«MORE THAN ANYTHING PEOPLE JUST WANT STARS»

Britney is still the most talked about celeb, according to USA Today. Personal troubles or no, Britney Spears is still the hottest human being on Planet Earth, according to USA Today's annual Celebrity Heat Index, which measures how much exposure a star gets in print and online. Brit got more media attention than anyone else for 11 weeks this year, meaning she earned the top spot on the index for the second year in a row. That coverage included everything from her infamous breakdown last January to her best-selling album, just released on Dec. 2. It's just another feather in Britney's cap, following her selection by People readers as having the "best comeback" of 2008 as well as being the "most talked about celebrity."
