Which public figure irritates you the most?
Excluding Bush or members of his administration, which public figures (TV, movies, music, politics, et cetera) irritate you the most?

My vote still goes with Clay Aiken. Every time I see him and hear him croon his way through Barry Manilow-esque horseshit, my blood pressure shoots through the roof.

Let's get your thoughts.

1. Fran Drescher...
her voice makes my ears bleed everytime I hear her talk.

She does, however, look rather hot in those Old Navy commercials...

3. the girl who fills in for Larry King
(I forget her name) she almost always talks about some child murder rape thing; what a disgusting wench.

She reminds me of a town gossip :puke: all about innuendo and speculation and little regard for facts, in short, the embodyment of the modern media and it's revolting lack of standards.

4. Now, I would like to tell a tasteless Clay Aiken joke.
:)

Q: What was the original title of Clay Aiken's CD, Measure of a Man?
A: Two Inches and Inverted

9. Don't know her name, but
She's a blonde on either faux or cnn or msnbc, and her voice is soooooooooooooooo over phoney. Reminds me of Ted Baxter on Mary Tyler Moore show. Like they went to the same boadcast school. Only no offense to Ted Baxter, he was a hoot. Crude, wish I could think of her name. She sounds like a horse? Has short hair.


Michael Jackson is starting to grind on my nerves too. Outta sight, outta mind.

The ultimate smooth-talking anti-Christ hypocrite. If Jesus caught Robertson's act, he'd bitch-slap the hate peddler straight into hell.

13. I absolutely HATE John Cusack
He is the worst guy ever. I hate his stupid face. I wish clinical and commercial death on John Cusack and every one of his stupid, awful, brain-wracking movies, respectively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will conceive two children in sin and their names will be John and Cusack and they will be wicked and untalented and fabulously wealthy.

I hate John Cusack!!!!!!!!

15. ***snarf***!!!
Good one! Two children in sin... Too funny! :D


So, just what did Mr. Cusack do to make you detest him so? I think he's kinda cute, but I'm not up on his movies, so I can't judge his talent.

25. I like him too
Cusack is a good guy and, as far as I'm concerned, when he was younger, he had the most beautiful face for a man. Just delicious. Alas, time is starting to work on him a little so he is still a very nice-looking man but not the perfect beauty that he was back in the day. I'm still looking for another drool-y face quite like that.

Sick, huh???

Can we nominate every talking head at Fox News?

Mel Gibson turns my stomach. Kevin Costner too. Can't watch their movies at all.

I'm so sick of those two I could vomit. The Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee/Kid Rock saga comes in a close second. Who gives a crap?

he went to Mass. and married Matt Damon. I heard him joking about it on E! when I was channel surfing late at night. That would be cool!

21. Oh lordie
There are too many. Way too many. Some I don't like simply because they're snots, others because they're loud and obnoxious.

Since political figures are out, let's try a list of a few who aren't politicians.

I agree with Fred Phelps for one.
Roy Moore
Cybill Sheperd
Tom Cruise
Richard Gere
Paula Abdul
Simon whatever his last name
Bruce Willis (I used to like him, until he became an "in-your-face" conservative)
Gerald McRaney
Kurt Russell
Ted Nugent
Mariah Carey
J. Michael Straczynski


I used to work for a studio, and got to meet a lot of "talent" there. Many celebrities are down to earth, but some of the above were certainly less than that.

"Terry and The Pirates". I can't think of his name but I don't want to look it up.

34. Shepard Smith from Faux News
My God, that man is smug and arrogant. He acts like he's God's gift to journalism.

I'm afraid Anderson Cooper is creeping up on my irritation meter.


Hall of Famer for most irratating: Andrew Sullivan.

Although she might actually be a part of the BFEE when you consider how indebted Chimpy-boy is to her. I would like to see her broom get a flameout at about 10,000 feet.
