FFFC - Celebrity Edition

[summer]

(Not to include a certain president-elect)

I don't like Angelina Jolie. I never have. Don't know why, but she just strikes me as unauthentic. And this stated way back in her Lara Croft/Billy Bob Thorton days.

Also have irrational hatred toward Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson (and her fitness line), and Robert Downey Jr. And I think Katherine Heigel is a big ol whiner.

I have almost no feelings towards any of them. But I did meet Jane Goodall once after sort of stalking her around Africa...she did not seem thrilled, but that could have been from the stalking. I heard later that she was kind of not that nice. But then, I hardly have any expectations for anyone anymore and if you spend all day with chimps, maybe you've to be forgiven some social limitations in your dealings with waitstaff.

Mariah Carey! Barf

I deeply dislike Taylor Swift. I think she is a pretty good song writer, but only a mediocre singer at best. And from what I know (which admittedly is not much), her personality leaves something to be desired.

I am not a fan of Bruce Willis, and whenever George Clooney speaks I end up rolling my eyes, even if we are on the same side of the political spectrum.

I can also confess that when it comes to celebrities, my parents are friends with a few, and I used to find it highly amusing that when they would call the house when I was a teenager they would never just say 'Can you tell your folks that John called and to call me back at 12345' but instead would be like 'Can you tell your parents that John Superstar called? They can try to reach me at 12345 but I'm ON THE SET OF A MOVIE right now, so I may be too busy to answer' Like they had to show off during the time when they actually had a bit of anonymity. I'm not going to name drop who it was, but there was more than 1 that behaved in this silly way, and their names are/were pretty recognizable.

I once stalked Kyle MacLachlan because I love Twin Peaks and he was super sweet and so was his wife, who noticed our stalkery behavior and sent him over to say hello.

NAMES!!!!! I think we all want names!

[sagen]

Yes! Names expatmama we won't tell I don't really dislike anyone, too apathetic I guess. Trump would be it, but he is off the list according to the rules of the thread.

I have to admit that I don't care enough about celebrities to dislike them. I think a few are attractive, but that's about it.

I have always avoided gossiping about my parents' weird friends who people know but don't know, but I will throw out one name that is not their friend but was trying to reach someone who was visiting us at the time. Most of these happened before the days of cell phones, so they called the house line.

I must have been no more than 10, back in the day when that was normal to leave a kid that age home alone with a little sibling, and Rodd Stewart called to speak with our houseguest. I left a note on the kitchen table with his name and number on it, then went out to play. My parents came home without their friend and were absolutely baffled when they found the note on the table.

I feel inexplicable animosity toward Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Garner. Something about them drives me crazy.

I can not stand Taylor Swift but that's because Louis Tomlinson doesn't like her.
