Ryan Seacrest.
I have an irrational visceral hatred of Ryan Seacrest.
I think the world will end before 2013, now that Dick Clark is gone, because having Ryan Seacrest do the countdown will open the black hole predicted by the Maya prophecy, destroying us all.
Many consider her a politician but she’s a celeb to me…Sarah Palin.
Louie Spence. Grown men that behave like 12 year old girls irritate the hell out of me.
This is the only person mentioned who I actually mind if she disappeared. I don’t understand why people hate the asshole comedian type only if they are female. Same goes for Kathy Griffin haters.
But I want to come up with someone new, anyways. It’s hard to come up with someone who is both an asshole and doesn’t do even remotely good work and who isn’t already pretty much washed up. I’d go with Dave Letterman, but apparently a lot of people actually think he’s funny, and at least he’s never hurt anyone. So I’ll go with his even more evil counterpart:
Jay Leno. And, to think, 10 years ago, I thought I’d never dislike him.
Dr. Oz may have been a fine cardiologist, but ever since Oprah gave him a bully pulpit, he’s gone far off the deep end promoting faith healing and other pseudo-science woo-woo. Then there was the apple juice thing where the FDA gave him a smackdown, and every so often, he throws he vitamin industry into a tizzy by touting some weird extract or micronutrient.
Pippa Middleton and her non-existant bottom.
Dr. Phil is worse than both of these two narcissistic, hypocritical assholes put together…
OP checking back. I’m fine with the choices, but wish I had limited it further to celebrities who are generally assumed to have talent beyond just being rich & famous (Kim Kardashian is way too easy) and excluded political figures (ditto Sarah Palin).
My choice is Aziz Ansari. This guy is not funny in any form I can observe, and has gone with “deliberately annoying idiot” as his signature character trait for the roles he plays. That mugging American Express commerical was the last straw. Better to end this now than let him become the comedy atrocity he’s destined to be.
Well played.
Angelina Jolie.
Seconded. Not to mention that you can thank Ryan Seacrest for the Kardashians as he is the executive producer of their show(s).
Jennifer Aniston. Find a Brad Pitt lookalike, have a baby and go away.
Woody Allen
I second it!. Although it’s been really nice since she’s off network TV.
Jack Black
Tori Spelling. Her continued existence does nothing except waste our planet’s dwindling resources.
Dr. Oz is turning into Kevin Trudeau. I admit I generally am entertained by Dr. Oz, but there’s always a list of things you are expected to run out to buy - blueberries! green tea! exotic vitamins and supplements! - if you want to live to be 120 years old. Dr. Oz: people eat organic vegetarian diets from year one and STILL get sick no matter how much green tea or acai berry juice they pound down.
I nominate every starlet who gets knocked up and, as per 9 out of 10 AO Smell headlines, ‘flaunts her baby bump, wearing stilettoes and a skimpy bikini’.
I want to make a preemptive strike on the insurance commercial mascots before they get a chance to become real celebs. Flo, the fucker in the white jump suit and red hard hat, Dennis Haybert, the guy with the vanishing deductible (Nationwide), well, to hell with all of them.
ahh yes; if only there was a rule that faux-lebrities could not exist.
Also, regarding Pauly Shore; why bother making him go away? He’s kind of already gone without the SDMB magical powers to make a celebrity disappear. He’s in a special safe house along with Kato Kaelin, Jesse Camp, Andy Dick; and too many more to mention (although that might be a fun thread).
