Name three "celebrities' who you just don't like

[Davetello]

I will add the entire British monarchy to my list. Just a bunch of talentless wasters who are the actual benefit scroungers - it shows how class still pervades our society. If someone like Prince Harry had been born on a council estate and behaved as he does, he'd be labelled a chav scumbag and complete vermin. But because he exited the 'proper' hole via genetic lottery he and the rest of the wasters are admired by sycophantic sheep. If I had my way the entire family would be thrown into the Atlantic ocean.

Kinda veering into politics here but ahh well.

It's you're btw.^^ AND nope, it's just another thread that focuses on negativity, in a forum that just loves to thrive on it. (Myself included, I should have just avoided this thread, but oh well).
So I listed the three celebrities and thought well, might as well give a good reason as to why I dislike them as opposed to just saying I don't like his/her face/ their style of music er whatever.
I dislike One direction as a music (pop group?), but I don't have anything against them as individuals.
I could care less who you dislike. I personally don't think that Timberlake is the most awesome guy ever, but the guy seems likeable and talented (I thought he was hilarious on SNL).
Thanks for totally assuming something about me though, that's the sign of a really astute individual right there.

It's 'your', not you're', as I was saying your love-in, not you are love-in. No idea what made you think it was 'you're'.

Edited the rest as I was being a pr!ck. Apologies.

I also still don't understand to this day how a black man turned into a white feminine looking drag queen over the course of his life. He was good looking in 1981, what the hell did he do to himself?

Probably, it's the dominance of over-exposed European features as desirable, which might have contributed to him wanting such features. Like, a lot of black women hate their natural hair and try to straighten their hair with harsh chemicals because straight hair more desirable. My step-brother uses skin-lightening lotion because he gets made fun of for his darker brown skin. My little cousin told me that she likes my nose because it's not as flat as hers.

These kinds of things are what so many colored kids face when they're rarely represented equally, amongst whites in the US. Like, the latest X-Men movie had a diverse cast with many racial and gender identities (the award winning French black actor, Omar Sy, and Ellen Page, a Gay actress...to name a few). But, after the first 15 minutes, they focused the rest of the movie on the white male actors and straight actress. The lack of fair representation amongst colored people in the US affects the way many colored people see and respect themselves.

It must be someone in showbusiness, due to the religious and political rules of the forum, and it can be for any reason(s). I'm baffled by the appeal of the following:

1) Justin Timberlake. Really can't understand the obsession with this guy. His singing sounds like a 12 year old boy is having his balls locked in a vice. He isn't really anything special in any way, shape or form, yet he seems to be universally admired. Staggering.

I never really cared too much for Timberlake either and his songs are okay/average, I mentioned this beforehand in another thread, but I never understood how society accepted his more confident macho, cool solo image when leaving his N' Sync boyband years after his behavior with the whole 2004 Super Bowl incident contradicted that.

But it's not surprising, because the way he couldn't stop whining and throwing shade publicly at Britney Spears after their breakup two years earlier, was already hinting a lot about his annoying character.

He did have vitiligo (an autoimmune disorder that attacks the melanocytes [the cells that give pigment to skin color]) and seemed to suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (with all of those plastic surgeries). As for how Micheal Jackson possibly developed body dysmorphic disorder, his father Joseph, was notorious for physically and mentally abusing Micheal according to Micheal and some of his siblings, including Joseph saying Micheal had a "big nose". As with most icons who go into self-destruction, some reach a level of stardom/entitlement where they get tired of the original friends and acquaintances that would keep them grounded, and choose to surround themselves with "yes" men.

After that she came off as trashy and fake.
I remember going over to a cousins house and one of em was watching keeping up with the Kardashians and I just was dumbfounded at how terrible that show is. Her lips got bigger, her eybrows kept rising, and I thought to myself "What kind of a role model are you"? Young girls apparently look up to this vapid mess, as well as promoting those sketchers shoes that don't really do anything and looking sooooo plastic it's disheartening.

She's probably the most baffling to me. I can understand the excitement over actors, athletes, and singers/artists since there's some quality or talent that people enjoy (even though it's reached to absurd celebrity-worship highs), but what does she do? If she wasn't somewhat good looking, most tabloids wouldn't care.

Did you know she has her own video game now? No joke. She's poised to make $200 million for it. Maybe I should have posted this news in the "Video Game" subforum since it seems to be so successful and popular.

I applaud you sir.

Though most of his views in everything are narrow.

Okay, this is a powderkeg waiting to go off. And judging by the insults that are starting to get tossed, I'd say soon...

And Cyber... jeez, man... why is everything you do so teetering on the edge of racist? You need to govern yourself a lil more.
