Celebrity Shitlist



I’ve already ranted about the pointlessness of celebrity, but now the masses have spoken.
Once again I turned to Facebook and foolishly asked for people’s opinions as to which celebrity has climbed the furthest up the mountain of inanity.
The votes ranged from the ridiculous: “all celebrities”, to the ridiculous: “Prince Edward”. What’s he ever done? Apart from being born into a life of privilege?
It seems a lot of you hate a lot of famous types for the oddest of reasons:
Phil Collins: “I don’t need to explain why.” Actually I fully understand this, and I don’t need to explain why either.
Claudia Winkleman: “She reminds me of polystyrene packaging you get when you buy a laser printer. Not really sure what she does.” She gets her Samsonesque celebrity strength from her fringe. If we remove it, she will vanish forever.
John Barrowman: “Makes me wish I didn’t exist.” Harsh, but fair. His sudden, inexplicable adoption of a Glasgow accent on a TV programme certainly ascends him to the upper echelons of twattishness.
Bruce Forsyth: “I wouldn’t be surprised if he was questioned under Operation Yewtree.” What? He’s a national treasure! If national treasures were made of unfunny. I’m convinced he’s over 200 years old and the BBC keeps him cryogenically frozen in between his bouts of telling unfunny jokes and reeling off ancient catchphrases.
Harry Hill: “I’ve had more amusing periods.” FIGHT!!!!!! He has managed to make a career out of being bald and having a ridiculously oversized and pointy collar.
There were a few names that kept cropping up though, and for the purposes of this survey I am declaring them all winners.
Katie Hopkins: She is simply one of the most vile people on this planet. If we ever needed to fire somebody into the Sun for “research purposes” it should really be her.
Kim Kardashian: She has no discernible talent and was accurately described as a “massive-arsed cunt” by one voter. Having a massive arse doesn’t make someone a pointless celebrity, but when you’re constantly in magazines promoting said arse it does. Her husband is a massive arse which surely means the world should explode due to an overload of irony.
Joey Essex: The epitome of stupid. Joey, as many of you might know, is also a derogatory term for somebody with a mental handicap. The shoe seems to fit quite well in this case. He seems to be unable to string a sentence together, yet he’s given constant TV exposure and has become wealthy without any known skill.
Congratulations to all three. I await their acceptance speeches like a racehorse with a bad leg waits to be shot.
