Celebrity Douchebags!

[Gail Simone]

I don't care one way or another about most 'celebrities,' but for fun, let's all play:

CELEBRITY DOUCHEBAG!


Chuck Norris!

Sarah Jessica Parker!

Dr. Phil!

Cybil Shephard!

[4PointOh]

Russell Crowe.

Shannen Doherty.

Anne Coulter. Okay, so she's not a celebrity, but she wants to be.

[DungeonmasterJim]

For those that play, can a quick description be followed of why such a person is a douche bag? I'm looking at Gail's list and not really sure why these people are douches. I'm guessing Chuck Noriss is a homophobe. I have no idea why the others might be. Dr. Phil? That sucks, I kind of like him even though his show is for entertainment purposes only. Although I will say that when I caught him talking about the 5 biggest mistakes made by people during divorce, my brother's ex made every choice he listed.

Thanks!

[DungeonmasterJim]

Chris Brown - I think that's his name. Anyways, he's the guy that beat up singer Rhiannon. New York Post had a police photo of her and he really let her have it. Everyone that saw the picture at work was like 'Jesus Christ!' out of astonishment of the brutality of it.

I have no idea why most of these people are douchebags. :confused:

[Tad Sivana]

Let's not forget:

Bill O'Reilly!

Sly Stone!

[Charles RB]

Tom Baker.

But only 50% of the time, the rest of the time he's apparently quite nice.

But which Tom Baker will YOU meet?!

[section 8]

Bill Mehar

Mel Gibson

Barbara Streisand

[Pink Bat Maxine]

Oh, Mel Gibson to be sure!

Tom Cruise?

[Royal]

Tom Savini.

He so douchy, he's got his own douche scale.

[Royal]

Oh, Mel Gibson to be sure!

Tom Cruise?

Criminal, but not douchy.

[Pariah74]

I'm guessing the ratio of celebrity douche bags to regular people douche bags is about equal. Celebrities are just douche bags in a spotlight.

[section 8]

Gail Simone *finishes soup* :tongue:

[Weetomuncher]

Jade Goody - Yes, I know she's dying of cancer but such a horrible person doesn't deserve another chance.

She was a Big Brother contestant in the UK who was despised by most of the country but managed to establish a celebrity status before behaving in a monstrous manner on Celebrity Big Brother, racially abusing Indian movie star Shilpa Shetty (who won due to public sympathy) and Jade Goody became a poster girl for braindead racists everywhere.

She is a publicity whore who milks every last penny.

She got married today just to raise more money from the media.

What a bitch.

Being American, I don't know her from Adam, but I can't really blame someone who is dying for making sure that there is enough money to take care of her kids.

Kind of sensible actually.

I'm surprised that my contribution to this list has escaped notice thus far. But his days of escaping notice are over! BEHOLD!

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Now there are many douchey things he's done. Speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2004 and helping Bush win that election is one, but that's fairly minor compared to other stuff.

To be specific:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZvsD-P7vpo

Here's another:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vz6URLK_lI

(By the way, he went on to say that McCain was "built like a rock." So I was really happy when everybody saw those pics of Obama shirtless after the election to see how full of shit Arnie was. As for McCain being "built like a rock"? You dumbass, not only is the guy old but he doesn't have full range of motion in his arms, which you sort of need if you're going to do a full workout.)

There is also the groping (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/06/politics/main576614.shtml) and this (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/08/15/DD252336.DTL) as well:

"I hate pants. This is something I have inherited from my father," the actor told Playboy magazine in 1988. "He despised pants, and my mother was never allowed to wear them at home. We're talking about a different time period now, when the man was much more the ruler of the house. But I still feel that way, and neither my mother nor Maria is allowed to go out with me in pants."

Not "allowed"? Seriously? :rolleyes:

Don't forget "Junior" and "Last Action Hero"

Is Frank Miller a celebrity? He seems a little douchey to me.

[NickThompson]

Tom Cruise?
People who meet him say he's a really nice guy, so I dunno about that.

[section 8]

Dane Cook...

