Weekly Ten: Celebs We Love to Hate

August 17, 2009 9:00 am     Posted in Buzz, Entertainment, HaHa  Melanie - Northeastern University g+ page

Every week, I write CollegeCandy’s Weekly Ten on whatever hard-hitting issue I find relevant. It doesn’t get more hard-hitting than CollegeCandy, people. Stay with me.


By Melanie

Always entertained by the fantastic “Celebretard Showdowns,” I was inspired to write a top ten list of the celebs that I (and hopefully you) love to hate. We hate them, we want them out of our lives, but we can’t stop reading, blogging and talking about these trainwrecks.

10. Paris Hilton
Is there anyone more entertaining than Miss Hilton? From her sex tape to the Simple Life, we can’t get enough of her. Her prison scandal was a headliner on CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and all other news outlets. Even though her vocabulary consists of about thirty words and phrases, similar to a talking doll, her vapid, gangly bottle blonde self still draws the attention of millions. Now that’s hot.

9. Kanye West
[kahn-yay west] noun
1. The next Michael Jackson
2. See Douchebag.
Kanye will forever be remembered for some of his famous quotes. My personal favorite, “I’m the closest that Hip Hop is getting to God. In some situations I’m like ghetto Pope.”

Well played, Mr. West. Well played.

8. Miley Cyrus
It’s Miley! Aw, what a nugget of future trainwreck. I can’t wait to see how she grows up. I smell a Very Mischa Future for her.

7. Lindsay Lohan
I love Lindsay. I love everything about her, from the Adderall to the showing up at her ex’s house drunkenly to the insane dad to the alleged theft. Can’t get enough of her. She certainly puts my mistakes into perspective, and I thank her for that.

6. The Kardashians
The whole family is a complete circus. I mean, they have their own reality show. Where the prepubescent girls are practicing stripping. Kim Kardashian is famous for a sex tape and her step dad is famous for winning a gold medal back in the stone age. Not to mention, Bruce is a great advertisement for male Botox. What’s not to love to hate? Khloe, I exclude you from all of that. I really just love you.

5. Speidi
These two might be the smartest people in Hollywood. The contrived photo shoots. The tears on “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” They own their fakeness. We hate them for it, but we sure do love some posed pictures of them making out in face masks when we’ve got a Swine Flu crisis on our hands.

4. Jennifer Aniston
On the complete flip-side of a contrived couple, we have Miss Aniston. So natural. So girl next door. So effing boring and yet still all up in my celeb gossip. Good lord, woman. Just get married and stop making movies forever.

3. Megan Fox
The perfect woman! If only she was a mute.

2. Lady GaGa
Is it just me or is she super overrated? No? Okay, well what about this outfit.

1. Britney Spears
The ringleader of it all. Brit-Brit, you will never cease to fascinate the world. We’ve loved you since age 16 and we’ll keep on loving you right up until you become full-blown Liza Minelli crazy.

Honorable Mentions: Mischa Barton, Angelina Jolie, Jon and Kate (forget about their 8 soon-to-be in therapy), Paul Abdul, Kathy Griffin, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller.

    I disagree with the Miley one. She's amazing and doesn't deserve all the painful death threats you give her! She's just one kid! Jeez!

    But Paris hilton…Blech. lol

    I can’t stand Lady Gaga, glad to know I’m not the only one, I was beginning to get worried. But I agree with everyone else besides Kanye, I think he has every right to be a cocky asshole, his music is amazing. And Angelina Jolie, Ugh! I know I’m probably the only one in the world who can’t stand her or Mr. Pitt, I honestly just don’t see what all the fuss is about with those two, they aren’t great actors and they aren’t that attractive, (I think Angelina is kinda gross actually) Brad Pitt is just too, something, I’m not quite sure what, but something just isn’t right. However, I know I’m probably alone in that.

    Pauline, I've never wished death upon my little Miley. I love that little song she dose about the seven things she hates about that precious Jonas sister!

    Right, right. Sorry I made it sound like we just graded the souls of all these pop stars duinrg class. We absolutely did not, or at least I tried to steer my students away from that.More than anything, we discussed Miley’s evolution in order to get a view of how our culture so often pulls us away from Christ, from the top (pop stars) right on down to the rest of us (if we let it).We have spent class time throughout the year looking more specifically at music and TV content in relation to Biblical values (which is always extremely worthwhile), but for this class we did more of a broad, Screwtape Letters-esque study of how the modern-day American current typically runs towards sin (and therefore, death Rom 6:23) and how we, as Christians, will oftentimes have to go against the current (Rom 12:2).Lastly, I always try to include our discussions on pop culture by reminding my students that every celebrity is either our brother or sister in Christ, and that we have a duty to pray for them and those whom they affect.As always, thanks for the great work you do. I utilize your resources in my Religion classes all the time!

    I did a visual waohgkrluth of the evolution of Miley Cyrus in my 7th grade Religion classes yesterday that was enlightening for everyone (including myself). We put a cross on one end of the spectrum and left the other end blank (although Lady Gaga eventually took that spot). Miley started near the cross and ended up towards Britney (who was right before Gaga). We also put Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber on the map, who were kind of near the cross (closer than Miley for sure), but I asked them to keep their eyes on Bieber during these next few years. Although many of them LOVE Bieber I told them I thought he would probably go the Jesse McCartney route (from singing Beautiful Soul to Body Language )

Tell us what you're thinking...
