It seems men may be a little fed up with Megan Fox. According to Gatecrasher, several men’s websites are calling for a “Megan Fox Media Blackout Day” because the men running or operating the sites feel she’s too overexposed. Gee, I wonder at point they realized that? After her seventh magazine cover, all to promote one movie? To give some acknowledgment to Megan, these guys are giving her credit for increased traffic and for being a huge draw at all times. I’ve noticed that on Celebitchy too – but usually the attention is negative, because Megan has said something dumb in one of the cover interviews. Men don’t notice what Megan says – they’re too busy ogling pictures of her. But that is going to come to end for one day – at least – so that these men can find and over-expose some other young starlet:

It may seem unlikely, but the men of America are sick of Megan Fox.

A dozen male-focused Web sites including AOL’s men’s lifestyle/humor site Asylum.com — as well as Ask Men, Just a Guy Thing and Double Viking — have sanctioned Aug. 4 as a Megan Fox media blackout day.

Why the diss? All the editors feel the starlet has become a bit too overexposed — and they’re not just talking about her fashion sense. Fox has appeared on the covers of Esquire, Empire, Maxim, GQ UK, Entertainment Weekly and Elle this year alone, plus she did heavy press for her role as Mikaela Banes in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

“You can have too much of a good thing,” says AskMen.com’s Editor-in-Chief James Bassil, who tells us, “We’re joining in the media blackout and giving our readers a one-day reprieve from the woman we’ve been drowning in all summer.”

Jokes Doug Sheckler of on205th.com: “She needs to do more to earn our undying praise and affection. For instance, she hasn’t even returned any of my calls this year asking for a date. What’s up with that?”

All kidding aside, most of the men do admit to still lusting after the actress, but are ready for Fox to pass the hot torch on to their other celebrity crushes. “Listen, we love Megan. She’s responsible for driving more eyeballs to our sites — just by getting photographed walking down the street in a white T-shirt — than any other celeb alive,” says Eric Rogell of TheBachelorGuy.com. But while he professes his love for the raven-haired beauty, he says he’s ready for more diverse eye candy.

“It’s time to give another young actress a shot at the attention,” he says. “We’re taking a one-day break from covering Megan’s latest nail polish color and instead promoting another ‘Next Big Thing.’”

So who is Fox’s likely replacement? “My vote is for ["The Unborn" actress] Odette Yustman,” says Rogell. “I call her ‘The Poor Man’s Megan Fox.’”

Personally, I’ve never gotten the general appeal of Megan Fox. Any attractiveness I could give her credit for is ruined when she opens her mouth. But I understand why men (specifically, young men) find her sexy. She always got her mouth open, tongue exposed, staring at the camera with a “f-ck me” look. It just seems… obvious. And like there’s nothing else there. But I guess those boys will have to do without Megan for one whole day. Gasp! What will they do?

It’s a sad day when I’m voluntarily covering the musical abomination known as the Jonas Brothers. But on the off chance that anyone cares about the lives of these bland child stars, here goes. Joe Jonas, who was dating country singer Taylor Swift until he unceremoniously dumped her via a phone call, is now dating actress Camilla Belle, best known for her work in the prehistoric CGI clunker 10,000 B.C. Taylor reportedly took the breakup very hard, and even went so far as to sing about it and refer to Joe as the only person who’s ever hurt her deeply.

Joe Jonas sure doesn’t waste time: The singer, who recently split from Taylor Swift, has moved on and is now dating 10,000 BC actress Camilla Belle, a source tells PEOPLE.

After a rocky end to his relationship with the country darling, which Swift talked and sang about, the middle Jonas brother, 19, quietly began seeing 22-year-old Belle, who starred in the Jonas Brothers video “Lovebug.”

“They met on the set of his music video,” says the source. “All the guys always had thought she was really pretty and that’s why they asked her to be in it.”

So when did the magic happen? “It was only after doing the video that they began to date.”

