10 People Whose 15 Minutes Are Up

The inevitable flood of "top _ of 2010" lists are popping up everywhere, so we figured we'd add our opinion to the pile. After all, what harm will one more list do? So, here is our list of 10 People who got their 15 minutes of fame in 2010.

The Chilean Miners

Being stuck in a mine somehow makes you a hero.

"The Old Spice Guy"

It was a brilliant marketing vehicle, but we got tired of it pretty quickly.

Snooki

Two words - train wreck.

Steven Slater

His hissy fit on an airliner catapulted this whiner into the spotlight.

Antoine Dodson

It was funny… for a while.

The Vuvuzela

Ok, so it's not a person, but it was pretty darn annoying.

The "Pants on the Ground" guy

I don't watch American Idol so I have no idea who this guy is. Apparently it was a slow news day.

"The rent is too damn high" guy

Jimmy McMillan ran for Governor of New York. He didn't win. He was right, though, the rent IS too damn high.

Oksana Grigorieva

This target of Mel Gibson's rants took to the spotlight like a moth to a flame. Hopefully, Mel will keep his mouth shut and the spotlight will fade.

Anna Chapman

We get it. She's attractive. She's Russian. And she's a "spy". Actually, we wouldn't mind seeing more of Anna Chapman in 2011.
