Singer Miley Cyrus and teen pop sensation Justin Bieber have been named the least influential people by a magazine.
In a list compiled by GQ magazine, around 25 people have been named the Least Influential People of 2013.
Cyrus, 21, received the title because of her controversial appearance during this year's MTV VMAs where she twerked and wailed her tongue as she performed with Robin Thick. In 'Wrecking Ball', the singer has gone completely nude.
"Miley spent the entire year foam-finger-blasting herself, licking sledgehammers, and basically trying every insane strategy she could think of to rile up America's few remaining pearl clutchers. What's sad is that it totally worked," the magazine said.
Bieber, 19, who had been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, earned the spot in the list because of his errant behaviour.
"When you're a just-legal megastar raising hell and being a brat, people will still give you a chance," the magazine said.
"They'll blame the money and the fame and probably your parents. But once you lose the baby fat, there are no viable excuses," they added.
Other stars who made it to the Least Influential list, include Lady Gaga, Ryan Reynolds, 'Man of Steel' director Zack Snyder, Alex Rodriguez, Tim Tebow, Will Smith and his family and Dennis Rodman among others.
