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.

ooo dont get me started me on these

Katherine Jenkins i could quite easily smack and probably never stop shes sooooooo nice! No one is that nice all the time. The smile, everything about her makes my blood boil. I was looking forward to dr who christmas day its now banned from the house no i know she on it.

Zoe Salmon - patronising, annoying, smug, smiley oh shes just horrible. She seems to think shes gods gift to earth. Hated her on the dancing on ice thing.

Agree with everyone with babs. That bingo advert is soooo annoying now with that stupid laugh.

Oh but hoow can anyone hate Michael Buble and David Tennent they're beautiful lol

I agree! My mate and I call it Oxbridge Tourette's:

"I'd like the soup please and may I have some fizzy I WENT TO OXFORD water"

"I'll have a return to York please and a I WENT UP TO OXFORD FOR LONG VAC pocket timetable too."

GetOrfMoiLand · 18/12/2010 23:13

Shock UQD

Oh bloody hell here we go. It's not just Oxford, it is the purported exclusivity of the college.

Come on then , are you from Christ Church (posho Bullingdon type) or Exeter (jumped up grammar school type) or what? Grin

Yes longstocking.

And they never ever shut up about it. I used to work someone who was at 'The House' with Maria Aitken in the 60s and danced with her at a commen ball, he used to love telling us all (again)

Mind you they curl their lip at me as I am a graduate of Brisol (oxbridge reject) in engineering (insufferable).

Oh now I love Winkleman.

But she needs to STOP with the inch thick kohl, makes her look skew-eyed.

(arslikhan moment, forgive but have always loved your name..)

I don't now what "the house" means! please tell me!
It's all the slang that they carry on using up til the end of their lives and their children use it too as a way to filter out the commoners who didn't go up to anything but to the lift down to a mineshaft or up their own filthy arses

Rugger!
Brekkers!
Cuppers!
Champers!
Preggers!

Thanks UQ
you are clearly one of the less afflicted except that you posted on here that you went to Oxford.... maybe a milder digital form of the Oxbridge Tourette's

UnquietDad · 18/12/2010 23:53

Well, I did it deliberately in response to GetOrf mentioning that we all do it!...
