Hollywood is constantly trying to get the world excited about the next generation of celebrities and the newest batch of "it" people to watch. While the fascination used to be focused on Julia Roberts being America's sweetheart and Brad Pitt being considered one of the hottest leading men in Hollywood, time has marched on and a brand new generation of celebrities have started to make their way into Hollywood. The media is constantly trying to drum up the latest news about the celebrities that have started to garner all the attention of the public, whether it's through the tabloid spreads featuring photos of them in their personal lives or the reality shows that put all the focus on their daily activities.

It can be easy for people to get all wrapped up in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood when it comes to celebrity news. It seems like award-show season is constantly making its rounds and the public loves to speculate on who wore the best gown or what designers are being showcased on the red carpet. These are the types of things that Hollywood loves to focus on in finding out who to promote and who will become the next big craze in the world of the rich and famous. Yet, not everyone agrees with all the hype regarding some of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood. Check out our list of the 15 celebrities that Hollywood loves but are totally overrated and see if you agree with these picks.

Emma Roberts Is No Julia

When Emma Roberts first emerged into the public eye, people were absolutely enthralled with the idea of a celebrity kid making their way into Hollywood. As the daughter of Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts, expectations were high. People kept making comments that the talent gene must run in her family and that she was "born for stardom." Yet, the buzz started taking a turn when there were reports of her diva-like behavior on the set of American Horror Story. Things got even worse during her tumultuous relationship with her costar, Evan Peters. In 2013, Roberts was arrested on a domestic violence charge and photographs of her during the release were plastered all over the tabloids.

If she wasn't a celebrity kid and if she weren't a woman, the fallout would have been far worse.

A young male star from an unknown family would have been ousted from Hollywood and never heard from again but Emma Roberts seems to be continuing on unscathed in her acting pursuits.

Solange Knowles Will Never Be Her Sister

When Beyoncé was introduced to the world as one of the members of the girl group, Destiny's Child, it was instantly apparent that she was the leader of the group. People weren't at all surprised when she branched out to start a solo career but they did seem a bit surprised when her younger sister started to emerge from the shadows.

Solange Knowles started making appearances on the red carpet and the media coined her a "style icon" as well as a huge talent as an underground artist.

Yet, the general public has had some difficulty deciphering what it is she's really talented for, especially since most people would be hard-pressed to name one of Solange Knowles' songs. It's not as if they're being played on the radio and her fashion choices aren't exactly the style that regular people would want to emulate.

Rita Ora Upset A Kardashian

When Americans first started hearing about Rita Ora, she had already started to make a name for herself in the UK. With a burgeoning music career and acting as a television personality, she was trying to crossover to an American audience. Yet, there was still quite some time where American audiences still had no idea what she was famous for and why she was even in the celebrity world. However, she did start getting her name out into the headlines in America but it wasn't exactly in the best light.

She started dating Rob Kardashian and their tumultuous breakup made headlines for all of the comments Rob made about her on social media.

He claimed she was "with nearly 20 dudes while [they] were together." She made headlines again when people accused her of being "Becky with the good hair" and then again when she got a little too cozy with Conor McGregor.

Amber Rose Made The Right Connections

When Amber Rose first appeared on the arm of Kanye West, people were intrigued by who this mystery woman was and where she came from. She had an absolutely unique look that forced people to sit up and take notice but deeper inspection revealed that she wasn't much different than the millions of other wanna-be fame seekers found all over the Internet. Amber Rose was a former stripper that has never been ashamed of her dancing past and was quick to start giving interviews once her relationship with Kanye West ended. Their relationship didn't last long and there were many that hoped that she would fade into the background. Yet, she did what anyone in her position would do and that was find herself another rapper. She started a relationship with Wiz Khalifa and the two had a child together. When their relationship ended, people thought that it would surely be the end to the Amber Rose fascination, but they didn't count on the fact that she started making as many friends as possible in Hollywood. Nowadays, there aren't many red carpet events that she'll miss and she's constantly being photographed at various shows with all of her new celebrity friends.

