Gwyneth Paltrow And Jay-Z Backlash Prove It's Who You Know In Hollywood

Gwyneth Paltrow

Recently, Kabbalah actress Gwyneth Paltrow was named People magazine’s most beautiful person of the year and people vociferously criticized the decision. Makes sense, as the week before, she was voted the Most Hated Person In America, beating out Chris Brown and Justin Bieber in the poll. Others attractive stars like Bar Rafaeli, Kate Upton, Halle Berry and Jennifer Lawrence have had a bigger year, yet they were overlooked.

Recently, Kabbalah rapper Jay-Z, was named one of the most influential business people in America, which made many laugh and criticize the decision online. Jay-Z has a string of failed businesses. He also has a number of lawsuits for copyright infringement, financial fraud, unpaid wages and debt. The evidence speaks for itself - a good business person he is not.

Yet, here we have it, Paltrow and Jay-Z, due to who they know in the industry and being apart of a Hollywood cult, were given titles and accolades the public believe are unwarranted, undeserved and unearned. Once again, it’s who you know, not what you know.

Considering her looks are all reality star Kim Kardashian has got, as she has chosen to forgo anything of substance in life, the  news that she took the biggest slide down the Ask Men Most Desirable Woman of 2013 list will come as welcome tidings to her.

Kardashian, 31, took a big slide from number 8 to 98 on Ask Men's list. Jennifer Lawrence, 22, star of the "Hunger Games" film, came in at number one. Number 2 is actress and home wrecker Mila Kunis, 29. Number 3 is model Kate Upton, 22. 

Last years number one, Sofia Vergara, 41, dropped to number 12. First Lady Michelle Obama made her first appearance on the list at number 53. Ironically, Megan Fox, 26, didn't make the cut this year, failing to appear in the top 100, after consistently ranking highly for years.