But don’t expect to see these two on red carpets together anytime soon. “They are not public about it but they’ve just been hanging out with their friends and Joe’s brothers,” explains the source. “They are very private about it.”

So just how did Belle nab herself a Jonas Brother? “She’s a really good girl and it seems they share a lot of the same characteristics and morals,” says the source.

Zzzzzzz. Oops, sorry. I care so little about these people, I actually dozed off reporting this. I can see one characteristic these two share: their love for bushy black eyebrows. Honestly, I’m counting the minutes until these stupid little boys are pushed out of the limelight by another set of teens – hopefully better looking ones, with better music and more talent. And less creepy eyebrows. Is that too much to ask? All that Disney money and no one has introduced these boys to tweezers. I don’t think Taylor Swift should waste too many tears on this kid – she’s actually got some chops and could outlast the whole “teen sensation” thing if she’s smart.

Joe Jonas is pictured at the European premiere of Disney’s “Camp Rock” in September. Camilla Belle is shown at Hollywood Film Festival Awards in October. I’m guessing 10,000 B.C. didn’t win anything. Photo credits: WENN.

File this one under “DUH!” Forbes Magazine has just released its list of the 10 most overexposed celebrities, and not surprisingly, Paris Hilton sits atop that list. Once the tabloid “it” girl, Paris is now regarded as little more than filler when it’s a slow gossip day. She can be counted on for doing or saying something stupid, but other than that, nobody really cares about her anymore. Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are close behind on the list.

According to studies by Encino, Calif.-based E-Poll Market Research, which provides appeal rankings for more than 3,000 celebrities, 70% of the U.S. population would use the term “overexposed” to describe Paris Hilton, up slightly from a year earlier. To put that in perspective, most celebrities average between 3% and 7% on the E-Poll index during the peak of their careers.

Consider pop tart Britney Spears, whose every move from club-hopping to head-shaving has grabbed gobs of tabloid ink. But rather than earn her adoration, the recent media onslaught has resulted in eye rolls. And worse.

According to studies by Encino, Calif.-based E-Poll Market Research, which provides appeal rankings for more than 3,000 celebrities, 72% of the U.S. population would use the term “overexposed” to describe Spears in 2007, as compared to only 54% five years earlier. Worse: During that same period, her “talented” score, the presumed basis for her celebrity, fell from 35% to 25% on the E-Poll index.

[From Forbes.com]

Here’s the top 10:
1) Paris Hilton
2) Britney Spears
3) Lindsay Lohan
4) Pamela Anderson/Nicole Richie (tie)
6) Mary Kate Olsen
7) Kim Kardashian
Tom Cruise/Heidi Montag/Donald Trump (tie)
9) Michael Jackson
10) Spencer Pratt

I’d say this list is pretty accurate- although I would not have included Michael Jackson, and Kim Kardashian should be higher up on the list. I am so sick of her “over the shoulder, show off my butt” pose on every red carpet in L.A. Michael Jackson is beyond overexposed- he’s a has-been. At one time, his scary face was on every tabloid on the world on a daily basis; now, poor Mike probably has to pay someone to take his freaky picture. And while I do concede that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are overexposed (do I really need to provide a link to those Easter photos? Nauseating!), I refuse to believe that they are actual celebrities. Which brings up a new question not covered by Forbes: at what point does a person make the transition from reality show curiosity to bonafide celeb? Maybe that should be the topic of their next poll.

And the TV stunt casting continues! This time, it’s “fierce” designer Christian Siriano, winner of this season’s “Project Runway.” Siriano will make an appearance on ABC’s “Ugly Betty,” during sweeps weeks, of course.

How fierce!

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano will guest star on ABC’s Ugly Betty.

The episode will air during May sweeps week.

According to an ABC statement, Siriano, 22, will cross paths with “Mode’s own hot tranny mess” Alexis Meade (Rebecca Romijn).

Runway judge Nina Garcia will also have a cameo.

Siriano won the Bravo reality show earlier this month.

