I've always disliked Paris Hilton. She's the classic case of being famous just for being famous. She's not hot, and I'd be hard pressed to come up with any positives that come from her existence. Also have to agree about the celebrity elites who dictate their opinions from on high and act like I should care because they made a few successful movies. And Larry the Cable Guy is not funny. At all. The exaggerated hillbilly act does not amuse me.
To add someone new, I'll say Kanye West. I like his music, but his politicization of the Katrina relief telethon rankled me a little bit. And I don't think this really counts as a "celebrity", but I loathe ESPN "personality"/sports columnist/general hack Skip Bayless and his ill informed, ill delivered opinions.

Is he still using his dumbass nickname for Kyle Boller? He needs a whuppin' for that one.

I know I'm gonna catch some flak for this one... but Angelina Jolie.
It isn't so much HER I hate, although she's definitely out there enough, as much as I hate everybody fawning over her.
Ok, she's not attractive, get it through your heads people. Just because other people think she's pretty, that doesn't mean you have to agree when you know she's not.
I saw her referred to as "the most beautiful woman on earth" the other day when reading about her meetings with some political figures for whatever cause it is she's championing this week. Made me gag. She's not really ugly per sae, but she's hardly beautiful. She needs to gain about 10 pounds for starters, maybe she can move them off her huge fake hooters. I swear every year her waist gets an inch smaller and her breasts get an inch bigger. There is a limit to that sort of figure looking good and she passed it a while back.
And those lips.. I mean... what is up with everybody worshiping those lips? Because they're big? So? She looks like she just lost a fight in an alley. That look shouldn't be attractive unless you're Mike Tyson.
The worst is when I hear straight women say something along the lines of "Oh I'd never date a woman... except Angelina, I'd totally go gay for her." WTF. That's akin to saying "Oh I'm not a drinker, but get me some Beast and I'll have a party!"
Huh. Skarecrow, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to each his own and all that. If you don't find Angelina Jolie attractive, that's fine. But I don't understand getting on a soapbox and telling everyone else to get it through our heads she's not attractive. Because, my friend, on this issue you have your stated opinion, but you're dead wrong. Angelina Jolie is an incredibly beautiful woman. That's my opinion. I would even venture to say it's a fact, albeit one that can be disputed as you already have. Everyone else has their opinion pro and con, but dude, nothing you say will get it through my head that you're right because you most certainly are not. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman.
Now, back to annoying celebrities. Not so much a real celebrity as an Internet celebrity, but Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News annoys the piss out of me. He's a terrible, terrible writer, his website somehow became world famous despite being an eyesore, and I get really annoyed any time I see an ad for a movie where Aint It Cool News is quoted in a blurb. They're not critics! They're just a bunch of loud, illiterate dopes on the Internet who give other fans of movies, sci-fi, comics, etc. a bad name. Knowles gets my vote for all kinds of bodily harm.
I agree with most of the listings: Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, etc. But for me, the most annoying are the talking heads at ESPN, especially Stuart "Booya" Scott. Stu, you are about as "street" as a warm glass of milk. How about, I don't know, actually having some FACTS before you spew forth misinformation from that enormous blowhole you call a mouth. Man, what a hack.
Paris fits up there with all the others who mentionned her.
Regis & Kelly. I simply don't get what's the big excitement over that morning show anymore. It is BAD. Three times out of four when I watch they have to bump a guest for time reasons.
I used to hate, hate, HATE Ali G with a passion. The british-jamaican hip-hop character. That is until I saw the man as himself appear on Conan lately, which appeased that hate somewhat.

His doppelganger on Entourage made for quite the plot point, though, you must admit.

I find Joe Buck incredibly annoying. When he's simply doing play-by-play he doesn't really bother me, but it's almost like he's working on a caberet act all night. The awful jokes, the hideous pop culture references, that Clairol no.6 blond dye job and that embarrassing laser eye surgery (he has the tell-tale sunken eyes) stack up to make him pretty intolerable. If he just dialed it back about ten notches, he would be excellent at his job. But he can't restrain himself, so we have to be inundated with his non-stop bullshit during an MLB playoff games.
Buck: Hey Tim, what do you think about Andre 3000?"
McCarver: "I don't know who that is, but this situation reminds me of something that Mae West used to say..."

There isn't a Pussy Patrol big enough to stop them all, though.
