What celebritie(s) do you just not get that others seem to like?

Tori Spelling....wow, I don't think she's at all attractive. She looks like an afghan hound to me. She wears some really awful clothing and is an awful actress. Do people really watch "Tori and Dean"??

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

I would have to agree on Angelina and Brad. I also don't get Paris Hilton, Alicia Silverstone, and Amy Winehouse. I am sure there are many more, but I am having a brain cramp right now...

Angelina and Brad

Paris Hilton and her posse

Amy Winehouse: not only can she not sing but she gets rewarded for singing a song about rehab? Uh, why not put her BACK in rehab! That's about as funny as Courtney Love getting an oscar nod for playing the druggie wife of Larry Flynt. Gotta be easy playing yourself...

The brothers on Real Chance at Love: PULEESE! Yuck!

Girls Gone Wild owner

many more but I need to cook dinner

I know there are more but these were the ones that came immediately to mind!

My husband thinks she looks like a horse.
I agree with pretty much everyone who has been mentioned. Some I haven't heard of tho.
And can I add Bono and Bruce Springsteen.

I agree with all mentioned so far and would add the Olsen twins. They always look so unhappy. And hungry.

Everyone listed above and Jeff Goldblum. I saw an interview with him once and walked away from the tv thinking "WTF?"

Barbara Streisand.

Her voice is fine, but I don't quite see why it makes her worthy to act so diva-ish.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt !!!!??????
Really? I am dumb-founded to see them listed under this topic

Geez, I like them both and understand the attention. They are both beautiful and make great movies. Their home life I really don't pay much attention to. (I'm guessing this is the part that puts most people off ???)

I don't get people that are celebs for no apparent reason - Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, and yes the Olson Twins (although I do see one or the other in a cameo one in a while)

Most of them! lol Who can pick-too many to chose from!

Tom Cruise and his sciencetology nonsense
Joan Rivers and her dd Melissa much too phonie and all that plastic surgery
Lately Mickey Rourke I truly loved him way back , but he looks so bad and what he has done to his face and his clothes and to me its just plain sad.. Peace. Catherine

Tila Tequila.

I really can't think of anyone. I don't watch tv hardly at all.. so I am not bombarded with the celeb crap anymore, thank goodness.
There was a old actress I couldn't stand (she's dead now) her name was Sandy Dennis. She played the wife in the Out of Towners. In every movie she was in she acted the same........ Oh wait!!! i thought of a current one...

MEG RYAN!!!!!!!! YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!! I can't stand her.. I don't think she's as sweet as she pretends to be, and I never believe her acting. No matter what role she plays.. it's never believable to me. It's always just Meg Ryan pretending to be such and such.

NOt sure of her name, but, she sells the "Phat" or "Baby Phat" I think it is??? She had her own reality show.....which, I know, widens the pool.

Kim Kardashian

Brangellina - OMG.......I could stomach them much more before he cheated on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina. And Angelina...... OMG......she looks like the walking dead, even when she was pregnant. Eat something already.....ANYTHING!!! And stop popping out kids like Pez!!!!

Tori Spelling YESSSSS. She is way too over processed.


I love Meryll Streep, tho.

I'm so relieved to see that Angelina and Brad make many lists. I thought it was just me!

They are so played out. She always looks so smug, and seems so cold. How come Angelina is never photographed with a female friend? At this point, even if she was, it would be so artificial-looking - I don't think she can smile in a non-lusty way.

I don't get anything about Spencer Pratt and those girls. They are just exhibitionists.

I also think Jennifer Lopez and Madonna are the most under-talented, overhyped "singers" ever. If it weren't for cameras/videos, they would have NEVER made it on their voices alone - much less LASTED this long... unreal.

Oh, and Carson Daly. Bland. Offers nothing.

Glad I got all that off my chest! Great question, OP!

She is SSSOOOOOOOO overrated. For goodness sake my sisters and I are prettier than she is and we use drugstore makeup and put it on ourselves with nobody helping us with hair and clothes.

So if she was like me she would be ugly and anorexic and look like a tweeker.

I agree with most of your choices but I do think Amy Winehouse has a real talent. I know she's a huge train wreck about to self-combust and I hope that somehow she can accept the help she needs. I like her voice.

I do not get celebrity obsession...PERIOD! I guess the only celebrity that I've ever actually kind of liked is Jimmy Buffett. I have more important things to think about than some person that acts or sings...like the economy!

Perhaps you ought to get on to those more important things and pass by Cafe threads that are oh so trivial. Don't want to be wasting precious time.

I have never seen such rude people at a forum in all my life! JEEZ...I know where I'm not welcome....what does the Cafe and celebrity obsession have to do with one another?

How can something so trivial as celebrities start a 'tiff' on the Cafe' board? Just let it go....

As for celebrities, for me I think it would be easier to list the ones I 'do get'. The list would be very short!

I think they are given far too much 'influence' in many areas of our lives and to me, they're not that smart, even though they think they are.

I remember when Angelina wore Billy Bob Thorton's blood in a vial around her neck and open-mouth kissed her own brother on the red carpet....now all of a sudden, she is Mother Theresa becasue she adopted a few foreign kids???

She does come across as a very emotionally cold person

Now I am just generalizing to be sure but I think most celebrities --or at least performer types-- love being the center of attention. The more bizarre the behaviour or baby name the more attention. They would feel so bad if they were yesterday's news.

I don't like reality tv either other than the judge shows. And I think it's all just a big distraction to make us try not to think about the more important issues.

Like I've said who the hell cares about Britney and Paris and their stinky exposed vaginas when the economy is collapsing and boys and girls are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I don't get the Julia Roberts love. Her mouth and nostrils are so huge, it's disgusting on that big screen. I don't care one way or another about Brangelina, but I do think Jennifer Aniston is over rated and needs to move on with her life.

I think Brad's OK looking but Angelina isn't beautiful by a long shot. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I don't know one single person IRL who doesn't think Angelina isn't actually homely. Her mouth is ugly. The woman is a dog with a great press agent. I'm dumbfounded that the public bought that sell.

Angelina without makeup.

Hmm.....if Angelina is a dog, then what am I? I am willing to trade faces and bodies. She can keep the tattoos, though. Not saying she's all that....just would give her more credit than y'all!

Oh, I think Angelina is really pretty. However, I don't understand the world's obsession with her. IMHO, she isn't beautiful enough, talented enough, important enough, interesting enough...

Actually, there isn't much about any of the stars mentioned above that justifies the attention they get. It annoys me to no end that we create such hype and "feed the monsters" that they become in their own celebritydom...

Oh - I don't think anyone mentioned those Beckhams - Posh Spice? Who cares? Why does anyone?

Okay CJ I am not saying she's a dog just that she is not all they crack her up to be. And if you had her money, her dressers and makeup and hair people I would be very surprised if you looked like a dog--more like a Goddess!

I too don't get all the hype about celebs. I don't care what kind of toilet paper they use...lol

Angelina Jolie has always made me think of a hologram.....scary horror freak or beauty, just depends on the angle!
I used to think the same of Brad Pitt, but he has grown on me looks wise and I do think he does a good job acting.
The Olsen twins were always ugly!, sorry, that's my opinion...I never thought they were remotely cute and they have gotten scary!

I agree too with the Barbara Streisand, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie,Carson Daily , & Tori Spelling ( really, would she have been an ANY show if not for who her daddy was ??)
Never thought Jennifer Aniston was that cute, never got that hype at all. She is a decent actress but nothing to write home about. (I always thought Courtney Cox and David Schwimmer were the best looking on Friends.)

I totally agree about Julia Roberts !

I think they are all phony
