Famous people I hateMichael McIntyre, says our glorious leader. Everyone loves Michael McIntyre. Even the Daily Mail loves Michael McIntyre. Therefore, he must be a git. Who gets on your nerves?
Hint: A list of names, possibly including the words 'Katie Price' and 'Nuff said' does not an interesting answer make

The voice and the teeth are unfortunate... but the smugness, egocentricity and total lack of anything intelligent to say are far more culpable. Along with a variant on the smugness which I will term unjustified arrogance. Perhaps the true mark of the "professional celebrity" is to see oneself as having intrinsic value in the face of strong evidence to the contrary. That certainly describes JSP* and a lot of the others.
I have a theory that she has found a career in the public eye because of, not in spite of, her superficial weirdnesses. If someone of average appearance and voice came out with the things that she spouts, they would be dismissed as slightly pitiable but otherwise harmless. Her harpyish face and voice combo seem to accord her a "cutting-edge" personna of sorts.
* OTOH, I do like her idea for servlets.
