"Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry...

Billie Eilish

L*zzo

Just about every female in Hollywood under 40. They all stink.

Beanie Feldstein

Eric Balfour.

Eric Balfour? What has he done recently?

R5 has to be joking. Eric Balfour has been around for two decades and is basically a working actor. He's never been someone who has been in the major spotlight. I've always found him hot.

That woman that is shaped like a planet... Chrissy Metz

Black/queer artist Janelle Monae , she gets movie roles somehow, she opens the oscars,countless grammy performances etc and she still FLOPS!

All those vapid females who are only known for hooking up with or bearding for someone famous. All the Bieber exes, DiCaprio exes, Kylie Jenner's former BFF whose name I can't remember...

Hilary Duff and all those others who might have been midly relevant a decade ago, but whose only claim to fame these days are photos of them 'grabbing a juice', 'hitting the gym' or 'enjoying some quality time with the family'.

Jlaw was forced down our throats 8-9 years ago the way Harvey forced his tiny meat down her throat!!

*mildly relevant

r10 celebs never go away anymore. I hate that so much about our pop culture now. People who haven't done anything relevant or noteworthy in years are still all over the place.

Hailey Bieber

Kaia Gerber

Celebs that help fill that quota of “inclusivity” another one of those is Laverne Cox ,who can’t act for shit.

R13, I'm fine with it if it's someone who has pretty much reached icon status. People from my generation will always care about Britney Spears althought it's unlikely she'll ever release new music. If Madonna never goes on tour again, people will still be interested in her as a person. But Duff et al. are not remotely on that level.

Emily Estefan.

Rita Fucking Ora, though it seems they've cooled off, for one reason or another. They tried to make her happen here in the U.S. for YEARS, and failed. She appeared on EVERY red carpet. At EVERY party. Ultimately, the window of opportunity closed. I don't hear about her anymore. Thank God.

Every single one of them, no exceptions.

Chris Hemsworth

Beyond Thor he is never going to happen.

Adam don't hate me because I'm beautiful Driver.

I think Awkwafina is pretty damn funny, tbh.

But OP what youngish celebs haven't been forced down your throat?

Awkwafina was great in The Farewell, but she needs to get rid of the stupid rap moniker.

Geneviève Bujold

Janelle Monet. That oscars performance was whack.

Nicole Scherzinger or however you say her name. I’m in London and they’ve tried to make her a star here for years. She’s a marginally talented commercial strip act with tranny-like plastic surgery.

R26 poor Brits , she is a has been D lister here in the states

Zendaya, she is a cute mixed girl with a model figure and she has a good stylist but the girl is a mediocre shitty actress!

DL you are slipping. You didn't talk about Doja Cat.

List any of the reality majors (e.g. the Kardashian/Jenner whores), Jessie J., Cardi B., anyone and anything involving Ava Duvernay, Justin Bieber (still), and more that I'm sure I can't remember.

That being said, I like Akwafina.

Tovah Feldshuh

Meryl.

Natalie Portman owns this thread. Big movie after big movie after big movie. She ruins them all, but they keep bringing her back. The only good Thor movie was the one without her. But now, they’re bringing her back for Thor 4.

R18: Yes, they tried, but at least they tried because she was very successful in UK, it's not one of those case that an artist is pushed for no reason.

And Billie Eilish doesn't fit the mold neither. She is simply the new Lorde, she had a small fanbase and suddenly her career exploded with a big hit. That happens all the time. Now she is everywhere but we'll see what happens with her following album

Ronan Farrow

Tiffany Haddish?

However, I think it’s more the model of over-pushing actors. Agents aren’t able to navigate social media, small dedicated fan bases, and expectations for superstardom. They try the same “throw it all at a wall and see if it sticks” saturation for every actor and it exhausts the audience.

Janelle did have a bad Oscar performance, and she is a bit overexposed. But her early albums are still magnificent.

Well, Farrow is a totally different kind of celebrity, first he was famous for his parents, but lately he is everywhere due to a mix of controversy with Woody, and his own success. Anyway, he is a writer and journalist, so he will be in the spotlight sporadically.

Rihanna was everywhere some years ago. She released album after album and single after single. And she was everywhere on the press too, but now she seems to enjoy some time off the spotlight (at leat for a while)

A dreary parade of interchangeable doll faces

Timothee Chalamet

A lot of these names are just... popular.

I remember a few months ago when actual think pieces (!!!) were written about that Normani person on the basis of her hitting a basketball with her ass in a music video.

And then she flopped.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were everywhere during their fauxmance promoting their single. Then she flopped with her own singles and both seemed tired of faking so they chill out for a while.

There's a big difference between being very successful and so being everywhere and being overpromoted

r41 I agree and that was absolutely her own doing. When she was in fifth harmony she always faded into the background. When motivation came out, the song was catchy and the music video was an overload of early 2000s nostalgia. People were calling her the next Beyonce, but when I brought up the fact that she has always been lackluster up until this moment and this one flash in the pan was a fluke, I was labeled a racist. Cut to several disastrous live performances and failed marketing attempts to break through. That AT&T performance of hers was the last nail in her coffin.

Vivian Vance

R21 I stopped watching that divorce movie because I couldn’t bear to look at Adam Driver. A similarly ugly woman would never play the lead.

Normani - she was supposed to be the next Beyonce, according to her press - and ..nothing.

R43: She was at the right position to be very successful, her duets with Khalid and Sam Smith were hits but then she flopped.

She is one of those cases were she can sing and dance and she is even beautiful but lacks the charisma needed

Chrissy Teigen.

Eric Balfour has present dong explicitly, so nothing has been forced! R5 is demented.

I'd say the Hadid sisters and Olivia Culpo.

Oh, and Brooklyn Beckham!!!

