I was watching 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' the other night when I heard Kim mention that she had to be popular if she's the number one search on AOL Hot Searches. Kim, we're happy to report, you are correct. Not only is Kim Kardashian a hot search term in general, she also took the number one spot on our most searched reality stars list.
This made me wonder what other reality stars went from being an 'Average Joe' to a 'Superstar'. So I decided to find out who the other the top searched reality stars were on AOL Search.
Looking at the rest of the list, 'American Idol' stars are pretty prevalent with (current and former) contestants like David Cook, Carly Smithson and David Archuleta. Lauren Conrad, Audrina Partridge and Spencer Pratt from MTVs 'The Hills' were also heavily searched. I wonder why Lauren's rival Heidi Montag didn't make it on our top searched list?
Padma Lakshm is also on our list. You may not recognize her name but Padma is the host of the reality show 'Top Chef,' which airs on Bravo.
Is your favorite reality star on the list? If not, try searching for reality stars on AOL Search or check out In2TV which has old episodes of reality shows online for free.

1. Kim Kardashian

3. Lauren Conrad
4. Carly Smithson
5. Cheryl Burke

7. Padma Lakshmi

1. It's sad, but Jeff Probst. I've always thought he was a cutie.

3. I'm sorry..I don't even know this guys name. i know heidi from Lauren Conrad on Leguna Beach..but then I see this guy..who I think is way UNattractive because of his squished up face and blonde/fire crotch hair. I think he's UGLY. Stay out of the spotlight. Heidi is way too cute for you..and that's because of the nose job and boob job... Please wear black and stay BEHIND the scenes like you look you should. Thank you much.

6. THE ONLY REASON ANYONE IS ON TV/MOVIES IS BECAUSE THEY AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND TV/MOVIES ETC... ARE OF SATAN, AS EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW---ESPECIALLY, OF COURSE, GOD OMNISCIENT, ALMIGHTY, OMNIPRESENT.

9. My favorite reality star is Omarosa. I never thought I'd say that. But she won my heart in the latest season of Celebrity Apprentice. She really is smart and she is a very beautiful woman. She's not afraid to think outside the box and she doesn't take crap from anyone.

10. Actually, Audrina's last name is spelled "Patridge" not "Partridge".

12. I hate Spencer Pratt. He is one of the meanest guys I have ever seen. Lauren is right about him. Lauren is awesome. Heidi is 2 faced and I hate her too. I think her and Spencer are made for each other because they are so disgustingly mean.

13. You know what... I have been following the Hills since it started and I hate Spenser! I think hes a jerk and i dont think someone as pretty as Heidi should be with him. Even though Im not to fond of Heidi, I still think she means well. And she was so brainwashed by Spenser. But I love Lauren and I think she rocks!!

14. You want to know why Spencer is so popular? Because for some genetic reason, girls like guys who don't work and don't treat their girlfriends very well. Heidi is no gem but Spencer is scum

15. I'm so glad I don't recognize any of the phonies on your list. Why do I have the feeling that their supposed fame is all HYPE ?

16. Why anyone would like David Cook is beyond me - Not at all good looking and no personality - actually he is repulsive looking. He is his "biggest fan"

17. David Cook -no looks or personality - acually really ugly!

18. kim kardashian gained popularity for being in a sex tape and having a famous dad who defended a murderer. why do they keep paying attention to her? and sorry, but that ass is NOT attractive! it's BIG and blubbery and so are her thighs. she is a self centered over exposed stuck up bitch. her diva like behavior is disgusting! i wish she would go away. just like spencer pratt and heidi! what a couple of pathetic losers! he is her pimp and she's the dumb whore who listens to him! i'm glad her music flopped and her clothing line was a disaster! i'm so sick of these useless, untalented people getting all the attention. let's focus on some REAL people who deserve. how bout the soldiers in iraq? how about people who are actually doing something for others and not just to line their pockets with more money. the fact that kim became famous for having sex and continues to earn money, makes me ill! she has NO talent, other than turning around and sticking out her fat ass!
at least padma lashki is helping OTHER people get a shot at their careers. she's not running around showing her "bare" assets. it's time for KIM, HEIDI, SPENCER and a few other useless people to go away!

19. spencer pratt looks like ALFRED of MAD magazine

20. That is SO insulting to Alfred E. Neuman. Spencer and Heidi need to crawl back under the rock they came out from, along with that Kardashian fake.
