I don’t know anything about Miley Cyrus except that she publically disavowed Facebook (or was it Twitter) a few months back. What’s so bad about her? ---

The only “awful” thing I know about him is that he’s big-headed enough that he took out an [injunction](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_(TV_network)#Spike_Lee_lawsuit) against the Spike network for using “his” name. ---

Dieter Bohlen - arrogant, misogynistic, botox-faced, fugly-voiced bag of douche who is responsible for some of the very WORST music of the last 25 years. Apparently beat his ex-wife too. That turd is also a judge on the German “Idol” show, and known for his harsh putdowns of singers competing there. If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to hear any Modern Talking, you will understand the cruel irony in this. The guy who came up with this garbage has the nerve to call _anyone else_ a bad singer or musician? Seriously? Christ on a bike. And then this quote - “Man, I’m the greatest German composer!” BARF. You’re _not_. What you are, however, is a smarmy, slimey prick who has figured out how to make a shit-ton of money with the trashiest, shittiest audio-pollution known to humankind. all while being a giant, grotesque Summer’s Eve. Fuck off. Why yes, I can’t fucking stand that guy. ---

Michael Lohan. He’s not in entertainment but I see his gob in connection with it enough, saying shit to keep himself in the spotlight, that he needs to get one of those 4-foot tall trophies for “Most Awful Person,” then someone needs to beat him to within an inch of his life with it. ---

Charlie Sheen wrote an imaginary conversation with President Obama in which he flatly stated that Ted Olson lied about his final telephone call from his wife Barbara moments before she died when Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. He claimed this was impossible because there was no record of such a call from her cellphone, and that American Airlines confirmed that their Boeing 757’s did not have onboard phones. His source for this statement was a book called _Debunking 9/11 Debunking_ by fellow truther David Ray Griffin. Trouble was, Griffin was wrong and [admitted it](http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17659.htm) more than two years before Sheen wrote his imaginary conversation. Among other things, Griffin realized his error when he saw [this 1998 photo](http://www.airliners.net/photo/0020665/L) of an AA 757. His error stemmed from a 2004 phone call made by two colleagues which confirmed that AA did not have onboard phones on 757’s. They didn’t - _in 2004_. Onboard phones were discontinued in 2002; they were very much in use in September of 2001. So to further a pet 9/11 truther theory, Charlie Sheen publicly, smugly, and wrongly called Ted Olson a liar about the last telephone converation he ever had with his wife moments before she was murdered in one of the most horrible ways imaginible. ---

I think too many people are confusing “annoying” with “awful.” Most of the people listed have done many annoying things, but very few have done truly awful things. Only OJ, Woody & Roman by my count. ---

Only OJ, Woody & Roman by my count. Nah. Those are evil things. Awful is much softer term. When I say the fajitas I had at Chili’s last night were awful, I’m not making a comparison in terms of magnitude with rape and murder. Jack-in-the-Box’s double bacon cheeseburger on the other hand. . . ---

A short list of stuff he’s done: [ul] [li]Gave cocaine to recovering addict Brynn Hartman, who relapsed into addiction, went batshit insane, and killed her husband (Phil Hartman) and herself five months later.[/li][li]Was the last person seen in the company of David Strickland before he killed himself. So, that’s two suicides on his CV.[/li][li]Got forcibly thrown out of **Jimmy Kimmel Live** after repeatedly touching Ivanka Trump inappropriately.[/li][li]Exposed himself onstage at a comedy club in Canada[/li][li]Cited for pissing on the sidewalk in Columbus, Ohio.[/li][li]Arrested for sexual battery after pulling down the top of a 17-year-old girl, exposing her breasts.[/li][li]Apparently caused the divorce of Mo Collins.[/li][li]Arrested just a few months ago for sexual abuse, after repeatedly grabbing a man’s crotch at a bar in West Virginia.[/li][/ul] Like they said earlier, he lives up to his name. ---