Umm, you’re forgetting about any Kardashian and/or Jennner

R16 "snip" "people will still be interested in her as a person"

EXACTLY! Britney and Madonna have had interesting lives. When isn't someone asking what Brits mental state is now ? Love or hate them we will always be curious about them.

Chrissy Metz...the only reason we would bring her up in the future is to see if she's dead or got fatter

Chrissy Tiegan

I still can’t figure out what she does.

I love having Zac Ephron forced down my throat.

Ed Sheeran. He was on VH1 nonstop, until people gave up and bought his music.

r54 wins. Thread closed.

Priyanka Chopra Taylor Swift Emily Ratajkowski Elizabeth Hurley's bikinis

How many of the Jonas Brothers have been forced down your throat?

R58 forced? none Willing participant> 2

I have a video of Richard Madden being forced down my throat but I can’t share per our NDA.

Jordan Peele owns this thread.

Adam Driver looks like someone photoshopped the lower half of his jaw out of existence. He's very weird looking.

Phoebe Walker-Bridge

[quote]I love having Zac Ephron forced down my throat.

How does his mother Nora feel about that?

Bernie Sanders

That made me gag and not in a good way.

R23 I actually don't mind her as an actress, but I like to refer to her as "Awfulfina". It really does need to go. But perhaps that will happen when she decides to become a "serious actress".

R58 I'm a weird one. I prefer Kevin. But to answer your question: none. Yet.

r18, actually I never knew who she was till a couple of months ago and I love her. I'm wondering why she never made it big here. Yet you say she was forced upon us.

r23, Nora from Queens is fabulous. I want more Awkwafina.

r53, she is dj on Lipsync battle show.

Ru Paul

Miles Teller

R10 It's obvious that Duff pays paps to keep her name out there.

Meghan Fucking Markle

Paris Hilton.

Hillary Clinton. She lost 4 years ago, why is she still in the news?

R61 Really? I like Peele’s comedy work, although looks more natural in drag, for some reason. He’s spot-on when playing females.

r77 well because we have a president who brings her name up everytime he commits a crime (or one of his cronies is sentenced for a crime).

I love Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. Anything they do I will support, or at least be very curious about (didn't see "Us" because of the gore but am still cheering for his career). Those two are the epitome of Talent + Integrity + Consistency (x Time) = Earned Relevance

r80 - Jordan Peele's movies suck.

Adam Driver for the win. He's always brooding and takes himself so fucking seriously. He acts like he hates fame and that he's the next generation's DeNiro or Pacino.

I don't get it. I don't find his acting to be all that and his aggressively fugly face hurts my feelings.

The Royal Family (paying big $$ for PR in the U.S.)

Adam Driver (super ugly on screen/weird diva issues with watching himself/ugly voice)

Ben Affleck / Jennifer Garner (both are desperate)

Kylie Jenner (does no press but everything she posts on Instagram gets lots of coverage. I'm almost certain she's involved in some crazy effective witchcraft/law of attraction shit to get the attention she does so easily)

Billie Eilish (okay voice/okay song/still think she's being pimped out by her parents and brother)

I guess I haven't been paying attention. I barely know who most of these people are and have never heard of some of them.

Adam Driver himself right off a cliff.

I subscribe to the Vogue emails and delete all of them because they still are Kardashian’s constantly. I don’t get who in real life wants to see these people.

[quote] Hillary Clinton. She lost 4 years ago, why is she still in the news?

Because Trump and the Republicans won't shut the fuck up about her.

Joel Fucking McHale

Hillary releasing two books and a documentary aren’t exactly “I want to be alone!” evidence.

r89 Yeah but she is like Kathy Griffin now, she has zero fucks to give.

Jordan Peele is a competent director who makes what are essentially B horror movies. Nothing more. But he's being treated as if he's Hitchcock, which is ridiculous.

Another one for Lizzo. She is repulsive.

Iennifer Cuntiston owns this thread. Playing the same role for 25 years and she wasn’t even any good at it then. Any man who would waste time with her is either a simp or a cuck.

And Alyssa Milano Cookies subleases it. She can’t act either, she’s not even smart enough to beat Ted freaking Cruz in a debate, and even her fellow #MeToo members called her out as a phony.

Will Smith’s kids. Especially the gay one.

Pete Davidson? That fugly kid from SNL.

Madonna. She was famous a long time ago but not anymore. They need to stop trying To make it happen again.

Or a beard 93

Britney Spears was always a talentless hack. Disney should rue the day they made Mouseketeers out of her and Miss Justine.

I agree Britney had no talent, but she did have the IT factor. I think her fame was rather organic. Not a fan, but she was hard not to watch.

When I heard my little sister singing that horrible song “Hit Me Baby One More Time,“ it fucking sickened me. They were trying to normalize domestic violence!

And I’m still waiting for evidence that Candace Cameron Bure can act.

R21 If he wasn't such an arrogant asshole I might think he was halfway attra... 🤣

I can't say that with a straight face. But his asinine attitude isn't helping, and you're absolutely right. They're testing the limits of what this country will take. Adam Driver is beyond that. Well beyond that.

R100, second Candace Cameron. How the hell did she get a major endorsement deal? Wasn't it bad enough we had to endure her the FIRST go round on Full House? Now a second?

Adding John Legend, tired of his mug and Chrissy's. He's talented but he needs to go away.

R102 What major deal?

Most of us don't follow the bigot on social media so please be more specific.

Starkist tuna/chicken. Major-ish.

Pete Davidson is a head-scratcher. Fugly, untalented, can’t stay in character - there must be some kind of nepotism or blackmail that got him on SNL. It’s hard to believe that being a 9-11 orphan is the reason he was cast, but who knows? Only L.M.

I don't watch TV or listen to current music, so the one I don't get is Jessica Chastain. She has starred in flop after flop after flop; she's this era's Hilary Swank. Audiences absolutely are not interested in either of these actresses, but TPTB keep putting them in movies...and losing money as a result.

