Celebrities who everyone seems to love, but you secretly can't stand?

[Leigh]

There are celebrities that seem to attract a lot of mass appeal on the internet and media culture. Everyone seems to love these people, they can do no wrong. These people aren't even 'bad' people or generally don't seem to have anything particularly unattractive about them. But for some reason, be it antipathy, weird borderline personality rages...you just don't like them for whatever reason.

Zooey Deschanel is the worst. Can't stand her. Same for Katy Perry, presumably because they are the same person.

what the fuck winona ryder is so sweet


I don't really *hate* them, but I don't get why some people oogle over scarlet johansson. I mean she's not bad looking but... she's just normal i guess?

I don't like to "not stand" famous people unless they are literally Hitler or something. Because someday it might be me, or one of you, that somebody decides they "can't stand" because they said one thing or looked the wrong way at something or whatever. (inb4 this derails the thread)

That said, Liam Gallagher's voice makes me want to throw myself out a window. When the repair guys fixing my shower leave I will vocaroo you all a sample of what Wonderwall sounds like to me.

[Shorty]

Angelina Jolie. I don't really "get it." She can be a good actress, yet she accepts such shitty roles.

[Pike]

Angelina Jolie's best role was, without a doubt, in "Hackers".

[Forsaken Lover]

That's because Hackers is one of the best films of all time.

[escobert]

Angelina Jolie. I don't really "get it." She can be a good actress, yet she accepts such troutty roles.

and she isn't that good looking!

I can't think of anyone because I was gonna say Angelina is fugly.

ok I promised I would do it

Angelina Jolie. I don't really "get it." She can be a good actress, yet she accepts such troutty roles.

I thought the love from fans came mostly because of all the charity work she did? I could be wrong though.

[Forsaken Lover]

She's sexy and by all accounts I've heard she's a very nice lady.

Although Keanu is attractive and by all accounts a very nice guy and that doesn't stop him from being a punchline. So I dunno.

[Jinx]

I also do not think Angelina Jolie is attractive in the slightest.

But yeah, all she's done makes her seem like a really nice person. I think getting her breasts removed because she MIGHT get breast cancer in the future was a bit ridiculous, but hey, her body?

All of the people I listed had to do with their level of attractiveness or their artistic work for me (although I don't really care much for Taylor Swift on a personality level).

I don't understand why you would say that's ridiculous? I actually think that's a pretty crazy thing to say. Would you say someone who got a mole removed to possibly prevent future skin cancer is ridiculous? So often women fear the thought of having to have their breasts removed because they think it makes them less womanly or something, and they are shamed for it. For Angelina who is such a public figure to do it, and to take the time to be open about it is amazing and brave. She has taken control of her body, yeah she only 'might' have gotten cancer, but she lost her own mother to cancer so she probably felt really empowered to do it. It is her choice, and her choice actually inspired a whole lot of women to get themselves checked out for that BRCA gene mutation.

[Shorty]

Yeah, apparently breast cancer is something that runs in her family. It doesn't really seem like something someone would do for a publicity stunt. I imagine women parting with their breasts would cause a pretty big identity issue.

[Shiny]

George Clooney

He looks like my grandmother. I will never understand why people find him attractive or even a good actor. I understand the first thing is subjective but the second thing definitely isn't. He plays himself in every movie. He is lucky that comes off as charming and nice to people or he wouldn't have gone very far. But even that doesn't make me dislike the guy. I judge more on character than anything else.

I've met quite a few celebs and none were particularly dickish just standoffish or intense if anything. Recent one was Jason Lee from Mallrats.

Also I agree with Pike. Liam Gallagher has an awful voice and Oasis are overated garbage. I feel okay saying that since they are shitty people.

[theundeadhero]

I personally don't give a fuck about any of them one way or the other. I also don't understand why so many other people do.

Boy meets girl. Boy goes to jail. Boy hears in jail that girl is fish and chipping every bloke she happens by. Boy writes song.

That said, Noel is the singer of the group.

I guess you guys missed the part where I followed it up by saying "hey, her body".

And I never thought or said she did it as a publicity stunt.

Scarlet J
(She's purely average looking to me, dunno why she's so famous for her looks)

Meagan Fox

Lady Gaga

Tom Cruise
(Obvious reasons)

Beyonce

Shia Labeouf
(He comes off as being really annoying, I dunno why. Even his face looks annoying)

Ariana Grande
(Tries too hard)

[Slothy]

Shia Labeouf
(He comes off as being really annoying, I dunno why. Even his face looks annoying)

Not really appropriate in this thread since no one actually likes him.

[Jinx]

I dunno, I like him better after that Shia LaBeouf video (Pheesh and Lockharted know the one).

[DanielCLFFF13]

Me personally, JKT48 if you guys ever heard of them, they more like girl band or something.
I think most of the fans look on you-know-what from their appearance, I mean wearing outfit like school uniforms it's fine, but really Indonesian reaction is ridiculous. Personally, I like their music, bring more like Jpop to Indo which is good, add another Jpop genre on Indonesia like J-Rocks.
But the reaction of Indonesia people make me just can't stand it, like they never seen something like that for decades.

