Irrational Celebrity Hatreds?

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.

that horrible bald guy from masterchef too

but what about kevin mccloud? doesn't anyone else hate him??

Simon Bates. No reason - he's bland and inoffensive, and probably an excellent broadcaster. But I have spent decades of my life turning the radio on and finding 'Oh. It's Simon Bates again'. with that special internal deflation that only he can bring.

Lorraine Kelly with her tinkly little laugh...

scottishmummy · 17/12/2010 23:14

kevin mccloud is irksome

sharbie · 17/12/2010 23:14

what i don't particularly like abut km is the way he only kisses the attractive women on his show - like noel and chris tarrant
makes me cringe

Fibilou · 17/12/2010 23:17

bono Y& chris martin. although that couldn't be described as irrational Grin

enabledebra · 17/12/2010 23:17

Jamie Oliver. His mouth is just too slobbery somehow and he spits a bit when he talks.

Fibilou · 17/12/2010 23:19

to be honest i don't think anyone has posted a celeb that i haven't thought "oh yes, they're a twat" too.

merryxmaswidow · 17/12/2010 23:20

Actually I have a general dislike of all famous puppets with the exception of sesame street characters and the muppets

sharbie · 17/12/2010 23:22

he he dawn french just outed on g norton

sharbie · 17/12/2010 23:22

someone on show said they asked for her autograph and she told em to get lost

vicdim14 · 17/12/2010 23:25

Rod Stewart - Makes my skin crawl...Its the mullet I think.

Cheryl Cole - If she's a role model I do despair. The girl's got a criminal record and advertises shampoo with fake hair.

Chris Tarrant - Proclaimed on TV that adultery is something that men do. Not someone I think should front family viewing.

Jordan / Alex Reid / Jodie Marsh and all the other wannabes!!!!

scottishmummy · 17/12/2010 23:28

ewan mcgregor
liz hurley

hatesponge · 17/12/2010 23:36

Lisa Snowdon
Christine 'I'm engaged to Frank Lampard' Bleakely
Tess and Vernon

Danny Dyer - though I think thats a rational celebrity hatred :)

theigloohaslanded · 17/12/2010 23:42

That one with the huge gob who sits/sat next to Adrian Chiles on the sofa and is now 'going out with' Frank Lampard. Eeewww.

Also Liz Hurley. Bad enough before but really irritating. And shagging Ozzie player who drives yellow Lambo is treasonable. Yuk.

methodsandmaterials · 18/12/2010 00:28

JLS. Part of me dies every time I see them on TV.

crystalglasses · 18/12/2010 00:42

Lorrain Kelly. What a dreadful interviewer - her method is talk over people she's interviewing, to state her opinion and then ask the celebrity to agree with it. Her laugh also grates on me as does her phrase 'that's really good' whenever some fashion item meets with her approval

lololizzy · 18/12/2010 00:44

Ellie Goulding
Dappy (though that's not irrational really!)
All the Lisa's who have ever been on Big Brother

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 00:46

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. They deserved each other so I'm sad they're now inflicted on others.

Angelina Jolie, a thousand times over.

As far as celebrities I like, I have to admit I've never read an interview with Posh where she didn't come off as pretty cool. [shrugs]

hatesponge · 18/12/2010 02:02

remembered some more :)

Denise Van bloody Outen. Cannot bear her.
Edith Bowman
Chris Moyles and all his stupid hangers on who are paid to laugh at his (staggeringly unfunny) jokes
Phil whatever his name is and his partner ...Katie Price's best mates. Spectacularly annoying, though possibly not even celebrities
All of Wand Erection (ditto)

DeeCeeDee · 18/12/2010 05:50

The plastic faced gargoyle Sharon Osbourne. Totally in love with herself and thinks fame for being married to a drugged out rockstar makes her important to everybody.

Coleen Nolan. Does an advice column in the Daily Mirror and every reply seems to start with 'well when that happened to me and my husband Ray'..WE ALL KNOW U HAVE A HUSBAND, ITS NOT ALL ABOUT U, SHUT UP!

The X Craptor judges and their stupid platitudes 'you owned that song' 'thats the best version of that song Ive heard in my life (really?!)..blah blah..I do like Louis Walsh for some unknown reason.

Leona Lewis. She is too young to be that bland.

Peter 'look at me please look at me Im the best parent in the world and a veritable angel' Andre. You re-found fame because of Jordan, at least be grateful for that, now please go away.

Madonna. For looking like a chick with a d*ck and mistakenly believing she has natural sex appeal. Also for going with boys who are probably only 10 years older than her daughter..creepy.

That Police Commissioner who was on This Morning earlier this week talking about student demos, and spoke to the other female guest as if she was a div, the sexist prick, his whole attitude said 'youre a woman what do u know, run along home'. I used to like Philip Scholfield but he sided with this idiot, firing questions..while Holly just sat there going 'errrm' without managing to get a word in ie thick as sh*t.

David Tennant. Smug and manic (but then again, strangely fanciable at times).

Last and most definetely least - Sonia from eastenders. For that series about her pregnancy. one word. WHY?
