I'd thought everybody would name Justin Bieber, but to my surprise I'm the first, HA!
A throwaway thread to be sure. Mine is Ben Affleck. It looks like he's a nice enough guy, I don't know of anything particularly stupid he's ever said or done, nor is he distinguishable by any trait that I normally despise. Indeed, if he were to ruin the Batman franchise I would actually feel indebted to him. Does anybody else have a celebrity they have the same feeling about?

The guy who put the "D" in "D-bag?"Or does he not count because we all have plenty of objective reason to hate him?
OMG so many but my most recent are . . . Taylor Swift - can't put my finger on it, she's quite beautiful I think and talented so they say but she annoys the crap out of me for some reason.
You guys have very good reasons for hating most of these people. I agree with many of them, but I definitely have a list of objective reasons why they are terrible and why I hate them, so I don't think they really count for this thread.
Tom Brady.Just because nobody should be that good looking, that rich, that successful, that famous, be married to a supermodel, at least decently intelligent AND not a completely terrible person.I hate his smug face.
Every time I see Jim Carrey, I can only think how exhausting it must be to spend 30 minutes with him, much less a lifetime. He never shuts up.
Matthew Ma-Con-A-Hay. I didn't have a reason, but now I do. Those stupid commercials. Not even going to say what kind of car. Ugh!

You just know Gisele picked that one out.I was going to say Tom Brady, but now that I've seen that outfit, I have a reason to hate him, so it doesn't count.

His nickname at Castle Mandalay is the Girly-Armed Douchebag. I would gladly pay to punch him in the face.
Brad Pitt. This is subjective, based on heresay, but alot of it. Many people have said he has body odor. It`s hard to appreciate good looks when the thought of a person turns your stomach.

I happen to know Mandalay is a huge Pittsburgh fan, so I have to wonder how she feels about Big Ben, especially after his recent 12 TD, 0 INT, 0 sexual assaults performance the past few weeks!

Tori has a new show, I can still hear Joan Rivers voice, Cameron D reminds me of my ex, Miley is hot but she's just annoying, everyone else I just feel like the guy from step brothers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgOPxG2_wgA. You guys crack me up!
LENA DUNHAM. Even before the current hullabaloo. And we're within one or two degrees of separation (similar schools, husband in a related industry, same city) and I can not sufficiently share my loathing of her with people in my life.
Renee Zellwegger.
No doubt. Alec Baldwin. Just look at that face.That said, there are plenty of reasons to hate him. My hate transcends reason.

My hate transcends reason.I used to hate him too, until I saw this:http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-And-The-Magic-Railroad/dp/B004EFBRSGIt's a horrible, horrible movie that my kids love to watch all the time. I feel sorry for him in this, but also get a newfound respect for his acting abilities. The fact that he didn't think he was too good to do this role, coupled with his decent acting despite the horrible script and direction, amazes me every time I see it. So, I used to think he was a douche until seeing him in this and being amazed that he doesn't seem like douche playing this role.
The fact that he didn't think he was too good to do this role
Well I was only skimming the thread so I don't know if this was mentioned, but I could never stand Philip Seymour Hoffman. There's over-rated, over-rated, and there's...did you actually watch movie?. I mean mission impossible 3, money ball, the master...okay that last one was bad anyway. I haven't seen all his movies. But what few I have he was really, really bad. In real life he had to shove his atheism in everybody's face as well. Okay I guess this is more actual reasoned response for disliking him.No one mentioned Mike Meyers? Has he really faded from the public consciousness that quickly or is he just universally loved?
Bob Costas.
YES. I hated his Olympic coverage and reveled in his pink eye