LOL at the eldergays that are all "Anyone who made music, films or TV after 1990 is sooooooohorrible!"

Ricky Gervais and Mindy Khaling

The Beibers

Jlo

The Hadid twats

None of these people are forced down anyone's throat. No one is forcing you to watch their shows or movies or listen to their music

This is just a thread for people to name celebrities they don't like, even genuinely successful ones

It's DLers who are trying to shove Lizzo and Chrissy Metz down our throats by CONSTANTLY posting about them. Seriously, why are DLers obsessed with these two? Because they're fat? I don't get it.

r102 wasnt Candace on the view?

R112 she was, I had forgotten.

Beyoncé.

I retract my Pete Davidson theories... someone in-the-know has said it’s because he’s awkward and charming, “like a fan pulled out of the audience and given the chance to be on the show.” I still do not see the appeal of this gimmick. Annoying!

[quote] How many of the Jonas Brothers have been forced down your throat?

All of them in my fantasies.

R114, she's been famous for 20 years. Try again.

Spouses and Children of Celebrities

Hilaria Baldwin

Amal Clooney

Meghan McCain

Spawn of Will & Jada

The whole rotten, talentless Lardashian brood and associated ex- and future-ex-spouses and camp followers.

Yeah, I know they've been around for ages now, but the way they were fed to the public until the billions started pouring in is a textbook case of what happens when prospective profits, loose and ready cunts and concrete-thinking Transcaucasian cunning come together.

Mama Jolie would weep in envy at what her schemes of "being famous for being famous" for herself and her girls metastasized into.

Donald Trump

He was a media-fed circus act.

Totie Fields

Harry and meghan. Hear me out. The public and media are against them and calling out this so called bullying but hollywood seems to be starting the is civil war against will and Kate. Just go on social media. Jamil is a cunt and shes just one example of celebs and American outlets and other verified twitter accounts, that in defending Harry and meghan seem to make passive aggressive subtle digs against the Cambridges. It seems calling out meghan and Harry is wrong but saying nasty things about will and Kate and demeaning and disrespecting them is welcomed.

Jordan Peele is overrated. Both Get Out and Us are flimsy, would work better as hour long episodes of an anthology show than they do as feature-length films. It's no surprise that he's now producing a version of The Twilight Zone.

R86 I have never met a single person who likes them, but know tons that hate them.

R93 wins.

Jennifer fucking Aniston has been shoved down our throats for over 25 years, and I STILL hate her fucking guts!!!!!

I wish someone would shoot her in a fucking rocket, into outer space.

Well r111 you could say the same thing about the Kardashians. For a long time now any reason to bring them up and some asshole would throw their name out there. The only time I'd hear about them is when I would come here and it was relentless much the same way there are those who look for any reason to bring up Meghan Markle. I wouldn't hear about the bitch it it weren't for the crazies who can't stop talking about them.

"Awkwafina" is the most fucking annoying of them ALL. Especially the idiotic spelling of the name.

Someone dump her in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and let her swim back.

Lens Dunham. I fucking swear.

Kelly Clarkson

R81 I'm thinking way more of the comedy series "Key & Peele." It was so consistently funny and sharp over however many seasons. I will always be grateful for the humorous people.

it will take some mighty big throats to accommodate some of these plus sized women.

Pete Davidson is hot and his Netflix special was funny. Sorry, oldies.

Another vote for Janelle Monae. Name ONE of her songs.

Billie Eilish and her brother are as manufactured as the Monkees were.

Megan Thee Stallion, another vulgar, titty-baring, Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj/Cardi B clone.

R133 Actually, Mike wrote songs; Peter played banjo; Davy and Mickey could sing in pitch... by today’s standards, they are the freakin’ Beatles.

R24 I loved Bujold. She was in great films and I wonder what became of her.

Whomever that woman is who was in the Pepsi commercial with Steve Carrell. She rolled her rrrrr's and then tried to copyright it! She's one of those big-titted, curly fingernailed, over-eyeshadowed bitches. No idea if she's a singer/actress/influencer. Hope she's enjoying her 15 minutes of fame before she's replaced by some other cunt.

r137 --- that would be the aforementioned "singer", Cardi B; perfect description, by the way.

I WISH that Ansel Elgort was being forced down my throat.

Rula Lenska

Celebrities who are somebody's wife, as others have said. Pan-faced Chrissy Teigen is everywhere these days because she's basically John Legend's wife.

Jon Hamm. Does bomb after bomb. Lies about his height and drinking. Ass kissing phoney jerk.

Post Malone

Bhad Bhabie (please make her go away!)

Jonah Hill

[Quote] Rebel Wilson

Is she really being forced?? Because she's just done a show here in Aus called Pooch Perfect.

[Quote] Eric Balfour? What has he done recently?

He's currently doing the Charmed reboot.

[Quote] Hilary Duff and all those others who might have been midly relevant a decade ago, but whose only claim to fame these days are photos of them 'grabbing a juice', 'hitting the gym' or 'enjoying some quality time with the family'.

She's on Younger and supposed to be doing a Lizzie McGuire reboot.

[Quote] Another vote for Janelle Monae. Name ONE of her songs.

Tightrope.

The Hemsworth brothers.

r134 Add Doja Cat to that list

STOP TALKING ABOUT MY PENIS!

I'm a SERIOUS ACTOR!

All the black and Asian ones

R144 you expect the average person to know what the heck a song named tightrope is?

Keanu Peeves forcing thAt old woman down our throats as his future wife. That is simply ridiculous. Out him, David.

R149 that was her first big hit.

R125 calm down Heroina whorelie!! Maniston was only pushed by hollywood after a HIT tv show where she was the breakout star and the most likeable character after years of flops (anyone remember the Ferris Bueller tv series?) Her push seemed organic due to her success and fan base and not an instant push AND forced like some of these “celebs”!

