00:00Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español. I am G, and today we will meet the most popular people who gained fame through extremely questionable or non-traditional media.
00:16She in fifth gear, I'm a ten speed. Not my fault, she text me.
00:33Well, I didn't have anymore glue, so I used this.
00:47My hair, it don't move. You hear what I'm telling you? It don't move.
00:53The video of Brown's TikTok in which he reported his situation went viral almost instantly and accumulated millions of visits in a short time.
01:01Fortunately, the glue could be removed with the help of a plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills.
01:06Then he took advantage of his recent internet fame to launch his own product line for hair care and even released a rap single called My Hair.
01:15My hair, it don't move, it don't move, my hair.
01:18Number 19. Cara Cunningham.
01:21Leave Britney alone.
01:23This clip, one of the first sensations of U2, is a passionate defense of Britney Spears against the media scrutiny she faced during her public crisis.
01:33Uploaded in September 2007, it accumulated more than 2 million views in a single day and generated hundreds of thousands of comments.
01:42You become overnight a celebrity. It's kind of crazy, isn't it?
01:46It's very crazy.
01:47And so easily, Cara Cunningham went from being a normal 19-year-old girl who lived with her grandparents to a recognizable face with a catchy phrase.
01:56She soon appeared on television and radio shows and became the center of the 2012 documentary Meet at the Zoo.
02:03Despite having deactivated her YouTube account, she remains active as an artist.
02:13In 2021, she declared herself transsexual and used part of the money she earned by selling an NFT of her famous video to finance her transition.
02:22Number 18. LaVar Ball.
02:24Despite playing basketball and American football at university, LaVar Ball never played a professional season due to her injuries.
02:33So like many other parents, she decided to live her dreams through her children.
02:43But Ball did not settle for his three children, Lonzo, LiAngelo and Lamelo, to become professional basketball players.
02:52No, he wanted to be the center of attention.
02:55In 2017, he created controversy after claiming that he could have surpassed Michael Jordan in his best times and compare his son Lonzo with NBA champion Stephen Curry.
03:13He gained more notoriety for his online dispute with former President Donald Trump, triggered by LiAngelo's arrest in China for stealing in a store.
03:28Taking advantage of this exposure, Ball launched a sportswear company and created his own basketball tournament.
03:34Number 17. Amber Rose.
03:37She would not be the first person to become famous for no particular reason, but Amber Rose has managed to stay in the center of attention for years.
03:54Rose caught Kanye West's attention for the first time after appearing in the music video for Put On by Young Jeezy.
04:00This led her to get opportunities as a model and a subsequent romantic relationship with West, which catapulted her to the public eye.
04:08After his breakup, he remained the center of attention for his relationship with Wiz Khalifa.
04:17Since then, he has launched his clothing line, has appeared in multiple realities and has presented his own interview program.
04:25But he has not done very well in any of these projects.
04:28Although we do not know very well why he is still popular, he still is.
04:32Number 16. Katy Price.
04:35Today she is a media personality, model and author of bestsellers, but Katy Price's first incursion into the world of fame was as a result of a series of tone-up photos.
04:47I'm so fuming about today's job.
04:49In 1996 she appeared as a topless model on the third page of the Sun tabloid, under the pseudonym The Jordan.
04:57These provocative images gave her an important level of fame, which she took advantage of to dedicate herself to various companies.
05:04No, the thing is, I believe you live each day as if it's your last.
05:07She ran for Parliament in 2001 without success and then competed in the reality show I'm a Celebrity. Get me out of here.
05:15Don't come near me, I stink. I absolutely stink.
05:18With multiple reality shows, bestsellers and her own podcast, Price remains a prominent figure in the public eye, without plans to fade away.
05:28Number 15. Lil Tay.
05:30In 2018, a mysterious girl drew attention on social media for her controversial behavior.
05:36And now we be living in the hills, see that view? Y'all don't have that view. And I be holding your mama's brain.
05:42Known as Lil Tay, she gained fame by making fun of her alleged wealth and luxuries and publishing rap videos with explicit language.
05:50She began to refer to herself as the most presumptuous young woman of the century and moved from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles to take advantage of her new fame.
05:59However, an investigation revealed that much of her apparent luxury was built by her brother and mother, who worked in the real estate sector.
06:08GMA talked to Mom Angie's former boss at a Vancouver real estate firm, who told us Lil Tay filmed using his car and some of his properties for sale.
06:17Shortly after, Tay's Instagram account was closed, but it resurfaced in 2023 with a false announcement of her death.
06:24This deception was followed by the release of Sucker for Rin, the main single from her studio debut album.
06:34Number 14. Lil Pump.
06:36SoundCloud's rap scene gave us several controversial figures, including Lil Pump.
06:46Originally from Miami, Florida, Lil Pump initially gained fame with the release of his successful song Gucci Gang, in which he repeatedly said the phrase about a minimalist sound.
06:58His extravagant personality and extravagant behavior promoted his rise to stardom even more, although public opinions about him were very divided.
