IN OUR CLICK-CRAZED Internet society, websites are falling all over themselves trying to come up with clever lists meant to ensnare surfers and get them to hang around.

So if you peruse the Internet, you're always seeing come-ons like "10 Famous Celebrities Who Wet Their Beds" or "Five Politicians in Their College A Cappella Groups."

How can you not check those links out? Are you made of stone?

It's why Forbes now comes out with a new list of rich people seemingly every other week - richest Americans, richest musicians, richest movie stars, richest cartoon characters, etc.

GQ now rejoins the parade of faux information with the Least Influential Celebrities of 2013 - it's third annual such list.

Who tops it? Dennis Rodman, meaning the term "celebrity" is used very loosely.

How is Rodman less influential than one of the new cast members of "Saturday Night Live" or one of the big-city "Housewives"? Beats us. It's hard to prove a negative.

Celebrity chef Paula Deen finished second on the GQ list, followed by sexting former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Miley Cyrus partied at No. 6, even though she seems to have a lot of influence - inspiring a generation of young women to use their foam fingers in new and exciting ways.

Other celebrities deemed noninfluential include Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Ryan Reynolds and Will Smith.

And at No. 17? President Obama because, GQ said, "nothing gets done."

Yo, GQ, no matter who the president of the United States is, he has more influence doing nothing than everyone else on the list combined.

Mick Jagger is set to become a great-grandfather early next year.

The Rolling Stones frontman's daughter Jade told London's Sunday Times that her 21-year-old daughter, Assisi, expects to give birth in several months.

Assisi told Hello! magazine that Mick was pleased when she told him the news.

She told the magazine, "He said, 'Well done.' "

She added, "I imagine it's nice to be a great-granddad, although I'm not sure he likes the idea of getting old, or being called one. I call him Mick - I wouldn't start calling him grandpa."

Great grandpa Mick and the Stones plan to tour Australia next year.

Willie Nelson has suspended performances until December after three of his band members were hurt when their bus plowed into a bridge pillar in eastern Texas during rainy conditions.

The Texas Department of Public Safety says Nelson was not aboard in the weather-related accident in the middle of the night on Interstate 30, 75 miles northeast of Dallas.

Nelson spokeswoman Elaine Schock says Paul English broke his ankle, his brother Billy English suffered a bruise hip, and Tom Harkin has a cracked or bruised rib.

State Trooper Sylvia Jennings says seven people were on the westbound bus, including the driver who was dealing with wet roads and high winds.

* "The Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman revealed he has been treated for skin cancer and shared a selfie showing his bandaged nose.

"Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!" he wrote on Instagram, referring to his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Jackman, 45, said he had a basal-cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer that is rarely fatal.

"Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" he wrote.

Oh, and don't try to remove the cancer with your retractable claw.

Australia has the world's highest skin-cancer rate, and two in three Australians will be diagnosed before age 70, according to the national health department.

Cary Elwes, a/k/a Westley in "The Princess Bride," has a deal with Touchstone for a memoir about the beloved movie fairy tale. The book is called As You Wish: Tales from the Princess Bride. It is scheduled for publication in the fall of 2014.

Rob Reiner, who directed the movie, is contributing a foreword. The book, to be co-written by Joe Layden, also will include interviews with Billy Crystal, Robin Wright and other cast members from the 1987 film.

* The Golden Globe season has officially begun with the crowning of aspiring actress Sosie Bacon, 21, the daughter of Globe winners Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, as Miss Golden Globe 2014.

Chosen each year by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Miss Golden Globe assists with the Globes ceremony and is typically the daughter of Hollywood celebrities. The outgoing recipient is Francesca Eastwood, 20, daughter of Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher.

* Francesca Eastwood, by the way, secretly married 35-year-old Jordan Feldstein, last weekend in Las Vegas, reported TMZ.com.

Feldman, who manages Sexiest Man Alive Adam Levine, Maroon 5 and Sara Bareilles, is the brother of Jonah Hill.

Us Weekly reports that Francesca was previously in a two-year relationship with 31-year-old celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, and London's Daily Mail had her locking lips in London in September with wealthy Saudi movie producer Mohammed Al Turki. There's not much written about Jordan, and what is written (see thedirty.com) isn't too flattering.

Tattle will be surprised if this one lasts a year.