R117, because she’s been forced down our throats. No one can criticize her without getting dragged for doing so...does everyone have to like her?

R152 is a paid shill and a misogynist. Angelina Jolie is an Oscar-winner and a humanitarian. Jennifer Cuntiston is a talentless hack and a horrible actress, and that shitty show is the single worst TV show in history. Her character is an offensive stereotype of Jewish women. Only racists watched it. Those other flop shows flopped because she was on it. This deserved the same fate. It deserves to be pulled from reruns forever.

Anyone who is not a white male does not deserve to breath, much less deserve to have a career in entertainment.

R148 is a racist and racist hate speech is incitement to violence.

[italic]F(r)iends[/italic] is a stupid, racist, sexist, antisemitic, homophobic, and painfully unfunny show. You’re a bad person if you don’t hate it and if you don’t demand its withdrawal from circulation. Warner Bros. already pulled 11 Looney Tunes cartoons for racism before I was even born, yet this glorified Nazi propaganda they shove in your face at every goddamn turn? That fucking man-stealing whore is white privilege, gentile privilege, and heterosexual privilege personified. Spare me the “don’t like it, don’t watch it” crap. Being subjected to any content related to this constitutes a form of assault.

The same production company enabled Jerk KKKameron to have a career.

Oh, and by the way, pushing the WW button 11 times proves what a pathetic loser you are.

Megan and Harry, who have no relevance whatsoever.

Nick Cannon -

And calling Angelina a heroin addict is hypocritical beyond belief when Cuntiston couldn’t pass a pee test if her life depended on it.

Lilly Singh epitomes this, but it looks like her career is in the early stages of necrosis, thank god. I believe she had to hire homeless people as audience members for her abominable talk show. Sucking an uncut 80-year-old for pay is better than having to go through THAT ordeal.

R153, you're criticizing her right now. No one forced you to listen to her. You can criticize her, and people can criticize you for criticizing her. That's how freedom of speech works.

[quote] Pete Davidson is hot and his Netflix special was funny. Sorry, oldies.

Pete Davidson is ugly.

I’d love to see the ***sexiest*** pic of Pete Davidson that you fangirls can show me. Change my mind!.

How is this pic of Pete - do anything for you?

R140 I thought Rula Lenska was the name of the ventriloquist's puppet in the Alfred Hitchcock episode starring Claude Raines! Now I'm going to have to spend/waste time googling down the rabbit hole...

R157 I need clarification. Who is the 'man stealer'? I am NOT being facetious, I'm just slow.

R167 Sorry. Prove that's Pete.

R167 I see thigh meat, a tan, and no tattoos. -5/10

Nice penis, but the face and body it’s attached to is unfortunate. Like Nappa leather in a Yugo...

R167 Thank you for the great pic but no way is that Pete.

Another vote for Beyoncé. Yes, she's a real star and somewhat talented, BUT she's not the goddess people make her out to be. It's nauseating how the media and other celebrities suck up to her. I always cringe when someone goes on a talkshow and talks about meeting her and being soooo starstruck and excited. 'LIKE, MY KNEES MELTED AND I COULD BARELY BREATHE! THIS WAS FUCKING QUEEN BEY, RIGHT THERE!!! BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!'

It's the same with Taylor Swift. Not a pseudo-celebrity, but so fucking overhyped.

R174 Yes, fan reaction for Beyoncé reminds me of the old fan reaction for Madonna. Except Madonna really had talent in the beginning.

r157 the three creators of "Friends" are all Jewish

If you look on the Daily Mail, right column (in desktop mode), those articles are all about really marginal "stars." Those articles must be pure PR.

R175, Beyonce can sing circles around Madonna, and Madonna would probably be the first to admit that

Beyoncé has a so-so voice. You don’t have to be a great singer to have hit records - duh

So is Harvey Weinstein, R179. What's your point when they're so assimilated that they look like Donny and Marie compared to [italic]Seinfeld[/italic] and [italic]The Nanny[/italic]?

That was actually for R176. You can't cough in Hollywood without hitting a Jewish person., Those just happened to be the least talented. They make Sherwood Schwartz (also a Jew) look like William Shakespeare (not a Jew but probably bisexual).

R180 / R181 I'm lost. No idea what you're going on about but I can tell you're upset. If you want to calm down and try again, I'd be happy to listen.

The show is crap. Stop defending it.

Michael Strahan. Why is he on so many shows...can he go away already.

Sam Smith. Who cares about this wailing banshee or how HE manages to be so self-pitying and so self-aggrandizing at the same time?

Madonna's best talent was being ahead of her time and being surrounded by the best producers.

He lost that some time ago, when her songs seemed made for Hanna Montana (Give me all your loving), She should stop trying to be relevant and simply make good music no matter if it sells or not.

Beyonce is a pretty good singer (she is not Whitney Houston but she is good) and she has star quality (even if you don't like her music it's impossible to not watch when she is performing), but she is overhyped and overrated.

R185: Sam can be very annoying. He always finds something new to come out every few months. Suddenly mainstream embraces an openly gay singer and has to be him.

He doesn't seem a bad guy and he can sing but he (or they, it's still they or not) is very tiresome

Harry Styles.

Hate Styles. Hate him. Plus people say that he smells bad...like ass and cigarettes.🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢

The qualifications for celebrity have gotten awfully dumbed down since 1994.

So tired of RDJ. King of all Marvel films. Such an inspiration to all mankind. He's becoming arrogant greedy self-involved jerk.

After what that homophobic nigger Jimmie Walker said, I never want to see another nigger again.

Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren Joe Biden

Oh, did you hear that Biden pulled out of the race, and endorsed himself?

Dua Lipa.

Dua Lipa SUCKS. Awful, shit songs.