07:10While some branded him as an internet product and criticized his glorification of drug use, others seemed to support him for his shameless and disenchanted style.
07:19Despite facing constant criticism, Lil Pump has accumulated millions of followers on social media and collaborated with big names like Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Diplo.
07:34Number 13. Patricia Crenshaw, Tan Mom.
07:38Before May 2012, Patricia Crenshaw was the normal mother of five children in the suburbs of Notley, New Jersey.
07:45But her life took a turn when she was accused of exposing her little daughter to a tanning booth.
07:55Because of this, she was arrested and accused of putting a minor at risk.
07:59She claimed that everything had been a misunderstanding and attributed the burns to her daughter's excessive exposure to the sun.
08:07I never once in my life would let my daughter, especially at that age, go into a tanning booth.
08:14However, this did not prevent the media from becoming obsessed with Patricia's tan skin and constantly ridiculing her.
08:23After the charges against her were dismissed, she accepted her notoriety and became part of the Howard Stern show.
08:30She even tried her luck in pop music.
08:38Number 12. Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson.
08:41Child beauty contests have been arousing controversy for a long time due to the concern for the sexualization and cosetification of the contestants.
08:53That's why when the reality show of TLC, Toddlers and Tiaras, was released in 2009, it had a lot of detractors.
09:00A prominent figure of the show was Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson, whose exaggerated expressions and movements ended up giving rise to her own spin-off.
09:09Set in her hometown of rural Georgia, the show was widely criticized for promoting stereotypes and exploiting Thompson and her family as entertainment.
09:20Despite this, the girl captivated the public and became a phenomenon in pop culture.
09:25Since then, she has appeared in programs such as Dancing with the Stars Jr. and The Masked Singer.
09:37Number 11. Rebecca Black.
09:39In 2011, Rebecca Black became famous for a song that, let's say, was not exactly a masterpiece.
09:45Friday, released when Black was a teenager, became a sensation for the wrong reasons.
09:51Critics made fun of her cheesy lyrics and her out of tune voice tone, and considered it one of the worst songs ever created.
09:59Despite the questionable quality of Friday, or perhaps thanks to it, Black became known.
10:04She was no longer just a girl with a song, but a symbol of the unpredictable and often strange nature of the internet star.
10:11Luckily, it seems to have given a twist to her musical life.
10:14In 2023, Black released her debut album, Let Her Burn, which received much more positive reviews than the original song.
10:22Number 10. Snooki.
10:24The main reason for Snooki's fame was Jersey Shore.
10:32The reality show The Real Things, which premiered in 2019, was one of the biggest hits of the year.
10:39In 2019, the reality show The Real Things was banned from the US for the longest time.
10:43Snooki. The main reason for Snooki's fame was Jersey Shore.
10:50MTV's reality show about party boys in a vacation home.
10:55At first she had big dreams and studied to be a veterinary technician at the public university.
11:00However, she was chosen for Jersey Shore after a casting director saw her,
11:05and life never did the same again.
11:08She quickly became a star, but her popularity increased drastically when Brad Farrell punched her in the face.
11:22After this event, Snooki's appearance fees increased from $2,000 to $10,000 per event.
11:29You could say she became famous simply for getting punched in the face.
11:34Number 9. Bristol Pauline.
11:36You know what they say.
11:38It's not about what you know, but who you know.
11:42This is without a doubt the case of Bristol Pauline.
11:44She is known mainly for two things.
11:46Being the daughter of the governor of Alaska, Sarah Pauline, and for being a teenage mother.
11:51She became an object of national attention when her pregnancy was announced while her mother was a vice presidential candidate.
11:58Then she became an ambassador for prevention of the Candice Foundation,
12:03which aims to prevent teenage pregnancies.
12:13Pauline used this fame in her favor,
12:16since she appeared in several reality shows and published a memoir at the age of 20.
12:22Number 8. Paris Hilton.
12:29Somebody you met in prison?
12:33Being a socialite is nothing new.
12:35Paris Hilton is simply a modern socialite who turned her power into a career.
12:40She was born in a golden cradle,
12:41since she is the great-granddaughter of the founder of the Hilton Hotels, Conrad Hilton.
12:45Her lifestyle during her adolescence made her a constant theme in sensationalist press,
12:51and she became a national sensation when her sexual video was leaked,
12:55published as One Night in Paris in 2003.
12:58This, in turn, caused the popularity of her reality show The Simple Life to skyrocket,
13:04and since then she has taken advantage of that fame.
13:15Number 7. Kevin Federline.
13:18Federline is another of the long list of celebrities by association.
13:21He became an object of national ridicule when he started a relationship with Brett Spears,
13:26since they started dating when his ex-girlfriend was still pregnant with her son,
13:31and the media soon branded Kevin as a fortune hunter and immoral.
13:35The couple broke up after two years of marriage,
13:38and the intense battle for custody of their children, along with the infamous star crisis,
13:43made them both an object of national attention.