[NickThompson]

To be honest, I'm struggling to think of people. I don't really like calling someone a douchebag based on what some gossip rag says or something like that. I'd call the people who borderline-stalk them and make up lies about them to be far douchier :)



Oh wait, Piers Morgan. He'll do :)

Oh yeeeeahhhh. Which is a shame, because he's really funny when he's coked up. But when he's not, lord what a douche.

Well, Arnie is a Republican who has said nasty things to and about people on the other side, and I think anybody who engages in that kind of mockery or those kinds of attack politics is a douche.

Only Democrats are allowed to be victims Lester.

To be fair Arnold is one of my role-models, I have a lot of respect for him. And playing "Party Politics" is part of the game.

That said he does have his "douche" moments.

BTW Bill Meher and Michael Moore are also on the list.

(I have no idea why most of these people are douchebags, like Sarah Jessica Parker. I always though she seemed nice, but I know nothing about her really.)

Jade Goody - Yes, I know she's dying of cancer but such a horrible person doesn't deserve another chance... She got married today just to raise more money from the media.


Yes, that's the only reason she might marry someone when she's about to die in a painful and humiliating way.

Fuck off.

[Michael P]

Doesn't this sort of topic generally degenerate into "celebrities I don't like," often within the first post?

[BnL]

I don't care one way or another about most 'celebrities,' but for fun, let's all play:

Sarah Jessica Parker!

Just out of curiosity, why Sarah Jessica Parker? I've always heard that she's very nice.

[Weetomuncher]

Yes, that's the only reason she might marry someone when she's about to die in a painful and humiliating way.

Fuck off.

I didn't really mean that she shouldn't be married before she dies but her wedding will be shown on Living TV at a later date as part of a documentary and the photo rights have been sold for a huge sum to a celebrity magazine.

Considering that the last few years of her life have been directly in public view, surely she could have held her wedding in a more tasteful and private manner.

I heard not so long ago that Jade Goody had made £8m from various media ventures so she surely is being greedy chasing a few extra pounds when she could spend her last days in a dignified manner.

[joe27]

Janeane Garofalo is apparently a real twat. And I'm sure she's the kind of twat who chalks the fact people find her a twat up to pure sexism, as opposed to her twatiness. Which makes her a twat and a douchebag to boot.

[MacQuarrie]

If it were me starting this thread, I'd ask the people cite specific examples of douchebaggery when identifying the people.

Back when Tony Geary was on General Hospital the first time around, riding high on the "Luke & Laura" romance, he was a major douchebag. I was involved with putting on a convention for Hollywood memorabilia collectors back then, and Geary appeared at an event as a guest, for which we provided a limo. He had the driver take him out clubbing for the rest of the night, running up about six hours of charges for our group after he left the event, and was a total prick to the driver while he was at it.

Then he left the show, full of himself and bound for stardom. He was not heard from again for about 10 years, until he turned up in Weird Al's "UHF", and eventually made his way back to General Hospital. From all reports, since he resurrected his career he has been unfailingly humble, courteous and generous.

So Tony Geary is an ex-douchebag, at least to my knowledge.

[ForeverTaskmaster]

David Carradine would kill you if he saw this post. And me for having the post before and after it.
I forgot to mention Amy Winehouse. A total douchebag. She would probably kill me too if she saw this post. Heck, she would probably go ballistic on Carradine as well.

[Charles RB]

I heard not so long ago that Jade Goody had made £8m from various media ventures so she surely is being greedy chasing a few extra pounds

Actually it's upwards of £800,000 rather than "a few pounds" and the entire amount is going to be passed on to her children. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7903784.stm)

[Santanico]

Victor Salva, director of the Jeepers Creepers films, and convicted child molester. (http://www.vachss.com/mission/disney.html) What he lacks in A-list celebrity, I think you'll agree he more than makes up for in pure, unadultered douchebaggery.

And the exact same goes for Roman Polanski. Yes, he's very talented. He is also a total, total douchebag.

It's a two-year-old article, but, you guys, I just read this Salon interview with filmmaker/actor Eric Shaeffer (http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2007/02/08/eric_schaeffer/index.html), and you know what, I think this thread has a new king.

