Name "huge" celebrities who you are simply not impressed with

[hyphenate]

The "winners" for me are:

Jennifer Aniston
Tom Cruise


I'm sure there are others, but these are the two I think are just very lucky with agents, make-up artists, opportunities and nepotism. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

1. The more I hear about them,

the less interested I am in them, that should tell you who...

[hyphenate]

5. I suspect you are referring

to the Brangelina coupling. ;)

[Pierre.Suave]

10. Among many others

paris, brit, lohan, etc...

[hyphenate]

37. One thing I will never quite understand

is how some of these people became famous. Not that we didn't have "celebrities" when I was growing up, but at least some of them could be recognized for having some "thing" to be famous for. The Gabor sisters, for example, were pretty beautiful in their youth, and Phyllis Diller was a successful comedienne. Sure, there were the celebrities whose claim to fame was working on Hollywood Squares, but that was what put them on the map to begin with in some cases.

Now, you get brainless, immature role models who really shouldn't be strutting like they owned the place, and just because you're an heiress doesn't mean you should be treated like royalty. ;)

[Arugula Latte]

18. She had the bebes today

Boy - "Knox" and Girl - "Vivienne"

What's the deal with them naming all the boys end-in-x names, anyway? Maddox, Pax, and now Knox. ... Let's see, they can still have a Max and a Rex, then maybe "Sox" and "Hex" and "Sex" and "Xymox," and then I think they're pretty much done.

[loveable liberal]

62. Its code....

[hyphenate]

7. stupid dupe!

:)

[Initech]

25. Same! There's 3 things I cant stand to hear on the radio:

1. Celebrity gossip

2. Financial reports

3. Talk radio

[Pierre.Suave]

27. I dont listen to the radio much

except for NPR, that's it.

[sakabatou]

2. Sometimes

Will Smith

[PeaceNikki]

3. OMG, have you seen Jerry O'Connell spoofing Tom Cruise?

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/3f716ffebe

Jerry's cool points shot WAY up after I saw that!

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

15. He was in "Stand By Me."

That's all I need. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

83. He was in "My Secret identity."

That's all I need.

[hellbound-liberal]

4. Lindsay Lohan, WTF? I simply do not understand her appeal.

She is a so-so actress with mediocre looks.

[Bicoastal]

8. Boobies.

Pale, round, be-freckled boobies.

[Bicoastal]

9. For the record, I don't understand the appeal either.

[realisticphish]

12. she has no appeal NOW

a few years ago, she was very attractive, and seemed to have potential. Now, i think it's just a matter of the american public reveling in watching a famous person crash and burn

[Arugula Latte]

13. Me too. I can't understand the big deal over her.

:shrug:

[Bicoastal]

6. DAVID...FUCKING...BLAINE!

The only difference between Houdini and Blaine? Talent, personal magnetism, and the ability to make his feats appear to be magic tricks, instead of feats of jaw-dropping douchebaggery.

[KitchenWitch]

17. "feats of jaw-dropping douchebaggery"

:rofl:

I am so stealing that phrase.

[pokerfan]

11. Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Tom Cruise

[XemaSab]

14. Nicholas Cage and Julia Roberts

:eyes:

[hyphenate]

39. Interestingly

I haven't cared all that much for Julia Roberts, either, but I've come to enjoy Nicolas Cage. Whether it means much or not, he's got an easy, genial acting presence, and he chooses some of his acting jobs well. He knows his range, and he works within it, but he can be very much of a surprise when he chooses to be. I don't know too many other actors who could pull off both National Treasure and Leaving Las Vegas.

[Chan790]

16. Madonna...oh how I can't stand Madonna.

I just don't get it. Her music sucks and she doesn't strike me as anything more than another star detached from reality.

[Initech]

23. Second!

The cover of her new album. No. Just fucking no.

[Skittles]

31. I haven't seen it but let me take a wild guess

she's skanked out and doing a "F*** ME look"

[devilgrrl]

70. ...

:spray:

:thumbsup:

[newmajority]

77. And how would that be different from all of her other albums?

:shrug:

[Jade Fox]

69. Madonna's singular talent is and always has been self-promotion.

She's made a few good records here and there, but with her resources just about anyone could make the occasional decent record.

[Shell Beau]

85. I have to say that I think she is a talented dancer. Much more

so than singer.

[Frank Cannon]

19. Michael Buble

I see that douchenozzle on PBS probably three times a week every goddam pledge season. My uncle does a better Frank Sinatra impersonation, and no one ever has him on TV.