13:47At that time it was like a whirlwind, you know, you're thrown into this limelight and you're...
13:52Everything kind of happened.
13:54Since then, Spears has improved a lot, while Federline has done basically nothing.
14:01Number 6. Natalie Sildeman. Octomom.
14:04I acquired the name Octomom after I gave birth to Octoplips.
14:08I never set out to become an Octomom.
14:11Giving birth to Octijizzos is, medically speaking, quite radical.
14:16After all, Sildeman's children are the second couple of Octijizzos born alive in the United States.
14:22This was the photo that started the fascination with Octomom.
14:25She told the Daily Mail Online,
14:27I had to kill Octomom to save my life.
14:30No one hates the Octomom more than me.
14:33However, the intense media storm surrounding Sildeman's pregnancy
14:38made him become a national villain.
14:41His maternity started with in vitro fertilization when he was 21 years old,
14:45and gave birth to 6 children in 5 pregnancies.
14:48When people found out about the Octijizzos,
14:50people criticized the now mother of 14 children for taking advantage of public assistance.
14:55In 2014, she was found guilty of a minor crime of fraud to public assistance
15:00for not declaring about $30,000 in income while receiving $26,000 from the government.
15:07My history was haunting us, because people never knew what I did.
15:12They never knew the true story.
15:13Number 5. Farrah Abraham.
15:16Like Bristol Palin, Farrah Abraham is better known for being a teenage mother,
15:20although without a famous mother.
15:22Even though right now I'm still a size 2,
15:25I won't be for long, because I'm pregnant.
15:29After appearing in the reality show, 16 and Pregnant,
15:33Abraham participated in the spin-off, Teen Mom,
15:36which aired for 4 seasons between 2009 and 2012.
15:40Since then, he has published music, some memoirs, and several sexual videos.
15:45Then he reappeared in the new season of Teen Mom, called Teen Mom OG,
15:50but he was fired after starting a series of adult broadcasts.
16:01Number 4. Kourtney Stoddard.
16:03Kourtney Stoddard, aspiring pop singer and beauty contest participant,
16:08became popular because she went to acting classes taught by Doug Hutchinson,
16:12who was 50 years old at the time.
16:15However, what caught her attention were not her newly perfected interpretive skills,
16:20but her age. 16 years old.
16:31The couple soon got married, which triggered an intense media storm,
16:36which made the Hutchinson family repudiate him and many consider him a pedophile.
16:41What made the marriage even more controversial
16:44is that Stoddard's father is 4 years younger than his ex-boyfriend.
16:48The two continued with their moment of infamy and appeared in the second season of Couples Therapy,
16:53which didn't work out for them, because they're not together anymore.
16:57Number 3. Logan Paul.
16:59It's going down, as usual, here on Logan Paul Vlogs!
17:02The channel's hot, bro, the channel's pop!
17:04Logan Paul, along with his brother Jake, are two of the most famous YouTubers on the platform.
17:10Logan started his career on Vine before moving to YouTube,
17:13where he has mainly fed on controversy.
17:16I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment,
17:21and I don't expect to be forgiven.
17:23In November 2017, he released a single called No Handlebars,
17:27which was declared sexist and offensive.
17:36However, he became the number one villain on December 31, 2017,
17:41when he uploaded a video showing the corpse of a person in the infamous Japanese forest of Aokigahara.
17:48Shortly after, several petitions were initiated asking YouTube to remove him from the platform.
17:53Since then, he uploaded a video in which he pulls a fish out of the water and electrocutes dead rats.
17:59Number 2. Daniel Bergoli.
18:03Sometimes, you just need a meme to become famous.
18:06Daniel Bergoli became a viral sensation after appearing in Dr. Phil for his problematic behavior.
18:18After the audience laughed at her, Daniel replied.
18:24Catch me outside, how about that?
18:26Instantly turning her into an internet star,
18:29he took advantage of this fame to start a musical career,
18:32and since then he has published numerous singles with the artistic name Bad Baby,
18:36after which he has entered the top 100 of the Billboard,
18:40High Bitch, and Gucci Flip Flops list.
18:43They even became a platinum album in the United States.
18:46White Jays, White Porsche, White Wrists, White Horse, High Bitch, High Bitch, High Bitch.
18:53It's incredible what a phrase can do for a person.

19:10Number 1. Kim Kardashian.
19:12Kim Kardashian is now known mainly for her show,
19:16Keeping Up With The Kardashians,
19:17and her influential presence on social media.
19:20But her rise to fame is questionable and undeserved.
19:23She first appeared when her father defended O.J. Simpson in his infamous murder trial.
19:42Later, Paris Hilton's intimate and stylish friend,
19:46Kim, reached infamy in 2007,
19:48when a sexual video of her with rapper Ray J was leaked to the public.
19:53This material made Kardashian a star,
19:55and generated great interest for her reality show.
19:58The program was very successful and she is still famous to this day.
20:02Which of these famous characters do you think is the one that deserved the least recognition?
