Singer Miley Cyrus and former basketball star Dennis Rodman have been named two of the least influential celebrities of 2013 by GQ magazine.

Femalefirst.co.uk reports that the editors at the US publication have compiled a list of the 25 stars who they believe are uninspiring to the general public, noting that this year "has been a bad year for impotent megalomaniacs."

In the number one spot on the list is Rodman, who has garnered attention for his controversial friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Editors call Rodman a "Q-list celebrity willing to commit borderline treason just to hang out with a dictator who himself aspires to be a Q-list celebrity."

US chef Paula Deen comes in at number two following her racial slur controversy earlier this year and American politician Anthony Weiner rounds out the top three.

Meanwhile, pop star Cyrus, who turned 21 Saturday, ranks sixth on the list for her provocative and racy performances over the past few months.

Also making to the list are Will Smith and his family, Justin Bieber and Ryan Reynolds.
