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.

Cat Deeley! Have just seen her swishing her hair in that annoying advert and headed straight to this thread to add her to the list Grin

Arf at Alexa Chung "standing like shes wet herself" Grin brilliant description!

I just have to step in to defend Helena Bonham-Carter.

For my 30th I had an open-top bus party touring pubs etc. Helpfully my parents had decorated it with my name on banners. On coasting down Hampstead High street we spotted HB-C and her cohort Tim Burton and they waved and shouted Happy Birthday. All well and good until we realised we had left someone behind in a pub toilet and further down the street I had to jump off the bus and go and retrieve them and ran straight into the celebrity pair - I was not intending to ask them for autographs or anything (not my style and up until that point I had pretty much felt the same about HB-C) - but HBC said oh are you [insert my real name here] Happy Birthday! and gave me a hug! She came across (in that brief second) as very genuine and warm. So I have hence decided not to hate her as much

I enjoyed Johnny Saunders' comment on R2 today about Mariah's impending twins. "Think of the noise she'll make when she pushes those out!!"

Angelina Jolie- there's something about her that screams "I'm not a nice person!"

Peter Andre- for wittering on about how he "REALLY loves his kids." Duh. Course you do, you're their dad. it's your job. Xmas Hmm

Cheryl Cole- so, so smug.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes- coz Suri has a $2M wardrobe but never has her hair brushed.

Risky Gervais- his smug fat ugly moosh makes me sooooo mad.

Gordon Ramsey- arrogant twunt.

Robbie-I-am-such-a-god-Williams- smug hanger-on.

Fiona Philips- just hate her.

StillSquiffy · 17/12/2010 15:22

Adrian Chiles
Eamonn Holmes

Urgh.

cantgetlaidingermany · 17/12/2010 15:30

Chris moyles - unfunny and downright rude and nasty at times

James corden - I just hate him, everything about him irratates me.

Kerry katona - waste of oxygen, how many times is she going to give up drugs? her poor fucking kids having that as a mum

Peter andre - greasy, false, insincere. Butter wouldn't melt- I really don't think so.
Loves to be the victim, I wish he would fuck off

Timbachick · 17/12/2010 15:32

Barbara Windsor
Norman Wisdom
Damon Albarn - it's the mockney geezer act that just makes me want to smack him
Jimmy Tarbuck - absolutely HATE him, with a vengeance...don't know why
Joan Collins
Chris Tarrant
Gillian McKeith
Leonardo DeCaprio - agree with Riven - a face in need of a bloody good slapping if ever I saw one

There are so many more ... back later Xmas Grin

Miggsie · 17/12/2010 15:38

Simon Cowell, the smug, nasty bastard, and Anne Robinson, a smug nasty bitch.
Please please someone wall them up together in a room and leave them. Great reality show that would make..."when smug people go even more bad". Whichever one dies first gets replaced by Jeremy Kyle.

Catharthis....ahhh

Wilberoo · 17/12/2010 15:38

Catherine Zeta Jones, so bleedin' smug. And I can't believe noone has mentioned Ray Quinn, I can't put my finger on the reason, but I can't bear the man/boy/weasel.

charlieliz · 17/12/2010 15:39

Wayne Rooney - needs a slap
Cheryl Cole - we just don't care love
Fiona Philips - enough with the simpering
Bruce Forsyth - sorry, you are just NOT funny

CaveMum · 17/12/2010 15:41

To everyone that hates Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin - have you seen the Star Stories about Jennifer Aniston? They make a surprise appearance in video - you'll need to fast forward it to 9mins 55s (though the whole show is worth watching if you want!)

Fookin hilarious!

cantgetlaidingermany · 17/12/2010 15:44

Kirstie allsop- uggh...twee and annoying

So many twats so little time!

cantgetlaidingermany · 17/12/2010 15:45

Forgot sheri houson...is it an act or is she really like that? I couldn't be in her company for more than 5 minutes without wanting to deck her

saffy85 · 17/12/2010 15:46

Coleen Rooney- coz when she smiles she looks really evil. No she really does.

saffy85 · 17/12/2010 15:49

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

Wilberoo · 17/12/2010 15:51

Sherri Houson/Hewson (??) is just like a giant child and it is not endearing or amusing. I can't bear her.

Saffy85 - that's true, Colleen Rooney looks like the velociraptor from Jurassic Park.

cantgetlaidingermany · 17/12/2010 15:53

Wilberoo...exactly, couldn't finish watching come dine with me last week because of her.

Jamie Oliver - something about the way he is never anywhere near his own family but bangs on about family values etc....

That woman on loose women who is/was a singing coach - cant remember her name but she is seriously annoying - long dark hair and is very hard faced. I think it was the simpering over duncan from blue and constant innuendo. Blah. Wierdly though I love Carol, just for entirely being herself.

I love Rachel Allens recipe but the woman herself bores me potless.

Alesha Dixon - forgotten where ya started much?

I will probably think of more but this lot definitely make my teeth itch.

prettyfly1 · 17/12/2010 16:01

Oh and Peter fecking andre - not unreasonable - his whole "I left my wife three weeks after a miscarriage but oh I am marvellous and all of you, gather, gather to witness my way with my kids. Kids come here - show the world how good I am with you" makes me bleurgh. Plus all the men in his family are totally bald according to a newspaper article I read recently. Bet he has hair plugs.

slug · 17/12/2010 16:05

Most of my celebrity loathes are entirely rational.

However, to the list of "I want to slap them simply because...." can I add

Siena Miller
Matthew Wright (it's the ears and the strangely rodent like face, especially when he gurns)
Tara palmer tompkinson, now there's a face just made for slapping

prettyfly1 · 17/12/2010 16:06

Oohhh matthew wright - cant believe I forgot the smug little weasel himself. Good add slug.
