Celebs you knew were full of shit before the rest of the world did

Jennifer Lawrence and Taylor Swift

The reductive Lady Gaga.

Quentin Tarantino Tiger Woods

Donald Trump

Another vote for Bill Cosby.

Katy Perry.

Mel Gibson

Tom Cruise

Julia Roberts, Madonna, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie

Jussie may not own this thread, but he’s leasing a lot of space on it.

Kevin Spacey.

Ellen deGeneres. Never seemed as nice as she acted (and she's a nightmare).

Chris Pratt. All those fine as Chrises in HW, yet he becomes the biggest movie star? He gives good face but I could tell that he's a homophobic douche.

Marlon Brando.

Jussie can't afford this thread, R9!

For me, Michael Jackson. It was the late eighties, when I realized he was making public appearances with little boys because they were his dates.

Fatty Arbuckle .

r14 Jussie's family is loaded and connected. He can afford this page, the dude's family just bought his way out of jail in front of national TV.

Rose McGowan

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

How dare you say something about ScarJo!

David Letterman

Have never found him funny. He's like negative funny.

And had questionable feelings about Susan Richardson as soon as her character came on Eight is Enough.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, that smug cunt.

Keanu Reeves -- can't act and hasn't aged well. Kevin Costner -- I never got the appeal and he's a one-note actor. Same "Gee Whiz" type of acting. George Clooney. He seems weird and isn't all that. What's the big deal about him, who cares about what he did on ER? His movies are boring. He obviously has a lavender marriage to that stick insect.

Joan Crawford

I like Scarlett Johansson. She might not be super bright but I don’t think she’s smug.

Deb Messing.

GOOP.

Kermit, that bitch.

Elon Musk. His public meltdown has been satisfying, especially after everyone was sucking him off when he shot a car into space.

R25 yeah, I think shes interesting. She's like an average cute girl who was catapulted into being a "bombshell" but like most every other beautiful actress, it's just good lighting, makeup and wardrobe. She's not the best actress but she is interesting. I wish her acting was a little more moving but hey, at least she's not Paltrow

Keanu Reeves is awesome. Watch this and tell me he's not.

Helen Lawson

Meghan Markle & Georgia from My Favorite Murder.

Meghan Markle on her dog "I think he'll be just fine." FULL STOP CRINGE omg

Cringe so hard

Leslie Jones

Judd Apatow

He's insufferable R35, as is his annoying wife who can't act. Leslie Mann is always the same in every role.

What's really annoying about Judd Apatow is that he is constantly bashing Cosby and Woody Allen. But, he stays quiet on his pal James Franco.

I’m calling it now: Tim O’Tay.

James Franco is full of shit too, so is Amber Heard, obviously

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are so smug and unbearable. They are hit and miss at best.

Lens Dunham.

Jerry Seinfeld.

Alain Delon, arrogant and uneducated french cunt.

I didn't understand why everyone on Datalounge was attacking Meghan Markle right before the wedding, and thought it was just they were jealous because they wanted to pretend Harry would be single and available forever. but as soon as the story about her wanting to wear the tiara with the big emerald leaked (and palace sources reported Harry said to them with regards to it, "Whatever Meghan wants, Meghan gets"), I knew she was just in the marriage for the attention and for her ego.

R43 how could Harry not cheat on her. Just a decade ago he was naked with bimbos in an orgy Vegas hotel room. He's only 33. That part of him hasn't died yet!

Yes, number one is Bill Cosby. The constant preaching, and slooow responses to questions was enough. I despised him decades ago.

Letterman

Susan Sarandon

Noted domestic abuser and wet wipe enthusiast Terrance Howard.

John Krasinksi - there's something phony as fuck about him

Leave MJ alone! He was just a grown man who liked sleeping with little boys! Nothing wrong with that.

Gwyneth Patrol

Angelina Jolie

George Clooney

Do we consider Michael Avenatti a celebrity? If so...

