Who Was The Most Annoying Celebrity of 2009?

Jon Gosselin

2009 was a particularly annoying year in terms of celebrities. And well, most things. But celebrities for sure. Today the SCTimes.com printed their list of the 10 most annoying celebrities of 2009 and I couldn’t agree more with their picks:

1. Jon Gosselin — This guy is so annoying that he made his wife Kate seem less annoying than usual this year. Once the couple split, which you may have heard about in the media, he made one annoying move after another. His wife, on the other hand, took the high road, assuming you believe that the “high road” is granting a series of TV interviews in which you whine about your money problems.

2. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt — This couple actually walked around in 2009 with their own video camera, hoping to sell the footage to a cable network for a reality show. These self-serving people set out to annoy the world, and they succeeded.

3. The Kardashians — Frankly, I initially couldn’t decide among sisters Kim, Kourtney or Khloe, or even their mother Kris. This reality-show family lifted annoyance to an art form. Kourtney had a baby this year, and Khloe married Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom, so we’re giving them a partial pass. Although Kris raised these three annoying young women, I’ve got to give the most annoying award to Kim. But, in the interest of fairness, let’s just call them all annoying.

4. Perez Hilton — For those of you who do not track the world of celebrity blogging, you probably assume I’m talking about someone related to Paris Hilton. This guy is not related to anyone named Hilton. His real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, and he took the heiress’s name because he worships her. How annoying is that? Anyway, this guy has become a celebrity in his own right by mocking other celebrities on his blog. The most annoying (and despicable) thing he did in 2009 was reporting the death of former “Charlie’s Angels” actress Jaclyn Smith and, when she announced that she was very much alive, this bottom-feeder didn’t have the courtesy or class to apologize.

5. Kanye West — I’ve got news for you; even if he didn’t do that obnoxious thing to Taylor Swift on that awards show, he still would have made this list. I grind my teeth whenever this guy opens his mouth.

6. Levi Johnston — The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild decided he wanted to be an annoying jerk when he grows up. On one TV show, he was joined on a panel by Jon Gosselin. It takes one to know one.

7. Nadya Suleman — You might know her better as “The Octomom.” I use the word “celebrity” loosely in discussing her, but I had no plans to write a list of the “Most annoying mother of 14 children,” so I had to include her here. I don’t really have to explain why she is annoying, do I?

8. Joe Jackson — The father of the late pop singer Michael Jackson transcends annoying, particularly when he seemed to be trying to benefit financially from his son’s death. He hardly belongs in what is supposed to be a lighthearted column, but his face annoys me, so how could I keep him off this list?

9. Miley Cyrus — Is she old enough to retire yet? I am so sick and tired of her and her father. She grates on me, and I thought I’d never get rid of her, but if she keeps pulling stunts like that little dance on the stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards, I won’t have to put up with the Cyrus family much longer. Once Miley slips out of public favor, her father will soon follow.

10. Kara DioGuardi — It wasn’t her fault that the people behind the TV show “American Idol” decided to expand the judge’s table to four. The singer-songwriter probably was doomed to failure before she started because viewers didn’t like the change, but she certainly made the worst of a bad situation. Was it just me, or did she start to annoy from day one? She seemed awkward, and the more she tried to ingratiate herself with the audience, the more awkward it got. The producers tried to convince us of her musical credentials, but nobody was buying the sales job. When she wrote a lame song for the competition, she was exposed.

While I’d probably cut the Kardashians from the list (I can’t hate them. They are so harmless and dumb to me and that Khloe makes me laugh) and move Miley up a few notches, I think this is more or less a great list. However, there are plenty of other celebrities out there who grated on our last nerve this year. Tila Tequila, Mischa Barton and Lady Gaga are three people I could deal with hearing less about.

Who’s your pick for the most annoying celebrity of 2009?

  • Great post Molls!! I almost 100% agree! I’d add Tiger Woods to the list, yes the recent ’bout of debauchery puts him high up there but how about his pompous attitude? the guy is a huge spoil sport and aggrivating to watch on tv and now all this?

  • Every time I see Pamela Anderson’s haggard old tits and ass I want to have my corneas harvested without the aid of anesthesia.

    I wouldn’t be sad at all if Perez Hilton died in a fire. Ditto for his namesake.

    Heidi and Spencer have induced mini-pukes many times for me.

    Every time Elizabeth Hasselbeck opens her mouth – I want to put a gun in mine.

    If there really was a Santa Claus, then Michael Jackson’s father – Joe Jackson – would be the victim of a televised prison-style gang rape and I could watch it on HBO Pay-Per-View.

    I have to say, one thing I DO like about Kanye is that he is a trouble maker. He just can’t help himself and he is certainly keeping it “real” that way.

    Also, I think if Chris Brown hadn’t beat the crap out of her, Rhianna would already be back in Barbados making pina coladas at a resort and lip synching her one-hit wonder at the bar every two hours.

    Just sayin’.

  • Lyndsey Lohan. I really don’t consider prez hilton a celebrity – maybe a wannna be.

    Also the whole Heene “balloon Boy” family.

    And just because he’s such a sleaze – Tiger Woods.

    And how can we forget Octomom?

    Man, the list can go on, and on…

  • Maddof and wife.

    Tila Tequila

    Sarah Palin

    Girls Gone Wild Asshole (I’ve conveniently forgotten his name – that’s how much he means to me.)

    • Agreed, but I’d add his Klingon wife to the list as well. God I am sick of hearing about how she’s Jackie O v2.0 when she looks like a freaking Klingon mixed with the Predator. The media relentlessly pushing those two down our throats just makes me even more resentful and inclined to hate them even more than I already did..and I already hated them to begin with so IDK. So yeah, Lord Purple Drank/Jesus F. Kennedy Christ and Klingon Obama SHOULD be #1 lol.

  • scout- comic genius? i believe so.

    “Every time Elizabeth Hasselbeck opens her mouth – I want to put a gun in mine.”

    funniest thing I have read all day.

  • haha, it’s kind of confussing that when u said that miley cyrus is one of the most annoying celebrity, u love to post things about her…

    i mean i haven’t read this blog since 6 month ago coz i don’t have time, but even i love what u wrote every single time, now that i check the latest post there was las 2 or 3 news, videos or whatever in the first 3 pages, so please don’t said that miley is annoying when u are absolutely so obssesive addicted in love with her…

    don’t worry i have a little secret to u… i love miley too…

    • No shit! I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing that. Oh well, it’s still better than actually having to dissect a post that long from Molls!

  • Lady Gaga, no way!
    I’d take off OctoMum and Miley, and add Tila Tequila and… Chris Brown or Rihanna, either one.

  • Rex Reed-Redux and his laughable Karoke talent which was in service to perversity and and degeneration performance were the highlights of TV for sure.

  • Wait, where is Paris Hilton on this list?

    She should be at the top every year. She started this whole celebrity with no talent business (other than a cheap amateur porn film to her credit).
