Seeing Stars: I Love You/Go F*** Yourself



So, I’m pretty involved in the lives of our betters.  And by betters, I mean celebrities.  By that, I don’t mean that I watch TMZ obsessively or read People like it’s the bible.  I mean that I react to big celebrity happenings as if they were happening to members of my own family.  True story, I may or may not have been blinking back tears when I found out the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were expecting.  More on that later.  Anyway, there are some celebrities that I have come to love seeing on my TV or computer screen, and some that I abhor.  So now, for your reading pleasure a discussion (not a list!  It’s NOT a list!) of the stars that I love and the stars that can go fuck themselves.


Kim Kardashian: I don’t know if my vocabulary is sufficient to describe the depths of my disdain for this woman.  I can’t stand her entire family, for that matter.  They’re like a lumpy, congealed blob of self-tanner, botox and semen.  Seriously, I feel like if I touched this her, I would want to wash my hands immediately afterward.  I suppose part of my hatred toward her should really be directed at our society, instead, because they keep watching her show and buying her shit, thereby perpetuating her presence on our TVs and in our lives, but I’ve seen enough of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to know that, no, I really do NOT like Kim Kardashian.  I can’t stand the way she talks, the way she talks about being a good role model for her sisters (like that ship hasn’t already sailed), how she yells at her mom and stepdad, acts like her life is so hard and how she’s such a victim.  (Aww, poor Kim.  You made a sex tape with your gross ex-husband.  I feel bad for you.)  Ugh.  Just…go fuck yourself, you sad, sad, crusty shell of a woman.

Best cry face EVAH!!!

Kate Middleton: If I could be any other person on the earth, I would be Kate Middleton.  She is flawless.  Like, literally, flawless.  If you put her under a microscope (which, essentially, is the story of her life), you still wouldn’t find anything short of fabulous.  She is a shining beacon of class and dignity and beauty.  Nothing, be it the escapades of her trashy brother, leaked photos of her tots, or severe morning sickness that required hospitalization, can tarnish that unflappable veneer.  I mean, the palace may have even had a nurse killed to protect the public from being subjected to even a mental image of Kate Middleton vomiting or wearing pajamas.  There is no one out there as flawless as Kate.  She can do no wrong.  I am almost delirious with excitement for the birth of her child.  I suppose I should change the blog header…  Kate, you are a perfect specimen of human and I love you.



Perez Hilton: I used to read his celeb gossip website religiously…until I realized I was checking it every half hour and that I needed to STAHP.  But even though I don’t read the site anymore, this guy refuses to go away.  He’s like a herpe on the lip of society.  I can’t stand the way he shame-shames everyone for their hateful opinions about gay marriage and other hot-button issues, but uses his blog to dole out copious amounts of hate for Octomom or Avril Lavigne or Ke$ha or whoever else he doesn’t think is totally amazeballs.  And I also couldn’t stand how he used to constantly try and “out” Zachary Quinto or Anderson Cooper.  That’s none of your business, Perez.  Quit trying to shame people out of the closet.  They’ll come out when they want to.  You, sir, are a bully and an icky, icky person.  And you can go fuck yourself.



Simon Pegg:  I don’t think Simon Pegg has ever done anything that I don’t think is awesome and adorable.  And that includes his hilarious TV show: Spaced, his portrayal of Montgomery Scott in Star Trek, his films with Nick Frost, his adorable Instagrams of his dog and anything else that he has put out into the world.  To the geek culture, Simon Pegg is like a prophet, a figure of immense wisdom and wonder.  And I am using his definition of the word “geek” which is outlined in his book and displayed below.  So, you can understand why people like me enjoy his work and think he’s just freakin awesome, in general.  Based on his tweets, I get the impression that he’s also a really lovely guy.  Simon Pegg is awesome, not only in his body of work but in his general existence.  Love you.



Mark Wahlberg: I don’t know much about Mark Wahlberg.  I’ve only seen like two of his movies (The Happening and Ted) but I just get the impression that he takes himself WAY too seriously.  It truly bugs me that I have no evidence to support these claims, but I just really really think this guy is kind of a wiener jacket.  Perhaps one day, I will understand Marky Mark.  But that day is not today.  So he can go fuck himself.



Miley Cyrus: I’m sure Miley’s not a bad person, but I feel like she really needs to go away for a while and give us all a breather.  Talk about overstaying her welcome.  I didn’t care about her when she was on Hannah Montana, I didn’t care when those first skanky photos leaked, I cared a little when she started saying shit about Nick Jonas (back off my boys!), I didn’t care when she got caught bong-handed, when she pole-danced, when she got engaged, when she started getting tattoos and dressing all Courtney Love, when she shaved her head—I just.  Do not.  Care.  Sometimes, I just want to shake her and yell at her to go hide away for a while and try to be a normal person, but the rest of the time, I just want to tell her to go fuck herself.

Put them away, Miley.  No one wants to see that.

Taylor Swift: This one’s tough for me because I love love all of Taylor Swift’s music.  Like, I have 2 of her CDs in my car’s 6 disc changer, right now.  That’s one third of the music I have in my car.  I LOVE her.  But sometimes I can’t freakin stand her.  Whether it’s her “oh my god, you really like me?” face she does every. time. she wins something, or the pure, virginal sweetheart she portrays herself to be everytime she dons a princessy dress or sings about wanting to get married and have babies, or the fact that she still puts on that pure, virginal sweetheart act even though she goes through like a boyfriend a week.  Not to mention, about 90% of her songs are about boys that have done her wrong and their awful, skanky girlfriends.  Taylor, you need to look inside yourself and realize that the problem is not them, it’s you.  I love you, but go fuck yourself.

See?  She makes that face all the time.

Thanks for reading and I’ll see you real soon.  In the meantime, don’t forget to help control the pet population.  Support pro-choice dog clinics!
