Irrational Celebrity Hatreds?

411 replies

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.

fair enough!

You are absolved from any more teasing!

I've battled with you before and I can't face any more post enlightenment smiting from ye!

But happy Christmas to you and yours!

Oh, I have just tarred you all with the same brush Grin

Mind you UQD in talking to you on MN for x amount of years you ahve never once said 'well at Oxford of course' so you must break my oxford git mould.

I think I am just burning because I referred once to a May ball at Worcester College and was told 'oh no dear they are called that at Cambridge, not Oxford' accompanied by a withering look down a long patrician nose.

GetOrfMoiLand · 19/12/2010 00:00

Grin at longstiocking

Longstocking2 · 19/12/2010 00:02

Getorf I must rush to UQD's defence as well (tho' he hast smote me most mercilessly over the years for being irrational and ill educated) he has never mentioned where he received his tertiary education!

FairyChristmas · 19/12/2010 00:38

Gabby Logan. She hadn't really come under my radar; I am not a sporty type and I had thought that she was just another inoffensive female sports presenter, like Sue Barker.

However, just recently I have read some facts about her on the internet and apparently she is not all that she seems. I wouldn't say hatred, btw, just that recently I have learnt more about her, and it has given me pause for thought.

Bobbiesmum · 19/12/2010 08:57

Gabby Logan AND her husband. He was Following my husband on a golf course once and my husband somehow lost his mobile during the round.
Later that night in the bar my husband asked Mr Logan if he had come across it as he was behind him all the way round the course and he basically told my husband to f off and stop bothering him and he wasn't signing any autographs!!!!!!
Didn't care who he was, just looking for his phone!

pigletmania · 19/12/2010 09:35

oh add to that wossy and his partner in crime Russle Brand what overpaid twats, Davina MaColl, Noel Edmonds,

Frankie Boyle
Russel Brand
Kelly Brooke
Holly Willoughby

Longstocking2 · 20/12/2010 14:51

animation I agree, La Clooney is full of weird head and facial tics. I think he thinks it's all adding to him being adorable. He doesn't do it for me.

mrslurkalot · 20/12/2010 15:01

Jim Carey and his annoying rubber face.

MsSparkle · 20/12/2010 15:07

Scarlett Johnson and her plump lips. Make her really unattractive imo even though men druel over her!

MsSparkle · 20/12/2010 15:09

Nooooo, Michael Macintyre is so funny!

bupcakesandcunting · 20/12/2010 15:26

"Forgot Carol McGiffin- yeah we know you have a toyboy love, well done you but probably the only reason he's with you is coz he's too lazy to mastrabate....

"

Grin Excellent! can't stand tha woman. She is famous for being "straight-talking" when really she is just rude and coarse and for looking like a turtle that's just come out of its shell after the winter.

*The woman who plays Carole Jackson in EE. Needs a good wash.

*Christina Aguilera for shaking her minge around at the X-Factor. She must really rate herself. She's always got her fanny oot.

*Mick Hucknall

*Brad Pitt for leaving Jennifer for Saint Angelina.

*Gok Wan for his "you GO, girlfriend"/"FIERCE" schtick. I'm onto you, Wan.

Has anyone said Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall yet? Just thinking about his ghastly smug face (and in particular his prissy little mouth spewing out platitudes about self-sufficiency while trousering six-figure book and TV deals) makes me want to punch the screen.

Also Ruby Wax (just loathsome), Dawn French (self-regarding, unfunny) and Jonathan Ross (sycophantic twat).

slug · 20/12/2010 16:32

Hugh F-W shagged my flatmate

lalalonglegs · 20/12/2010 16:35

That'll teach her - I bet he took his glasses off so his eyes went all piggy. I'd lay money on him being a crap lay.

krisskross · 20/12/2010 16:36

My mum HATES paul mccartney with a passion

Longstocking2 · 20/12/2010 23:22

LOL LOL LOL lalalonglegs
yes in agreement, no offence to relatives of or those who love La Fernleywhittinstall (wha'evs)
But I agree about the self love and the mouth yuck.

also in cookery programmes when you hear them putting a taster in their mouths and having a little chew or tasting a drink and you get a little slurpy sound
HEAVE HO!

can't BEAR MACCA either, just can't bear the jolly matey peace sign thing. He wrote some great music but I hate the whole thing now. Just retire and begone imho.