You've written that you had sex with your girl cousins when you were 6. Is that true?

Yeah. They were 5, 6, and 7, and I was 6 and we would play little games and some involved playing Mommy and Daddy and sleeping together.

And penetration occurred?

Yes.

But you don't consider that a sexually damaging experience?

Not at all. All kids who are 6 are rubbing it somewhere. If you as a parent don't think yours are, you are in abject denial.

But actual sex with family members is a big leap from rubbing it somewhere.

You mean actually sticking it in for two seconds and having her run and tell her mother that this isn't a good game anymore?


I'm curious about your date with "April," and how angry you were at the fact that she refused to go with you spontaneously to Vermont directly after your first date, when she was hosting a party.

Yes. I want someone who would have [gone with me]. Cause I would have done it.

But this is a woman you've just met, she has a commitment to host a dinner party...

The dinner party was three people: her best friend, one other woman and her uncle. I learned that she was the kind of person that would say no to me and yes to that dinner. That takes the wind out of my sails and makes my heart sink.


You wrote about that first date with her: "I despised her. She made me sick to my stomach. I literally wanted to vomit. Choke her to death and smash her dead head in with a rock and then vomit onto her deadness."

Isn't that clear that going so over the top shines a light on the absurdity and therefore renders it less angry? I think it would have been scarier to say, "I wanted to slit her throat."

I don't want to spend five minutes with a woman unless I think you're gonna be my wife or unless I think we're going to fuck.

Gosh, what a catch. Someone get me his number!

[Solaris]

Dr. Laura. 'Nuff said.

Rush Limbaugh.

Neal Bortz.

(Ann Coulter's already been mentioned.)

And though Paris Hilton's also been mentioned, she's so much of a douchbag it's worth putting her name in twice. Heh.

And I've heard whats-his-name, the latest Bond, is an utter dick.

And yeah, Tom Cruise is worth the mention---and I have a story for that one:

A friend of ours works with special needs students. He had one, a young girl around 14 or so (IIRC she was somewhat retarded) who'd been a Cruise fan for years, and pretty much had a shrine for him in her room, etc. So Cruise and Nicole Kidman are in town (back when they were married), and our friend takes the girl to a restaurant, and lo and behold, the couple are there eating (IIRC, I think our caretaker friend had found out they'd be there, and took the girl in as a surprise). So the friend takes the girl over to their table, explains about her hero-worship and her condition, and very politely asks Cruise to autograph something for her.

Cruise blows up directly at the *girl*, being really rude to her, saying stuff like "How can you have the gall to ask me that?" etc. Kidman gets furious with Cruise. She stops him in his tracks, tells him how he's being rude and ungrateful, that this little girl is a fan and that's how he got where he is, and she *demands* that he give the girl an autograph. Cruise subsides and grudgingly signs something for the kid, who haltingly thanks him.

Our friend said, while Cruise was an utter dick to the kid, it was worth all kinds of everything to see Nicole Kidman set him back on his heels and give him what-for over it. I have totally loved Nicole Kidman ever since. Heh.

I went and read the whole article... that guy's definitely fucked up. Not for his fetishes, but for his whole round of denial and total narcissism. Not to mention his attitudes about women... and yes, that he absolutely will not admit that what he did with his cousins may well have scarred them for life... and he doesn't give a shit.

Douchebag? In spades.

[Beacon]

That’s a large part of it, sure. However she’s a douche professionally as well. There’s nothing worse than having someone that CAN act decide that a role is so beneath her that she isn’t even going to try. Have you ever seen her out “promoting” any of the comic movies she’s been it? She’s always either saying she only took the role because it’s so hard for a black woman to find work or she’ll imply that the movie wasn’t very good because she wasn’t in enough of it. Heck, I’ve seen her do both with the X-Men movies. And then there was the Bond-girl role that she only took because she thought she’d get a spin-off.

[Royal]

He probably posted Halle Berry due to the hit & run incident a few years back. She claimed she suffered from memory loss (Hence, the reason for the hit & run) due to supposed head injuries suffered from the collision.