I mean Indonesia got to many fan services from Dangdut genre, with those "sexy moves" whatever that is, I don't really care.
When JKT48 comes around, all hate come to Jpop. It's not like all Jpop music is like that. Since around 2012 or 2013, when this cencorship breaks out in Indonesia TV. Indonesian hate to something a little more appealing is unbearable. But Dangdut genre is still pretty much welcome, but what is the different? Dangdut use their "sexy moves" meanwhile JKT48 get all the hates. "Like Japanese culture shouldn't be brought to Indo." Uhhh okay...? "How about Dangdut then? Is that really an Indonesian culture?"

And no, I'm not JKT48 fans, I just furious when all hate comes to Japanese.

The point is the ones I can't stand of is Indonesian reaction for something just come from different country.

But this is my opinion :)

Wait, did I go off topic too much??

[Madame Adequate]

Shia Labeouf, Actual Cannibal is a great man :colbert:

I don't know why anyone likes Ellie Goulding. Her singing is trout, it sounds like someone threatened to shoot her if she ever sang with force or emotion.

[noxious.sunshine]

People freak out over Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift...

But I don't the appeal of any of them, although I've warmed up to T. Swizzle just a tad. Cuz she's so darn nice to her fans. Otherwise she seems to be stuck in middle school.

Adam Levine, yeah. I don't get his appeal

Blake Lively also, but even I think she's fucking beautiful so no argument there.

[Slothy]

Adam Levine, yeah. I don't get his appeal

I don't know. I thought he was quite good at having his arm hacked off and bleeding/being shot to death in the second season of American Horror Story. I found it a very enjoyable performance.

[Shiny]

Scarlet J


Not my cup of tea, but I understand why people are in to her looks because she doesn't look plastic and anorexic like a majority of other starlets. Her curves and imperfections are endearing to many.

[Night Fury]

Shia Labeouf
(He comes off as being really annoying, I dunno why. Even his face looks annoying)

Not really appropriate in this thread since no one actually likes him.

I like Shia, he has a sense of humour and besides, he'll always be Louis Stevens to me.

And yeah, this, tears of laughter every damn time

[Shorty]

I guess you guys missed the part where I followed it up by saying "hey, her body".

And I never thought or said she did it as a publicity stunt.

I can see that; it was merely a comment on why someone might do something that seemed ridiculous.

Samuel L. Jackson. I'm over him. Seriously. Good, awesome roles in the past. Presently hideously typecast along the same lines that Johnny Depp is.

[Flaming Ice]

Taylor Swift......Hey let's date this guy so i can sing a song about him

Justin Bieber.......let's do something extremely stupid because my brain dead fans swoon over me anyways.

[Madame Adequate]

I won't hear a word spoken against TayTay :colbert:

[Shorty]

I used to be on the hate train for T. Swift but I've really come around to her lately. I don't care for her music, but I think she's a really positive influence for young women. It's a shame she is is stereotyped for her boy songs as she also has songs on fights with friends, growing up, her mom, loneliness, anorexia, fitting in and so on.

[Shiny]

All that plays on the radio of her music is songs about dudes she broke up with so that's all anyone knows because they're obviously not buying her albums unless their fans.

[Laddy]

Like, I'm better on T. Swift than I was, and musically she's better but still boring and despite what she would claim an absurdly large amount of her hit singles were (and to a lesser extent, still are) about a) how she's better than other girls or b) how very high-profile boys have wronged her. This was not a case of her being treated unfairly but rather a major and deliberate part of her public image for the majority of her career. Which, I'm sorry, are pretty reprehensible themes in my opinion.

[Chris]

Miley Cyrus. Hannah Montana or not, I just don't get it. -_-" Also, I really don't care for Beyonce, either. Her music really is porn, but so cleverly disguised.

[MissH]

Angelina Jolie.

Yes she adopts a load of kids and saved them from dire straits and whatever, but I will never EVER forgive her for what she did she Jen Aniston. Never!

[Bubba]

Jason Segel.

He just makes me cringe in everything that he's in. I will actively avoid any film/tv show/country that he is in.

[noxious.sunshine]

Taylor has always been a catty bitch in a good chunk of her songs. Like the one supposedly about Camilla Belle (who I think is gorgeous). But like I said, I've come around to her just a tad bit.

I love Shia. I have ever since Even Stevens.

[Vyk]

Almost every country music artist. Barely any of them know good lyrical composition. They frequently throw off their own melody by forcing words that don't work very well. They almost all have trouble doing rhymes or being imaginatively descriptive in their lyrics. It's sad when rap and rnb artists who focus on nothing but drugs money and butches can compose a more compelling lyrical style and flow. Country music artists think they have to hit everything on the nose without even trying. And everyone loves them for it. Probably because everyone can come up with the same lyrics without even trying. My brother died so now I drive his truck around! Genius...

[Shiny]

Angelina Jolie.

