Does it feel like Kim Kardashian is everywhere? Well, according to Forbes, she is. The reality starlet topped the publication's list of the Most Overexposed Celebrities.

The survey, conducted by E-Poll Research for the magazine, ranks celebrities based on "46 different personality attributes based on their polling data of Americans." What about any ties? According to the site, "ties on this list were broken by E-Scores, which measure a celebrity's 'marketing effectiveness' by combining awareness, appeal and other factors." For celebrities who didn't make the list, the average overexposed ranking is 5 percent.

Kim has an overexposed rating of 65 percent, and her sisters also made the list: Kourtney at #8 (with a 53 percent rating) and Khloe at #10 (with 51 percent).

Lindsay Lohan sits at #2 with an overexposed rating of 64 percent. At #3 is Snooki (64 percent), "Octomom" Nadya Suleman lands at #4 (62 percent), Paris Hilton is #5 (60 percent), Kate Gosselin is #6 (57 percent), Snooki's "Jersey Shore" pal the Situation landed at #7 (56 percent) and Levi Johnston splits the final two Kardashian sisters at #9, with a 51 percent rating.

"A decade ago, being overexposed was the kiss of death," E-Poll CEO Gerry Philpott told Forbes. "But today, it's necessary to fuel reality TV. If you want to be a serious movie actress, maybe you don't want high overexposed numbers, but if you're going to be a successful reality star, you need those numbers."