Blac Chyna Got With The Kardashians

The fascination over Blac Chyna first began when she started becoming close to the Kardashian clan. Kim once posted a photo of herself with Blac Chyna to her social media, showing off their derrieres while working out at the gym. Yet, things got a little complicated when Tyga (the father of Blac Chyna's child) began dating Kylie Jenner and then Blac Chyna started dating Rob Kardashian.

This helped her earn her a role in a spin-off reality series chronicling her pregnancy and their tumultuous relationship.

While the relationship between her and Rob didn't last, she was still making headlines for their very publicized feud and the "leaked" tape starring Blac Chyna with another man. The most recent headlines came when Blac Chyna was offered a stroller endorsement deal but then it wound up getting pulled once footage was released with Blac Chyna getting into a fight at Six Flags amusement park. She could be seen trying to use a bright pink stroller as a weapon and it's left people wondering why the public is even indulging in her nonsense any longer.

Kendra Wilkinson 

When Kendra Wilkinson was first introduced to the world as the youngest girlfriend of Hugh Hefner on the hit reality series, The Girls Next Door, there was definitely some attention that revolved around her since she seemed to be so different from the other girls. She had a tomboy spirit and seemed to be far sportier than the other girls and she definitely loved all things hip hop. Yet, that was actually a source of contention between her and the other girls since Wilkinson made it seem like she grew up in an urban environment, but their visit to her childhood home showed otherwise. When Wilkinson ultimately left the Playboy mansion to marry the professional football player, Hank Baskett, people hoped that she would just settle into her new life as a wife and mother and stay away from reality television.

Yet, that's not how things went since she got her own spin-off series and participated in a number of other reality competition shows.

With her finally announcing a split from Baskett, many people are left hoping that Hollywood will finally be done with this former Playboy model.

Iggy Azalea Disappointed Fans

When Nicki Minaj first emerged as the newest female rap star, the public seemed ready to jump onboard with a brand new face in hip hop. It seemed like the door was finally rammed open for female rappers to make their way to the top of the charts and cross over to more than just the rap genre in regards to mainstream popularity.

This left the door open for Iggy Azalea to become a powerhouse in rap music. Yet, the tide started to change after her initial hit that took over the radio waves.

People started calling her out for the fact that she didn't write her own lyrics and there were claims that she was just another person that was trying to profit from urban culture. Her behavior in her personal life started to taint her already-rocky reputation in the eyes of the public and it left people wondering why she still seems to be getting attention by those in Hollywood. While some people have enjoyed her time as a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor, there are others that just wish she would go away.

Cardi B Can't Step Up

When Cardi B was first introduced as the newest cast member of the reality series, Love & Hip Hop, there wasn't much stock put into her claims that she was trying to pursue a career in music as a rap artist. She was often shown working as a dancer at a club that was frequented by a popular music manager and much of her storyline was based around her volatile behavior and tumultuous love life. When she released the song "Bodak Yellow," no one could have guessed how big of a hit it would become with fans of rap music. It seemed like instant validation for her and Hollywood was quick to jump on the bandwagon to claim that she was the next big thing in rap music.

Yet, she has seemed to struggle in trying to recreate the same success of that single and now she's known more for her outlandish social media posts and videos.

People are starting to wonder whether or not she is just a one-hit-wonder that followed the cliché of getting pregnant by another random rap star.

Paris Hilton Parties For A Living

When Paris Hilton was first spotted on the red carpet and hopping from one Hollywood hotspot to the next, it seemed like the public couldn't get enough of her. Her leaked tape only heightened the intrigue over her and it wasn't long before she was offered her own reality television series, The Simple Life. Yet, the public's attention span didn't last very long when it came to her overly privileged attitude and her lack of respect for the common man. The public was quick to move onto other reality stars but that didn't mean that Hilton was going to just fade away into the sunset.

Instead, she started coining herself as a brand and a professional DJ. She went overseas to become a huge star and travels all around the world as a DJ, complete with a huge price tag for engagements and appearances.

It doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon, especially since her most recent headline of getting engaged to the actor, Chris Zylka.