Second vote for Elon Musk. Every "techbro" and "entrepreneur" on the Earth couldn't stop admiring this spoofer. For me he represents ALL that is wrong with the world of work today- promising the sun, moon and stars and everyone in awe of... well, nice words. He hasn't delivered, and I think this is a good check point for peoples' value systems. What really matters is what you deliver, not what you say!

[quote]Gwyneth Patrol

This cracked me up.

Damn autocorrect. :-)

Lens, I couldn't stand her or her smug voice.

RBG.

Taylor Swift

I didn't fall for her sweetie pie, down-to-Earth, nice girl act for a second. I always knew she was a spoiled, entitled, vindictive little bitch.

There's always been something about Donald Trump that I found to be untrustworthy.

Sanctimonious cunts such as Angelina Jolie and Goop. At least Paltrow lets us know, that she knows people find her annoying, pretentious and grifter-like.

Most Televangelists.

R5 Agree Bill Cosby. Even as a kid I thought those Jello commercials were creepy.

I think "Gwyneth Patrol" has to become the next "Lens Dunham."

AnnE

I was in the minority in the 1980s, but I could not stand Bill Cosby or the grossly-overrated "Cosby Show."

"The Jeffersons" was funny (well, the first few seasons, anyway), and "Good Times" is still enjoyable once in a while., but "Cosby" was so NOT funny. Smug and condescending. Even more so now that we know the full story of his grossness.

Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato.

Andy Cohen

Heather Unruh

Lance Armstrong. Wasn’t surprised when that phony narcissist went down.

I liked the MFM hosts at first, but now can’t stand the vocal fry, cutesy affectations, constant f-bombs, and “murderino” frau fandom.

Mark Zuckerberg.

Has anyone said Ryan Seacrest yet? That fucking eunuch.

Roseanne. I never believed she was the prole hag with a heart of gold as she was portrayed on the show. And I know the show was fictional but people liked to believe she was actually like that for a time.

ScarJo is the most smug celebrity ever.

Keanu as well.

GOOP

ScarJo

Madre de GOOP

ScarJo

Marcia Cross

Lizzo. Her music is basic and her body is grotesque.

[quote]Jussie may not own this thread, but he’s leasing a lot of space on it.

I knew Jussie was full of himself and had an attitude problem before the incident, but I had no idea how deranged he was.

Ashton Kutcher

Tiger Woods

When I was in France, the French thought Lance was cheating. I didn’t see it until years later. What a douche bag he is. Remember when he sold the Live Strong yellow bracelets? He’s a psychopath.

Natalie fucking Portman and her resting bitch face.

You can still buy Lance’s bracelets on Amazon for 10.00 dollars.

R49 Surely you were referring to Gwyneth [italic] Petrol [/italic].

Then after the live strong, everyone started making them. Because more crap for the landfills and the oceans is so charitable!

R56 I didn't fall for it either. I think she's a sociopath.

Nicholas Cage

Was in a lot of movies, but didn't come across as extraordinarily talented.

Blake Lively has always rubbed me the wrong way. Her sweet, wholesome girl next door persona strikes me as put on. And there are lots of nasty rumours about her (that she was one of 'Harvey's girls', fucked more than one married man etc.).

Kate Winslet. Phony and pretentious even in her early interviews. Overrated actress. Polanski/Allen fan girl. Patted herself on the back for not having thanked Harvey Weinstein in her Oscar acceptance speech. Seriously?

Cate Blanchett

Queen Goop Petrol

Judi Dench

Gaga

Taylor Swift

Chris Pratt. The guy is so totally trying to become the second coming of Reagan it’s sickening.

Liberace

Bob Barker

Tim Tebow

Susan Dey

Susan Sarandon

Wendy Williams

With Angelina, there was a moment where you understood what the fuss was about. (Gia, Girl Interrupted era)

Gwyneth has always been dreadfully boring and worst of all, middlebrow, despite her attempts to appear uppercrust. She'd be organizing paint and sip parties were it not for her famous lineage and connections.

Chris Pine. I'd heard he was a mean, sloppy drunk and nasty to people before he was all that well-known.

[quote]Then after the live strong, everyone started making them. Because more crap for the landfills and the oceans is so charitable!