[Quote] He's becoming arrogant greedy self-involved jerk.

He wasn't like that before going to jail??

R195 99 percent of the US general public does not know who the fuck that no talent bitch Dua lipa is though or could pick her out of a lineup of generic brunettes with tranny makeup , which is good and how it should stay!!.

Kegan Keller

This Dua Lipa song plays at my gym every day. Hopefully she will go back to obscurity soon.

New Rules is the only song I like.

Chalamet. He's not that attractive and his acting isn't all that.

Like the Hemsworth Brothers, Margot Robbie is a mediocre soap star who came to America and somehow managed to get an A-list career.

Lisa Minouli. They say she's supposed to become a big star cause she's got famous folks!

Beyonce owns this thread. She's an OK singer, not great. But every time she takes a shit, the entire media world comes on en force to tell us how major and groundbreaking she is. And now she is shoving her spawn down our throats.

Whoa, R163. Lily is pretty innocuous and keeps her show light and politics-free. Give her a break; she’s cute.

Please press stop with articles about narcissistic Meghan and pussy whipped Harry. This nobody's handlers try to make sure she can upstage the Royals somehow. Didn't she just up pull one on Camilla at the theatre? Check out her stomach, she looks pg again, is that the next so called surprise? Does Archie have some sort of impediment, is that why they keep him hid? In his pics his eyes look crossed.

The press needs to do background on the black members of her family if they want more stories. Has her mother been to jail, is that why she was raised by her father during her teenage years?

r9 She’s amazingly talented

r206 Racist like you are the only ones obsessed with her. It’s deranged

r204 Is there any Black woman in datalounge’s opinion that deserves admiration for her talent?

R205 I agree the biggest thing going for Singh is her looks, but at 31 she’s lost her cuteness and is in MILF territory now, which will last another 9 years at most. After that, she’ll have to find other uses for her grating voice - like selling adult diapers with a patented shield to prevent long, extraordinarily beautiful hair from getting caught in one’s butt-crack.

That HIDEOUS Pakistani guy with the pinched face and the eyebrows. He recently did a couple of cycles of steroids and the media coverage was off the charts. I think sometimes the media collectively feels the need to hype up someone from a specific demographic and settle on mind-numbingly mediocre nothings (see: Beyoncé).

Omg.

R197: Dua Lipa is right now at number 5 on the billboard hot 100, and this is not her first hit.

And straight guys love her, she has amazing legs

The term "frau" is much celebrated here and I feel it's forced down our throats.

Oh, by the entertainment industry? Whoops.

R202 it didn't happen overnight. But you can blame Leo since he picked her for Wolf Of Wall Street.

The Willis/Moore daughters.

Timothee Weak Chin Chalamet owns this thread.

Guess 209 missed the Ella Fitzgerald thread

r218 If you have to go back 80 years, it doesn’t fucking count. Yes, yes you like the old Negro hymns but every single Black famous born after 1960 seems deplorable and unworthy in datalounge’s eyes.

R213, straight guys don't know who Dua Lipa is

R211 = racist. Beyonce has tons of fans and has been famous for 20 years. It's not media hype.

Of course. Anyone who doesn't thank god every day for being allowed to share a planet with Beyonce is a racist.

People who think someone with tons of fans who has been famous for 20 is just a product of media hype are racist

Madonna

Timothee Chalamet and Billie Eilish

... Timothee Chalamet and Billie Eilish are twice the annoyance just from the sound of their stupid names

R220: Straight guys love Dua Lipa, or at least does my straight coworker. She is hhot and that's enough for them

Tim O Tay Chalamet. Overrated beyond belief.

Get real. A LOT of people have been famous for a long time and don't get 1/100 of the media adulation that Beyonce does. If you don't think that some of her fame is a product of media hype you must be living under a rock.

Billie Eilish

Dua Lipa has that affected Amy Winehouse voice (minus the soul) that a zillion other female vocalists imitate nowadays. Just another hot-but-bland woman coached and auto-tuned to sound like she smokes cigars and shoots heroin. ***Yawn***

"A LOT of people have been famous for a long time and don't get 1/100 of the media adulation that Beyonce does. If you don't think that some of her fame is a product of media hype you must be living under a rock."

The thread is about "celebrities" - she's a legit celebrity. Does not qualify for this thread.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

“How dare you say I don’t like Black stars??!!!” Proceeds to list negroes that have been dead for a 1000 years.

- Datalonguer

Affleck looked and acted whacked out on Kimmel last week. His eyes are radically different in appearance (plastic surgery?) and in soul (dead).

Ben Affleck is legitimately famous. He has been a star for 20 years, won an Oscar, and has had many hits. You guys are just naming people you don't like (Affleck, Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence). Stick with the Rita Ora's of the world.

R234 Ben Affleck's face has gotten puffy which has made his eyes look smaller.

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Meryl Streep. Laura Dern. Scarlett Johannson. Soirse Irish girl.

Amy Schumer

Once again, people naming legitimately famous people they don't like.

Fat people as diversity.

Yeah, maybe 1% of actors are fat versus like 70% of the general population

Reese Chin Up Witherspoon owns this thread. She has no range/versatility and has to cast herself in every single thing she produces.

Adam Driver. Ugly and has no charisma. I just don't get it.

At the moment, I'm gonna go with Chalamet. Overrated and overused.

R226 get real no one knows who this bitch is, she is just radio fodder being shoved down our throats by her label! At a hair salon someone asked who sang her song and no one knew and finally some girl said gigi hadids brother’s girlfriend.......

R231: That doesn't change anything. She is famous for herself and nobody denies she is talented (and she even has that it factor that makes you watch her perform even if you don't like her), but some of her albums are pretty bad and people react outraged if she doesn't receive album of the year at the Grammys.

And if you have the bad sense to tell you don't like her music on twitter prepare yourself to be trashed

Cara Delevingne....who told this bitch she can act ?

