I very much respect Bill Gates. From what I know, I also bet that I'd like him as a person a lot more than I'd like Steve Jobs. But to the topic at hand:
1) Most Politicians
2) Many children of "old-money"
3) Many Politics Majors
Do you see a trend here? Growing up as a fairly wealthy child in the DC area I have come across a lot of these types. . . Same assholes everywhere.
Onto some trivial ones:
4) Mike Dell
5) The Dallas Stars, NY Rangers (I just hate these teams. It's less individual here)
6) Ricers, particularly those in badge-engineered Civics.
Madonna, Alan Colmes, Larry King, Martha Stewart, Kurt Loder, Melanie Griffith, James Lipton, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Kid Rock, P Diddy (idiot), Carson Daly, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Craig Kilborn, The Juice, Dr. Laura, Al Hunt, Bill Press, Greta van Suswhatthehell, Britney Spears (this decade's Tiffany and Debbie Gibson...don't delude yourself, people), Wynonna, Jewel, Johnny Knoxville, anyone with the last name Zappa, Shephard Smith, Pat Sajak, Bob Goins, Mary Hart, Deion Sanders, Pam Anderson, Garth Brooks (get over yourself, pal), Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dennis Rodman, Florence Henderson, David Cassidy, Anson Williams, Rob Reiner, Jack Nicholson, Val Kilmer, Rosie O'Donnell, Roseanne, William Hurt, Tony Stewart, Bob Vila, Dan Rather, Al Sharpton, G. Gordon Liddy, Steven the Dell Kid, Jesse Jackson, Phoebe on "Friends", the cast of "Will & Grace" (knock it off already...we get it), Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, Danny DeVito, Ted Danson, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin (but I'd take his hair), Sammy Hagar, Lee Majors, Bryant Gumbel, Paul Hogan, Katie Couric (but I'd jump her bones in a heartbeat...WHEN did she get so sexy?!?), Whitney Houston, Ted Kennedy, any Kennedy, Trent Lott, Phil Donahue, any cast member of "Survivor", regardless of locale, any cast member of "Temptation Island", regardless of sucking ability, any cast member of "The Mole", "Big Brother", "I Got A Wart On My Ass", etc. because those shows suck to such an unholy degree.
Yeah, I'm not too big on celebrities and the idiotic culture that fawns and worships them (E! TV, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, the tabloids, etc.).
They're just people. Their fame doesn't make them any better (and sometimes worse!) than any of us, yet there's enough people with empty lives who care about who Gwyneth Paltrow (oops, forgot to add her) is banging this week or whatever that keeps these stupid industries in business.
I can appreciate a celebrity's talent or babe-ness, but I'm not really interested in much beyond that.
And the fact that many of them come off like such assheads and do and say the things they do just reinforces some of my perceptions and opinions.
