Whose a celebrity whose popularity mystifies you?

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.

THANK YOU! Stole the words right out of my mouth. I mean yeah, Pete was my favorite and Johnny goes without saying, but you can't hate Berg. Plus I kinda like Ryan Reynold's older stuff like Bolt Neck and Fool Proof.

This is probably going to make you think my opinion means nothing, but I'd have to put Will Ferrel on this list. I find him just...not funny.

And who's hating Michael Douglas? Have you *seen* Wonder Boys?

Most other people on this list I agree with.

Larry David - not. funny. his voice! his hair! his whiny wife! his disgusting friend! his NEUROSES!!!!
Tom Cruise - he only ever made one good film, Days of Thunder (but I'm prejudiced because it involves cars and 80s rock music so just ignore that) and after that...pfft!!!
Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton and Momma Hilton - the only one who's actually done anything is big Daddio! The rest are just airbrushed, make-up caked peroxide wastes of space!!!!
Jordan, Tara P-T, Jodie Marsh etc etc etc - think who we're talking about here. It really doesn't need an explanation
Homer Simpson - I know he's not real but I hate him anyway
The Friends cast - 40-something anorexia sufferers pretending to be well-adjusted 20-something New Yorkers wading their way through dating, coffee and work. oops, scratch that last one because apparently they just LIVE in central
perk!!
Whitney Houston - and iiiiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiiiiii will always luuuuuuuuuuuuve-a yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou. shut up.
Ben Affleck - GAH!!!! BENNIFER!!! GIGOLO!!! he's only made one film worth watching - Dogma. And only because it's got Jay and Silent Bob in it.
Kelsey Grammar as Frasier Crane - but only as Frasier. Frasier is just NOT funny!!!
Ricky Gervais - ugh. horrible little man.
Russell Brand - this is the man whose idea of comedy is to say "I'm a modern-day Peter Sutcliffe" and laugh about it. sick twat.
Reese Witherspoon - excepting Cruel Intentions, Walk the Line and one other movie, she has done NOTHING worth the celluloid it's shown on, but then I have an extreme, instinctive, deep-seated loathing of chick-flicks
The Arctic Monkeys - I just don't like them
Hugh Grant - CUT YOUR FRICKING HAIR!! oh, you did...GROW IT BACK!!!!! I CAN SEE YOUR FACE!!!!
Chris Moyles - "I am the voice of today's yoof!!!" no, you're not. you're a sad, fat, middle-aged git who can't admit that he's past it. waaaaaaaaaaaaay past it.

Robert De Niro - but only sometimes
Sacha Baron Cohen - Ali G? Borat? Put it away, dear.

John Travolta - good GOD you're annoying...
Julien MacDonald - mister "I won't design clothes for fat people"
Michael Jackson - just so wrong...
Britney Spears - have you SEEN the trailer for her TV show? it basically consists of her shoving her spotty face up at the camera with a piggy-nose (you know the kind kids make when they pull the tip of their nose towards their eyes?) and yelling "I am awesome!" and they let this reproduce?
chantelle - she's famous for not being famous. how stupid is that? and she can't even speak properly!!! huuuuuuy, mauh nayme's shuntawl. uh you gunna wotch ma shauw?

In defense of Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon...

Okay, a little ways up there someone commented on how the hate Halle Berry for ruining Storm, but shouldn't we be blaming the writers for that one? Bryan Singer & Co. choose to have Storm wuss out, in favor of focusing more prominantly on other characters. I mean HB didn't want to come back for X3, unless she was guaranteed that Storm would be more like she was in the comics (here's hoping she finally is). So if you want to hate Halle Berry, please hate her for Catwoman, not X-men.

As for Reese Witherspoon, yes she's done a lot of chick flicks (which I won't mock because I actually like most of them, except for Legally Blonde 2) but if you seriously doubt her acting abilities, please go out and rent Election, Vanity Fair, Freeway and The Man in the Moon. If you still hate her after that, well then I guess there's just not hope for you.

As for actors I don't get, I've never understood the popularity of

-Josh Hartnett. I don't hate the guy, I just don't get why people love him.
- Tara Reid. She essentially famous for being drunk and flashing people.
- Kelly Rippa - She like Kathy Lee Gifford on speed
- Star Jones - where do I begin?
- Hilary Duff - I know she's been mentioned a few times already, I just really hate her.

I agree with that. It's easy to dismiss him as being popular because he's pretty, but he gave some good performances. I liked him in 12 Monkeys, Fight Club and Troy, and I thought he was excellent in what is probably my favourite movie, Seven.

---

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

---

Fight Club was the best thing that Brad Pitt ever did, and it was the only time I ever seen him really act.
