Irrational Celebrity Hatreds?

perfectstorm · 17/12/2010 05:33

The Kylie thread got me thinking about annoying celebrities who aren't really doing any harm. They aren't Mel Gibson, or Pete Doherty, or even Kanye West. Yet they raise my bloodpressure, just the same.

Am I being unreasonable to hate:

Kirsty Alsopp. Her home shows did it - I was never bothered when she did Location Location Location. But now she trills on about how you can do all these things on the cheap, before she calls on some artisanal craftsman for the stars (Little Venice Cake Company, anyone?), gets them to give her one-to-one tuition, then fecks off back to her country manor until they turn up a few days later with her own slightly inept offering... and a complete set of stellar ones they put together as a gift, which would ordinarily cost the national debt of a developing nation. It's like Marie Antoinette offering cake recipes to the plebs, while chummily declaring that taste requires no cash.

Bruce Willis: because of the way he purses his lips. No other reason. It makes me shudder.

Justin 'Something Special' Fletcher. The irritating voice... the insincerity... the cheesy smile. I suspect him of 'unclean habits'.

sadiesadiemarriedlady · 17/12/2010 07:17

Sarah Jayne from cbeebies
Fearne Cotton
Jonathan Ross
Lorraine Kelly
Jeremy Kyle
Cheryl Cole
Jordan
Kerry Katona (wtf)

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 17/12/2010 07:32

Myleene Klass

That chubby girl used to be in EastEnders, is still all over the feckin' place (Sonia ?)

Gwyneth Paltrow

David Tennent

wussbird · 17/12/2010 07:36

I second Sarah Jane from Cbeebies. That woman needs to learn to speak like a grown up!

Also Ricky Gervais. Loves himself.

JeezyPeeps · 17/12/2010 07:37

Anthea Turner

Actually scratch that. There is nothing irrational about hating Anthea Turner.

girlsyearapart · 17/12/2010 07:50

God yeah Sarah Jane especially on mighty mites as she actually talks..
Have you seen the you tube of her having a huge tattoo though ??

Angelina jolie
My dad used to make us turn off the tv if andi peters was on and my mum if Alan Hansen was on so everyone has this it seems..

perfectstorm · 17/12/2010 07:52

I was going to put Gwyneth Paltrow. GOOP kills me. How can someone lack self awareness to that pitch?

Also Nicole Kidman - her acting annoys the shit out of me, so histrionic and overdone, and she appears to have just abandoned 2 kids to the tender mercies of Tom Cruise, which freaks me out utterly.

YourCallIsImportant · 17/12/2010 07:57

Wow, I agree with most of these, although there's nothing irrational about disliking smug git Ricky Gervais.

My personal list includes 'national treasure' Barbara Windsor, and bloody Amanda Holden.

My immediate 'turn over the tv' reaction is sparked by Nicholas Cage. He has to be the world's worst actor and makes my teeth itch.

BootyMum · 17/12/2010 08:00

Yes Perfect - I have often wondered where Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's two adopted children have got to? All you see and hear about are Suri and Sunday Roast... I feel quite sorry for the other two, it's like they don't exist anymore now that Mummy and Daddy are divorced and have new families Sad

And Sadie yes yes yes to Fearne Cotton and Cheryl Cole, ditto girls for Angelina Jolie. I have a hatred for those "stars" that are pushed on us ad infinitum, that according to the media we all love and emulate Hmm.
At least everyone knows that Jeremy Kyle is truly vile Grin

hogfather · 17/12/2010 08:09

For some reason I have an irrational dislike of Russell Watson.
I think I read once that he left his wife and young baby when he made it big and rightly or wrongly I have disliked him ever since.

I find he comes across quite patronizing too

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/12/2010 08:10

Barbara Windsor. Annoying little woman.
Joan aren't I well preserved Collins.
Justin Fletcher, I haven't seen him for a while, but I too suspect him of being........
That one that was in Bridget Jones' diary, can't remember her name but she is hateful.
I don't see a lot of telly, nor do I get celeb gossip magazines, but those will do for a start.
I'll end with Jamie Oliver, DD knows all about my intense dislike of the mockney cunt and pushed his cardboard likeness over in COOP in Zurich to make me feel better.

NestaFiesta · 17/12/2010 08:11

Helen Baxendale- the worst actress ever and men seem to love her! why?

Agree about Babs Windsor (that much cleavage at 74? That hair?)

Amanda Holden bloody loves herself.

Fearne Coton's voice and fake eanrestness- yuk.

Chil1234- how can you say that about lovely Justin? Our friends' children were on Something Special and said he was lovely and great with the kids off camera as well as on.

hhg · 17/12/2010 08:14

Amanda Holden - so annoying

BootyMum · 17/12/2010 08:17

Kreecher, also hate Jamie Oliver. Gosh he is so patronising and earnest, out to save the world... Just bugger off would you! You're a chef, just get on with cooking. Stop trying to educate the world.

Loving this thread! Feeling my blood pressure rise as I am reminded of all the celebrities that irritate the hell out of me!
Very enjoyable Grin

RockinRobinBird · 17/12/2010 08:20

Ian Hislop and Harry Hill. Both intensely annoying and deeply unfunny but strangely both think they are it. Come the revolution they'll be first up against the wall...

kreecherlivesupstairs · 17/12/2010 08:29

See, i'd have to disagree with you Rockin. I'd definitely give Harry one and consider Ian too.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 17/12/2010 08:36

Completely agree with Perfect. GOOP is the biggest load of claptrap going, arghh. And breathe.

Helena Bonham Carter. Only person not to need make up in Planet Of The Apes/Harry Potter.

She has done nothing to me, so feel quite guilty about this, but she makes me shudder.

DiscoTex · 17/12/2010 08:48

Robbie Williams - Wanker

Xmas Grin
SuePurblybiltbyElves · 17/12/2010 08:53

Andie McDowell. Cos I don't get it - she is obviously as wooden as a spoon.

Sarah-bloody-Jane - goes without saying

Really hate Robbie, the ape

All the Loose Women.

All of Girls Aloud

Noel Edmonds

DylthanThroughTheSnow · 17/12/2010 08:55

Ben fogle Xmas Angry can't really place my finger on why but I have to change the channel when he comes on.

BaggedandTagged · 17/12/2010 08:56

Adrian Chiles- twat

Mariah Carey- dont know where to start

All of Girls Aloud apart from Kimberley

Anthea Turner- marriage wrecking ho bag

Phil Spencer and Kirsty for their overriding smugness about being early to the property boom and for being utterly patronising to those who werent.

Angelina Jolie- if I hear one more time her interview "I'm just like you" BS about how she (allegedly) makes her kids breakfast I will petrol bomb her.

Chris from Cold Play for making vacuous "oh I'm so political" comments and having a face like a smacked arse.

BitOfFalalalalaa · 17/12/2010 08:56

Keith Lemon. I can't explain it, but he makes me feel quite murderous.

PuraVida · 17/12/2010 09:00

Edith bowman. Can't stand her although I know very little about her, apart from her willful misuse of the word genius
