Me too.
Most recently, the faked bronzes of Suri Cruise's first poop and the bronze of Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug by Daniel Edwards (who really knows how to spin his shock-schlock) have raised eyebrows.

Daniel Edwards has done other lesser-known works that deliberately court controversy like a nude bust of Hillary Clinton, & a "Paris Hilton autopsy."

and it's just one rogue gallery representing him.
Still, Daniel Edwards' art isn't completely awful. Some of it is a good as Jeff Koons, who also isn't a "great," but has done some great stuff. Personally, I feel Karen Kilimnik's treatment of celebrity is more in tune with a Warholian sensibility (yet, bear in mind, her works look nothing like a Warhol; she's also someone who can write on the picture plane successfully) and that, as important conceptual artists go, Lucas Samaras and Laurie Anderson are to be considered as well.
