Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsAre there any celebrities who annoy you and you don't know exactly why?
It's not that they are a jerk or a criminal or an idiot conservative. They just annoy you for reasons not quite clear.
There are a few of those that come to my head. One for me would be EDM DJ/"musical artist" Calvin Harris. Not quite sure why, but I think it's for any one of the two reasons.
One, because he's a DJ and we're supposed to call him a musician. And yes, I know he does some vocals but most of his work is mixing records and creating songs that are repetitive and overproduced.
Two, because apparently he's dating Taylor Swift and that's supposedly a big deal and we'll hear all about it from now until the time Taylor Swift releases her next album featuring songs about how she broke up with him.

It annoys me.
And I don't know why he does these things.

(5,504 posts)But Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins creep me out. They are just so....I don't know.....self righteous...
One of the funniest things I ever heard a comedian say is.....to his wife.... "Clean the chimney !!??...I'd rather watch
the Super Bowl at Susan and Tim's house"
Dr. Strange

(34,131 posts)I just watched "The Truman Show" this afternoon and was surprised at how good an actor he was. I also enjoyed him in "The Majestic." But I detest the comedic films he's been in and the over the top mugging he (or his directors) seems to think is funny. Any film with him or Adam Sandler goes on "never bother to watch" list.

(34,131 posts)But the comedies he has chosen to do celebrate stupidity to a level I find offensive. There are enough stupid men in the world without a smart one playing stupid for no good reason. I just don't find the kind of comedy Jim Carrey has made his trademark enjoyable.
There are other performers I know are good and intelligent people that I refuse to watch because I get no enjoyment out of their selected roles. As I said, there are a few movies that Carrey has done that I do enjoy - but most he has decided to make his trademark style are not amusing or enjoyable for me.

(1,681 posts)I don't see Cher's "talent". Nope, don't even want to know.
TS is creepy to me. The constant changing boyfriend train with the eventual breakup-whinning is grating. She looks "off" to me for some reason.
Mr. Kardashian makes me laugh with his "serious" muscian bit. He's been overshadowed by his wife who got famous for a porn video & a consistent parade of muscian/athletes after that.

Madonna's narcissism is annoying. Yeah, I know all celebs are narcissists, but hers is especially annoying.
Tipperary
(6,930 posts)Kanye annoys me too. Mostly because he always looks so grumpy. But also because he married that twit Kardashian creature.

(72,790 posts)And more. Probably more than I should allow myself to be annoyed by. LOL
Tipperary
(6,930 posts)Even his name annoys me.
skypilot

Oh, yeah, and Nicolas Cage.
