> [@Jennshark](#): > > Scarlet Johannson(sp?). I can’t stand her vapid blank face and adendoidal whispery voice; I’ve never understood why she’s lauded as a great actress and one of the most beautiful people in the world. The only role she was good in was _Ghost World_, and that’s because she played a vapid, bland-faced teen. Yes! My thoughts exactly. Full disclosure: although I have to admit that I thought she was good, and outside her usual character, in her brief scene in “Hail Caesar” (the pregnant in a mermaid costume bit). It’s the only time I’ve ever seen her make a face that wasn’t her usual “big dumb fish” blank stare, and ironic that she does it while playing a swimmer who plays a mermaid. TC Which makes me wonder- is a mermaid a mammal, what with horizontal flukes and all, or a mammal-fish hybrid? ---

This is a freaking brilliant post! Thanks for the hearty guffaw 😃 I’d go with mermaids as a mammal-fish hybrid. ---

It’s funny, because at least 2/3rds of these are: “I hate this celebrity for the following rational reasons”. I thought this was about celebrities you hate IRRATIONALLY. Hating them because they’re an untalented hack or would be unpleasant to be around or have done despicable things isn’t irrational, it’s rational. Hating an actor because they were in the movie you were watching that time your sister poured coke on your head and everyone laughed at you, that’s irrational. Hating them because you there’s just something about them that you can’t explain, that’s irrational. ---

> [@Jennshark](#): > > Not so irrational: Woody Allen. Used to love him until he boinked and married his own step-daughter. Yick, just yick. Well then, I have good news for you. You can go back to loving him because: [ul][li]Soon Yi was never Woody Allen’s step-daughter. Woody not only was never married to Mia Farrow but the two never even lived together. Soon Yi only saw him occasionally when he came over to visit his Mia or his own kids. She herself has called the idea that Woody was her father laughable and stated that Andre Previn was her father.[/ul][/li] [ul][li] Soon Yi was the aggressor in instigating the romance. In fact, she was the same age that Mia Farrow was when Mia similarly set her sights on seducing Frank Sinatra, which of course led to their marriage.[/ul][/li] [ul] [li]The romance between Woody and Mia Farrow had run its course and they were pretty much going through the motions by the time the Soon Yi/Woody Allen romance began. The worst Woody Allen did was fall in love with the adult adopted daughter of his not-so-much-anymore girlfriend.[/li][/ul] ---

The worst thing was taking Mia to court as an “unfit mother” and suing for custody of “their” three children. He lost dramatically, not even getting visitation with them. ---

Is it irrational to hate Channing Tatum, or Tatum Channing? Because his eyes are too close together and he has sticking out ears, like Mr. Potato Head? And he was being pushed pushed pushed a few years ago as the savior of the movie business? He’s a POTATO HEAD, for crying out loud. My daughter says she can’t even picture what he looks like because he has ‘generic man-face’ - I agree. ---

In the spirit of what I think the thread is trying to get to, I’ll add Will Ferrel. I know he’s a nice guy and he often does generous things, but I just don’t like him. I don’t have any good reason not to like him, so I feel bad about it. ---

I have 3 (some are more irrational than others): Josh Peck–this one isn’t too irrational, as it stems from the time I met him and he was a total [make up your own creative word for “douchebag” here] Britt Robertson–she seems like she’s a good actress, but, for whatever reason, all the characters I’ve seen her play have made me turn off the TV less than halfway through (even when it’s just on as background noise) Dove Cameron–I’ve loved her work, but I’ve seen her on some talk shows and there’s just something about her that makes me wish I never heard her name before. I’m not sure what it is, as she seems perfectly nice and whatnot, and she’s a great actress, but I would turn down a free meal at my favorite restaurant if the stipulation was that I had to eat it in her company. ---

> [@CaptMurdock](#): > > Jennifer Coolidge. Not only is she about as easy on the eyes as rectal surgery, she is _ **not funny.** _ Period. That horrible accent she affects on _2 Broke Girls_ makes me want stick hot knitting needles through my eardrums. Everything about _2 Broke Girls_ makes me want to smash every TV set in the known universe. How was that show ever successful? I tuned in once, because the weekly description had something about them baking cupcakes for a bar mitzvah, and I watch any show with a Jewish plot. That episode was so bad, it was almost anti-Semitic. About a year later, I was home sick, and flipping channels, and said to myself “the whole show can’t really be that bad, can it?” so I watched two more episodes, and it was. However, I’ve been watching Jennifer Coolidge since she was one of Jerry Seinfeld’s girlfriends. She’s 56 years old. I think she looks pretty good for 56. She’s playing a character about 15 years younger than she actually is on 2BG, and I think she pulls it off. She was also Monica’s annoying fake British friend on _Friends_ and I thought she was hilarious when she did that. I think the hate is just general hate for _2 Broke Girls_ I hate the 2 women who star on it, and I couldn’t even tell you their names. I’m trying hard not to lose respect for Garrett Morris. > [@Jennshark](#): > > I always disliked Robin Williams. I don’t find frantic ADHD amusing. Me too. Hate of 1,000 burning suns, more like. And that’s actually frantic cocaine overdose, I think. > [@madsircool](#): > > Woody couldn’t marry a Jewish girl because they don’t believe in sex after marriage. Yes, we do. 😕 ---

I irrationally like Mark Wahlberg because he’s in my favorite movie (I Heart Huckabee’s) and funny statistics memes. He did a terrible thing, it’s hard to tell if he’s reformed, and I’ve hated celebrities for far less.
