I agree 100%. Someone with very little talent and pleasant looking before the weight loss and hack of a boob job, though not super attractive, all of a sudden became the most sought-after celebrity in the world because she married a (talented and much better-looking) bloke? She is horrifying to look at. There is nothing remotely attractive about her. At all.
I would also add Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. Again, modestly talented people who let it all go to their heads. Okay, Mariah is incredibly talented, but doesn’t know how to convey all of that into goodwill.
Celine Dion sucks for inventing that vapid, dull, suicide-provoking brand of music that gets played in malls and doctor’s offices.
The Oprah tipping point for me was when she came out with the Oprah magazine… and decided she needed to be on every cover. Hell, even Martha Stewart doesn’t appear on all of her covers. Oprah could have opted to put some deserving viewer on the cover every month… but no, she wants you to see her, in case you forget what the “O” stands for.
Stephen Harper. I was a political enemy of Jean Chretien and Paul Martin, but Stephen Harper is someone I profoundly loathe. God help us if he gets a majority; imagine that economic statement at the beginning of the Short Parliament, then four years of that. He doesn’t want to defeat his opponents, he wants to destroy them. And that’s not even getting into his designs on human rights, medicare, and really the whole social and democratic contract in this country.
Bob Stoops. For being a douchebag and getting in to the BCS champ game, despite the fact that Texas beat his team by 10 on a neutral field.
Roger Clemens. Two years ago a lock for the HOF… and now a washed-up, lying sack of shit. I always hated him anyway but even more now.
Brett Favre. Don’t care about the Interception Machine one way or the other, but the way he puts himself above the team - both in GB and NY - is despicable.
Isiah Thomas. Douchebag, horrible GM, and blames everyone else for his shortcomings.
He’s a lying liar who is willing to fuck with an entirely functional parliamentary system and malign an entire demographic of voters to get his own way, like a spoiled, petulant two year old. And I’m not even from 'round there. He’s just sort of internationally loathsome.
Oh, I don’t mind how she talks. I think it is more of a Southern accent than a ghetto one, but I don’t mind ghetto accents a bit.
Her singing is all wrong to my ears. It killed me to know she would do Etta James in Cadillac Records. (saw Etta live last spring at the Casino in Niagara Falls. Whoa!). It killed me, because I knew she got that part through her raw ambition and tireless march toward success in Hollywood, but she does not have the strong voice for the role! Etta would never chop songs to bits with pointless, trembling, wobbling vocal gymnastics. She would sing out clear, deep and strong.
However! If one does want to do some vocal gymnastics, I’m all for it. Hold your freakin’ lips still and stop wiggling them all over, and let the amazing wavering resonate from your throat, as the incomparable Denyce Gravescan show her how to do it.
Now to say something nice about Beyonce. She is stunning to look at.
I used to admire Oprah, before she became totally full of herself. Especially when she gets into her condescending new-agey crap, substituting the word “Universe” for “God,” and insisting she’s not talking about religion . . . while a huge crucifix is hanging from her neck. Not too long ago, I heard her ask Dr. Oz whether we are close to God when we’re asleep. Ewwww.
And then there’s Donald Trump: I loathe everything about him. And OMFG, that hair.
Ted Nugent. Even though he is much beloved by most in the pro-gun community, I can’t stand him. He’s a fucking draft-dodging chickenhawk just for starters. His pro-gun rantings turn more people against gun rights than Rosie O’Donnell ever did. I hope he slips into a coma and never awakens.
Jack Black. I’ve never seen him in anything where I didn’t want to put him in a burlap sack and beat him with a baseball bat until I got too tired to swing anymore.
I saw an ad for CSI:Miami last night and it reminded me that I cannot STAND David Caruso. How DARE you leave NYPD Blue, not that I hold grudges or anything.
