Aaron Eckhart - I want to curb stomp that smug self satisfied grin.  
George Clooney - You can play George Clooney well, got anything else?  
Sarah Palin - Not as much for her politics (everyone is entitled to their opinion) but for her shrill over accentuated bumpkin speak.  
Sarah Silverman - vindictive isn’t funny.

It took me a long time to really come up with a celebrity I completely loathe.

**50 Cent**.

Fucking waste of airtime. He was nothing when he came on the scene and he’s nothing now. A talent-less hack poser moron with terrible, terrible songs.

Since I really don’t care for a lot of stuff in his genre, I went and YouTubed his music videos to make sure I wasn’t just remembering him with ant-rap bias. No. His music is objectively horrible. He reminds me of a spoiled 14 year old, not a man. And he’s ugly. And I found an interview with him during which he seemed stoned the entire time. Damn you 50 Cent and everything you represent!

/50 cent rage  
Also, **Bill O’Reilly**. That almost goes without saying, right? He’s a despicable human being on so many levels. I don’t even ‘‘love to hate him.’’ I can’t watch his show even for the recreational outrage.

Personally, I love Oprah and always have. Her shows are hit-and-miss nowadays because she does buy into some silly things, but I’ve always respected her greatly for overcoming so much hardship and using her power to try to make a positive difference for others.

I just knew there was something about this guy…

Amy Winehouse bugs the crap out of me. She seems wasting her talent on drugs and cigarettes…

Britney Spears - reason is obvious.

I can’t resist. Could we get a few details about Joan Jett and Hank Williams Jr.? I have absolutely no problem believing that they’re total jerkwads, but this sounds interesting.

I would agree with Chevy Chase’s inclusion, except that I thought he did a really good job in **Fletch** , **Fletch Lives** , and **Dirty Work**. Those movies made me laugh j-u-u-u-st enough not to dislike him totally.

Joe Buck anyone? Listening to him as a football or baseball comentator is enough to make me turn down the TV, turn on the radio and live with the six second delay instead. Every sentence he utters is inflected to the degree that something earth shattering has just happened, but what he actually says is mudane to the point of insomnia. He could be a nice guy, but I guess I hate the way he does his job.

And, then there’s Chris Berman…

Well, look at it this way. If Jews started all the world’s wars, that implies you guys are also responsible for the war for Scottish independence. By the transitive property, we can conclude that Mel Gibson is a Jew. :eek:

Is it just totally cliché at this point to mention Ann Coulter?

I bring her up only because she’s on Fox Noise right now tossing her hollow blonde giraffe-head and braying like a 14th century cardinal about to call an inquisition.

God, what a self-deluded drama queen. I don’t care how many bloody-minded cretins buy her books to get their rocks off (she’s the Danielle Steel of politics, that’s what she is). I wouldn’t piss down this woman’s throat if her guts were on fire.

> 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.

I actually know someone who worked on one of her movie sets and didn’t have that experience. Perhaps she’s just very moody?

Regarding Daniel Moder - I really, really, really think I remember the he either used to post here, or possibly still does, but I can’t remember his poster name. Also, I wouldn’t want to post it here in case he is still active it would probably be oogie to have people dissing his wife. FWIW - I have no idea if JR is a nice person or not - I was just noticing the unflattering posts about her and it made me remember something I read here a long while ago.

Michael Winner - Giant dog turd.

Jamie Oliver - Needs to be punched in the face. (Probably was, a lot, that might explain the lip thing)

Jordan(Katie Pryce)/Peter Andre (Count as one person) - Please please, I’ll start believing in God if they stop being famous.

Mel Gibson. (Nazi Anti-Semite anti-all-things-English) - bag of penises.

David Beckham/Posh Spice - Former, played for a shit football team I hate. later pl… (no)…sun… (no that’s not right either) \*was part \*of a pop band I hate.

For some strange reason this edit missed the edit window…  
Edit: Looking back through the thread I see mention of Woody Allen. What power is that guy yielding that he can still get young attractive hollywood females to gladly associate with him. _still_? I hope when I’m a small thin Jewish weedy limp-wristed annoying whinging whiny brain of a nerdy geeky twelve year old asking for a slap in the face old weedy man I can get young women to like me for no apparent reason.

Used to fly around a production company guy or three and so was ‘all access’ at a lot of venues.

JJ had the worst ‘tude’ of any living woman I have ever been around. Cussed out folks for just being in the room, impossible to please, enjoyed being cruel and what she said about the folks who paid to see her was unbelievable. Total waste of oxygen. I never saw one redeeming thing about her. All the folks that had to work for her were jumpy, cranky and in fear of their jobs constantly.

Now Hank Jr., his band, his road crew were the best. I go to do a lot of his shows and always had a grand time. He would jet in with his Cessna Citation at the last minute, jump on stage, usually higher than a kite and rip through the performance. then act the ass for as long as he was there and then fly off. Only complaints and criticisms for all around.

His pilots were really funny, if the $$$ were not so good, I don’t think he could get anyone to fly for him. They had some cute stories about because once in the air, they were pretty much in control of his well being. Once, he had made them stop on the way to an performance at an big auction and the weather kept getting worse and they kept trying to get him to leave. Well, he finally did and they knew the plane could take it so they just sorta forgot to make an issue of using the seat belts. Hank and his right hand Colonel just started drinking and goofing as usual and then they hit the turbulence. Threw them all around the cabin it did. they said that from then on, when they said it was time to go, he did not stall them around… 😃

Just an arrogant performer. The Rock an Road crew and the band members treated the little guys very well, they were the best. Had a blast with them… ( the band members and the young groupies, well, that was business as usual, not my business.

Absolutely the best performer and band and crew, from my perspective was the Reba bunch before they took their production ‘in house’. I did not like country music either but that whole group is a class act. Lots of other good acts too and some really bad ones.

Other memorable acts for one reason or the other:

Willy Nelson.  
Stryper (sp)  
Cheap Trick  
Chicago  
Alabama  
Waylen Jennings  
All this was back in the late 80’s …

Funny. Did she forget she was _Joan Jett?_

I was Shenandoah’s driver for a show they did for my fraternity in college. I’m not a country music fan but these guys were super cool and fun to hang out with. I’d buy one of their CDs just because how nice they were.

one that’s been mentioned already: jeremy piven. he seems like such a narcissistic asshole, and he’s neither interesting nor funny in interviews, and his hair plugs are bad.

one that hasn’t (i don’t think): will smith. everyone else in the world seems to adore him. i don’t like his acting, i don’t think he’s funny, i never liked his music, and he just seems so… fake. there’s something about him that’s just not at all genuine.