She's also been very insecure in relationships. Much so to the point where if the couple go on a night out, they go to gay resturants and clubs.

Now there's nothing wrong with this, but if you suggest trying the nice cafe down the block, it's cold bitchville.

Sarah Jessica Parker is so in love with herself it's freakish.

Chuck Norris' recent writings not only make him a douche, they make him douche of the year. Plenty of ugly stuff in his personal life, as well.

Dr. Phil is, by all accounts, a completely repulsive person in his personal life, a deadbeat, a serial cheater who is verbally abusive...and yet he sits in judgment of the clueless desperate weirdos who come on his show for an hour of pandering horseshit.

And Dr Phil. Man, that guy is asking for a big a**kicking. A while ago a friend of mine talked about how Dr Phil changed his life for the better. When I heard that I wanted to slap some sense into him. If you need Dr Phil's help something is really wrong.

I never heard about the Halle Berry hit & run accident, but man, that's low that she used memory loss as an excuse.

Hey, Solaris. I liked that story about Kidman putting Cruise in his place. I always liked Kidman, but now I like her even more.

If I can think of any others oh wait I can. Mickey Rourke, while he just got back into the gig, I don't think muttering about Marvel's paychecks to you is worth smacking your piehole about considering you just came out of rehab, and on that note I'll throw in Terrance Howard and his 'gurly' voice as Arnold would put it, bad attitude wants more money.

I wasn't looking for justification as much as enlightenment. I don't know who some of the douchebags are, and of the ones I do know, I wasn't aware of the particulars of their douchebaggery.

So, when naming a douchebag, assume I don't know what they did to warrant the label and feel free to fill me in.

[MacQuarrie]

I'm not gonna start hating on Cybil just cause Gail thinks she's douchey. It's just an interwebz forum.

"I'm not going to believe anything anyone tells me over the telephone. It's just a machine!"

[Sean Walsh]

Almost forgot, Andy Dick. It got to the point where Jon Lovitz smashed his face into a bar a few times.

That was because of the Phil Hartman comments, wasn't it? I know Lovitz (A close friends of Phil's) was livid.

I don't normally pass blame onto "the booze and drugs," but considering how I know Andy Dick was legit distraught back in 1998 when Hartman died, I've found those more recent comments of his to have been seriously "inspired" by drug abuse....

What the guys just saying he won't automatically agree with Gail on this one.

[Wrigley]

I don't care one way or another about most 'celebrities,' but for fun, let's all play:

CELEBRITY DOUCHEBAG!


Chuck Norris!

Sarah Jessica Parker!

Dr. Phil!

Cybil Shephard!

D O N A L D T R U M P

[Grazzt]

Here's a great level of douchebaggery. While filming Apocalypse Now, Martin Sheen had a heart attack. Francis Ford Coppola's response? "Marty's not dead until I say he's dead."

[mgs]

Sarah Jessica Parker is so in love with herself it's freakish.
but that's vanity.

where it crosses the line for douchebaggery for me is the Paris Hilton level of vanity. :wink:

He probably posted Halle Berry due to the hit & run incident a few years back. She claimed she suffered from memory loss (Hence, the reason for the hit & run) due to supposed head injuries suffered from the collision.
oh that's right, forgot about that.

Didn't he beat and tie up Madonna? :0
who wouldn't?

no, no, I keed.

Almost forgot, Andy Dick. It got to the point where Jon Lovitz smashed his face into a bar a few times.
oh yeah, I forgot about that too. But Dick is just so weird and wrong, it's hard to take him seriously.

[Arrogantcur]

It might not be cool to speak ill of the dead, but...Rick James (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,169483,00.html).

That was because of the Phil Hartman comments, wasn't it? I know Lovitz (A close friends of Phil's) was livid.

I don't normally pass blame onto "the booze and drugs," but considering how I know Andy Dick was legit distraught back in 1998 when Hartman died, I've found those more recent comments of his to have been seriously "inspired" by drug abuse....

I caught a little bit of that reality show, "Sober House," where Dick showed up and talked about how he wanted to get clean because his son hated him and when he heard his dad was arrested his reaction was basically "let him stay in jail." Maybe substance abuse makes him live up to his surname, instead of that being his nature.

