No-one mentions Keanu? He must be the second-highest-paid non-actor in history, after the Cruiser.

Except Tom Cruise is probably reasonably smart. Wacky religion though.

I just get the feeling that Keanu Reeves just..sorta..lucked..his way to fame and fortune.

Don'tcha hate that?

Cheers,

Apparently he's actually good in the up and coming Scanners (and it not animated, its rotoscoped or something, so they're just colouring in his actual performance.

But yeah, based on some of the things he's done, over-rated.

Talking of reality t.v. stars, the single one I'd not object to seeing more of is Darius Danesh. After the crazy unbelivable random patheticness of his auditions. He actually managed to turn it into something good and beat Simon Cowell at his own stupid game, he made an album, which considering the pop-muppets who won Idol were still covering other peoples songs badly, was ok for its level and original at least!

Plus, seeing him on tv, he actually has a personality, he's got the joke now, and he's a laugh a minute (ok, so I 've only seen one appearence, but he amused me)

I think someone should give him a job presenting something, he's got the makings of a decent t.v. personlity, then when his tastes start wandering, he may start making music for grown-ups, and I for one will give it a listen.

oh, sorry, that was my essay on Darius. You'd actually think I liked the guy wouldn't you?

Pretty much all of the previously mentioned , plus:-

Jeremy Paxman
Most 'celebrity' chefs, even the 'sainted' Delia
Garry Shandling. Maybe I'm missing something, but ???
*Alec* Baldwin. Get a diet and some anger management classes already.
Jeremy Clarkson - should be made to wear drag forever in punishment for being a misogynistic dinosaur
The Spice Girls - just retire, now.
All boy bands - ditto
Eminem and most rappers - silencing order!
Most modern R&B stars - ditto
Trinny and Susanna - please, go, now.

Trinny and Suzanna.

Yup, (maby its cause I recognise to much or my self in them) (but) first against the wall when the revolution comes.

I have to nominate the one true oxygen theif fake celeb though - Chantalle, 'fake celeb' in big brother, and in some cruel self-fulfilling curse 'fake celeb' in life.

Does anyone find her absolutely nausiating? She's like a cheap-seconds Paris Hilton clone fed through a chav-itiser.

That "lump of mashed potatoes" as you call him, happens to be a dear friend of mine and he's the most sweet, kind, nice, generous, charming and talented guy I've ever had the pleasure to know.
Sorry to hear you have such a low opinion about him...but alas! You have the right to express your feelings.

I agree about Tom Cruise, though.

I'm Ba-aaaack!

Yes I've thought of someone else!!!

First though, allow me to add my support for everyone else's comments with the possible exception of Brad Pitt and Jeremy Clarkson (I can't help it... he makes me laugh!)

The new people for my list are two people I have hated since the moment I found out how much money they were making.

... Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

I mean, all they're famous for is being identical. That is biology, not talent or skill. I would be perfectly happy if I never saw either of them ever again. In anything! Grrrrr

Rove Mcmanus - the host of an Australian interview show ('Rove', of course). I just don't know how this unfunny and annoying little man got a tv show and why he is still on the air. He gets all the big stars as well. His show isn't even in the top 100 yet he is this celebrated Aussie icon.

Julie Roberts definetly. Why do people go watch her movies?

As an aussie its hard to say this but Nicole Kidman
She can't act at all yet she is in every big Hollywood movie.

Matthew McConaughey - Can't act. Rides on his looks more than any other Hollywood star

I wasn't going to chime in here, but there is one name that hasn't appeared yet and as far as I'm concerned it should be at the top or tied for the top with Paris Hilton. That fact only kind of scared me into posting.

First, I have to say I don't agree with every mention, but if a name has popped up more than 3 times, (and several have...) I can't argue with any of those.

Pamela Anderson is the poster child for everything that is wrong with Hollywood.

I was going to write this post in response to the one about Ryan Reynolds. But I'm going to start by sticking up for Ant and Dec.

Their popularity may be mistifying in a country where people get on tv for breaking up with their girlfriend to marry Chantelle or for cheating at Who wants to be a millionaire. I for one am glad that people will tune in every Saturday night to see nice normal people like Ant and Dec. They may not be the most talented people in the world. But their SMTV live for children made a nice change from bbc one rubbish for kids and who couldn't love them after Let's get ready to rumble (from one of their three succesful albums). Anyway my point is I think they're sweet so leave them alone .

Also if you don't like Ryan Reynolds and haven't seen Two guys and a girl (formerly two guys, a girl and a pizza place, also starring Nathan Fillion) then you should check it out. If you have and still hate him, ok.
