Okay, I know AIM lists are somewhat irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but I have several comments to make about this list of 100 Celebs under 25 that AIM shoves in my face when I log in. First of all, I don't think I know who 40% of those people are. That makes me feel old, but I also don't know how that happened. I read ONTD pretty obsessively (well not so much lately since it broke live journal...) and I still don't know who a lot of those people are.

As for Gossip Girl stars, Ed Westwick > Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen and Chace Crawford. Why is he so low on the list? I mean if you talk purely star status, I believe the list is about right as it stands, but then why is Daniel Radcliffe lower than Jamie Lynn Spears? Don't tell me she got bonus points for being a pregnant teen. Or actually, why is he lower than Brody Jenner for that matter? Back to Gossip Girl, I guess Blake Lively is the bigger star than Leighton Meester, but I would have had it the other way around on the list.

I was actually surprised that Mandy Moore got #20 on the list. She's actually been slightly irrelevant this last year. Kind of. She did release Wild Hope, but for as good as it was I don't think it was that popular. She's cutting it close, though, so she better enjoy it while she can. Evan Rachel Wood is above Emma Watson? Really? I'm surprised Robert Pattison, given all the OMGTWILIGHT madness that we've had to endure the last year, is only #40. He's actually lower than Heidi Montag. I guess the Twilight spot went to Kristin Stewart, who somehow cracked #10. Also, Heidi > Audrina. Just saying. Fine, I admit that it wasn't surprising that Megan Fox hit the top 10, but I think she's really gross. She's like a trashy version of Angelina Jolie. Like, not even a trashy now Angelina Jolie. A trashy pre-do gooder era Jolie. Keira Knightly is below Ashlee Simpson. Ashlee Simpson is only still relevant because ... I don't know how she's still relevant. I thought her last album tanked. Finally, I have nothing against Hilary Duff, but how did she get #1? The only thing I can think of is that she's been getting press for that NBC show she's set to do. Otherwise...

That's about it. I didn't mean to write this much about that silly list.
