This is pretty much my list, or at least my type of list. (need to add Alec Baldwin).
But the “winner” is Jane Fonda.
[/QUOTE]
Same list for me, as well. I couldn’t care less about celebrities’ political opinions…it’s the lecturing I can’t stand.
I hate Kevin Bacon. There is no reason, he just irritates me and I don’t like his face.
But I absolutely despise the aforementioned Scientology crowd (Travolta, Cruise, Elfman, etc). Ugh, I won’t see a movie with Cruise or Travolta ever again. And when I hear of a celeb who has embraced Scientology I add them onto the list.

Bill W…Give up on your alcoholism and trade it in for sex addiction so that you fuck every vulnerable woman that comes under your wing. Well done. You role model.
[/QUOTE]
Who is that?
Bill Wyman?
Good list. Most of these people need a clip 'round the earhole.
Add Pete Daughterty, Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, and Rosie O’Donnell.

Dixie Chicks. They creep me out just because in EVERY PICTURE I EVER FUCKIN SEE OF THEM, the short chubby girl always places herself in the middle. Always. That’s so not natural.
[/QUOTE]
That is pretty normal, in nearly all professional group photos, if one person is significantly shorter than everybody else they are placed in the middle.
I can’t stand Luke Wilson. When me and my ex saw him, she asked if she could have his autograph. He threw a taco at her and called her a slut.

Word on that one.
For celebrities I don’t like, can I add a sports figure?
Doc Ellis was a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates late '60s/early '70s. During the '71 season (they eventually won the World Series that year), I managed to get everyone’s autograph from that squad. Except Ellis.
One day, about an hour or so before the game actually started, my friends and I (all in grade school) were in the stands on the third base line. Ellis was tossing the ball back and forth with someone else (Ritchie Hebner? Manny Sanguillen? I can’t remember) and we asked him for autographs. He just looked at us, spit on the ground in our direction, and stuck out his tongue at us. What an ass.
Tom Cruise: As others have said, it’s his Scientology nuttery. I’ll give Legend another viewing, mainly because I haven’t seen it all the way through yet, but that’s the last of his films I’ll ever watch.
John Travolta: I’ll only watch him in Pulp Fiction because that movie is six kinds of awesome. For the rest of it, well, it’s the nuttery again.
Britney Spears: Chick needs serious mental help and a permanent vacation from fame. I refuse to participate in the vulturish deathwatch.
Sarah Jessica Parker: She is the most unattractive woman I’ve ever seen. I can’t watch her in anything.
Michael Jackson: Kiddie fiddling and accusations thereof are not a way to endear yourself to the future. I have a hard time watching his old videos because I can’t forget what he became.

It also makes sense when the short girl also happens to be the lead singer – the one with the lovely, signature voice.
Oh, and Barbra Streisand, John Irving and Norman Mailer.

Yes. And that’s a fact.
(Need to emphasize this, couse uneducated people might suspect there’s some stereotyping going on here.)
[QUOTE=RikWriter]
Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Robert Redford, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, Spike Lee, Vincent D’Onofrio and a few others.
It would be easier to list the actors I DON’T dislike for personal reasons.
[/QUOTE]
Partially ditto. It’s politics, although I can tolerate Robert Redford, and Spike Lee and Vincent D’Onofrio are barely on my radar. I will watch Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption, but Susan Sarandon is off my Christmas card list forever, and I haven’t liked Sean Penn since his marriage to Madonna.
Richard Wagner was bitterly anti-Semitic. I like his music but hate him.
Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect but a cheapskate with a huge ego who left his wife and kids for another woman. I love his work but hate him.
Andrew Jackson (OK, not an “entertainer”) stood up to the South Carolina nullificationists and thus forestalled the Civil War by decades, but pursued a policy against the Indians that can only be described as genocidal. A very mixed legacy; don’t think he should be on the $20 bill anymore.
Michael Jackson… 'nuff said.
Ashley Judd was smokin’ hawt in her Star Trek: The Next Generation appearances but nowadays strikes me as a totally phony, self-centered publicity hound. Don’t know why, she just does.
Michael Jackson: for well, you know.
Maggie Gyllenhaal: for refusing to sit down and discuss, one on one, our differences, rationally, without resorting to tantrums.

As much I hate romantic comedies, can I see one fucking movie with her where she isn’t menaced by a psychosexual weirdo with a knife? What kind of creepy masochism thing does she have going on, anyway?

I think Ashley’s agent is trying to tell us all something.

No story, just another mentally deranged fan. 
I’m on the Tom Cruise list too. I can still watch Risky Business and enjoy it, but I tend to avoid anything else he’s made. Between the Scientology and all the “young hotshot” roles he grew so, so tiresome. And crazy.
Besides, he threw back Mimi Rogers! I mean, come on. Sure Nicholle is hot and all but…Mimi!
I also can’t stand Charlie Daniels. He’s an ultraconservative, homophobic creationist who, IMHO only ever made one entertaining song.

IIRC, Ellis was doing drugs pretty heavily during his career.

As far as I know, he dropped acid a few times and smoked some weed. He was treated pretty badly by “fans” and the press, who castigated his hair style choices.
He supposedly threw a no-hitter under the influence of LSD. He became a drug counselor after retiring from baseball.