I remember that. I was in college around that time and was doing volunteer work with Easter Seals and at one point they considered making and selling awareness wrist bands.

.....

The entire Smith family. Will, Jada and the brats. BARF!

Another vote for Michael Avenatti. I won't say I thought he was "full of shit," but I wondered how he had so much time to travel with Stormy Daniels (stripper who had sex with Donald Trump). I was pretty sure that Stormy Daniels didn't have enough money to pay Avenatti very much money up front. I realize people like Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom also seem to have a lot of time to do press conferences with their clients, but not to that degree. Also, with Allred and Bloom, those kinds of clients seem to be their bread and butter, so they have cases in different stages of payment at all times, probably.

When Avenatti got evicted for not paying office rent, that's when things started to make sense. I'm not even talking about the subsequent federal indictment for theft, etc.

Technically a politician but I always knew McCain was a venal sleaze and never bought into the reverence that so many liberals had for him. Now we're stuck with his nasty daughter.

Faye Dunaway

Mother Teresa. (And I'm being serious.)

R92, you're so right! Can't stand any of them and their constant overshare. Sick!

R96 Good call! She wasn't all that great and saintly.

I'm suspicious of anyone who seems to good to be true.

The shockingly unfunny, homophobic Twacy Mo'gan.

Dylan, Cohen, Browne, Springsteen, Crosby, Baez, Collins - pretty much everybody but me.

Zooey Deschanel.

Angelina. Nothing never felt right from the start with that one

Trevor Noah. Icky unfunny creep. I have an intense aversion to him that goes beyond finding him unfunny. He just seems like a nasty person.

R14 guess you forgot MJ dated Brooke Shields, married Lisa Marie Presley, and fathered 3 children.

OMG r105 I hope you're trying to be funny.

Seth Macfarlane

Has the world discovered something venal about Trevor Noah?

Madonna.

Robert (Beto) O'Rourke - smarmy, phony and trying too hard faux common man. Can't stand him! Mayor Pete Mary Kate and Ashley - even as a kid I thought they were annoying and overrated Ugly Ben Affleck

I knew Ben Affleck was a total fucking douchebag when I first saw him all those years ago. He looked like a college meathead/date rapist back then.

R86 Now that you mention it, I can totally see Chris Pratt running for office, a la Arnold Schwarzenegger. Probably have his own affair scandal too.

Shia LeBeouf and his "I don't want to be famous anymore, but please pay attention to me" shtick. It should not have gotten as far as it did for people to figure it out.

Justin Bieber and the "I took a break from music, now I'm a better person." That man was shielded from every mistake he has ever made. There was no way he grew as a person in that short time he sat in his mansion smoking pot and cheating on Selena Gomez.

Aaron Carter, well, everyone on DataLounge knew who he was, but I still saw people online defending him even after his "I am no longer bisexual" statement.

Bill Maher. Gosh, you would think the world would be better at smelling bull shit with so much spreading around. Maybe that is the problem, we have become nose-blind. Maher is just an ass hole. That is it, he just a man who enjoys being the biggest ass in the room. Sometimes his beliefs match up with yours but that will not stop him from presenting hole in your general direction because he is nothing without someone to belittle.

While we are on the topic, there is no better compliment to an ass hole than a dick and Jon Hamm is one of the biggest. Arrogance perforates everything he does. If he and George Clooney are ever in a room they would dim every light in Hollywood with their thick smug.

Speaking of limited range actors, I knew Channing Tatum was not worth more than the shirt he tore off.

Clooney gives me the creeps. I feel like there's something very sinister larking beneath that polished surface.

*lurking

Barbara Walters

Cindy Lou Who

I never cared for Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor, but I honestly don’t think he is as ridiculous as Chris Pratt. Arnold is politically conservative, but he doesn’t seem to give two fucks about restricting gay rights or locking the POC out of the country. Chris is a religious loon. Talking about god and Jesus. At least Schwarzenegger wasn’t that kind of hypocrite.

Bruce Willis who everyone now knows is a hateful bad of dark energy.

r88, you're confusing "middlebrow" with "middle class."

