Least Favourite Celebrity

[Ubiquitous Duck]

It's normally, for me, people with big ego problems, especially if they have little to chime up about.

Someone like Mariah Carey or the Kardashians. The level of arrogance that comes across whenever I have been subjected to them on TV... *shudder*.

Or Piers Morgan. F*** That Pri**.

 

[moggett88]

Patrick Wilson - he is just so incredibly off-putting it ruins any film I see him in. A-Team, Insidious, the one where he and his wife were exorcists or something...just gross.

Kayne West frustrates me. That's about all I can name, really. Fuck that guy is a prick though.

You just used a false equivalence logical fallacy.

Try again.

Says the guy who wrote "Unless you exclusively listen to either classical or the crap side of rap like 50 cent. Its virtually impossible to not like at least one of his songs."

You don't get to call out fallacies champ, not when committing argumentative atrocities like that.

 

[The Funslinger]

People who say they don't like any of Michael Jackson's music are lying to themselves. Simple as that.

I wouldn't go that far. In fact, 'if you don't agree with me, you're in denial' on the subject of musical taste is pretty bloody obnoxious. Reminds me of some dumbass who once said anyone who preferred Nirvana to Wolfmother wasn't a 'true rock fan'. Even though I do like Wolfmother better, that's not how it fucking works.

Personally, there are plenty of Michael Jackson songs I enjoy (Beat It being my overall favourite), and I totally agree with what other people have said about him having a defining influence in so many genres it's probably very difficult not to find something enjoyable about him.

But equally, sometimes it's the little things or the very general things that can kill someone's enjoyment in music. Maybe the OP finds Jackson's voice aggravating. Maybe it's something else, more vague or more specific. Either way, if he can't enjoy ol' Whacko Jacko, that's fair enough.

Justin Bieber. There are a lot of bad musicians out there, but his drunk driving was something you just don't do. Expecially not when so many teens look up to you.

Heh, yeah...people seemed to be getting over their irrational petty hatred of him, and then he gives them real reasons not to like him. Also, that stuff about Anne Frank being a Bilieber...

...

Anyway, Chris Brown, Roman Polanski, Mike Tyson etc come to mind.

Touché.

Probably the entire current, past and future cast of Big Brother. I was reminded of it by a comparison made to another show, My Super Sweet 16:

English satirist Charlie Brooker gave a light-hearted criticism of the show on BBC4's Screenwipe, calling it "a stonehearted exposé of everything that's wrong with our faltering so-called civilization." He describes the protagonists by saying that "Each episode follows an unbelievably spoiled rich and tiny sod as they prepare to throw a despicably opulent coming of age party for themselves and their squealing shitcake friends." He said the show "might be an Al-Qaeda recruitment program." However, he added that "that's exactly how the show wants you to feel - it's even more effective at creating instant hate figures than Big Brother, and that's saying something."

I don't want to become a person who is deeply amused by that sort of programming. Would rather avoid it like the plague. Other "celebrities" are more easily avoided, because there isn't as much of a hubbub surrounding them.

Theres a certain criteria for being my least favorite celebrity
1- Have you been made famous by a Big Brother type show or The Only Way Is Essex type where you display less intelligence than sticking your arm in space unprotected during a meteor shower?
4- Do I hate your music, personality or lack of overall intelligence?
3- If not proceed to the do not care pile.


I don't follow celebrities much due me not caring much about them in their personal lives unless they do something stupid ala Justin Bieber drunk driving or giving me something to make me do a Charlie Brooker

I don't think there's a single celebrity out there that I dislike more than the media that covers them. Personally, I'd love to get the identities of the people who spy on, distort and publish the private lives of these people, and then make their faces, addresses and dark secrets known to the whole world. You hear me, guy with the camera? I'm coming for you.

 

[lacktheknack]

I can only muster "hatred" for Chris Brown, because he fails at apologizing so badly. Like, REALLY badly. Like... he releases a song about a poisonous ex shortly after trying to shove his girlfriend out of a moving car.

Sweet, I was coming in here to say something similar, but I couldn't think of a way to say it this eloquently. Well done.

The whole "celebrity worship" culture just annoys and saddens me.

Its virtually impossible to not like at least one of his songs.

Nonsense. I don't like any of MJ's songs either.
Closest I get is Thriller being "not annoying".

That's the highest praise he ever managed from me.

These guys are a good start:
Jenny McCarthy - Fuck that stupid woman...
Kanye West
Sarah Palin - If she counts.
Anne Coulter - If she counts.
Rush Limbaugh - If he counts.
Kirk Cameron
Justin Bieber
Miley Cyrus
Kardashians
Tom Cruise
Donald Trump
Snooki
Nicki Minaj
Paris Hilton
Piers Morgan
Jedward - Just saw these two irritants on one of the panel shows a few weeks ago. How are they allowed to interact with other people?

 

[Poetic Nova]

To many to name if you ask me. They've either pissed me of or make me wonder how they even have functioning brains.

 

[ThreeName]

Early bird gets the worm, I suppose!

I honestly do not care enough about celebrities to muster anything approaching "hate" or to rank them in any way. If someone rubs me up the wrong way or I don't like their work I avoid their stuff, simple. Plus I've been completely out of the loop in terms of the celebrity scene and pop music etc since I was 18 (when I left school and no longer had friends who cared about this stuff).

If I'm going to have strong negative feelings about a public figure it'll be someone who matters, like a politician or a religious leader. Their idiocy might actually cause some real damage to a lot of people's lives. Shia LaBeouf's latest breakdown/terrible movie/terrible movie about his latest breakdown? Not so much.

Yeah, I'm old and jaded before my time...

Agreed.
Depends on who you count as a celebrity.
Jenny McCarthy is a complete has-been, but her idiocy poses a very real threat to public health, and I genuinely HATE that type of shit.

Most of my list is insufferable people who I'd like sunk to the bottom of the ocean just because the world would be a less annoying place, but I don't actually hate them. They're nowhere near significant enough for the effort of hate.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

My shit list includes Jenny McCarthy (ESPECIALLY for her views on vaccinations, which are bullshit, Justin Beiber, Chris Brown, Tom Cruise and everyone inolved with Jersey Shore and it's ilk, as well as shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
