I can't stand any of them really. I think that we, as a culture, spend too much time on our celebrities. All the gossiping and such, I've never really seen a point to it. But that's just my opinion.

ITA. As much as they irritate me, I am (morbidly) fascinated by them. It's almost like they are not human to me.

I'm not into any of them enough to be bothered, but I will say something about Angelina Jolie/Angie Jo/Saint Ange or whatever she's called now...

Her entire being just screams fake to me. Something about her, and not necessarily her charity work or the consistent press releases of her going from one third world country to another with a camera documenting, picking up kids, adopting, etc. It's like she wants people to love her and loves the attention she garnishes from everything she does.

Frankly, I have never been impressed with her as an actress, and from what I have observed of her in interviews she just seems pretty dull, vapid, pretentious (in the way where one is apparantly trying to come off as naturally intelligent by sounding extra haughty and raising their eyebrows in a pseudo-intellectual pose).

I can't criticize her for her humanitarian work. I commend it. There are so many rich, useless people out there buying overpriced stuff and being photographed in clubs or trying on new outfits that, truthfully, that is her saving grace. But that's also the thing that bugs me because I think she knows it. Why would she have to be so public about it when so many others have done even more without having it leaked in the press how much they donated, or pictures all over the media showcasing everything? I understand the theory that those in the public eye want to bring attention to those in need and use their celebrity to do good, but she goes a bit overboard.

And as for her and Brad Pitt? I don't care. I've always liked him as an actor, but he's become a complete dullard.

Celebrities, as a rule, annoy me.

I have to work with a lot of them, and have pretty much met all of the ones I ever wanted to meet. But thankfully, that has been in professional settings. Not in odd fan circumstances. Some actors and musicians are extremely kind and generous people, and a certain percentage of them are monsters.

Who knows why some of them bother us and others don't?

I would like to address one subject, though. And that is Angelina Jolie. As far as I can remember, I have never seen a single one of her performances. However, I have had the pleasure of meeting her on more than one occasion, and she is 100% down to earth, sweet, funny, and absolutely gracious. On a side note, her mother was one of the sweetest people I have had the opportunity to know.

Maybe Angelina's persona and the way she is portrayed in the press grates on some of you. It happens.

She isn't a bad person. In fact, she is a lovely and kind human being. She always has been to me, anyway. And she has never had any reason to kiss up to me or put on an act.

She's the real deal.

The media portrayal of people is not always reality.

Well, that means something. Honestly, the only thing most of us have is the public image to go by. I'm not crazy about her persona, but as I mentioned, the things she does in terms of charity are absolutely 100% commendable. I can't see how anyone could find fault when some of those celebs just shop and show off their splendor. Since you have personally met her and say she is sweet, etc, I believe you. She's probably shy and not concerned about coming off as personable or charming. Good for her and thank you for the info!! BTW, her mother was absolutely stunning. As pretty as Angelina is, her mother was, like, 10 times more gorgeous from what I saw...

That's so cool to hear about Angelina Jolie, Sparky. I've actually always liked her (never much of a fan of Jen to tell the truth), I think the work she does is incredible and although she gets lots of press for it, it would be hard not to considering how famous she is and who she's married to. Plus, she's Goodwill Ambassador for the UN so it's kinda part of the job description to get publicity for it.
I do think she's a great actress too, her performance in Changeling is particularly good, she definitely deserved her Oscar nomination for it.

I'm more annoyed by celebrities who are famous for being famous really but I understand how people get sick and tired of stars like Angelina and Brad when they're in the press all the time. I'm sure even they get sick of seeing themselves in the press.

Totally and whole- heartedly agree here with everything you said, and couldn't have said it better myself!

Rihanna annoys me in ways I can't begin to explain...

Okay, I lied.

Firstly, I don't condone what Chris Brown's supposedly done to her. No one should be subjected to that, annoying or not. She irks me, but I would never wish her ill.

I don't like her voice that much. It sounds monotonous and nasally. And she's on the radio pretty much all the time, so she's getting repetitive. When my favourite female singers are Stevie, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell and Ann Wilson, you can really hear the talented from the not-so talented. And, personally, I can't see it in her. She relies too much on her looks, and I don't like her style, either. Some of what she wears is pretty weird, but each to their own, I guess. I just think she looks like she's dressed in the dark.

I'm with you totally Sparky. I've met Angelina Jolie several times - not only is she utterly stunning looking, she has that undefinable charisma that separates the true star from the 'celebrity'.

I have found her warm, intelligent and genuine. She has a natural warmth that supposed 'girl next door' Aniston can only dream of. It's funny how the media images of these two are so unlike the women I met. Angelina was someone I felt I would happily choose as a friend in other circumstances. Aniston was a horrid, sour old trout.
My ex also know Brad Pitt and said he was one of the nicest guys you could meet.

Again, in terms of 'nice' image being at variance with the real thing - Kylie Minogue - vile dwarf!

[Lindsey Jr.]

Lady Gaga = a bad Christina ripoff
Paris Hilton = too much media attention
Amy Whinehouse = "
U2 = overrated, arrogant
Limp bizkit = I used to like them, but now I realise they aren't even close to metal, and their reunion, after their little "arguments" is just... bs.
Michael Moore = for political reasons
Madonna = stop right now thank you
Al Gore = for telling lies, his attitude, political reasons
Victoria Beckham = respect for David...

Marcheline was stunning.

You get major points for that phrase.

yeah I get annoyed by celebrities who are famous for being famous. Not like the two princes but more the ones who love the attention. William and Harry are the kind who hate the attention but the paris hilton types. I remember when there were news stories that Britney wanted to date william or was dating him or something and it was like *facepalm* cause I knew them a little back then (they had stayed at our place and met them a few times when they would come to Scotland and I knew william a bit at university cause we already knew a little of each other and had a few classes together) and he was soooo not into that, he was kind of dorky and it was just ridiculous (Harry was much more fun to get along with and he might have found it kind of funny though). And the difference between those celebrities like paris and britney, and then Angelina is that they go out to be spotted and photographed and put in magazines while photos of her are always candid paparazzi ones that she'd probably rather weren't taken, she doesn't go out for attention otherthan when its for charity.
