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.

Leona Lewis is not bland. She is lovely and wonderful so there!

Caroline Quentin. What is IT with those sideways looks to the camera? Why do M&S seem to think she is 'everywoman' and we all aspire to be like her? She only ever plays herself.

Fiona Phillips.
Kerry Katona
Peter Andrea - talentless, manipulative, worse than KP.
Joe Swash - he puts on that bloody north london accent so strong he can hardly get a word out! (i know he IS from North London but we dont talk like that!)
The Osbournes
Boyle - he is a wanker.
Myleen Crass - yes dear, you have had a baby, jolly well done you.
Kylie - I just dont buy that nice stuff. When Danni announced her pregancy she started doing loads of interviews talking about how SHE would love to have a baby (sibling rivalry - much?)

Cuba gooding jr- wrecks all the films he's in. Also Brendan Fraser! Can't watch a film or take it seriously when either of them in it.

Chris Moyles- I can actually feel his ego radiating out of my speakers- actually make that all dj's. Can not stand any of them and their pathetic drivel and desperately unfunny stories when I just want to listen to some music.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 20:57

leona lewis is dull and wooden.once a tree personality

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:42

Actually she is bright and sharp and very funny. She also does loads of work for charities and doesnt shout about it.

She has a lovely personality.

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 21:46

I think Leona comes across as a very nice girl, bless her.

I totally agree with you MrsD about Caroline Quentin, she is so arch in those M&S adverts it makes me cringe. What is she grinning at? And why so smug? It's only a fucking chocolate cake, you twat, not the holy grail.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 21:47

oh do stop banging on about princess leona.point of thread is the sheer irrationality,petty and perurile name who you dislike

bono and chris martin do lot for charity but i still dont like em. im sure they have oodles of acolyes.i still dont like em

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:49

I didnt say you had to like her SM I was just correction your erroneous (sp) assumption about her personality Xmas Grin

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 21:50

no no i must correct you.for overlooking her tree like persona

MarianneM · 18/12/2010 21:52

Riven :):):)

Jennifer Aniston - everyone is supposed to love her but I find her so dull AND annoying!

Jennifer Lopez, glossy and bland, all about product endorsement.

Beyonce - see above.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 21:54

you're on plums MrsD we are all making assumptions.thats the point!i have never met dawn french but im of the spurious and ill informed opinion shes a tit and she annoys me

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:55

No because I actually know her really well and you dont. So you are going by what you see on telly and I am not.

She is lovely so there!

Xmas Grin

But you dont have to like her. S'up to you.

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:55

I didnt mean to add that 'actually' actually. It just slipped out.

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 21:57

I can't stand people who smile like manic speed addled fools.

So that's Danw Frewnch, Keira K and Kerry K for starters.

I don't like that boss eyed twat from Mock the Week. He always says something and then looks to the audeinec/camera for the laughter.

Mind you loads of stand up comedians are like that, the emotionally stunted, affirmation-loving fools.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 21:57

oh stop banging on,so you know her,and?doesnt alter my opinion shes 100% ham

what next frankie boyle mammie rockin up saying leave it be hes a nice laddie.really

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:58

What does 'on plums' mean?

mamadiva · 18/12/2010 21:58

Ricky Fecking Gervais- TWAT!!!

I want to jam a biro in his eye and twist it inside his little brain :o

Mwuhahaha (not literally of course)

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 21:59

Im not banging on. I am just telling you she is nice. I cant help it. I love her. Frankie Boyles mother should hang her head in shame.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:00

you are name dropping and banging on

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 22:02

Am not!

I cant help it I have to defend her.

You are being grumpy.

What does on plums mean?

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:04

you are name dropping that you know her.brown nosing

point of thread is unsubstantiated subjective dislikes.not searing account of what they are really like by someone who knows em

OnthefirsdayofMrsDeVere · 18/12/2010 22:07

Its not because i know her, its because I love her SM. Its not brown nosing if you love someone. I dont care if people dont like her music or whatever. I do get a bit upset when they say she is horrible. I KNOW its silly becasue this is the internet and all, and I know people say horrible things all the time.

Call it a weakness.

You still havent told me what that plums thing means.
