1. Oprah Winfrey 2. Betty White Love them with all my heart AND MORE. 1. Paris Hilton I don’t feel the hate for Paris. I even like one of her songs. 1. Anderson Cooper He’s hot. 1. Kim Kardashian I dunno. I don’t really like her but I like her better than the remaining people on the list. 1. Ashton Kutcher That 70’s Show - amazing, everything else he’s ever done - not so much. 1. Peewee Herman Best thing he ever did was a spoken word piece on a Cyndi Lauper song. 1. Pauly Shore I don’t really know much about this guy. I recognise the name. 1. Sarah Palin 2. Glenn Beck I have limited knowledge of Glenn Beck, and my impression is that he’s worse than Sarah Palin, but both of them are, of course, fuckwits. ---

1. Oprah 2.-6. The celebrities on your list I’ve never heard of. 7.-10. The other celebrities on your list I have heard of. (BTW, I’m not particularly a major Oprah fan.) ---

#1 - Betty White \_ Funny, witty, willing to do just about anything for her craft. #15 Anderson Cooper - A total non-entity to me. #25 - Oprah - Who cares? #100 - Ashton Kutcher Peewee Herman Pauly Shore Paris Hilton Sarah Palin Glenn Beck Kim Kardashian Total and complete wastes of resources. A proper society would recycle all of them into dog food. ---

This is in order of roughly how much I know about them: 1. Oprah Winfrey - internationally famous for a long time 2. Sarah Palin - obvious 3. Paris Hilton - I’ve seen her naked (not in real life) Big drop off to: 1. Glenn Beck - TV crazy man, seen quite a few youtube videos and the like Another big drop off to: 1. Peewee Herman - Comedy character. I’d recognise a picture. The actor got caught having a dangerwank. Haven’t seen any of his work I’ve heard the name, but that’s it: 1. Kim Kardashian Never heard of (unranked): Ashton Hutcher Pauly Shore Betty White Anderson Cooper ---

“Who do you wish would go away and never come back?” 1. Glenn Beck 2. Sarah Palin 3. Oprah Winfrey 4. Kim Kardashian 5. Ashton Badger 6. Anderson Cooper 7. Pauly Shore 8. Paris Hilton 9. Betty White 10. Peewee Herman Actually, I’d be okay if all of them went away and never came back except for Betty and Peewee. ---

You decide what to rank them on, tell us if you wish to, but put them in order from 1 to 10: > > Ashton Hutcher > Peewee Herman > Pauly Shore > Betty White > Paris Hilton > Sarah Palin > Glenn Beck > Anderson Cooper > Kim Kardashian > Oprah Winfrey My rankings: [ol] [li]Pee-wee Herman - Much as I’ve always adored Betty White, Pee-wee wins this in a walk for the combined awesomeness of his HBO comedy special **The Pee-wee Herman Show** , **Pee-wee’s Playhouse** , and, of course, the Tim Burton directed **Pee-wee’s Big Adventure** , which is among my top ten favorite comedies of all time.[/li][li]Betty White - As I said, I’ve loved her since I first saw her in **The Mary Tyler Moore Show** , and I’ve loved everything she’s done since.[/li][li]Anderson Cooper - What little I’ve seen of **Anderson Cooper 360°** I’ve enjoyed, and he seems like a genuinely likable, reasonably well informed guy. And if he wants to remain in the closet, that’s his business.[/li][li]Oprah Winfrey - Yes, she can annoy me to no end, but she actually is a pretty damn good interviewer, and she’s used her gargantuan celebrity and influence to do some genuine good for society. But what she’s best at, of course, furthering her own career/brand, and that does get frightfully tiresome quite often. And if she wants to remain in the closet, that’s her business.[/li][li]Ashton Kutcher - Personally, I can hardly stand the guy, and his acting output is almost exclusively pure shit. But he did successfully re-brand **Candid Camera** for the aughts, and it was actually fairly watchable.[/li][li]Pauly Shore - A less successful, more annoying version of Ashton Kutcher.[/li][li]Kim Kardashian - A more fuckable (to my eye) version of the execrable Paris Hilton. An absolutely disposable human being.[/li][li]Paris Hilton - A waste of cell tissue and hard drive space. Utterly talentless and forgettable.[/li][li]Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin (tie) - Two of the most evil people currently sucking in oxygen on the planet right now. Flame the fuck away, but if either (or both!) of them died tomorrow, I would actually breathe a sigh of relief. _Fuck. Them._[/li][/ol] ---

1. Betty White 2. Ashton Kutcher 3. all the others based on their contribution to my entertainment, even though their total entertainment time is probably less than 5 hours - one movie and a few random bits of TV shows. In fact I have seen more of Pauly Shore because my kids liked his stuff but none of it was watchable. ---

10.) Pauly Shore He was in _Bio-Dome_ and I despise him for it. 9.) Glenn Beck An enemy of progress. 8.) Anderson Cooper I know who he is but I know nothing about him. Sorry guy. 7.) Peewee Herman Annoying. 6.) Paris Hilton She’s famous for being famous and I hate that. 5.) Kim Kardashian She, like Paris, is famous for being famous but her sex tape is about ten times hotter. 4.) Ashton Kutcher I’m indifferent towards him. 3.) Oprah Winfrey I’m indifferent towards her. 2.) Sarah Palin She’s lots of fun to talk about and without her there wouldn’t be the porn series _Nailin’ Palin_ which has the best writing in the industry (“Funny, you look German”). 1.) Betty White Come the fuck on. This one’s obvious! She’s just awesome. ---

Betty White - love her Ashton Hutcher - like him Paris Hilton - can be amusing, see the McCain ad & House of Wax Oprah Winfrey - I don’t have anything against her Glenn Beck - needs ADHD meds Sarah Palin - idiot, but made SNL funny for a while Anderson Cooper - who? Kim Kardashian - I know what she looks like, but that’s about it Peewee Herman - no thanks Pauly Shore - I wish I could say “remember when he was funny?” but that never happened. ---
