NAME a BIGGER showbiz asshole than Kanye West.

[Miles Archer]

Context is his rant last night about how Beck should give his Grammys to Beyonce.

Bieber is too easy. Try harder.

[DebJ]

1. Hank Williams Jr is pretty much an a-hole. n/t

[Raine1967]

3. That's a good one.

[Phentex]

2. Donald Trump makes Kanye look like a belly button...

Both are less than smart.

[Raine1967]

4. Miles, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Ted Nugent

is the biggest showbiz asshole.

[steve2470]

5. hard to imagine a bigger one than him nt

[argyl]

6. Nugent's quite an asshole but he's a washed up hack who never had much credibility.

West is a serious player in the music business who has as much juice as any of his peers. So when this asshole farts he gets a lot of attention.

[Miles Archer]

8. In the Rolling Stone Facebook comments on this...

...one person wisely noted "He makes another million every time you comment on him."

You're right, every time Nugent mouths off he gets a high-five from the freepers and MAYBE some rumbling on DU (I ignore 9 out of 10 "news items" on him). But West? He's everywhere today, all over the Web headlines, and for no reason other than being a prick. That's juice.

[Miles Archer]

7. BWAHAHA!

You may be right.

[Raine1967]

9. AS far as Kanye, I defer to the President:

[3catwoman3]

25. I had read that comment but had never seen...

...the clip. Thank you for the late evening giggle. It looked like he managed to say it without moving his lips!

[Raine1967]

32. It cracks me up.

and Kanye is an ass.

[mackerel]

34. I laughed hard!

[GeorgeGist]

10. Clint Eastwood.

[tavernier]

14. Agreed

And having nothing to do with his empty chair soliloquy. He has been a mean spirited bully for most of his career.

[steve2470]

11. My son loves the guy

Of course, my son is 37 years younger than me too. I won't argue with him, a waste of time. Kanye is not my absolute favorite musician, since I'm into goa-psy trance lately

[hifiguy]

12. Mel Gibson?

Hard to say as there are so many assholes in showbiz these days.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

17. Honestly, I think Gibson has some sort of mental illness

I put him in a separate category from, for example, Ted Nugent

[jmowreader]

42. Nugent probably also has some sort of mental illness

[Throd]

13. After some considered thought, I really can't. He is the current Rey Culo Grande de America.

Bieber is a dick, but I'll give him a pass due to youth.

I can think of douchebags past (Oasis) but they couldn't get arrested these days.

I can name some other royal dickwads, but none of them have the profile or clout that Kanye has.

[Aerows]

15. The Great Horned Owl

that hoots so vociferously that it interrupts my sleep at around 3am.

It Hoot Hoot Hoot's so loud that it sounds like a train.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Glad I barely know who he is or pay attention to such trendy personalities

I just now glanced at his wikipedia page and it said he's a former rapper. No wonder I have no idea who he is. I'm a jazz, blues, and classical fan myself.

[redwitch]

18. Chris Christie?

[lovemydog]

28. I see what you did there.

[shenmue]

19. Chris Brown

[lovemydog]

29. Hell yes.

Woman beater.

[kwassa]

20. Geraldo Rivera. Beat that monument to ego.

[kwassa]

21. Dennis Miller.

[Tom Ripley]

22. Surprisingly, Bill Murray is a first class jerk

[kwassa]

23. Bill Maher

[kwassa]

24. John Stossel, the most overwhelming ego in journalism.

[3catwoman3]

26. So many assholes.

So little time.

There are a lot to choose from.

[KeepItReal]

27. Kanye calls *HIMSELF* an asshole in his lyrics. What's your point?

He is well aware of his oversize ego, irrational acts and says as much.

[lovemydog]

30. Michael Bay

[lovemydog]

31. In the showbiz industry

on the executive side, too many to count.

[Jamaal510]

33. 'Yeezy has competition for the Showbiz Asshole Medal with...

-Ted Nugent
-Donald Trump
-Bill Maher
-Iggy Azalea
-Nene Leakes
-Charles Barkley
-Diddy (aka. Sean Combs)
-Jay-Z (particularly in regards to what happened between him and Beanie Sigel)

P.S. I'm not sure if Justin Beaver necessarily qualifies as an asshole, anyway. He comes off more as an idiot.

[mackerel]

35. Actually Beck is a dick too but he's a very talented dick.

Kanye doesn't have as much musical talent but he is clever.

[RandiFan1290]

36. I run into a lot of racists that HATE Kanye

They seem to be obsessed over him.

It was probably the shot he took at their hero W

[Major Nikon]

37. David and Jason Benham

They were on Faux today complaining they were fired over their "beliefs".

[Coventina]

38. Careful, there's a thread in GD with multiple posters implying that if you don't like Kanye you're a

racist.

Of course, I don't know where that leaves African Americans who don't care for him.....



on edit: just got up and totally wrote the opposite of what I meant....fixed now.....

[Arugula Latte]

40. I guess President Obama is a racist.

[Arugula Latte]

39. Nope. Can't be done.

[TBF]

41. The entire Kardashian Clan and Alec Baldwin

come to mind. Although my first choice was Clint Eastwood and his chair, but someone had already posted that one.

[hunter]

43. Ronald Reagan.

I know he's dead, but he's one of the all-time greats...