They are not the same thing.

[quote] Mayor Pete Mary Kate and Ashley - even as a kid I thought they were annoying and overrated

You must have been quite aware of Indiana local politics as a child!

R22 what's wrong with SMG??

Thank you R49 for Gwyneth Patrol - you've made my night lol

Also, another vote for lecherous Cosby, and Jennifer Lawrence. I'd also like to nominate Matthew McConaughey, that smug pubic haired looking prick.

Back in the day, Sammy Davis Jr. came across as being fake. All he had going for him were two lame songs (Candy Man and Mr. Bojangles - both he played out to the very end. Sure he was part of the Rat Pack, but who cares? When you try to be too cool, you probably aren't. I rest my case.

DL icon Patricia Heaton

Ryan Gosling and his eternally punchable, smug breeder face.

Marco and his Foam Parties and stray men in the park.

Um, why has no one mentioned Oprah?

I was supposed to be the Republican parties golden boy, I reached rock star notoriety. But it takes a real fuckwat to fail when everyone in his party from the President to congress were in control of government and still couldn't make things happen.

Glenn

Bernie Sanders.

Republican woman.

Bill Cosby. I was surprised this man was popular. Didn't like him in the least, and didn't like his show.

Quentin Tarantino. A frustrated, creepy dork who somehow managed to make male audiences believe he was "cool". The coolness mostly came from the music, and by all accounts he's not a musician. I never liked DJs either.

Kevin Spacey, for the most part. As enjoyable as some of his parts were, it never occurred to me that playing a sociopath was any stretch at all of his "acting" abilities, and more like a "sophisticated" freakshow.

George Clooney. Took me years to find any remote "attractiveness" in him. After that he became a sales representative for NESPRESSO, which might have been his dream job all along.

James Franco. Cannot act his way out of a paperbag. Surprisingly good turns on the James Dean movie and 27 hours, perhaps because those required overacting or art performance rather than acting.

Angelina Jolie, Madonna etc

Ben Affleck! doucheness incarnated

The usual, Madonna Affleck Scarjo Goop Charlie Rose, on and on.

ME!!!! I love to write books about woman and how they should stand up for themselves and be paid what they are worth. Of course I did it the old fashioned way, divorced my first husband (entertainment industry professional of course) and had an affair with the fugly repug host of Morning Joe. Money talks bullshit walks.

Both of them.

"Dr." Phil "Dr." Oz "Dr." Drew

Affleck

Jolie

Ciccone

Swift

Clooney

Pratt (Seriously, did no one watch "Everwood," up from which he should never have risen?)

Jackson

Matt Lauer

Kanye...ugh

James Frey. I read "A Million Little Pieces" a few months before the scandal hit but I could tell it was fake. Double root canal the same day with no anesthesia? Give me a break.

Cole Sprouse

JT LeRoy. Before they even "uncovered" the truth.

Nicole Kidman from the first time I laid eyes on her back in 1983 in an horrendous film called Bush Christmas.

not a celebrity, but I've always thought that GLAAD was a waste of time and total circle jerk.

Why is Nicole Kidman full of shit?

Kamala Harris

Steve Harvey

Markle.

Bernie Sanders

RDJ

SMG!!!!

Nicole Kidman

ScarJo

Jennifer Lawrence

Chris Pratt

Anthony Bourdain: pretentious curmudgeon.

R144 I was wanted to adopt.

Luke Evans

Ivanka Trump. Back when Crazy ol Donald was just a candidate and not our actual president the media would not shut the fuck up about what a sophisticated, hardworking, beautiful, and intelligent woman she supposedly was. I heard even lefties claim that she would be a good influence on her father. I recognized that as a flaming heap of bullshit even then.

Chris Pratt is absolutely positioning himself to be the next Reagan. Schwarzenegger was educated (has a Masters, I believe), but Pratt married his way into a power family and will become the next moron Republicunt puppet in 2024 or something. I hope by then the country will have stomped the Rethuglicunts into the Stone Age till at least 2028. Hes already said he’s thought of running for public office.

