Famous people who piss you off

bee_yorkI just put on the TV to watch my beloved Seinfeld and noticed Judge Judy was on on another channel. This amused me slightly as earlier today I noticed people discussing that awful show Carnivale on an LJ community I frequent. The reason this amuses me is because both shows feature celebrities I absolutely cannot STAND.
Judge Judy is a horrific human being who I hated SO MUCH as a teenager (I was in high school when her show was popular) that I actually had a dream where I beat her up. Yup, slammed her into a fence, punched her in the face, got her down on the ground and completely fucked her up. The dream surprised the hell outta me, but it was a pretty cool dream. Though it makes sense I would have a dream like that at the age of 16, I guess!
As for stupid Carnivale, one of that main stars of it, Clea Duval, PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. It's just her face. I hate her face. A lot. She is hideous. How does someone with her ugly mug get on TV and the movies?
FIX YOUR FUCKING FACE, OMG.
My first experience with her was in The Craft. Remember that movie? It was about 3 hot teenage girls who were witches, and her.
And then there's Anna Paquin, who looks like she's bit hit in the face with a shovel. UGH, YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, FIX YOUR FUCKING TEETH. Ugghhhhhhhhhh. It sucks that she plays the MAIN CHARACTER of one of my favourite shows (True Blood) but at least there's enough other awesome people on the show so that I can concentrate on them and ignore her. :P
What celebrities drive *YOU* mad, simply because of their annoying FACES? Or because of their atrocious attitude (Judge Judy has 2 strikes against her there, lol). Tell me, I'm curious! BUT! I'm not interested in reading about the popular stars to hate--ie, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga*, the Kardashians, Snookie, etc etc...I get it, everyone hates them, everyone's sick of them, etc. No no, I want to hear about the stars whose ugly faces make you wonder how the fuck they got in the business in the first place and/or have shitty attitudes who aren't already bashed to death every single day on the internet.
Oh yeah, and I know everyone likes to fap over how ~amazing~ Carnivale was but that show nearly put me to sleep and I'm sick and tired of everyone being all, "OMG you hated that show? Really??!" so if you were gonna comment to moan about that, save it. :P
*Personally I think you're insane if you hate her, but that's neither here nor there in this discussion. ;)

Date: 2011-11-11 09:48 pm (UTC)As for people I hate, it's this woman from a cooking show on the Food Network called French Food at Home. Laura Calder is her name. I fucking HATE her. It's not her face per se, she's kind of cute, it's her attitude, and the way she says the French words. It gets me unbelievably ANGRY whenever I see her - to the point that Dan has to change the channel if I'm in the room.
BTW, I think that dream about Judge Judy is AWESOME! If I could control my dreams, that's what I want to dream about tonight!

Date: 2011-11-11 09:52 pm (UTC)Ahahaha I LOVE IT! I love it because even though I don't know Laura Calder, I totally know that sentiment. There's certain commercials that make me that irate as well. I have to change the channel or else I'll flip out, lol

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! -_-

Date: 2011-11-12 12:29 am (UTC)Everything about her. Her writing. Her film. Her TV show. The fact she was a stripper "for fun" and was discovered on the internet when whoever- her manager? Was looking for porn and found her blog. How somehow that's supposed to constitute "paying her dues." More than that- she can't just admit she was INCREDIBLY LUCKY- not only that she was discovered that way, but that her first script was even MADE and picked up by talented people and the movie was "good." Her stupid fake name. Remember the shoe debacle for the Oscars? Some super famous shoe designer- I GUESS- makes one pair of custom shoes for a nominee each year and he offered to make her some. She helped design them and everything- INCLUDING THE USE OF DIAMONDS making for a million dollar price tag. Then decided to not wear them and threw a HUGE FIT (http://www.myspace.com/diablocody/blog/360462900) saying people tricked her and were taking advantage of her CRED (pay no attention the designer himself was super famous). WTF. Why did she think she was being asked to design a shoe? Even if she didn't know, it wasn't a bad thing! HE WAS MAKING HER A GIFT BECAUSE HE LIKED HER WORK.
JESUS even reading her blog makes me want to puke. It sounds like every other whiny 13 year old on the internet. Compare that to the designer's response (http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2008/02/stuart_weitzman_response.php).
I think my Haterade is even more potent because I had a friend who WORSHIPPED her- so I could never say anything about how much she bothered me without an ultra defensive, "SHE'S AMAZING. SHE'S ADORABLE. YOU JUST DON'T LIKE SEXUALLY EMPOWERED WOMEN" argument coming back at me. Well, now that person is gone, so I can FREELY SAY- THIS CELEB MAKES ME INSANE.
She's quieted down, so maybe I should rehash my knowledge and back up. She became a mom and isn't out SHOCKING and PUNKING the world anymore. Maybe this is just vintage annoyance, but it's enough that I don't ever want to follow any of her work... uh, ever.
The end!

Date: 2011-11-15 03:08 pm (UTC)I LOVE what you wrote about Shannon. I never thought of it that way, and I agree, she's a pretty good example of a stong female character. =) I LOVE what you said here:
I like to call it the "strong character, female" vs "strong female, character" problem.
SOOOOOO well-put. That sums up so much right there. <3

Date: 2011-11-18 12:17 am (UTC)I had that argument about Shannon SO MANY TIMES during LOST. Kate was one of my least favourite characters because she hits like every "strong female, character" trope and is almost 100% defined by the men around her. They gave her a tilde kind of tilde plot with Aaron- but it always felt really hamfisted to me. People would say I just didn't like her because she was a female and it was like- whaa? SUN was my favourite Lostie character before she was ruined. Before Ben, ROUSSEAU was my favourite character period. That first season was filled with amazing female characters, of which Shannon was wrong. Just because a girl is an airhead, doesn't mean she isn't a strong character- look at all the famous valley girls from Buffy and Clueless!
I think that little quotation, "strong character, female" came from that article- but if it didn't, I can't remember where I read it but I have used that SO MANY TIMES in life. It's such a wonderful, succinct statement!

Date: 2011-11-18 02:26 am (UTC)Omg. I like Kate, but you are SO RIGHT. I never really realized that, but you really hit the nail on the head there. That's a pretty accurate description of her, now that I think about it!
People would say I just didn't like her because she was a female
Wth? People said this to you? o_O Man, people are weiiiiiird!
I really like the way you've described strong characters who are female. I really like your perspective and you've made me look at things a bit differently. I love it when that happens. :)

Date: 2011-11-12 01:07 am (UTC)i think people think she's pretty because she's blonde and charismatic. if they took that away, they wouldn't think much of her, as i do.

Date: 2011-11-12 02:40 pm (UTC)ho looks like she's bit hit in the face with a shovel LMAO I used to have a picture of Vin Diesel on my wall (circa the xXx movie) and my sister made the exact same comment about him!
As for celebs I dislike simply for their annoying faces, Jessica Alba. Seriously. I have never understood the way people drool all over her. She's so BORING and PLAIN looking. Like, seriously, her face is like a bowl of oatmeal. Blaaaaaaaand. Also, John Malkovitch.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-12 05:25 pm (UTC)And loooolllll Jessica Alba. She IS very dull-looking, very ordinary. I LOVE that you compared her face to a bowl of oatmeal. That's the best description I've heard of a generic-looking celebrity, I think I may actually start using that now! :D
John Malkovitch is DEFINITELY one of the ugliest men in Hollywood, ooooh boy did you ever hit the nail on the head with that one! But, he's not as bad as.....WILLEM DAFOE!!!!! :O