“This won’t be the last of Christian Siriano,” he vowed at the time. “I mean, people need to see more of the fierceness.”

[From Us Weekly]

Siriano was popular while on “Runway,” winning the coveted “Fan Favorite” award, which was a check for $10,000. Since the show ended, Siriano has been doing the talk show circuit and making several appearances. On March 29, Christian will serve as a red carpet correspondent for Access Hollywood at Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards, hosted by Jack Black.

And on the orange carpet, stars like awards’ host Jack Black will have their fashion looks rated by the young designer. “I think it’s fabulous that I’ll be on the red carpet checking to see if anyone is a hot tranny mess,” Siriano said, borrowing one of his trademark phrases fans heard him saying on “Runway.” “Watch out – you know I’ll be fierce with my comments.”

The 22-year-old “Runway” winner will bring his energy and flair for fashion as he also hands out Access’ “Fierce Fashion Awards” to all those deserving celebrities on the orange carpet.

[From omg! News]

I love Christian, and was happy he won the show. He was clearly a talented designer and a fun personality. However, he needs to be careful not to overexpose himself or his “fierceness” is going to diminish. I’m kind of over the whole “hot tranny mess” catchphrase at this point. But then again, reality stars have a short shelf life, so I guess he’s smart enough to realize that and cash in while he can- the new season of Project Runway has already started filming.

Overexposed Britney Spear’s latest CD is ironically called Blackout and it’s being released on October 30th instead of November 13 because most of it has leaked online already.

Today I was thinking “Holy shit, I am so sick of Britney Spears” after seeing her latest crotch reveal and noticing that she is again dominating the news with trivial details of her life. It’s like she’s completely run out of ideas if all she can come up with is to go out without panties again. She routinely calls the paparazzi and lets them know where she’ll be but then curses them out for getting in her way.

She earned one overnight supervised visit with her boys a week, but she was said to be sarcastic and rude to the judge in her custody case, constantly interrupting him and talking back. She also left dancers set to audition for a role in her second video hanging, refusing to meet with them and canceling auditions at the last minute after an open cast call. And she is said to be preparing for a major tour.

As I was thinking how fed up I am of news of how selfish and narcissistic Britney is in every facet of her life, I read the headline for an article titled “Britney Blackout Hits Internet.” For a moment I had hope that other blogs got the same idea to stop reporting on her.

We are calling for a real Britney Blackout, and will cease reporting on her until the beginning of November, unless a major catastrophe happens. Britney can get a DUI, get in a car accident, go out completely naked without a stitch on and rub herself all over the paparazzi cameras and we will not mention a thing, nor will we pay much attention. Unless there is a major life and death incident involving Britney we will not cover it.

This is a gossip blog and we revel in the superficial things in life, but even we have our limits. We had a two week LohitneyParis ban back in July, and it worked out well. We are now actively ignoring Britney until the beginning of November.

A new article in Vanity Fair features profiles and interviews with some of the guys made famous for dating the tabloid darlings – Paris, Nicole, Britney, Lohan and Mischa. Their small Hollywood circle of debauchery and wasted opportunity is frequently referred to as a high school clique, in which Paris serves as the unofficial head Heather.

Titled “I’m With Her,” the article isn’t about the celebrities’ boyfriends so much as a recap of the shenanigans that we’ve publicly witnessed in the last few event-filled months. Not much was news to me, but it was fun to read a somewhat scholarly take on the fast pace of gossip.

The author, Nancy Jo Sales, details the way that dating a star can skyrocket a guy to fame – with a cost. The guys become known for banging the stars and not for their own maybe-talent. We all know what people said about kept man crap-rapper K-Fed, but he did seem to deserve the jokes at his expense, and he’s recovered nicely now that Britney’s gone down the shitter.