With Beyonce most non black people overpraise (and over fawn) her like she is some deity because they don’t want to be seen as racist. Everyone knows you can’t say anything remotely negative about that woman without being labeled a kkk member by her deranged fans.

Truthfully most people can’t even name one of her songs in the past decade.

I know this is just supposed to be celebrities. But how about celebrities with their political issues. I don't care what some rich alcoholic overrated actor is supporting and don't want to know.

R248 is silly and plays the race card while accusing others of doing the same. You claim that people aren't allowed to criticize her....while criticizing her. You don't want people to call you a racist but then claim she only gets praise because she's black which is stupid. There are just as many failed black singers as white ones.

The Brady Bunch.

[quote] Ben Affleck is legitimately famous.

Not only that, he is an accomplished director. So why do he and his handlers feel the need to force him down our throats every week in pap shots in the Daily Mail? We see Ben going to get coffee, going to church, going to children's soccer games, and most recently "romancing" a girl half his age. Why? Like you said, he is legitimately famous.

R4 - I like Beanie Feldstein. At least she has talent. I saw her in Hello Dolly two years ago and she was great.

Being forced down our throats: Lena Waithe, Rachel Zoe, John Legend & Chrissy Teigen

John Legend is talented, has had hits, and has been famous for over a decade. Are you a butthurt Republican who is pissed because he made fun of Trump?

Tina Fey, Jenn and Brad, Jon Hamm, Lady Gaga.

r254 not everyfuckingthing is about Trump. God, I hate posters like you.

This would be fun if people actually stuck to the topic instead of just listing ANY celeb they don't like

The website was hacked by a couple of Nigerian bodybuilders.

^^^ My bad...that was for the Corey Feldman thread!

Jennifer Aniston is so boring and average looking.

[quote] Tina Fey

I can't stand that thin-lipped bitch.

R228 Her fame is obviously media hype, but I don't get how it happened. With other overhyped celebs, I understand how it happened. She was around for a while, then suddenly everyone loved her and considered her the greatest singer of all time.

[quote]Ben Affleck is legitimately famous.

Only because he has been forced down our throats by the entertainment industry for decades. I have never enjoyed a picture he was in. He stands out because he looks and acts as if he doesn't belong there. I cannot see him as any character other than Ben Affleck.

Oh, well. At least you didn't say "legit famous."

Ben Affleck plays Ben Affleck in every single goddamn role. He's been in some good movies, too, and it's too bad a more competent actor wasn't cast instead. Gone Baby Gone, Gone Girl, or State of Play would've been better with someone else.

R263 not even Dazed and Confused?

Beyoncé hate is boring at this point. The people that resent her are more obsessed than the stans. White people love yo shout to the rooftops that she’s overrated and sucks so I have no idea what that other poster was talking about. Are you also fond of reddit? If you call her overrated, people will cheer and put you on the front page. Anyone who is a fan of R&B can certainly name Beyoncé’s songs in the last 19 years. I wouldn’t expect Datalongue to know about modern R&B because the only Black people you like have been dead for the last century.

R206 = parents were brother and sister.

R265, I noticed how inadequate Ben Affleck was even before Dazed and Confused, when he played a high school footballer in the short-lived NBC dramedy, Against the Grain. I was home the Friday night the pilot aired and my thinking went "Can't act...isn't even good-looking." I do not recall if I made it to the end of the episode, but I never watched it again. The writing wasn't stellar, either.

I don't think I noticed him again until Good Will Hunting (I didn't see Dazed and Confused until years later). I don't remember when I realized this now-famous actor was the kid from the bad football show.

None of these people are overrated. They have obvious mass appeal and success. You're just sick of them or straight up jealous.

I still remember Ben Affleck from The Voyage of the Mimi!

Greta Gerwig. Mediocre director but it's a grave injustice whenever she is snubbed at an awards show.

Floyd. My cat.

Nicole Kidman. She would rather work full time than spend time with her kids.

Jessica Alba

Not a good actress, never been in a hit movie, not very intelligent, yet she gets lots of press coverage for not doing much.

Ben Platt

Kate Hudson. She's in lots of formulaic romantic comedies, lots of press for keeping for dating different guys, and lots of magazine covers for working out But I don't know that anyone rushes out to see a movie because Kate Hudson's in it.

Every couple of years, Tom Cruise qualifies for this list. Whenever he has a new movie out, the entertainment industry inundates magazines, the news, radio and movie trailers with Tom Cruise.

Octavia Spencer, the "serious actress."

OS has been nominated for 3 Academy Awards, winning 1...If shes being shoved down your throat, its for a reason.

Are we just naming any Black woman now?

I like Normani. Never seen her live performances. But love Diamonds- great, catchy song with Megan thee Stallion.

This title goes to Chalameh. He can't act and is homely but his team will market him as the next DiCaprio till the day they die.

I see what you did r282...ChalaMEH. 🤭

R278 I loved her in "Ma."

Timothee “I buy Instagram followers” Chalamet.

R284 she was great in Ma.

Timothee Chalamet. I have a feeling he buys Instagram likes and followers.

Kylie Jenner

The Hadid girls.

Margot Robbie - OK but way too overrated, a number of other actresses of her generation who are better

Dua Lipa (like Rita Ora, my theory is that the Albanian mafia is really pushing her career)

Billie Eilish - she, or, rather, her focus group, better push out Album #2 soon because that schtick will get tired pretty soon.

Chris Pratt

Shawn Mendes

[Quote] I have a feeling he buys Instagram likes and followers.

Lots of celebrities do that though.

Timmy can buy my likes. Does he pay in penis?

