Celebrities you can't stand

[77Rumours77]

Which Celebrities would you like to send on a rocket to the sun?
I have a ton but I can only think of 2 right now.
Sandra Bernhart
William Shatner

Ughhhhh! I hate them. I am sure I will think of more but what about you?

[strandinthewind]

NOT CAPTAIN KIRK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Jenifer Garner gets on my nerves as does Ryan Seacrest.

[gldstwmn]

Ryan Seacrest.

For some reason, this makes me laugh. :)

For some reason, this makes me laugh. :)


I know I know!!!!!! :cool:

It is the way he dresses can you say the male version of Paris Hilton - and quite frankly, he is orange from the spray on tan :laugh:

I do not wish him fell deeds - He just rubs me the wrong way :cool:

J LO

I can't stand her. Others I don't like:

Ben Affleck- I find him very bland and he went out with J Lo :shocked:

Halle Berry- She just seems superficial and she drives me nuts and her movies usually suck

[markolas]

Joan Rivers. She's starting to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein from all the plastic surgery she's had.

I'm sure there are others, but that's just off the top of my head.

[gldstwmn]

Joan Rivers. She's starting to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein from all the plastic surgery she's had.


Not to mention her humor has become bizarre. But yes, Joan has had too much done.

OMG - I LOVE CAT WOMAN "I need all the millions I can get in my divorce Wildenstein. What a peive of work :laugh:

[GateandGarden]

Oh, I have so many that I'd have to get back to you at a later date for some of them.

These pop into my mind-

Laura Schlessinger
Laura Ingraham
Willa Ford
Brad Paisley
Aaron Carter
Tim McGraw
Chuck Norris
Avril Lavigne
Steve Warnier
Joyce Meyer
Naomi Judd
John and Anne Paulk
James Dobson
Charlie Daniels
Anne Coulter

Okay, so none of these people are celebrities in the way that J.Lo is, but they're all famous for one reason or another. And I have to say that I don't really hate most of them, I just find them all extremely annoying.

Hillary

[gldstwmn]

Most celebrities make me shudder, which I part of the reason I never turn on the television. Oprah can make me shudder quite violently though.

Oh! How could I forget! Yes, Oprah bugs the hell out of me.

[The Tower]

Celine Dion - the worst, ever. Just die, already....

Sandra Bullock

Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Britney Spears

Brad Pitt

Sarah McLaughlin

Matt Damon

Ah-nold

Barry Diller

Steven Seagal (although, he doesn't qualify as a celebrity anymore)

Melissa Etheridge (!!!)

More to come later.....

[DrummerDeanna]

Sarah McLaughlin




Ahem...yeah...so it's McLachlan...not McLaughlin....I know you (obviously) don't like her...but the mis-calling her McLaughlin has become SUCH a pet peeve of mine...:laugh: I need therapy.....

So yeah....here's who I don't like...

Mariah Carey
P. Diddy
Whitney Houston
Bobby Brown
The Hilton sisters
Christina Aguilera
Britney Spears
Nelly
R. Kelly
J. Ho er Lo...J. Lo
Avril Lavigne or however it's spelled

[GateandGarden]

Celine Dion - the worst, ever. Just die, already....
:laugh: Didn't you know someone was going to protest that? Come on, much of her French material is amazing. The vast majority of the popular English material is substandard and annoying (not vocally, just musically). Of course, I can't deny that as a person, she can be hard to take. But I do love that French stuff, particularly Dion Chante Plamondon and D'eux. But, of course, it's just my opinion. Honestly, I can understand why others don't care for her that much.

Hillary

[Jason T.]

Toby Keith and Avril Lavigne are the only ones that make me want to vomit. LOL! I still don't understand the massive hate of J. Lo, and in NO way understand how someone could hate Sarah McLachlan.

[estranged4life]

I could piss alotta people off with my HATRED of "Celeb-ri-ties"...So I will stay mum, Except for this parting shot:

"Paris Hilton is like Kansas-White, Flat & Easy to get into too..."

Brian "Oprah & Jabba the Hut were twins separated at birth..." j.

[dissention]

Sandra Bernhart

Ughhhhh! I hate them. I am sure I will think of more but what about you?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I LOVE Sandra Bernhard!!! She is f*cking hysterical! :D

[dissention]

Not to mention her humor has become bizarre. But yes, Joan has had too much done.

