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.

theexample · 18/12/2010 22:13

Ricky Gervais is great!!!!!!!

The people I do hate include:

Peter Kay. - So unfunny!
All the Loose Women (the audience too)
James Corden - See Peter Kay.
Piers Morgan - Cnt
Kelvin MacKenzie - Lying, evil c
nt.
Louis Spence - Being gay isn't something to base an entire career on.
John Barrowman - Get the fuck off my screen!!! You're on EVERYTHING!
The tree stump who plays Nick Tildsley.
Shrek - He plays himself in every film!

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:17

Oh yes Peter Kay

His jokes:

Garlic bread is the future
My mum is Irish
I am northern
'turn t'big light on'
Kids at weddings
I'm fat, me

Repeat for 15 years

countless · 18/12/2010 22:18

you're pretty mean scottishmummy!

i wish someone would do a tally and work out who're mumsnet's most hated celebs

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:18

Oh come ON just leave it.

Stop rowing about Leona Lewis on a Saturday night.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:20

jesus wept its mn can argue about anything i want on a sat night.that the whole point

even glossy wooden pop songstrels

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:29

Ah well, I normally am one to argue about shite for the sake of it, but I have a feeling that MrsD may be personally involved a bit with the chariry on question, so it may have touched a nerve.

I may be completly wrong but hey ho, didn;t want any upset.

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:32

im pulling leg of schlebs,not MrsD.and as she said internet is full of inane chuff and opinions about everything,esp mn

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:34

yes I know.

Look at that shite about contriolled crying?

Grin
scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:36

correctamundo.loved the handwringing description by op

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:38

I love MN for ridiculously overblown parenting heartache

But then I am from the make it up as you go along, shit happens school of parenting

kerstina · 18/12/2010 22:39

Am sure Leona is MrsDs niece but correct me if i am wrong. You cannot blame her for being protective if thats the case.

adrenalinejunkie · 18/12/2010 22:40

keira i'm just a normal girl knightley ,because she is so smug and fake self deprecating and that chanel ad makes me feel a little bit sick

sienna smug face miller
Jamie Oliver ok no one eats turkey twizlers any more well done but you probably made millions out of it so stop being so bloody smug and the constant swearing is not big or clever and you are not gordon ramsey.

kerry katona jordan peter andre in fact the whole ok/hello magazine crowd

cheryl nations toilet attendant beating sweetheart, the only person in the known world to get divorced and suffer from an illness.

rihannas voice makes me think of nails down a blackboard everytime i hear one of her songs.

Any actor who talks about their 'craft' and thinks making films is similar to being god

on a similar note celebs who demand hotel suites to be redecorated , treat assistants like crap and/or want all the red m and ms to be picked out (and the people who pander to them)
whew quite a list i must say its quite a good outlet for my stress

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:40

whats the link to leona or keira?other than overblown

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:44

leona et al chose schleb and fame.expect strangers to have an opinion when you make your career and self a brand,is a public thing that attracts comments

the money and acolytes no doubt cushions the blow

lololizzy · 18/12/2010 22:50

Leona (i think anyway) is extremely bland. And drippy. Not at all horrible..just those things. But i know many will disagree!

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:50

stephen fry,bombastic git

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 22:53

why are we now tippy toeing around irrational dislikes.dont need to justify unsubstantiated dislikes is a puerile blah blah thread

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 22:59

Oh GOD Stephen Fry.

Yes, we know you went to Cambridge you have told us all before.

And yes you may well be clever but you are also obnocious with it.

That said, I don't know ANYONE who has been to Oxbridge and doesn't feel the need to bring it up in conversation at every possible opportunity.

Longstocking2 · 18/12/2010 23:02

oh the ubiquitous S Fry, dinner guest of Prince Charles, ever so 'umble, ever so self deprecating and ever so work aholic, I'd just like a break from him.

Also a mate worked with him and he was really mean to her. I don't think he likes unimportant women who he meets through work.... but then neither do many well known media types!

scottishmummy · 18/12/2010 23:05

that dolly bird psychologist that rocks up on tv.dont know her name