I know what you mean about Margot Robbie. Eventually the hype will die down and a new it girl will replace her. Looks like it’s going to be Ana de Armas

Most of the celebs covered by the DailyMail Showbiz section

r287 you seem kind of obsessed, just a tad with Timothee Chalamet and his number of followers. Here are your posts. Are you ok?:

"Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Chalamet. He's not that attractive and his acting isn't all that. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Like the Hemsworth Brothers, Margot Robbie is a mediocre soap star who came to America and somehow managed to get an A-list career. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Timothee Weak Chin Chalamet owns this thread. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Tim O Tay Chalamet. Overrated beyond belief. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Reese Chin Up Witherspoon owns this thread. She has no range/versatility and has to cast herself in every single thing she produces. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Adam Driver. Ugly and has no charisma. I just don't get it. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... At the moment, I'm gonna go with Chalamet. Overrated and overused. "Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry... Greta Gerwig. Mediocre director but it's a grave injustice whenever she is snubbed at an awards show.

Are you paid per hate post or just extremely jealous?

Trump. He is disgusting.

Trump. He is disgusting.

R293: I thought this was a free county with free speech.

Reese Witherspoon. She produces like fifty shows and has to cast herself in most of them.

r296 this is the internet. not one country. and we are all entitled to be as crazy and jealous as we like. did he steal your date? why are you so obsessed with him and his follower count?

R296 also , why repeat it? are you hoping people won't know it's you?

R298: Oh excuse me it’s the Internet not a country. Yeah you know everything, you’re the moral police. I have the right to say whatever I want but I won’t post anymore replies on this thread. Don’t want to make you angry.

R300 Feel free to do what you want. Just wondering what motivated you. 300 replies is probably enough though so I agree with your decision to stop posting the same thing over and over. Good luck.

R301: I did not post 300 replies.

R302 it was a joke. It just felt like 300. I copied all your posts saying relatively the same thing about him so I know and everybody else here knows how many times you relied.

Kaitlyn Dever

"Celebrities" being forced down our throats by the entertainment industry...…

Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Lopez. I feel inundated with information about her, some of it contrary. Everywhere she goes, everything she does, everyone she meets.

We know Jennifer Lopez is 50, but her team wants us to get on the wagon and say how much younger she seems. We know Jennifer dances with a pole in that stripper movie, but her team wants us to appreciate her as a serious craft actress. We know Jennifer is upset / disappointed about not being nominated, but we know her team wants us to think awards don't matter to us. We know Jennifer is stable mother, but we know her team wants us to see her out on glamorous dates. We know Jennifer is glamorous, but when she's advertising for ATT, SPRINT, MACY's or some other brand her team wants us to see her as approachable and cost conscious. We've seen her at the Superbowl lip synching and forgetting her words, but her team wants us to see her as a captivating entertainer.

R305, you should probably stop stalking Jennifer Lopez.

Beanie Feldstein

LOL R306. I don't need to stalk her, her image appears in more places than one would expect.

Ansel Elgort

R307 When? For most people Benie is just Ben Platt's bestie. She seems to be a good actress but till now her career was pretty low key

R310 right? I didn't know who she was until Lady Bird came out.

Whomever upthread that said, all the ones featured in the daily mail, have my vote. Katie Holmes is featured almost every fucking day. Who the hell wants daily updates of Katie Holmes going to get coffee or walking her kid to school?

R312: But the question is, do she really wants to be everyday on the Daily Mail? Because frankly that doesn't seem good for her career at all

R31 Tovah EARNED worldwide superstardom for her sizzling sexual chemistry with Dan Haggerty.

R31 and R314, as for Tovah, I remember as a kid seeing commercials on television and posters advertising "Tovah Feldshuh" in SARAVA, and in LEND ME A TENOR, and I would think "who is that? why is she so famous?"

Then I saw her in a lousy gay -themed pseudo comedy called "FRIENDS AND FAMILY" awful. awful. The only other times I've seen Tovah in anything has been as a guest character actress in CRAZY EX GIRLFRIEND. Not certain why she's so celebrated.

Emma Stone. Ok but way too overrated. There are other actresses in her generation that are way better.

I think Jesse Buckley is a much better thespian than Saoirse Ronan and is better at accents too.

Bob Dylan --- there's a new Bob Dylan musical opening on Broadway. Not certain anyone needed this.

Local independent radio stations and classic rock stations love forcing his music on us.

Hollywood loves making movies about Bob Dylan whether anyone wants to see them or not, Hollywood studios keep cranking them out and awarding Bob Dylan more accolades, even when he completely avoids them.

That Lena Waithe guy. I saw he/she pop up on west world and rolled my eyes

Jessica Chastain. Something about her annoys me.

Lena Waite looks repulsive.

Billie Eilish

Gwyneth Paltrow and her snake oil

Various offspring of celebrities (Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Johnny Depp’s daughter)

The Kardashians (obviously)

Oh, agree about Saorise Ronan. And Greta Gerwig. She makes me long for Lens.

Lily Collins

Awful Actress and Nepotism to boot

Lily Rose Neppotism.

Beyonce

Talentless Fat Hack

Overhyped

Agree with the other posters on Jessica Alba.

Mean.

Sneaky.

Liar (Look up the history and lawsuits of the IRONICALLY named Honest Company).

Horrible Actor.

The Daily Mail would you have you believe that Bella Thorne and Emily Rajat- the one with the tits in the Robin Thick video- are fascinating stars.

Another one they’re trying to make happen: Sophie Turner. I loved GOT and she’s very pretty but neither interesting nor a particularly good actor. Surprised she was the “break out” star of the show.

You all hate Black women so much

You all hate Black women so much

r326 She’s not fat nor is she a hack. She has a multi decade successful career. Get AIDS faggot

To me, the current leader if force feeding is Billie Eilish.

I don't feel like Awkwafina is being pushed - I'd argue Constance Wu is being pushed a lot harder (and has a lot less appeal).

Definitely Billy Porter.