I don't know, I was dying last year at the Emmy's when she was yelling at the cameraman not go near Brian Dennehy because he had a bad gas problem and smelled like an outhouse in South Carolina during the middle of summer. :lol:

[dissention]

Sandra Bullock

Michael Douglas


I always thought Sandra came across as a very nice and down-to-earth person. And Michael's not all that bad, I'm sure I've told the story of how he paid for my jerky at a smoke shop in Vermont a million times. :laugh: But he hasn't made a decent movie in YEARS. His last good one was War of the Roses and that was '89. :lol:

[dissention]

Celebs I Despise:

Hootchie Spears- Ignorant, egotistical, rude, selfish, and annoying. Strong argument for birth control.

Avril Lavigne- Yeah, your music is just so deep. :rolleyes:

Christina Aguilera- For some reason, I thinks she suffers from lice and may have possibly been a man.

Adam Sandler- Watch him in interviews, he's as stupid and dense as he is in his movies. He has never made me laugh once.

Katie Couric- Never trust a woman who shows you the inside of her ass on national television. And her brow lift couldn't be more obvious.

Matt Lauer- The skinhead look does not suit ya, asshole.

Dr. Phil- He's dispensing weight loss advice? Yeah, because we all want to look like Phil. :rolleyes:

Oprah- Because she gave us Phil.

Hillary Duff- Oy vey. Oy vey. Indescribable.

[hayley]

I hate everyone, but I see no one's mentioned the Nuge.

He should be roasted on a spit. Period.

[gldstwmn]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I LOVE Sandra Bernhard!!! She is f*cking hysterical! :D

And she sings!

[77Rumours77]

"Paris Hilton is like Kansas-White, Flat & Easy to get into too..."


LMAO!!!! :] :D

That Makes me add to my list....
Dr. Phil. He is the last person I want to buy a weight loss book from, Fu*king Hipocryt (sp?).
Britney Spears. Stupid bimbo who wore out her welcome years ago! You were cute 4 years again, Now your just annoying. Madonna SHAME ON YOU!
Joan Rivers. Umm... NO comments :rolleyes:
Oprah. BORING!
Paris Hilton - Cute, yes. But I hate looking at people who get rich by doing absolutly nothing. Jealous? DAMN RIGHT!
Hilary Duff I think I would eat a big ole bucket of **** before I listen to on of her "Candy Pop" tunes.
Justin Timberlake Where to begin, White Michael Jackson, O wait thats a little redundant. Let me try again, The Black Michael Jackson. I am so sick of seeing him on everything. PLZ do me a favor and just die, you stupid Mickey Mouse trash!
Dubya Does he count, I guess since hes the president it can count..... Again no comments

[Serrart]

Ben Affleck - Ok, he can't act, and the whole Bennifer saga...:rolleyes:

Calista Flockhart- The reason why I'm so grateful for TV remote controls

Freddie Prinze Jr.- He really needs to stop smiling and go to work in a coal mine:D

Romy

[77Rumours77]

Celine Dion - the worst, ever. Just die, already....


" I am Celin Dion, And I am zee best singe in zee world"

I can't stand her either.

[Claudia]

So many... I'll keep the list short:

- Britney Spears - I really, really don't understand how she became so popular (besides the outrageous, obnoxious clothes), she really isn't much of a singer. She gave a concert here a few months ago, wich was broadcasted on tv, and from what I heard from people attending the only thing she did was lip-synch. :rolleyes:

- Christina Aguilera

- Jennifer Lopez

- Hillary Duff - anoying...

- Celine Dion

[dissention]

And she sings!

:nod: ;)

She has CD that came out in '98 called "I'm Still Here, Dammit!" and it has a HILARIOUS segment about her and Stevie and their lesbian affair, then she sings a song about Stevie and her afghans. :lol: And it has a cover of "Midnight Train To Georgia" that is just amazing. What a fab voice. Rush out and get it you haven't heard, it's one of my faves.

Have you read her book "May I Kiss You On the Lips, Miss Sandra?" It's so funny that you'll read it in one sitting. :laugh:

[Bryan]

I HATE HATE HATE Paris Hilton!! She's the only celebrity I cant stand.

[amber]

I hate Julia Roberts. It galls me that she's so famous, yet so horsey, yet such a bland actress
Angelina Jolie - She is pretty, but i think her acting is bad - for some reason Gemini actresses always look fake to me - I even have similar troubles with Nicole Kidman
I, too, think Halle Berry, while pretty, is a bland, boring, banal actress. She's a Leo, but strangely, there's no fire in her eyes. Bleah!
Oprah seems shallow to me, as well. But can I borrow some money, Ope? :laugh:
I hope J LO never sings again. She may act, she may dance, but NO SINGING!

AMber

[celestenadia]

I think it's funny that alot of us have similar sentiments...