[Fox Mulder]

20. All of them.

[Lil Missy]

21. That horse-faced ass Jay Leno

:puke:

[BrotherBuzz]

22. Richard Simmons

:shrug:

[Initech]

24. Ray Romano and his steaming pile of shit show.

[Zavulon]

26. Well, Matthew McConaughey is the worst actor who ever lived, bar none.

Then we have Ben Stiller, David Caruso (a distant second to McConaughey), and a lot of people who have already been mentioned.

As for females, I am not impressed by Cameron Diaz or Maggie Gyllenhaal and wonder why they're considered so special.

Highly overrated people who are gushed about constantly but never struck me as anything special include Helen Mirren and Heath Ledger. Not to speak ill of the dead, but now that he IS dead he's being treated like the second coming.

[Skittles]

30. they're trying to make a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks out of McConaughey and Kate Hudson

Matthew and Kate BOTH stink

[Zavulon]

32. I had to look up Kate Hudson on imdb.com

I've heard the name but didn't recognize it. As it turns out, I've never seen anything she's in.

However, since you've got the good taste to realize that MM sucks, I'm obviously more than willing to take your word on KH.

[Skittles]

33. Goldie Hawn's girl

same annoying perkiness and fake smile - she got lucky with one of the first movies she was in (Oscar-nominated) so we will be subjected to her lousiness for some time now

[Zavulon]

34. Great.

Nothing like nepotism in Hollywood. It produces such fine talent. :sarcasm:

[hyphenate]

36. What's funny is Kate's brother, Oliver,

who is really hot, is just under 30. If I were younger, I would consider him a babe. Except I'm old enough to be his mother. Barely! (Nah--I still consider him a babe. :))

(For those who are not pop culture savvy, Oliver plays one of the main cast of a TV series called Rules of Engagement. He's not the silent brooding male (Patrick Warburton) or the short, long-haired often-a-sleazeball bachelor (David Spade), but the youngest, newly engaged one.)

[LynneSin]

54. Kate Hudsen is famous for being a child of a famous person

She's pretty but if she had to make hollywood on her own acting merits she wouldn't be there. The only exception I would make was her role in "Almost Famous" - she was outstanding in that but now she's nothing more than a romcom hack.

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. Heath Ledger was a fantastic actor

Watch "Brokeback Mountain" and tell me he was not amazing in that.

[Zavulon]

76. Never saw it.

Can't stand westerns.

[devilgrrl]

71. Helen Mirren rules - The 'Prime Suspect' series put her over the top.

:P

'The Queen' was a letdown though :-(

[Skittles]

28. Madonna - skank with mediocre voice

I never could stand Whitney Houston either - that gal doesn't sing, she screams - at the top of her lungs

[Danger Mouse]

29. All of them.

[KitchenWitch]

35. Probably most of them.

[Pierre.Suave]

38. I realized after posting my reply above

That "all of them" should have been my answer as well.

[KitchenWitch]

40. yeah

they are just people, no different. Just happen to have more notoriety than us.

[Monk06]

41. Celin Dion. Please stop exposing your boney skeleton of a body to the world.

It's hideous. I bet when you fuck you sound like
a bamboo wind chime in a hurricane.



Ughhhhhhhhh

[Shell Beau]

66. She is thin but damn, that is harsh!

[Monk06]

86. It's not just her physical appearance. She would look better if she dressed

more tastefully. My harsh assessment is based
on the crass nouveau riche behavior of her and
her husband, like their Arabian Nights themed
wedding.

[KG]

67. it's not her fault, but she's just not very pretty yet she's presented as some kind of diva.

[ccharles000]

42. angelina jolie

[Common Sense Party]

43. Julia Roberts. I just don't see it.

Most of the others, too.

[MillieJo]

44. I have a list

Jessica Simpson
Kelly Osborne
Sadie Frost
Sienna Miller
Paris Hilton
Joan Rivers
Nancy Sinatra
Victoria Beckham
Geri Halliwell
Katie Price (Jordan)
Demi Moore

Sylester Stillone
P Diddy
Prince
Nic Cage
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Bruce Willis
Mel Gibson
Tom Cruise
Simon Cowell

I forgot

Mariah Carey

[hobbit709]

45. Just about all of them.

[BlueJazz]

46. Madonna

[Richardo]

47. Probably all of them.

[old mark]

48. Most of them are serious jerks, and certainly overpaid, but

some stand at the top of the shitpile:
Oprah
Tom Cruise
Nick Cage
Brad Pitt
Maddonna
Amy Winehouse
The list goes on
And who is the anorexic, ugly woman who plays the former girlfriend on a show called "Burn Notice"?

PLUS: Anyone connected with "House" and with any show with David Caruso, possibly the worst actor of all time.

mark

[BulletproofLandshark]

49. Gabrielle Anwar?

If she's your definition of ugly, then give me a one-way ticket to Uglytown.

[Rambis]

88. very good

[MsKandice01]

80. Anyone connected with House?

I think Hugh Laurie is brilliant in that role.