It took three posts for this to become a "these are people I don't like" thread. Does anyone else see the issue with this sort of cheerful name-calling?

[MacQuarrie]

What the guys just saying he won't automatically agree with Gail on this one.

I was responding to the snide dismissal of internet communication; "It's just an interwebz forum."

But this kind of think is what Martin does. Funny how a guy who has such a low opinion of the "interwebz" still manages to post all over the thing that he's so superior to. If the interwebz is so terrible, why doesn't he get the hell off it?

[beetlebum]

Because sadly, acting like a blighter is the only way he can validate himself and feel better about his life.

EDIT: Right, because you yourself have never made a snarky comment about another poster. [rollseyes]

Really?

Here's post #3:
For those that play, can a quick description be followed of why such a person is a douche bag? I'm looking at Gail's list and not really sure why these people are douches. I'm guessing Chuck Noriss is a homophobe. I have no idea why the others might be. Dr. Phil? That sucks, I kind of like him even though his show is for entertainment purposes only. Although I will say that when I caught him talking about the 5 biggest mistakes made by people during divorce, my brother's ex made every choice he listed.

Thanks!

And #4
Chris Brown - I think that's his name. Anyways, he's the guy that beat up singer Rhiannon. New York Post had a police photo of her and he really let her have it. Everyone that saw the picture at work was like 'Jesus Christ!' out of astonishment of the brutality of it.

I have no idea why most of these people are douchebags. :confused:

Not with the celeb douchebags, no, the cheerful name calling below? Perhaps.....

Are you questioning my ability to count, or the main point of the argument, which was that threads like these aren't anything but an excuse to come together in cheerful negativity?

It's a two-year-old article, but, you guys, I just read this Salon interview with filmmaker/actor Eric Shaeffer (http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2007/02/08/eric_schaeffer/index.html), and you know what, I think this thread has a new king.

Jesus, it's like he knew this thread would one day occur.

I suspect that Robert Pattinson kid from "Twilight" is a douchebag.

Nah, he's spent the whole interview-cycle over Twilight being utterly frank about how bemused he is by the script and public attention. He seems alright, really.

Neither, really. I just never saw the point where the thread turned into the list of "people I don't like."

[Infra-Man]

For anyone who saw the documentary Overnight, Troy Duffy (the writer/director of The Boondock Saints) seems a good candidate for douchebaggery.

[Dragonflye]

Man, there are some worthy recipiants in the above.

I'll add Eli Roth.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, there! WHY?

He's never been douchey to me.

[Spiffy]

Chuck Norris!
More of a "Yahoo" (as in "a boorish, crass, or stupid person") than a "Douchebag".

Dr. Phil!
The very essence of Doucheyness.

And similarly, I might nominate Tyra Banks. She really comes off as such a know it-all, which is unattractive in anyone, but especially in someone who so obviously DOESN'T know it all. Remember when she strapped on a fatsuit and did a show about how much it "hurt" the way people treated her? And there was some idiot model on Entertainment Tonight who did the same thing. These kind of strike me as douchery in disguise--people acting like they've learned some great moral lesson, when in fact its just been a vehicle to make themselves look morally superior on TV.

Bill O'Reilly. Now there's a douchebag.

Hey, Conan had some nominees in a segment late last year: http://www.nbc.com/Late_Night_with_Conan_O%27Brien/video/clips/more-celebrity-douche-bag-supercollider-92208/689211/

[Yue]

Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, etc.

Ditto on Dr. Phil and Chris Brown.

That one Jonas Brother who broke up with Taylor Swift in like a 30 second phone call.

Ah! The douchebag of douchebags:

Kevin Federline.

[Jae Namkyoung]

So moving forward with the Douchebags, I hereby nominate, Bryan Singer. Thanks for cheerfully assisting in ruining Superman not that he really needed the help oh and also thanks for completely smudging X-Men origins in two movies, great job you moron.

I also hereby, nominate JJ Abrams, who seems to get lost in his own storylines and complicates them more than need be. Try reading a book you wonderful genius you.