Jessica Biel Wants More

When Jessica Biel was first noticed on the hit television series, 7th Heaven, people got the impression that she saw herself as a big fish in a small pond. After leaving the series, she set her sights on the big screen and tried her had at being considered a serious actress rather than just a sitcom star. She's had quite a few roles on the big screen but people still don't really see her as a film star. Instead, she's turned into just the wife of Justin Timberlake and there have been a number of magazine interviews that have truly hurt her public persona. In a 2009 interview with Allure, Biel compared herself to hugely talented and Academy Award-winning actresses and said that she wanted a career like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

When asked about her good looks hurting her career, she stated, "It really is a problem. I have to be blunt."

This comment has made some people wonder whether or not people are thinking too highly of Biel, including herself.

Taylor Swift Got Bad Press

When Taylor Swift was first introduced to the world as a young country singer/songwriter, people were enthralled with her huge talent and her perfectly curled blonde locks. Yet, that phase in her life didn't seem to last very long and she eventually switched over to pop music and started making huge headlines because of the situations in her personal life.

From the hugely publicized feud between her and Katy Perry to the back-and-forth drama between her and Kanye West, it seemed like she was thriving over the mean-girl persona that people were starting to put on her.

On top of that, she started to try and change her persona in a way that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. From her bleached platinum hair to being named New York City's Welcome Ambassador for Tourism, people have started to wonder whether or not they will ever get to know the "real" Taylor Swift.

Kaley Cuoco Has A Bad Rep

Kaley Cuoco has consistently made the lists for being one of the top-paid actresses on the big screen with each new year through her role as Penny on The Big Bang Theory. Yet, there have been some that have questioned whether or not she is worthy of all the acclaim and the extra funds. When Cuoco first started out on the show, she was coined as the impossibly hot blonde that all of the main characters would fawn over. Yet, her character has changed over the years. Taking away from the fact that she is now married to Leonard on the show, she's also stopped flaunting off her assets through all of her signature tank tops and pyjamas on the show. There was also a big span of time where she had extremely short hair and it wasn't exactly favored by television audiences or the television characters, for that matter. With so many photos of Cuoco being released that show her as far from one of Hollywood's hottest celebs, it's interesting that she's still garnering the same ultra-high paycheck.

Mila Kunis Has Different Priorities Now

When Mila Kunis was first introduced to the world as Jackie Burkhart during the first season of That '70s Show in 1998, people thought that she added a little something to the show. Yet, many people just loved the chemistry she had with her costar, Ashton Kutcher, and it was cute to hear the details regarding her very first kiss on the set of the show. Yet, not much was seen in regards to her acting skills in this lighthearted show and once the series tried to delve into deeper issues, it had already started winding down and ultimately came to an end in 2006.

When Kunis started appearing on the big screen, she definitely had her moments where people started calling her a beautiful newcomer to the big screen.

Yet, there were a number of criticisms that came her way once she was named FHM's "S*xiest Woman In The World" in 2013. Photos of her without makeup and trolling around town were plastered all over tabloids and it left people wondering how in the world she got that title.

Bella Thorne Apparently Needs A Man

When Bella Thorne was first introduced to the world through her appearance as the fresh-faced beauty on the Disney Channel series, Shake It Up, no one could have guessed the type of persona she would evolve into as she got older. Her presence on social media started to change and people couldn't help but notice how provocative her look had become. She started posting photos of herself in see-through clothing and scandalous costumes that drew attention to her chest piercing. When she was photographed at Cannes cuddled up with Scott Disick beside the pool, people couldn't help but cringe at their relationship. While their "relationship" didn't last, Thorne took to Twitter and made possibly the most cringe-worthy comment possible when she said, "I hate not being in a relationship." With the world commending women that embrace independence, this wasn't a comment that helped boost her status points in the eyes of the public.

Kylie Jenner Hired Writers

When Kylie Jenner was first introduced to the world, she was just seen as one of the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. People were completely enthralled with the older sisters and she wasn't even given that much attention. As Keeping Up with the Kardashians continued, the public got to see Kylie grow up in front of the cameras. The talk around her used to be focused on her lack of measuring up in regards to her looks compared to her sisters, but then it shifted to all of the work she had done to create her new signature look.

It didn't take long for her to get a huge following and became one of the most sought-after celebrities to follow on social media.

Yet, many people are left wondering what all the hype is about, especially since she's already admitted that she uses ghostwriters for her social media and app presence.
