Maybe their religious views throw you off, or aspects of their personal life are weird, or they just plain creep you out. All you know is that you hate them for being them, not because their acting/singing/whatever sucks or does not suck.
To start it off, Amy Winehouse. Good GOD I hate that woman soooo much, and I have never heard any of her music, and hopefully never will. Why it’s so cool to be drugged out and slurring all the damn time, I’ll never know. Apparently even her own fans have had enough of her, as she often gets booed off the stage at her own damn concerts! And I really, REALLY hate that stupid eyeliner thing she does, and her weirdo, “sort-of-beehive but not really and just looks retarded” hairdo she has most of the time.

Woody Allen tops my list.

Tom Cruise. There may be others but they don’t bother me nearly as much. Scientology plus hubris but what looks like limitless ego. ugh.

Same here. Every picture I see of him and Katie just creeps me out; he always has a good grip on her arm or the back of her neck. I can’t even watch his older movies anymore.

Joe Peschi. I don’t _hate_ him but I do harbor some loathing based on his threatening to beat up Sinead O’Connor for ripping up a picture of the Pope on SNL in protest of the RCC cover-up of sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy. I used to harbor some ill will toward Frank Sinatra for threatening her when she, a citizen of a nation other than the US, didn’t want the US anthem played at one of her concerts, but he’s dead now.

I have an irrational hatred for Gavin McLeod.

I used to be a big Matt Damon fan until the second Bourne movie. But he made Julia Stiles cry in that one, and now I hate him with all of my being. (Hey, you didn’t say it had to be a _rational_ reason.)

Zach Braff.
I have NO idea why, as I’ve never seen Scrubs, or much of anything else he’s been in. Just seeing his picture irritates the crap out of me.
Really strange.

Michael Jackson. Even though he was never convicted in a court of law, the whole cloud around him is unbearably creepy. And this all has nothing to do with his body of work.

Speaking of which I’m surprised no one has mentioned Roman Polanksi. This isn’t another case of “ooooh I can’t believe I’m the first to mention this”, because I don’t particularly hate or like his work one way or the other due to his past.

**Cybil Shepherd**. She was filming an episode of “Moonlighting” at my elementary school way back in the day, and she was a total bitch to a small group of us who were doing nothing but standing many feet away watching her get her makeup put on.
I have despised her ever since.

Michael McDonald. My MadTV watching has become a lot less enjoyable since he was a complete ass to me.
Tom Cruise. Mostly for the reasons other posters stated.
Mel Gibson. Nutcase, drunk driving racist.
I’m sure there’s more, but those 3 should cover it for now.

[QUOTE=Laura Mercy]
I hate Mia Farrow for dumping on Woody Allen, calling him a perv. It was an obvious cheap shot of revenge because he fell in love with her n-th adopted daughter. That’s something that was clearly false but he had no way to disprove.
And she acts all innocent herself, catigating the poor girl, pretending to forget she was a child bride and homewrecker in her early days herself.
[/QUOTE]
WHEN was Mia a “child bride?” She was 21 when she married the then-single Frank Sinatra and 25 when she married Andre Previn. Child Bride indeed.
She had no previous relationship with any of her two husbands’ relatives.
The chld abuse investigation stated there was “probably evidence” that Woody Alllen did molest four year old Dylan Farrow. The courts declared him unfit to visit Dylan, his other adopted child Moses stated he wanted nothing to do with Allen, and Woody Allen himself refused to visit his biological son Seamus unless the visits included unsupervised time with Dylan. That was when the judge decided to against court ordered visitation.

Joan Lunden - I’ve never seen her on a show, but I hate, hate, hate her. She strikes me as the ultimate phoney.
Comepletely irrational hate - Charles Burbridge from Design on a Dime. He just rubs me the wrong way.

Woody Allen is a sick bastard if for nothing else that he later had sex with and married a girl he was a father figure to when she was nine. That makes him a perv even if he did nothing else.
Mine is Bill Murray- seeing his pathetic ass in the audience at the Oscars clearly pissed becasue he didn’t win for his shit acting in a shit movie.

Ben Stein [put his son in a boarding school](http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/features/40820/Ben_Stein_vs_EverCrack.html) because his son played too much Everquest. I can’t respect a man who can’t come up with a solution like “take the computer out of your son’s bedroom” and has to ship his child away over a video game.
