kate re-nacted that scene so well and again, the key to making that scene successful is not the acting chops these ladies have. It certainly wasn't David Hasselhoff brining in the viewers. We're pretty sure every guy has had a fantasy involve a red bikini thanks to her.