Paris Hilton - She's probably a nice girl but she has this annoying habit of just constantly
cocking her head in this posing kind of way!!!
Julia Roberts - It's my opinion that she's an overated actress. Also, I can't stand it when
celebrities whine about the papparazzi. Julia is one of these. In the meantime,her publicist
is negotiating for a cover of Vogue. It just doesn't make sense to me. The only cool thing
Julia Roberts ever did was marry Lyle Lovett and she blew that too!
Julia Stiles - Julia Roberts Jr.
Adam Sandler - overated
John Stosil 20/20 - annoying
Shannen Doherty - drunk and immature
Tara Reid - overated


Celebs you might think I'd find intolerable but I don't.

Jessica Simpson - Don't care for her singing but I think she's hilarious on her show.
She's just so absurd I crack up and I really can't knock anyone
who makes me laugh.
Britney Spears - She's probably a nice girl. She CAN dance, she does have some
talent and she IS very young. I actually feel kinda sorry for her...
I have a feeling that she is a victim of having a pushy stage mother
who thrust her into the whole entertainment machine.

[dissention]

I even have similar troubles with Nicole Kidman

:eek: :eek: :eek:

You must repent, NOW! :laugh:

Nicole Kidman is the Grace Kelly of today, my friend. You need a NicKid marathon to set you straight, I suggest watching these films in this exact order for maximum appreciation of the goddess that is NicKid:

1. Dogville
2. The Human Stain
3. The Others
4. To Die For
5. The Hours

There are not enough Oscars in the world for that woman.

AMberI thought Julia Roberts was really great in
Mary Reilly. It certainly wasn't her typical role. I remember thinking that Angelina Jolie was good in Girl, Interrupted, but it's been so long since I've seen it that she not have really been all that great. Anyway, I agree about J.Lo. Let her do more movies but please let her end the singing career!

She was good in To Die For. Also I liked her in Malice. I guess in the cold roles I think she's believable. She's ok, her eyes just don't nail it for me. I've been studying actresses as long as i can remember, and to me she doesn't really look like she's feeling the emotion - sorry! Gemini's ARE notoriously shallow, though....whatever - we never like the same thing anyway, so who cares?

[strandinthewind]

I think it is that she has lost too much weight and that makes her look angular. But, there is def. something going on. It could be age as well. I do, however, like her alot and think she is a good actress.

Two of my favorites with her remain Portrait Of a Lady (Jane Campion pushed her to give an incredible, almost claustrophobic performance) and Eyes Wide Shut, where she dominates the movie and annihilates her ex-husband's acting with one scene. :thumbsup:

How could I forget Eyes Wide Shut? She was amazing in that movie and she DID make Tom Cruise look awful, especially during the bedroom scene where they were smoking pot and the scene where she told him about her dream right after he finds the mask on his pillow. :nod: Portrait of A Lady is good, too, I'm a big Barbara Hershey fan, anyways.

However, I still think The Human Stain and Dogville are her crowning achievements. I'd be willing to bet big bucks that she'll get another Oscar nomination for Dogville and I can't stop praising that movie and her performance; both are perfection!!!!!!!!!

[cliffdweller]

Jenifer Garner gets on my nerves as does Ryan Seacrest.

thank god, someone said it. I can't stand Jennifer Garner either, and Ryan Seacrest needs to take it down a few notches.

The celebrities I can't stand:
Madonna-- sorry, she's seen her day and it's passed her by. Either concentrate on music or get out, the sex thing is, to quote Stevie, tired.

J.Lo-- She can't sing she can't act....maybe she should have just stuck to dancing.

Brittany Spears-- Someone put this child out of her misery and fast!

Halle Berry-- The woman cannot act, and don't give me Monster's Ball because I can name 10 people who could have done a better job in that role.

Tom Cruise-- His toothy grin makes me want to punch his toothy teeth out. He's an arrogant, bloated-headed, Hollywood actor who probably could be good if not for his huge ego and bad film choices.

Lance Armstrong-- Ya know, I'm glad that he won 6 times and that he survived cancer and everything, but I have to tell you I'm sick of seeing his mug all over Austin, and everyone treating him like he's the freakin' messiah come to save us all on a ten speed bike. Sorry but it's getting a little ridiculous.

Brittany Murphy-- I ask you...why? Useless...get rid of her (toss)

[dissention]

thank god, someone said it. I can't stand Jennifer Garner either,

Unlike most celebs, I think she comes across as genuinely nice person. :shrug: Plus, she's gorgeous. :laugh:

I KNOW!!! Doesn't it just make you want to vomit??!!? And can anyone say "Training Day?" 'cause I think his new movie has been made before (and probably better) with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.

BLASPHEMY!