[Shell Beau]

82. Agreed! He is great.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. most male rock singer, almost all rappers, most pop singers (i like lilly allen and madonna)

most lesbian folk singers, jennifer aniston is both irritating and unattractive, i dont get oprah, danielle steel is an idiot, conservative talk show hosts are bullies generally and lack rationality, andrew barebacking sullivan is also an idiot

i could clearly go on for ever. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. on the other hand these are people who are huge celebreties who i really like

angelina jolie, tori amos, susan sarandon, george clooney, ted kennedy, madonna, bill clinton, hillary clinton, jon stewart and stephen colbert

[bigwillq]

59. Oprah! YES!

I love this post of yours...it had me :rofl: LOL!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

63. ..

:loveya:

[MicaelS]

51. Hmmm

Paris Hilton
Any NBA/NFL ballplayer
Any entertainer who's a Scientologist

That'll do for now.

[terrya]

53. Will Smith

His popularity completely escapes me.

[racaulk]

72. I can't imagine why.

His acting is superb. Those that say that he acts the exact same in every movie he's in really have no appreciation for the difficulty and the raw acting talent it takes to appear as yourself in whatever role you are portraying.

And can you not see what a prolific and talented songwriter he is? I mean, with deep, poignant, and meaningful lyrics like "na na na na na na" and "yeah yeah yeah, uhh," what's not to like? Not to mention that it takes true talent to rip off another song every time you "create" one of yours.

:sarcasm:

I totally agree with you. I truly do no understand why people like him so much. :shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

55. Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, most C&W singers

and I'm sure I could name a few others.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

56. Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Prince

A lot of the huge celebrities I can give or take.

I don't like them enough where I will jump to their defense, but neither do I dislike them enough to name them by name.

Like Oprah. I am totally neutral on Oprah. Neither hate her or love her. I think it was cool she used to be a reporter for WJZ in Baltimore, and I watched WJZ news, but that's about it.

I guess Justin Timberlake does qualify though. I just think he is a Michael Jackson wannabe, and why anyone wants to be like Michael Jackson any more, I have no idea.

And for that matter, Michael Jackson. And Prince. Never liked either of them, even when they were big back in the 1980s. I don't understand why either of them get the words "genius" attached to them when they are both pretty mediocre, IMHO.

There are some more minor or niche celebrities or talking heads that I'm not that impressed with, but I wouldn't call them "huge." Like, for example, I think Kevin Smith's movies are highly overrated despite all the buzz from the fanboy/hipster crowd. (And for all the fanboy/hipster/Kevin Smith fans, I do apologize. But I just don't like Kevin Smith, that's all.)

[Iggo]

57. Angelina Jolie.

Bono with a uterus?

[bigwillq]

58. Tom Hanks

Jennifer Aniston--Yup, I agree.

Harrison Ford.
Will Smith--although he does seem very nice, and I love his wife but I haven't liked a movie he's made since Bad Boys.
Tom Cruise.


I am sure there are others but my brain isn't really working right now.

[DS1]

60. as much as I disagree with some of you, this thread is hilarious

it must be an up-cycle in lounge humor


btw



hit it like the fist of God

[regularguy]

61. Ed McMahon?

He's even got a plaque on our walk of fame (Philadelphia). It's sort of embarrassing to see him associated there with people like Gene Kelly and Dizzy Gillespie.

[Mad_Dem_X]

64. Brangelina and TomKat

I am sick to death of hearing about them.

[Reverend_Smitty]

75. how do you feel about Filliam H. Muffman?

that's one power couple you don't hear enough about

[Phillycat]

79. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

[Symarip]

68. All of them

If they impressed me, they probably wouldn't be celebrities.

[GarbagemanLB]

73. Keanu fucking Reeves

One of the worst actors I've ever seen yet he gets these big roles.

[Blue_Tires]

74. don't have time to make a list

so i'll say most, if not all

[Rob H.]

78. Not as "huge" as he used to be, but Kevin Costner

One of the most god-awful actors I've ever seen (on par with David Caruso and Keanu Reeves, imo). I'm dumbfounded that he still gets offered movie roles.

Edited to add Eva Longoria. Cute, yes, but I'm sick of hearing about her.

[EnviroBat]

81. Hmmmm

Insert name of any given "celebrity" here:_____________________.

I think they're all self-absorbed assholes...

[ghostsofgiants]

84. Most of them, but Bono comes instantly to mind.

[dolo amber]

87. Amy Winehouse

If her skin were several shades darker she'd never have been a blip on anyone's (well, the police and NHS maybe :shrug:)radar. And while I'm at it, "edgy" and "sad, pitiful junkie killing yourself in front of the world" are not necessarily synonymous.
