Agreed with most. Regarding his Beatles comment, he forgot the word "roadie" Harrison was by far and away better than Noel.

If he thinks he comes anywhere near George Harrison then I think he needs a doctor. Somebody who played lead guitar ahead of Lennon & McCartney can't have been half bad.

Keith Brymer Jones. What an über tuss. I just saw him on some silly BBC pottery program, I couldn't hear him talk because the volume was on mute. Therefore he could be the nicest, most interesting dude on the planet.. This post is purely a reaction to his comb and gel forward hair style

Trumps a top bloke, he says what he means, unlike every other politician that says what he thinks people should go along with. I'm hoping he pulls a Reagan and makes everyone sit up, take notice, and does a good job. Everyone said ronald was a fool when he took office too, turned out to be a great president

Piers Morgan is a real life Alan Partridge Yeah, I caught that guy on tele this morning on TVAM or whatever it's called now. He was talking to Roy Hudd. I only saw about two minutes of the interview and wanted to punch both him and Reid. They're both a couple of total git faces.

Paul O'Grady - I actually liked him as Roxanne in several episodes of The Bill. He had a good rapport with Ted Roach.

Katie Hopkins is a real beeeatch! I find her 'controversial' attempts at trying to claw her way back into the limelight every time she reaches her optimum Weight Watchers target, by 'saying it like it is', quite sad really. Plus I find her large nose and reliance on make-up off-putting. Don't worry Carter, it's all a publicity stunt, she's not really that much of a c*ck.

Katie's alright, she doesn't mean any of it really. Kind of like a heel in journalistic wrestling.
Her need to keep in the limelight with this nonsense is the sad part.

Brand, Clarkson, Cowell, Lemon, Morgan.
For all the right reasons.
Morgan was on Question Time last year, and started his response to a question "When I was last on this show......." To which David Dimbleby instantly retorted "It's not a Show, it's a Programme!"
You missed off a few: Kelvin McKenzie, Rupert Murdoch, Jeffrey Archer, oh yeah, Katie Hopkins, ugh!

My choices are largely musicians simply because I can't stand their music. Phil Collins (I remember him on "Ready To Roll" when I was a kid,sounds like a nice enough guy as a person though), Robbie Williams (has that "boy band" stigma), Nick Knowles and Justin Bieber (Need I say any more?) and Russel Brand (seems creepy to me).

I always think bar a few exceptions, it is always difficult to believe in a lot of this stuff about which celebs are horrible and which are not. I mean I recently read about an actor who was asked to give an autograph and photo to a fan when he arrived at a hospital where his father was dying and refused and got all sort of shyte for doing so, do any of us think we would be up for a photo and a chat if our parents were dying and does being in the spotlight mean you have to switched on 100% of the time? Having lost both parents I would say 100% not and if that makes me a **** then fair enough I'll live with that.
I would imagine that it is inevitable that if you have a job with a public profile then you have to be prepared for intrusion by us proles, but it should never mean that they are public property and we have the right to bother them 24/7, and as the saying goes, never meet your heroes, as you'll mainly be left disappointed.
I would never speak to a celebrity or ask for an autograph as I just don't believe in the cult of celebrity and would not enjoy being asked to do so if I was the person in the spotlight.

Nicholas Parsons at Farnham Park circa 1980, dreadfully arrogant man.
On that same day, which was a charity cricket match, I got to sit in Steve Davis's motor, can't remember what it was now but it did have a tv inside!

Jon Bon Jovi WAS very nice when they first hit it huge, but last 10 years, he's become quite crappy. I suppose when your guitarist quit mid-way through a tour and your record sales have nose-dived, there's an excuse for the behaviour.
Linda Lusardi can get downright snotty when asked to sign any glamour or topless photos, she steadfastly refuses, with a nasty stare. Some people forget what got them there!

I’ve probably asked this before- but why is Phil Collins so hated? That’s the one I don’t really understand To me he just comes across as a nasty little man who is very bitter. There are loads of acts I don't like the music of, but the people behind them come across as decent and who I like to listen too, but not Collins.
His polical views, which I won't go into, leave a lot to be desired also.
Watching TOTP 1989 review this afternoon, here was our Phil churning out another piece of his 80s standard shyte, with the paintpot still on top of his keyboard, a reference to his ex Wife leaving him for a painter & decorator back in 1980, with the success he had in the 80s he really should have moved on by that point as he had a lot more going for him back in the 80s than most of us did.
If you like him, fill your boots and I am sure he even has a thread of his own on here, but for me a real wrong 'un

Kenneth Williams is scathing about (the now late) Parsons in his diaries, basically that he was all arrogance and no talent. But then Williams was famously horrible to almost everyone and revelled in being so From the original list Jeremy Clarkson would be my number 1, his arrogance and opinions on certain subjects are just awful. And sadly he has influenced a lot of other people's opinions to the extent there was a concerted campaign to get his sacking from the Beeb overturned on the basis of it being "political correctness gone mad", despite him using racist language and thumping a colleague which would be gross misconduct (not to mention a criminal offence) in every workplace in the country. Brand is, ironically, Aldous Snow but clearly doesn't realise it. And he really should keep his misguided political views to himself as he sits in his mansion telling people how to be good socialists. If there is a part deux of this I would like to see Gregg Wallace as mentioned above, plus Liam Gallagher, that awful Dominic Littlewood and Mr Smug himself Nicky Campbell. If anything comes on the TV with either of the latter two in it I have to turn it off, they grate that badly on me.

Great, having flicked through some of the Channel 4 spin-off channels over the last couple of days I would also like to add Gok Wan to the list of 'have to turn it over before I hear his voice'. Ugh.

I don't think Gok is too bad compared to some on the list. I think the issue with Gok is he seems to end up in utterly dreadful TV shows but he probably does know his onions. He's no worse than any of the other fashion gurus spouting nonsense on such shows I think and he's not on mainstream tv much these days. I saw a programme he was on with his dad a while back and Gok seems like a genuine guy. Mrs jno just happened to be watching some drivel on an obscure Sky channel called TLC the other day and Gok turns up in an ad for ... 'Say Yes To The Dress Lancashire' ... our reaction: Granted, it's utter tripe - but, I don't think Gok is any worse than other fashion 'experts' blah-blahing their way around on telly.
