10 Celebrities I Love to Hate
Because I've got things on my mind, and I'm distracted and at loose ends, I've decided to fall back on a no-brainer entry idea -- the list. Today's list is the ten celebrities I love to hate. I am merely listing the first ten that came to mind and they are not in order of rank. And I'm sure I'll think of some I like to hate more once I post this entry. For the purposes on this list, I define a "celebrity" as merely someone whose name is recognized by a lot of people
1. Mel Gibson
The man is a flaming anti-Semite and probably an all-around bigot as well.
2. Richard Simmons
That Disco Stu hairstyle went out years ago, and there's just something about him that makes me feel queasy.
3. James Dobson
This promoter of theocracy should focus on his own damned family for a change.
4. Ann Coulter
She is merely one of many pundits who epitomize the coarsening to political discourse in our society.
5. Dr Laura
A busybody, self-righteous moralist spouting her own brand of bigotry mislabeled as psychology.
6. Dr Phil
Dr Laura's male counterpart. What is it about these Dr. Firstname celebrities, anyway?
7. George Bush
One of our least intelligent presidents who has earned his spot on the list of the ten worst presidents
8. Fred Phelps
The obssessively anti-gay fundie who protests funerals. Need I say more?
9. Chef Gordon Ramsey
The petulant, tantrum throwing chef from the reality show, Hell's Kitchen. Grow up and get a damned life, already.
10. Simon Cowell
The wiseass judge on American Idol who apparently gets off on humiliating contestants who don't make the cut. What a prick.
Feel free to list the celebrities you love to hate.
Well, I can see where you're coming from, and even with Atlantic in the way
I can totally empathize with your loathing of Coulter, Phelps, and so on.
But I think you're misjudging Gordon Ramsay. He does a show over here where
he tries to rescue failing restaurants, and apart from his passion for
service and clear idea of marketing, the thing that really stands out is
his superlative way of handling people. Beneath all the swearing (which, I
grant you, does grate after a while, but hey - he's a Scot), there's a deep
understanding of what makes people tick, and an ability to spot and nurture
people with talent, whatever their circumstances. More than once he's seen
something in a lowly kitchen hand, and helped them up the ladder by
offering them a job in one of his restaurants.
Duke, Ramsey does the same show here and he's done two of them in/near my
home town. The restaurant owners all said the show is totally staged and
fake and that Ramsey is indeed a prick.
