Overrated Celebrities

Katy Perry. So average in every possible way.

[quote]Overrated Celebrities

[quote]Are there any actors or musicians...

Basquiat isn't an actor, musician or celebrity. Is the topic about anyone in the public eye? Politicians, entrepreneurs, socialites, etc?

Dave Grohl is obviously a nice guy, but the Foo Fighters best work was in the 90s

Isn’t this the 17,325th thread you started on this subject, OP?

Sarah Silverman

R4 No

All of them except Anna Nicole Smith and Rae Dawn Chong.

Chelsea Handler

Kevin Hart

Beyonce

Warhol liked Basquiat's big dick and in exchange smothered him with media attention that culminated in a tinge legitimacy. His value rests in the nostalgia for the end of the Warhol era and nothing more. He sucked then and he still sucks.

John Krazinski

Wow, Basquiat is the hill you want to die on?

Really?

I'm left cold by most Modern Artists, especially Post-Modern Expressionists, but I think Jean-Michel Basquiat is the most emotionally alive and brilliant talent in generations.

All of them.

Beyonce

She's like an annoying cheerleader who can sing four shrill notes.

I think she's really bad.

Too bad he's physically dead.

James Charles

George Clooney

M

Why?

Oh J? Really? Who’s that? The unfilmable fucking plastic surgery freak last worked as supporting player in that Netflix shit with Evan Hansen?

No ones checking for the hags. Maybe Meryl if she agrees to a break.

O.J. Simpson was in [italic]Dear Evan Hansen[/italic]?

Who the fuck is J?

Kathy Griffin. Never funny for one second. No wonder Trump destroyed her with zero effort. Also, most rappers. And that Billy Eilish (sp?) singer.

R23 Julianne Moore.

No, not Julianne Moore. I believe J is supposed to be Jessica Lange. Witch. Harridan.

Who are Julianne Moore & Jessica Lange?

R3 How is he obviously a nice guy? Cause he doesn't murder people?

"How is he obviously a nice guy? Cause he doesn't murder people?"

You can be nice and murder people.

You're so judgmental.

Blake Lively.

Kelly Ripa. I can’t believe she’s on TV.

Idris Elba. People are very demonstrative about their admiration for him in a way that’s very “I have a black friend!” but most of the projects he headlines on his own bomb due to lack of interest…hmm…

Viola Davis

Jennifer Lopez. She isn't great at any of the "triple threat" things she's allegedly able to do - sing, dance, and for the love of god, her "acting."

OP, I don’t get Kristen Wiig, either.

R32 who cares, he’s still hot.

Jessica Chastain

J-Lo

Lady Gaga

Taylor Swift - her songs have bland melodies that don’t quite work.

Jay Z - I don’t get it all.

Britney Spears

Jay Z’s BFF, Gwyneth Paltrow, possibly the most irritating celebrity ever (aside from Kim Kardashian).

Taylor Swift owns this title

The Superhero-Industrial Complex

Miranda July

Aaron Sorkin

Ryan Reynolds

I can’t even look at Miranda July face and stupid hair. Why does she always look like she’s trying to impersonate a frightened child or sweet, innocent baby deer? Her eyes must ache from being held open so wide all the time. She’s fucking creepy.

And DON’T call her quirky!

Justin Timberlake: horrid singer and even more horrific actor; UNATTRACTIVE

Also comes across as a smug idiot.

Why does he continue to get opportunities?

R42 I agree, she was part of the whole “twee” trend in of the 2010s that thankfully seems to have died out. (Something about the Trump years pushed women artists to stop fucking around with “put a bird on it” nonsense.) Patricia Lockwood almost out-twee’d her early on but also has the writing chops to sustain a career.

All of them.

The woke Mark Ruffalo & ScarJo.

R42:

“ “I’ve been doing a lot of radio interviews all over the US, and there’s a certain kind of midwestern woman who, when she says, “You’re so quirky, I love it”, I really don’t judge her at all. I think, that is the word in your vocabulary and you mean that in the best way. And so when someone who has a wider vocabulary chooses to do that, I guess I think that they’re sort of limited.”

Ha ha!!

I believe Katrina was unusually large and slow-moving, so it sat there over the city and pummeled it for days. That’s part of the reason the levees failed.

Oops, my bad! Katrina was an underrated celebrity!

DL has seemed to finally move on from AnnE.

Viola Davis-overrated and arrogant as fuck.

R38 another vote for Lady Gaga. How in the hell is she so huge?

I've never understood Kate Winslet's appeal.

She has a blank face and a beyond bland presence. Everyone lauds her skillful acting, but I don't see it at all. She seems kind of lesbianish in every role. When I think of her I think "sturdy female."

I understand why GAga was huge from 2009 through 2011 but all of her reinventions after that have been boring and dull. She's proof that having talent doesn't equate with being interesting.

I'll get dragged for this, but the late Keith Haring. An artistic one-trick pony. And he certainly was a celeb.

Warhol definitely. The emperor's new clothes, that one.

I love Kristen Wiig. Tina Fey, OTOH...

[quote] Kelly Ripa. I can’t believe she’s on TV.

Kelly Ripa is on morning or daytime, network TV, which is geared toward the dumbest of the dumb people.

Ever see Fargo (the movie), that scene where Jerry's wife is watching daytime TV, right before she gets kidnapped? I don't know if that's a real TV show within the movie, but it was so dumb and seemed real.

R57 I think Kristen Wiig is overrated, but i would take her any day over smug Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

I can’t believe I am the first one to mention Jimmy Fallon...

I don’t get the fascination with Megan McCain and all the attention given to her every utterance.

R11 Sure

R39 Taylor Swift's songs are too wordy. The cringey spoken word part of "Shake It Off" is a good example:

Hey, hey, hey Just think while you've been gettin' down and out about the liars And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world You could've been gettin' down To this sick beat

R63, that's what I don't understand about today's pop music. It isn't even TRYING to be catchy.

Jimmy Fallon interviewing someone is a non-interview rehearsed PR drivel R60

Addison Rae

Timothee Chalamet. I've never seen somebody so mediocre being pushed so intensely for no reason.

Jennifer Aniston.

Madeline Khan

Justin Timberlake

Kanye West

Britney Spears

Jennifer Lopez

Robin Thicke

Leo.

He looked like an anorexic lesbian in The Basketball Diaries.

Judi Dench

R71 To be fair Jim Carroll did kind of look like a lesbian, Cherry Jones, if young enough, could have played him. Honestly though, it seems in many cases that heroin feminized some men if that’s even a possibility.

[quote] "John Krazinski"

I would gladly take John Krasinski in any number of holes I might be able to offer. I think he's tremendous, R10.

Krasinski is too low key to be overrated.

Ryan Seacrest Fat guy in money-back Redneck from home improvement Any wannabe gay actor Kristin Bell This wonder women shit Justin Timberlake Kanye west douche
