> [@dalej42](#): > > No mention of Ted Nugent? Nugent’s “career” now consists of spouting off attention-whoring right-wing crackpot opinions. He only plays music on the side. In any case, I can’t say he’s really despised. Aside from a few aging Teabaggers who remember his 70s heyday and still rabidly listen to everything that comes out of his mouth, I think the feeling he mostly arouses is pity. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > I’ve rewarded myself by never seeing a Woody Allen film “Ick” doesn’t being to cover it. He is an absolute psychopath. Woody Allen fell in love with his girlfriend’s daughter. It happens. He and Mia Farrow were not married and had never been married, and Soon-Yi was neither Allen’s daughter nor stepdaughter. Allen and Soon-Yi never had a father/daughter type of relationship either. Allen had only known Soon-Yi a few months before their romance began, and they never lived together because Allen and Farrow maintained separate residences throughout their relationship and never lived together themselves. Further, Allen and Soon-Yi are still together some twenty-odd years later, so it seems to have been for real…for both of them. > [@Tamerlane](#): > > Conservative ideologues despise Sarandon for her fairly vocal politics - think an updated version of the ire Jane Fonda inspired. Her and Tim Robbins were something of the prototypical liberal power couple in Hollywood for several years and it got under some folks skins. Note also that most of the women (on TV, anyway) who despise Arnold Schwarzenegger absolutely love Bill Clinton, whose transgressions against women are ginormous compared to those of Schwarzenegger. So yes, politics plays a role on both sides: Fonda/Sarandon (and to that I’d add Robbins and Striesand) are disliked by conservatives for their politics, and IMO much of the ire directed toward Schwarzenegger is due to his being a Republican - even though in truth he’s much more centrist than ideologue. ---

I don’t know how much of a career she has these days (I recently saw her perform on the X-Factor), but most women across the board despise LeAnn Rimes for stealing, and thus far keeping, another woman’s husband. It also doesn’t help that she’s always in the media rubbing the (psycho) ex’s nose in things, but yeah, she is pretty hated. ---

You think that after choroforming the guy, stuffing him in a bag, then tying him up in her basement, the FBI would caught on by now. 😛 Or do you mean the other woman’s husband _voluntarily_ left the woman? ---

You know, it’s no God damned wonder why the National Fucking Inquirer (et al) continue to sell their fucking shit. Even supposedly intelligent people on a “fighting ignorance” message board give a shit about so-called celebrities and their personal lives. I’m dumbfounded: perhaps even gobsmacked. ---