Yes she adopts a load of kids and saved them from dire straits and whatever, but I will never EVER forgive her for what she did she Jen Aniston. Never!
Psh people are so willing to jump on Angelina Jolie but not Brad Pitt for being a piece of trout cheater who also contributed to the affair. Screw them both and also Jen Aniston because I'm tired of hearing about her relationship woes. I am also pretty sure Brad Pitt has been an affair before with Robin Givens when she was married to Mike Tyson. As far as I'm concerned the two home wreckers are made for each other.

[Rocket Edge]

I hate Anne Hathaway. She is so fake and such a diva.

Scarlett Johansson I don't mind, but I don't see why lads go mad over her. I don't find her attractive.

Jay Baruchel. His voice goes through my head.

Beyoncé. Why does she talk with a put on deep accent? Oh and the whole 'I am an angel but go out with a rapper, how cool am I?'. That song she put out 'Soldier' or whatever it was called was hilarious. Yeah that's probably wrong but it still irks me.

I agree really with many of you. Adam Levine is a plank so is so up his own ass it's embarrassing.

I dislike any person who is fake. Example: Cheryl Cole.

The top award however goes to Kim Kardashian. Words cannot describe how much I loathe her.

[noxious.sunshine]

Everyone hates Kim though.

Like it's not a secret.

She's dull and vain and boring.

Also, James Franco. The more I look at his stupid face, the more I just can't take him seriously. He looks like he's always high and about to laugh. And he's weird and hits on underage girls on instagram.

Also also Bradley Cooper. Rocket Raccoon did him some vindication, but ever since I watched He's Just Not That Into You, I cannot get him out of my mind as a scuzzy asshole creep. And he was terrible in Silver Linings Playbook, I don't give a trout what anyone says.

What if I said it, wife? What if I said he wasn't as terrible as you think he was? Would you listen?

Seriously, he's not terrible in it. Not great, either, but come on, he's kind of better at the acting than you'd think, given some of his early choices and work.

We're agreed on Franco, though. Dude's a wank.

[Vyk]

I've heard one or two stories from Cooper's fans meeting him and him coming off as uninterested or full of himself. Granted it could be a coincidence that they met him on an off day. Also possible, or likely, he's a douche that just plays himself in most roles. Can't say I'm honestly that fond of him myself outside of the hangover. And even there he's a douche. It's just funny in that context. Kinda reminds me of my hatred of Katherine Heigle just from seeing her in Knocked Up and then hearing rumors that's she's just that way. Who knows how true it is. But it is interesting and mildly vindicating

Well celebrities mistreating their fans is a pet peeve of mine, so I'll take back my defense of Cooper. Sorry, wife. You're right. He sucks.

[Loony BoB]

I don't hate anyone, really. If I had to pick out people that I don't care for much while others go to big degrees of love towards 'em, I'd have to agree with the following mentions...

- Lady Gaga
- Beyoncé
- James Franco
- Angelina Jolie
- Daniel Radcliffe

and will add

- Will Farrel (I think it's an American vs. British style of comedy thing, but I wouldn't mind seeing him act in a serious role similar to that seen at the end of Lego Movie)
- Jimmy Fallon (just find him to be so forced)

All of these celebs have their moments that I do like them, though. Well, okay, maybe not Daniel Radcliffe. Maybe not Franco either. But the others. They have moments!

I mean, what's the context of meeting these fans, though? Is it at a public event where they know fans will be there and they'll have to be met or greeted? Or is it when they're out living their private lives or when they're working and people barge over and want to meet them?

I know all of us would like to meet our celebrity idols, but you wouldn't just randomly walk up to a stranger enjoying their meal and interrupt them for a conversation and pictures. So I think if you do that to a celebrity and they're rude to you, you kind of get what you deserve. Just because they're in the public eye doesn't mean they're not allowed to have a private life or their boundaries shouldn't be respected.

[Vyk]

The one story I remember most was at a diner or something. Just a chance meeting. So really understandable. It's just funny to me and memorable as an anecdote because the guy immediately had a chance encounter with Nathan Fïllïon and was super impressed with how gracious and friendly he was. And it completely disenchanted this ex Cooper fan. But it's admittedly all circumstance. I wouldn't want to deal with fans while trying to eat either. But I wouldn't turn them away either

[chionos]

- Will Farrel (I think it's an American vs. British style of comedy thing, but I wouldn't mind seeing him act in a serious role similar to that seen at the end of Lego Movie)
- Jimmy Fallon (just find him to be so forced)


I've never understood peoples' love of Fallon either.

As for Will Farrel, have you seen Stranger Than Fiction? For one, it's a brilliant movie in its own right, and for two, it's a style break for Farrel, and he's actually really good at it. There's another, more recent, movie about him and a kid that was very different and again he played against type.

Oh, agreed. I don't think people should be allowed to terrorize/stalk/annoy their favorite celebrities, but at the same time, as long as it's always in the proper context, celebrities have to pay for their fame. Everyone knows what it involves. I know if I had fans, I'd be appreciative. Some celebrities take their celebrity for granted, and it's just obnoxious. There are plenty of celebrities who get just as much attention as anyone else and somehow have never had a bad run-in with fans. It's part of the job. All the millions of dollars and adoration and connections and privileges come with a price, and that price is not being a huge prick to people who like you.
