ITT we express unfashionable sympathy for some otherwise utterly reprehensible celeb.

No. 1 - Kevin Federline

This skinny-assed, corpse-skinned, forune-hunting, he-skank aroused my sympathy when I heard that during a promotional gig for his appalling album ‘Playing With Fire’ in a 1,500 stadium in which only 300 people turned up (though the gig was free), one girl wanted to call her friend so she could get a ride home early and Fed-Ex (as I believe he is now known), noticed this from the stage and with nothing better to do, I guess, lent her the battery from his phone because hers was weak. Somehow it all seems very poignant.

Russel Crowe has a nice smile and people think he is Australian :smiley:

Russell Crowe is an arsehole, and Australians are more than happy to chuck him back over the ditch from whence he came.

:smiley:

I hate to say it, but David Gest (who’s on British TV in “I’m a celebrity get me out of here”) is growing on me. He’s got a wicked sense of humour: last night he was telling a story about his maid, whose name is allegedly Vaginica Semen.

One word: Dancing with the Stars. (The word is stars, there ain’t any)

I *almost *feel sorry for him. How embarassing.

What does ITT mean?

Sailboat

I’m sorry, I thought it was common parlance but perhaps it is only amongst me and a few light-hating buddies on another forum. It means ‘In This Thread’. Essenctialy you use it to say ‘In this thread we discuss the proposition that…’ but just use ‘ITT as shorthand’.

Heidi Fliess used to be really hot, especially when she first got busted and had that strung-out cokehead sallowness in her face.

I feel bad for Paula Poundstone. I hope she gets her career re-started.

By that token you could fancy Giovanni Ribilisi? My goodness, he looks like Gollum. If Gollum had had viral flu for a couple of days. And self-medicated with crumbly, blue Danish chese.

I googled her and looked at her website. She seems to be a comic. What makes - or made her - irredeemable?

Child molesting.

She’s on Wait, wait … don’t tell me on NPR frequently and seems popular with the audience. I still like her as much as I ever did. (That’s not a snarky comment, I do like her.) She sometimes jokes about her past troubles.

She was convicted of child endangerment which she admits to, but the sex related were dropped.

Paris Hilton has very large and not unattractive feet.

Nobody can say we’re not even-handed. If he wins an Oscar then he’s an Australian actor. If he assaults someone then he’s a New Zealand criminal.

Yeah, the problem with Ribisi? Even when he’s looking very well, he looks like utter shit. I hope he doesn’t do as many drugs as it looks like, 'cause he’s a really fantastic actor and I’d hate to see him dead.

I still think Tom Cruise is a really decent actor, and he’s got something besides crazy in his eye. I’d hit that. Mind you, I don’t think he’d hit me, being a chick and all. I don’t think he’s straight, but I think Suri is his and conceived more or less naturally. I think he did whatever the male equivalent of “Brace yourself, Bridget!” is, perhaps with the aid of a fine single malt or eleven. He owed one (1) Scientology brat and had to deliver it before the decade was out. But I think he’s a talented closeted gay actor with a wacky religion who should never have hired his sister as his publicist, not a total nutjob hack.

Michael Richards is very good at comedic double-takes.

I don’t think Prince Charles will be anywhere near as bad a king as everyone seems to think, I don’t think it’s incomprehensible he preferred Camilla to Diana, and I’ve frequently had to remind people that up until recently adultery was practically a job requirement for royalty.