Beyonce already made it over the line a long time ago, so doesn't need to be forced down anyone's throats anymore.

Margot Robbie - she's fine, but not nearly as fantastic as her publicists would have us believe.

Ariana Grande - talk about forcing stuff on the public.

Adam Drive AND Ezra Miller - they're essentially the same person, aren't they? It seems like they're just hoping one of them sticks.

R331 is further proof that Bey Stans are fucking insane. There are tons of black female singers way more talented than that overhyped wig.

[quote][R326] She’s not fat nor is she a hack. She has a multi decade successful career. Get AIDS faggot

Have you ever heard heard speak? Beyoncé speaks like an illiterate 3rd grader. Can’t speak nor sing.

And yes she is FAT. And unattractive. Her heft combined with over-the-top “fashions”, fake hair , plastic surgery and skin lightening are gross. An American embarrassment.

Oh, and as R333 states, R331 has lost the argument and further right for DL interactions when R331 resorts to petty insults to defend or justify their perceptions.

[quote]Jordan Peele is overrated. Both Get Out and Us are flimsy, would work better as hour long episodes of an anthology show than they do as feature-length films. It's no surprise that he's now producing a version of The Twilight Zone.

I liked Get Out, but Us was awful.

[quote] I don't feel like Awkwafina is being pushed - I'd argue Constance Wu is being pushed a lot harder (and has a lot less appeal).

^^^^THIS

Just watched Wu in Crazy Rich Asians. Also saw her recently in her J-Lo movie.

Constance is an AWFUL actress. Where did anyone come up with her? WHY is she getting lead roles??

R336 I think Wu has a short window of time for lead roles in movies Her rant against ABC and Fresh Off The Boat turned some people off in the business.

^^^ She's also 38. She plays the mother of older teens in Fresh of the Boat.

She simply doesn't have the window to play the young ingenue.

I'd also add Henry Golding to the force feeding list.

He's handsome enough, "but not handsome enough to tempt me."

It's like they think he's the only hot asian male and need to prove how woke they are.

Henry Golding

Phoebe Waller Bridge

Margot Robbie

Ansel Elgort

T. Chalamet is not nearly as fantastic as his publicists would have us believe.

I think Margaret Qualley will end up being forced down our throats in a year or two.

Adam Driver

Margaret Qualley (textbook nepotism)

Beanie Feldstein

Greta Gerwig

Beanie Feldstein also benefits from nepotism.

Rita Ora Sam Smith Demi Lovato

How could none of you mention Elgot (or whatever his name is) ? The star of Babydriver. I guess he is OK but does this guy pass for sexy? Not to me. Why the fuck don't these people change their names? Like Buttijudge...I mean seriously!

Kevin Hart & those FUCKING COMMERCIALS!!! I know, I know, push the goddamn television 📺 out of your 50 story window!

^ Covid 19 level toxicity ^

[quote]How could none of you mention Elgot (or whatever his name is) ?

You mean, like r340 did - just a few scant replies before you went on your deranged and unhinged tirade?

R334 you lost me after [italic] fat and unattractive [/italic].

It took a global pandemic for Billie Eilish to go away.

Somebody mentioned Elgort a lot but it's true. They keep casting him in lead roles in the hopes that it will eventually stick. The Goldfinch is proof that he can't put asses in seats.

Paris and Dylan Brosnan. There's no way they'd be models without daddy.

Shawn Mendes

Katherine Langford

Laura Dern

Laura Dern has been around for DECADES....she hardly counts

Adam Driver. My God we could use a break from him.

Often it seems to me that the celebrities that are being overexposed are overrated or have little appeal.

That fucking Awkwafina is dreadful. I tried one episode of her crap show to see BD play straight but cannot go back and see another.

R360: More often than not, overexposure can hurt a career. Most actors don't have enduring popularity. In this industry, one minute you can be on top of the world and the next you're yesterday's news.

Dua Lipa. When was the last time you saw TV ads for albums, even on entertainment/pop culture themed channels? I saw an ad for her new album on HGTV yesterday.

Orlando Bloom owns this thread.

I know he made an impression in Lord of the Rings nearly twenty years ago but nothing he has done since it memorable and he is one of the worst actors ever captured on film. But the press and entertainment industry keeping shoving him down the publics throats.

Isn’t that why he let all those nudes “leak”. To bolster his name?

In Hollywood, you’re the flavor of the month until someone new or hotter comes along and replaces you.

Kaitlyn Dever

Armie Hammer. They’re still trying to make him happen. After failing to get the clearly closeted actor nominated in another gay movie where he just needed to coattail off the movie’s momentum they turned towards a baity and relevant character (Marty Ginsburg) and he didn’t even get a look in because his acting is just that appalling. But they continue to push him on the public.

John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt

NICK CANNON

John Krasinksi and his stupid youtube show that gets really low views (thankfully). Also resent how he said he was into horror before he did his "horror film," which was obviously a cash grab. I actually like Emily Blunt and hope she divorces him.

Chrissy Teigen (queen of Yahoo.com homepage)

AMY SCHUMER

Amy Schumer appears to be over, thankfully. God, talk about a one-trick pony. If you heard five minutes of her act, you heard it all.

She has a new show on the Food Network

Emma Stone

Hairy Baldwin - Bieber

^^ oops

Hailey Baldwin Bieber

Beethovan

I liked Veronica Mars and don't begrudge her the Frozen success, but Kristen Bell has become totally insufferable. She's now exceeded the level of Chrissy Teigen oversharing smug obnoxiousness.

Elle Fanning

I watched the Malificent sequel the other day (terrible) - Elle didn't mature into a beautiful woman. Not as bad as Dakota, but still something a bit off.

Brad Pitt was forced down my throat once. Great night!

A much shorter, tidier list would be of the actors who are NOT forced on us despite being talentless jerkoffs.
