Woody Allen, unless your definition of "entertainment"stretches to O J Simpson, in which case, no fucking contest whatsoever. ---

I nominate [Suge Knight](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suge_Knight), who is probably more responsible for promoting gang violence through rap music than any other individual. A truly reprehensible dude. I give Miley a pass for now, since she’s still just a kid who’s being raised by a pair of idiots who happened into a shitload of money. They are the real-life Beverly Hillbillies. Lots of 17-year-olds act like entitled little bitches; they just don’t do it in front of the whole world. Not that I guarantee she’ll become a better person when she grows up, but I’m reserving judgement for now. ---

Larry King, for being the most lightweight, fatuous, uninformed, superficial interviewer ever while at the same time being treated as some kind of news icon. I remember a segment about him on public radio in which he boasted about not preparing for interviews. I really loved that segment in which Jerry Seinfeld busted on him for interviewing him as if he knew nothing about the guy. “Can we get him a copy of my resume?” **Bosda** , what do you know about Gabe Kaplan? ---

What about all the parasites who work on the entertainment “news” shows (ET, The Insider, TMZ etc.) who feed off of the asshole antics of actual stars (or at least the people who pass for “stars” in our pathetically celebrity-obsessed society) while pretending to be reporters and real journalists… Fuck the Billy Bushes and Deborah Norvilles of the world!!!