[dissention]

BLASPHEMY!

My thoughts exactly. She can act up a storm, she just chooses ****ty projects. I doubt her career will ever recover from the debacle that is Catwoman.

[Livia]

Britney Spears - You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park outta the girl....

Celine Dion - Ugh!

I adore Nicole Kidman - I think she's one of the finest actresses of our day! And the way she handled herself during her divorce - pure class!

Lance Armstrong- seems like he's not very bright - but I do love him. :p

I love Sandra Bernhard too - but her singing gets on my nerves. She sings off-key more than "on."

Hmmm, who else can I not stand? Oprah - only because I don't like how she brags about how she can buy 1000 thread count sheets and the first thing she splurged on when she got money was nice towels, etc., etc. Someone even wrote to her about how they didn't like that either - Oprah read their letter on the air - during one of her fan mail shows- the fact that she tries to relate to her audience on a level NONE of them will ever be able to afford!

Penelope Cruz makes me wanna vomit. Home wrecking beeyatch! LOL And her nose is too close to her upper lip - that bugs me...

J-Lo - ITA- can NOT sing or act- and I hate that beige lip gloss look. Bleech!

Double blasphemy! Her acting seems a little more forced when she's speaking English, naturally. There's the issue of trying to remember words that don't come naturally.

In Spanish movies, she is killer. You must see "Don't Tempt Me" and your preconceptions will be erased.

[cliffdweller]

I loved the acting in The Human Stain (also because Anthony Hopkins is my absolute favorite :cool: ), but I think the movie needed a director with a little more courage.

Dogville is wonderful, Lars Von Trier has outdone himself and Nicole Kidman has been able to tranform her role in an icon. And Young Americans at the end was a great touch :D . She would deserve another Oscar for it, but I'm not sure the Academy can digest such an uncompromising film.

About Penelope Cruz, I'm not a great fan of hers, but she's recently given a beautiful performance in an Italian movie called Non ti muovere, that here has won every possible award. She could have with it some Oscar chances too, IMO.

I thought Hopkins was miscast. :sorry: I was a HUGE fan of the book (I even have my copy signed by the author and in plastic) and think it's one of the great American novels. :nod: He was good, but there was just something that didn't click; he didn't have that nervous intensity that I was looking for. Kidman was breathtaking, though, and Ed Harris was fabulous (as always).

Dogville has quickly become one of my favorite movies, everything about it is perfect. I think at the most she'll get nominated for it. The Oscars are notorious popularity contests, so they'll just give it to the star who was in the highest profile movie. I mean, I'm still shocked that Julia Roberts won for "Erin brockovich" over Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem For A Dream," which I consider the best performance ever put on film. And I also can't believe Cher won for "Moonstruck" over Sally Kirkland for "Anna." Such travesties. :nod:

I'm a huge fan of the book too (so much that I try to convince everybody I know to read it :D) and I loved Tony in the movie, but it's not my favorite performance of him. He tends to give more with directors who know how to challenge his insecurities (like Oliver Stone, or Julie Taymor).

Dogville has quickly become one of my favorite movies, everything about it is perfect. I think at the most she'll get nominated for it. The Oscars are notorious popularity contests, so they'll just give it to the star who was in the highest profile movie. I mean, I'm still shocked that Julia Roberts won for "Erin brockovich" over Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem For A Dream," which I consider the best performance ever put on film. And I also can't believe Cher won for "Moonstruck" over Sally Kirkland for "Anna." Such travesties. :nod

I haven't seen Anna, but Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream created an unforgettable work of art :angel: . Another case, in which Academy voters preferred to go ridicolously safe, like in 1997, with the infamous triumph of The English Patient, preferred to Fargo and Secrets & Lies :distress: .

:nod: I find that Hopkins is at the top of his game when there's a fabulous director onboard. If not, he just goes through the motions and collects the check.

You MUST see Anna, Sally Kirkland was unforgettable. That ending...oh my lucky stars. And The English Patient was sheer torture.

I can't believe none of you have mentioned this one yet...

JESSICA SIMPSON!!!!! :mad:

Can't someone just shoot the dumb blonde and get it overwith?

Tom Cruise. If I ever have to view that toothy grin again, it will be too soon.

Michael Douglas just makes me want to bathe every time I see him.... and coupled with Catherine Zeta-Jones (who I also can't stand) is just too much of an annoyance to bear.

Brad Pitt

Mel Gibson

The list can go on and on....

Ooooh, I forgot about Michael Douglas and Mel Gibson! Everytime I see or hear about Mel Gibson now I think of the South Park episode that totally (excuse the pun) crucified him! Gotta love those guys...
