Shame shame shame on you for putting Bindi Irwin on that list. She is 9 years old for god's sake, you suck!!!

Road Rash - why shouldn't Bindi be on the list? She IS untalented & shameless. And if her mom puts her on TV for the world to see then they both better be ready for the criticism.

WHAT?
I'm sorry, but while questioning Colin Hanks's talent is one thing (although I think he is pretty talented), I don't see how you can call him shameless. He's been pretty good at distancing himself from his dad for the most part. And Kristen Gore was a writer for, as you said, the National Lampoon and the Simpsons, and her books are pretty funny, so I'm not sure where you get the 'untalented' from there. Lumping those two in the same category as Paris Hilton is absolutely undeserved and ridiculous.
Finally, Miley Cyrus talented? I think not.
