Topping that list for me is Rumor Willis, shown here: (SSFW) [http://www.wwtdd.com/tag/rumer-willis/](http://www.wwtdd.com/tag/rumer-willis/) [noparse][http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/scout-willis-walks-topless-new-york-article-1.1808910[/noparse]](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/scout-willis-walks-topless-new-york-article-1.1808910%5B/noparse%5D) and also Alec Baldwin (whom I like) daughter Ireland: [http://www.wwtdd.com/tag/ireland-baldwin/](http://www.wwtdd.com/tag/ireland-baldwin/) ---

There’s also “Scout Willis,” another of the worthless untalented and ugly children of genuine celebrity parents: [noparse][Scout Willis: I never had a choice about being in the public eye | Page Six](http://pagesix.com/2014/06/28/scout-willis-i-never-had-a-choice-about-being-in-the-public-eye/?_ga=1.54692450.896338223.1398273676%5B/noparse%5D) ---

I can’t imagine that any example anybody could possibly provide would trump Chastity Bono in this department. Astonishing what surgeons can do these days—transform a butt-ugly woman into a butt-ugly man. If I were her, I would have eaten a shotgun years ago. ---

[Bobbi Kristina](http://realitywives.net/blogs/bobbi-kristina-brown-states-she-has-whitney-houston-vocals/), the child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is a rather interesting-looking person. Every time her name comes up on the Tom Joynor Morning Show, someone’s joking about how she can’t sing. I’ve never heard her voice before, but I trust that her reputation is well-earned. ---

Bruce Willis resembles Mr Potato Head (with apologies to Mr Potato Head), but it’s _his daughter_ who is supposed to be ugly? I’m confused. It may not be something that can be explained, de gustibus and all that, but perhaps you could try? What did you expect from these women, exactly? 😕 ---

I think the majority of celebrities are children of celebrities, so pretty much any celebrity you don’t like has a pretty good chance of being in this category. Ironically, Justin Bieber made it to the top based purely on his own talent. ---