Moving onward the two former executive producers Millar and Gough of Smallville, great job of jumping the shark and also great job of smashing Birds of Prey although thanks to Gail "the Wonderful" Simone she saved them.

Also I'll hereby nominate the idiot who made Batman & Robin and Batman Forever here's to your nipple costumes.

Congratulations you all are now Douchebags and Gail Simone is awesome, and your not.

Please go outside once in a while.

[Romero]

Tyra Banks wants to be Oprah so badly, it's sad.

Balthazar Getty- openly cheated on his wife (and 4 or 5 kids) with Sienna Miller, who ain't even all that.

Brangelina- my wife and I watch all the red carpets for the award shows, because we are losers like that. Whenever these poor schlubs on these entertainment shows have to try and talk to them on the red carpet, they just seem like they could care less and are upset they have to deign to talk to them. Not that Lisa Rinna or Seacrest are major players or anything, but why even walk the red carpet then? Apparently you can just slip in the back to get to these shows.

Brett Ratner

Bill Maher!

Rush Limbaugh!

Keith Olbermann!

Geraldo Rivera!

Aren’t most directors douchebags? I was under the impression that that was the only way to survive at that level in Hollywood. I mean, I love most of Quentin Tarantino’s movies but he comes across as a real jerk in most interviews.

Plus I’m not sure that most of them count as celebrities. I don’t think most people would recognize Michael Bay on the street. Heck, outside of us comic fans, I doubt most people would recognize Kevin Smith.

[4thHorseman]

Tom Green

Go Youtube his interview with Jesse James Dupree (from the band Jackyl), watch what Jesse does and how Tom responds, then think of how Tom made it big.

EDIT: Went ahead and found the LINK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlHXfSxOSxk)

And after the performance:

Later on in the evening, he again insulted the band by holding up Jackyl's most recent album and advising viewers to "check it out if you like music that was cool fifteen years ago" and then proceeded to smash it with a hammer.

Yes, but that still doesn't give half of them the right to make stupid on half of these movies/television shows. Then again their the douchebag directors right. :D

[tangentman]

Sure, I see where giving examples could help. My best friend knows the owners of a local coffeehouse & vegetarian cafe. She told me about the time Ben Affleck hung around Savannah and made an ass of himself at this cafe. Basically, Ben acted like a pretentious twat, terrorizing the staff (and owners) with the whole "Don't You Know Who I Am" card. I wish I could've been there at the time so I could've replied, "Yeah, you're Ben Affleck. Thanks for giving me the biggest belly-laugh of my life with the suckfest of GoodWill Hunting's 'therapeutic breakthrough' scene!"

Danny Glover--I've heard more than one horror story about him. A good friend dated a border guard who'd once worked at a well-known airport post 9/11. Danny Glover came through her line while she was doing routine security checks for all boarding passengers. Well, Danny apparently took umbrage at "Jeannette" doing her job. He also pulled out the DYKWIA" card, and proceeded to bellow at "Jeannette", who's all of a whopping 5'4". Apparently, Mr. Glover has a nasty reputation for being a dick with an excessive sense of entitlement.

yeah, not that I care about either one of them, but the dude just cut up his desk and then told him to send the bill to his record company.

tom was rightfully pissed after that, if he's trying to make his new studio legit and stuffs.

Rupert Murdoch, the Prince of Darkness.

Should also note, some douchbaggery is attributed to celebrities that's more their handlers' fault. Barbara Walters, for example, is often saddled with VIEW producer Bill Geddie's far-right-wing, manipulative douchery. (Plus, Walter is so old, I'm half-convinced she barely knows where she is half the time.)

Should also also note, some douchbaggery is misreported and/or manipulated. Rosie O'Donnell, for example, was often a victim of the 'Fan: "Ugly bitch, ugly filthy fat pig bitch, why don't you get AIDS and die, ugly bitch, your kids should be shot, etc. etc." Rosie: "Screw off." Fan: 'OMG! DID YOU HEAR HOW RUDE SHE WAS TO ME!!!"' trick.
