Too much press in America?  Take a break and do a Russian magazine!  That's what these celebs have done.  Paris Hilton was named the #1 most Overexposed celebrity in March, according to a poll by E-Poll Market Research that was published in Forbes Magazine.  According to the poll, which asked Americans for rankings of over 3,000 celebrities, 70% of the US population surveyed used "overexposed" to describe Miss Hilton.  Meaning...we've had enough!  So this month, Paris Hilton did the cover of Russia's GQ Magazine and an inside spread.

Following suit is actress Eva Longoria, who did this month's InStyle magazine cover for the Russian edition.  She didn't make the Forbes list for being overexposed, but interest in Tony Parker's leading lady seems to be less than lukewarm in the States these days.

And then there's Kylie Minogue - who released her 10th studio album X in the US last month.  Even though the album was very heavily promoted, including an appearance on ABC's Dancing With The Stars, it was a commercial failure in the US and didn't even make it to the Top 100 on albums charts (it came in at #139).

What else to these three ladies have in common?  They have all made PETA's Worst Dressed List!  Eva Longoria and Kylie Minogue were both on PETA's Worst Dressed of 2008 - Eva was dubbed the "the street walker of Wisteria Lane" by PETA for wearing "trashy furs," and Kylie was called "cold-blooded" for clutching skinned reptiles as accessories.  Paris Hilton topped PETA's Worst Dressed List in 2005, but has since claimed to have ditched her furgly ways.

Maybe the three should get together and do an "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ad a la Eva Mendes.  That would garner some positive press, right?
