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.

Helen Baxendale - for the shite turn she gave in Friends, her voice is soooooo annoying. Haven't been able to watch Dirk Gently because she's in it.

Julie Peasgood - another annoying voice (and too many teeth for my liking)

Lesley fecking Garret - 'La!' did you know that I can sing 'La!' ad infintum. Yes love, we know that you're northern and can trill a bit. Give it a bloody rest!

Katherine 'I'm gorgeous me' Jenkins - has a case of the Myeleene's. Overexposure alert!

Anyone who presents BBC Breakfast for pretending to be a proper news programme while really talking to the lowest common demoninator and for having to put on their 'wow, you're so interesting face' when the other presenter is talking. At least GMTV didn't pretend to be highbrow - don't even get me started on those presenters!

And ....... rest Grin

Anna fucking Friel
Pixie Lott
Steve Wright ('big show' my arse)
Alexa Chung

UnquietDad · 17/12/2010 16:22

I quite like Pixie Lott - she was very sweet and shy when DD met her and gave DD an autograph.

Ilovecoffeeandchocolate · 17/12/2010 16:24

Fearne Cotton (don't think you can get any more annoying)
Cheryl Cole

cantgetlaidingermany · 17/12/2010 16:24

prettyfly1....I agree with you, I think he's the celeb I loath the most tbh

rudolphscarrotcakeywakey · 17/12/2010 16:28

Oh yes Matthew Wright with his smug face and Daily Mail tendencies. Grrrrr.

BearCrimble · 17/12/2010 16:31

Matthew Wright left his girlfriend for another woman when she had breast cancer.

Jude Law. I know nothing about him to justify it but he jangles my every last nerve.

Gok Wan - Have it on good authority that he is fake and really has no time for 'homely' women - its just an act.

Kylie - She's not as nice in real life as her PR people would have you believe. She was pretty aloof when she came to the office - worked for one of her record companies

To those who say Simon Cowell - He's actually a nice guy or at least was. I worked as an intern for his record company many years ago and of all the senior people he was one of the nicest and made an effort to speak to me.

On to people I cannot stand.

Davina McCall - Seems unbelievable pushy and fake.

Claudia Winkleman - The ageing rock chick look isn't working love. Cut the fringe and wash some of the eyeliner off. In fact wash your face completely.

Reese Witherspoon - Fake southern sweetness. Bet she's a real piece of work in RL.

Alexa Chung and in fact any T4 presenter - No you are not cool you hipster try-hards...and stand up straight.

Lorraine Kelly - I can just picture her throwing down her script and screaming at her assistants as soon as the camera's switched off. One of the most fake people ever to appear on British television. Can't interview for shit, doesn't listen to her guests.

Anna wintour - Who the fuck does she think she is? Why is she taken so seriously, its only clothes FFS!

Gerrard Butler - No you really aren't as hot as you think you are love.

Tess Daly and Vernon Kay
Holly Willoughby
Sharon Osbourne and her stroppy daughter Kelly
Louise Spence - Surely he can't really be like that?

I'm sure there are more.

jojosmaman · 17/12/2010 16:43

Keira Knightly

Sarah-Jane from Cbeebies

Wayne Rooney

The annoying woman who used to be on the Great British Menu but then got relegated to being a voice over on it.

Judith Chalmers

Nadine from Girls Aloud

jojosmaman · 17/12/2010 16:44

Oh Fern Cotton and Edith Bowman.. horrors!

YuleTideD0G · 17/12/2010 16:47

I hate Jodie Foster, she makes my teeth itch

patterb27 · 17/12/2010 17:01

Hugh Grant
My sister can't stand Johnny Depp, says he looks like a pervert and begged me not to let my kids near him, (if he happens to be passing)

capricorn76 · 17/12/2010 17:02

How did I forget Jo Wiley. Can't believe she managed to keep her prime Radio 1 slot for so long. Once when asked her opinion on Led Zepplin, she anwered that she didn't know much about them as they were before her time! and she's supposed to be an authority on music?!

patterb27 · 17/12/2010 17:03

Oh thanks jojosmaman,
Wayne Rooney, namby pamby overpaid spoilt twat with a face like a smacked arse

"Jennifer Anniston. I'm sure she's very nice but she reminds me of dandruff for some reason and makes me want to scratch."

that is brilliant

BootyMum · 17/12/2010 17:42

Oh, the new blonde Polly on "The gadget show"
Is it just me or has she been recruited to appeal to the "Nuts" boys? I mean they had her in a bikini last week. So don't hate her so much but what she may stand for - fluffy blondes that appeal to the lad demographic.
Really like the other female presenter - she gives the male presenters as good as she gets.

forehead · 17/12/2010 17:42

Sorry Bono-