Cisco Adler, Mischa Barton’s goofy looking big-balled ex, is interviewed and comes off as a rather level-headed guy who isn’t too affected by all the talk about him. He says that he didn’t date Mischa because she was famous, and that he was just awed by her beauty. Cisco tells a sweet story about how he used to look at Mischa when she woke up in the morning. He says that his relationship with Mischa was the first time he didn’t cheat on a girlfriend, and that it was all the external factors that go along with fame that broke them up. Cisco also uses the old “they’re young and it’s hard to deal with fame” excuse to explain LohitneyParis’ bad behavior. His ex, Mischa Barton, doesn’t seem to have followed suit, though:

“I’m not some serial star-dater,” he protests. “Mischa’s the most beautiful girl on the planet. Sometimes I would wake up and see her on the pillow next to me and be like, Oooh, there she is …

“It wasn’t us that broke us up, it was all the other shit…”

Cisco says, “Look, they’re young, these girls, and they’re thrown this bucket of shit, and it makes them act kind of weird. If they were all locked in a room together they’d come out the best of friends.”

“Really?” I ask.

“Well maybe,” he says, “if they lived.”

It isn’t easy being a boyfriend of one of these much-sought-after starlets, Cisco says. “There’s no privacy. We were literally running away from paparazzi. They would camp outside my house.” When he’d finally had enough, he ended it, he says. “My dog died of pet-food poisoning, I broke up with my girlfriend, and this picture of my balls turns up on the Internet—that was the cherry on top.” Or maybe cherries.

He wistfully admits he misses Mischa. “I used to be a horrible cheater; in this last relationship I didn’t cheat once, I changed. Sometimes I used to cheat and go back and make love with my girlfriend on the same day! I used to get off on that. I used to think I was so dope.”

[From VanityFair.com]

Other famous boyfriends interviewed include rockers Joel Madden and Pete Wentz, who didn’t acknowledge at the time (the interview was conducted a few months ago) that he was with Ashlee Simpson. He just repeated the claim that he doesn’t think anyone is fully heterosexual or homosexual, and said he was dating a woman and that she was famous.

The interview saves the most famous star-f*$#er for last, K-Fed. At that point he wasn’t the standout parent in his estranged relationship with Britney, and was just emerging as less of a douchebag. They repeat the story where K-Fed was at a party and asked his next baby-momma to step up. There’s not much original printed from his phone interview, just the fact that he asserts he’s a playa:

“My moms used to call me ‘the Womanizer’ when I was younger. That says it all,” an amiable Federline tells me on the phone from his home in L.A. “I love women. I mean, I love women, you know?”

Maybe K-Fed should talk to Pete Wentz, who has a legitimate music career and is not so quick to assert his heterosexuality. Not that there’s any connection between the two, it’s just kind of jr. high when guys talk about how much they like getting laid.

Interestingly enough none of Lohan’s exes are interviewed, although many of her hookups including Pink Taco CEO Harry Morton and British reality star Calum Best are mentioned. Morton enjoyed a lot of free publicity for his food chain from his very public dalliance with Lindsay. He seems to have got the hell out of there in time to keep his sanity too. That seems to be key to dating one of the three disgraces effectively.

Thanks for Vanity Fair for the header photo, taken by Lohan’s ex, director Brett Ratner, in his disco basement.

So Britney Spears ditched her cousin/personal assistant Alli and shacked up with her bodyguard. She is said to binge drinking, eating and shopping. She is also under investigation by California Child Protective services, and they cited her for not putting gates around her pool area. It still not that interesting to me, and I don’t give a crap about Britney. She does pull a lot of dumb stunts though, and it’s hard not to pay attention to her.

Paris was sort-of caught smoking herb this week, she went out wearing a t-shirt with a pop art portrait of herself on it.

Lohan is a bit more interesting as her lesbian affair with DJ Samantha Ronson was exposed through lovey MySpace messages. She also claimed rehab saved her life and bragged about how she’s reading Machiavelli’s The Prince, which surely helps her feel justified for treating people like crap and stealing from her friends.

So who should we cover, if any of them?