Garrison Keillor, I always knew he was full of shit and not some folksy kind of guy.

The Clintons by a mile.

Rachel Maddow, cunt supreme.

Jay Leno is fake as fuck and I met him and confirmed it.

Jared Kushner. Met him when he first showed his smug face in New York. He was dating a very rich girl who lived at 740 Park Avenue. Her father hated the Kushners and made his daughter break up with him. Also, the Father had info that he was gay.

Louis CK

Not funny at all. Total creeper, didn't understand why so many "highbrow" types thought his whining was funny.

Amy Schumer and Busy Philipps.

Honorable mention: Miss Andy Cohen

Matt Damon.

Yes Busy Phillips!!! From the moment that girl showed up in Capeside I knew she was trouble!

Kellyanne

Agree with OP about Cosby. Always felt he was a phony shit.

R161 YES to Amy Schumer. Never could stand her.

R72. What’s wrong with Marcia Cross? Effectively letting people know she got cancer from her husband’s rimjobs is pretty non-fake

I liked Busy Phillips when she was doing the podcast We're No Doctors with Steve Agee but then she bailed on him when she got her show and apparently got pissy when people asked about the podcast.

Steve Irwin. Obnoxious buffoon who displayed no humility with wildlife. (“But my childhood!” Shut up, Millenial.)

We had an absolutely tasteless and hilarious thread here when Steve Irwin died.

Michael Moore

Patricia Arquette

[quote]"Dr." Phil "Dr." Oz "Dr." Drew

And, of course, "Dr." Laura.

Serena Williams.

Chris Cuomo

Blake Shelton.

R174 = drug cheat Maria Cuntapova

[quote]I’m calling it now: Tim O’Tay.

Prescient, if I do say so, given his current PR shitshow.

Trump

matt lauer

Oooh, good one, R180. He always had a cold reptilian look about him.

R181 I thought he always just looked kinda pervy and creepy.

Mia Farrow

Markle is transparent as a window, don’t know how people still defend her.

Jackson. I remember being so confused as to why people I knew were upset when he died.

Scarlett Johansson is talentless, a misogynist, dimwitted and not all that good looking.

I saw a Mel Gibson interview and was completely creeped out by his crazy eyes. He sounded manic or coked up and he reminded me so much of my father that I couldn’t watch Signs again without cringing. Then he went off the deep end and everyone was shocked...except me.

I was afraid of Michael Jackson at age five in 1984.

Also always creeped out by Tom Cruise to the point I would never watch any of his movies.

The fact that R23 thinks Keanu Reeves hasn’t aged well makes him a clueless cunt. x

Bradley Cooper. Okay, the rest of the world hasn't caught on to whatever it is that gives him the air of a serial killer, and even I don't know what it is that sets off my "Do not be alone in the elevator with this man" internal alarms.

But the man is as creepy as hell, and I'm calling it now. Something extremely nasty is going to come out some day.

It’s the eyes, R188.

Angelina. She is bat shit crazy as the day is long.

Insufferable attention seeker James Corden. One of those wankstains that’ll do anything for five minutes in the spotlight. x

[R98] Saintly Mother Theresa's foundation had millions, yet refused opioids to dying patients (cancer etc). "Here, an aspirin. Jesus suffered too." Was it Christopher Hitchens who wrote a book showing the truth about Mother Theresa and Gandhi (womanizer, hypocrite etc)?

Elon Musk: years ago he was on my shit list together with Jason Silva. Mindless, meaningless verbose word barfing. What I hated most about clowns like Elon is how much journalists and media adored him, no critical questions allowed.

Most annoying celebrity couple: Jay-Z and Beyonce. If I see them dry humping each other one more time on stage I'm calling Child Protective Services for their kids. Narcissistic pricks.

Chrissy Teigen: overrated, riding her husband's fame. Sandra Bullock: such a great actress, yet there's something wrong.

Michael Moore is so full of shit he's Morbidly Obese

[quote]Chrissy Teigen: overrated, riding her husband's fame

I agree with you, but her response to Cheetolini’s twitter tantrum yesterday was kind of fabulous.
