Caroline Michelle “Carrie” Prejean is one of the most odd putaface cases I have ever seen. She certainly wanted attention, as Miss California 2009 winner and Miss USA Runner up, but the attention she has gotten is for things like a bad answer about gay marriage to “judge” Perez Hilton at the Miss USA contest, revealing that she had her breasts done for the contest, apparently not fulfilling her contract for Miss California, being dethroned, continuing to miss commitments and make off the wall comments, and then recent revelations of both a series of Carrie Prejean solo sex tapes, and in interview with Larry King where she went off. This is a continuing story of putaface self destruction!

No matter what else she does in her life, Kristen Stewart, aka K-Stew, will always be known as Bella Swan, that girl from the Twilight movies. It’s a heavy cross to bear for such a young actress, and the promotional schedule for this series of movies has been so heavy and so tough, it seems like she is always out there pushing the movie in new markets and making the news. She is so closely linked to co-star Robert Pattinson, that there are rumors of romance, marriage, pregnancy, and just about everything else. It’s been a wild ride for sure, and we will see if this putaface can survive the media onslaught!

If there is ever an award for being a Putaface, the first winner will likely be Katie Price, aka Jordan. This good looking British girl took a Page 3 topless model “career” and inflated her boobs and horizons into being a TV presenter, a reality show contestant, a singer (sort of), a writer, a documentary host, product spokesperson, her own lines of everything from cosmetics to clothes, and most of all, busty and topless fodder for the celeb pages of the newspapers. She is so good at it, that she has become a sort of International Z-lister, an amazing accomplishment for a girl who’s biggest assets were bought and installed on an operating table.

Fashion models and spokesmodels are pretty much natural putafaces. They spend their days seducing the camera, so they are use to lots of flashes, and typically showing off lots of flesh.

Bar Refaeli is an isreali born and raised model who has reached the rank of super model thanks to her combination of great looks, sexy smile, and stunning curves. She was the 2009 SI cover model and will appear again in 2010. Most people know her mostly as Leonardo DiCarpio’s long running girlfriend, a 4+ year relationship that finally ended in early 2009. I would have to say he is one of the luckiest guys around!

I think that as soon as a “star” does a photoshoot for FHM or Maxim or similar, they have certainly moved right into Putaface territory. Megan Denise Fox is one of those girls who has taken that route to great success. She started out first as a model, and has worked her way into movies. Some of them, like staring with The Olsen twins were less than memorable. But then Megan Fox got involved with the Transformer movies, and she is now an official A-lister with a fan base and a great following. The best part is she is a stunner, very photogenic, and not shy to show almost all of it off for the cameras!

When it comes to being a Putaface, the top prize winner for 2009 has to be the Poker Face singer Lady Gaga. This singer / songwriter, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in New York, has taken the concept of looking famous to a whole new level. her debut album, The Fame, is all about getting famous, or at least acting like you are famous. She has certainly done that.

Lady Gaga is best known at this point not so much for her music but for her wild costumes, which she wears even off stage. Recently she did an interview in an outfit made up of nothing but Kermit The Frog dolls. Other times she wears barely there catsuits, walks around wearing gstring outfits and no pants, etc. Her past career as a stripper has apparently made it easier for this girl to walk around with her parts hanging out, and the press is eating it up. She is also a darling for Celeb basher Perez Hilton, who seems to think he discovered her. For some people, there is a feeling that her 15 minutes of fame is up, the next album will decide that completely!

When a performer is known by a single name, you know they have made it in to the pure putaface limelight. Beyonce Knowles first came to public attention as part of the mega selling girl group Destiny’s Child, where her good voice and very sexy looks were quickly noticed. Her first solo record scored 5 grammy awards and a number of singles. She has starred in movies, made a number of albums, and is a well known celeb. In part, her fame comes from her very curvy body and her willingness to show off her curves very publicly. While she hasn’t been caught in any embarrassing shots, she has certainly not shied away from the camera lenses either, using the paps to further her career. She recently married rapper Jay-z, so maybe her putaface ways will change.

Taylor Swift has moved quickly from quirky teen that few outside of Nashville knew about to a total phenom in less than a couple of years. This 19 year singer and songwriter has done impressive things in the last two years, including releasing a couple of top selling albums, getting nominated for Grammy Awards, winning the breakthrough video of the year award, and Swift’s songwriting peers at the Nashville Songwriters Association International honored her with their Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award. Her relationship to Joe Jonas (of the Disney Jonas Brothers fame) and some key appearances in Disney production (current and future) have also helped to raise her profile. Her music, while considered country, is certainly showing strong cross over appeal. It also helps that Taylor Swift is a very photogenic teen, and she knows how to work all the media, with myspace and other mediums being used to promote her and her music. Check out these albums from Taylor Swift!

Some girls have to learn how to be a putaface, others come about it all so naturally you would think they were born to it. Lily Allen is one of those girls who just has it all figured out, and knows exactly how to play the media like a fiddle.

Walk around with your boobs hanging out? Check! Go shopping in public wearing really weird outfits and even weirder hats? Check! Get totally sloshed on another celebs boat and run around topless? Check! Bad mouth every other performer and putaface? Check! Do cover songs of the people you bad mouth? Check and check!

While she has a reasonable career in music (mostly in the UK) it has been her public no-nos and paparazzi pleasing flashing and weirdness that have really raised her to the top of public awareness, and has given this girl a special place above and beyond most of the Paris Hilton wannabes.

Britney Spears is the proof that a true Putaface is a natural thing, a deep down desire to show off and get your picture taken, no matter what the circumstances. This girl has always known how to seduce the camera, from starting out as a tween on the Mickey Mouse Club to driving around Los Angeles spaced out on whatever and wearing see thru tops, she has done it all in order to get herself noticed. Her naughty schoolgirl look as a wild 16 year old in her video Hit Me Baby One More Time launched her into the sphere of major stardom, and her well chronicled marriage, repeat pregancies, divorce, and mental vacation have all been well documented, often with pictures that I am sure his putaface would wish would disappear. Her new album called Circus is pretty much a reflection of her wild last couple of years, and it’s nice to see her back to her smoking hot putaface self.
