As an old school hip hop fan, this new generation of “artistes” tend to grate on me. Li’l Wayne strikes me as dull and stupid. He is unpleasant to look at and his schtick with the guitar is laughably bad. Kanye West has some talent, but his outsized ego, tantrum-throwing, and most recent transgressions against the hearing community (his auto-tuned enhanced “singing”) makes me want to slap those stupid white glasses off his face. All of the bimbo-ed up pop tarts that come into public view every five years or so. American Idol runners-up who somehow get undeserved fame. Kelli Pickler, that Constantine guy, and so on. **Nzinga,** not having a go at you… but Timberlake, Usher, and Beyonce I think have a great deal of star quality… it’s good to see people rise to the top because they had to bust their asses to get there, isn’t it? Better that than more Kelly Osbornes. I was the world’s biggest Timberlake hater, but after seeing his SNL appearances and his performance in _Alpha Dogs_, I’m transformed into an appreciator of his talents. I won’t buy his records though. Usher I once saw on an episode of “Punk’d” when his brother pretended to get busted for shoplifting. He just seemed very real and you could tell he was raised right (and was about to whup little bro’s ass for acting like he had no home training). ---

> [@Trocisp](#): > > I can’t believe no one has said Jenny McCarthy. > Lets not vaccinate our children, that way they can die from a variety of diseases, and if we don’t vaccinate enough of them even those children who **do** get vaccinated are put at risk! Oh, GOOD ONE. I hate her so much for her stupid, wacked out ideas about autism and vaccination. And I also hate everyone who takes the dumb bimbo seriously…yes, that means I also hate The Almighty Oprah for giving nutty people like her a platform. Sarah Silverman just isn’t funny to me, so her obnoxiousness grates on me. Roseanne (Barr) used to be funny and the early years of her sitcom were classic, but since the only time I hear about her now it’s about her writing incoherent blog rants, I now just think of her as an angry lunatic (so I guess she doesn’t qualify by the OP’s standard of total dislike, but, man, I DO dislike her an awful lot now!) I despise Michael Moore for being intellectually dishonest and manipulative. Being forced to watch “Bowling for Columbine” in a college class actually galvanized me into developing pro-gun rights views (whereas before I had been merely indifferent to the issue). ---

Oprah. She never saw a camera that she didn’t jump right in front of. No matter how hard I try to avoid her, there’s always an ad for her show just before Jeopardy. “Next time on Oprah: Oprah! With special guest star Oprah!!” ---

> [@Atomicflea](#): > > Terrence Howard. Every interview makes me think “what a prick”. He has no redeeming value. He ruins every second of _Iron Man_ that he’s onscreen. [Jamie Foxx agrees with you](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPIDBEaoov4). This was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. My list is looooong: - Pretty much anyone who is currently a part of the Bush administration with the exception of Condoleeza Rice, who has a special clause attached - Everyone connected with McCain/Palin '08 - Mike Huckabee for being not just a tool, but a tool not smart enough to president of the Toadspit, AR idiot’s league, let alone of the whole country - Angelina Jolie for so many reasons - Brad Pitt for blathering on about his _adulterous_ love for the above at the start of their relationship - Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Priscilla Presley, Jason Lee, Ethan Supplee, Jenna Elfman and all the other big-name, high visibility Clams - Just about all political talking heads who were on the news shows yacking this year in the lead-up to the election, with the extreme exception of Ms. Donna Brazile - Margaret Cho for selling out her bi sisters - Cathy Dennis for penning that piece of trash “I Kissed a Girl” - Katy Perry for singing it - Everyone related to the creation, publicizing or public airplay of “Barack the Magical Negro” - People at the healthclub I just went to check out who looked at me like I’m mildew on the shower floor because I’m fat and want to exercise - Beyonce for spreading really ass-backwards notions of modern femininity and intergender relations through the lyrics of her insanely catchy songs - Jenny McCarthy, not for her autism/indigo children/vaccination stuff, but for those awful pregnancy books she wrote - On the same lines, whoever the wretched people are who wrote “What to Expect when You’re Expecting” and “The Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy” who need to burn in the same fires as the Ezzos and Ferber ---

> [@Linty\_Fresh](#): > > And Julia Roberts. Everything I’ve read by or about her makes her out to be a truly repulsive person. Really? Like what? For me, it’s Barbra Streisand and Susan Sarandon, mainly for their political views. I’ve lost respect for Brad Pitt for cheating on and leaving Jennifer Aniston. I think he even admitted to Oprah that he didn’t think he was the type of guy who could stay married for the rest of his life. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > Really? Like what? Roberts is rumored to be absolutely awful to work with on the set. Clashes with directors, crew, and assistants (The crew nicknamed her “Tinkerhell” on the set of **Hook**. She started an affair with her current husband Daniel Moder while he was still married, and when Daniel’s wife wouldn’t grant him a divorce, Roberts tried to humiliate her by wearing derogatory T-Shirts. Kind of weird. She’s also a lousy actress IMHO. ---

Many worthy puke-inducing celebs have already been listed. I don’t know if I’m out there in the wilderness by myself on this one, but I cannot stand **John Corbett**. Maybe I can’t separate him from his acting roles ( **Northern Exposure** –self-satisfied douchebag; **Sex and the City** \*\*–self-satisfied douchebag). But a contributing factor for sure is his half-mouthed, too cool voice. I loathe his Applebee’s voice-over, and the fact that I immediately recognized his self-satisfied voice when I first saw the ad only adds to my loathing. He speaks out of the side of his mouth, like Kenny G playing the . . . sax? (Whatever the hell it is he plays.) \*\*Anyone who thought he and Carrie belonged together is deranged!! Er, this is IMHO, right? ---

The only celebs who inspire gnashing of teeth and hurling profanity at the television are **Mel Gibson** and **Kellie Pickler**. Sometimes **Mariah Carey**. Everyone else I can either tolerate or ignore for short periods. ---

He just seemed very real and you could tell he was raised right (and was about to whup little bro’s ass for acting like he had no home training). Have a go at me, Hippy. Just bring it, daddy, cause I am prepared to defend my ridiculous opinion to the death. I don’t think that Beyonce, Usher or Timberlake has that ‘sparkle’ that comes with a ‘natural’ star quality. I can’t put my finger on it, but it is an effortless ease with the cameras, and when the lights come on, they just shine. I believe this quality is not dependant on talent or hard work…and it is the kind of thing that often makes one person stand out from the group; Like the Supremes. It wasn’t that Diana Ross was soooo beautiful and her voice was sooo strong that propelled her to stardom from the other girls. It was that she had that ‘it’ factor. Some people don’t have that ‘it’ factor, but have so much undeniable talent, that it doesn’t really matter. But when someone has neither ‘it’ factor, nor great talent, but they have blind ambition, like Timberlake, Usher etc…they tend to also develop some sort of asshole muscle that I notice. I know it’s stupid, and it is sounding stupider to my own ears with every word I type. I did see Timberlake on SNL and think he is always funny on there. I agree about Lil Wayne, Soulja boy and all the rest of those fools. ---

I thought the book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” was very helpful when I was pregnant. What’s wrong with it??? I want to add: Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Rumer Willis. But especially Ashton Kutcher. He looks like a homeless bum stumbling around in that camera commercial, and high as a kite to boot. And I actually shuddered watching his awful Punk’d show, I HATE that kind of humiliation. Not funny.
