There are some people whose very existence makes you want to punch them in the face. Everything about them screams 'Kick Me' or 'Mock Me Incessantly.' It's an indefinable quality really. Usually, these people either smarten up and start behaving in a more socially acceptable manner (i.e. less knob-like), or they manage to band together with similar asshat types. Unfortunately for the rest of us, a few of them manage to reach the highest pinnacle of their hopes and become celebrities, thus subjecting the rest of us to their utter tooliness with nary a word ever being said to them about said tool-like qualities. The following is a list of famous people who we all know, deep down in our hearts, wouldn't have any friends in real life.
Avril Lavigne

God. Avril is such a downright wang that I don't even know where to start. Of course there's her "I'm a rock chick" persona, which makes real rockers cringe everywhere. There's her total lack of humility and modesty which leads her to say things like "Girl's just want to copy me." (Um, nooooooo.) And finally, there's her song Sk8er Boi which makes me want to scratch my eyes out with a rusty fork. (Note to Avril: The way you spelled Skater Boy makes me hate you even more. Also, rhyming boi with boi makes you incompetent.) All extremely good reasons why she's lucky she's a celebrity and has enough money to pay people to hang out with her.
Philip Seymour Hoffman

Is there anyone smarmier than Philip Seymour Hoffman? He's what they call an actor's actor, which basically means he sucks up to other actors and talks continually about how "hard their jobs are" and how "acting is a difficult craft." Dude, you play make believe for a living, it's not exactly the bastion of difficulty. P.S. Using your middle name just makes you sound pretentious. And it makes me think of Little Shop of Horrors.
Tom Cruise

Wait, I was wrong; Tom Cruise is smarmier than Philip Seymour Hoffman. I love how the excuses for his bizarre behaviour were that it was because he was in love. What. Ever. Think about it like this: Tom Cruise is forty-blinking-five years old. Do you know of any other self-respecting forty-five year olds who would hang out with him if he was just a regular guy? (He's what MY forty-five year old dad would call a Dorkius Maximus.) (Which is dorky in itself, but hey, leave my dad alone!) Also, way to be a crybaby about the whole water gun incident. Crybaby.
Lindsay Lohan

Self explanatory.
Kanye West

What? Huh? But, I love Kanye. Why is he on this list? Okay, sure, the guy has a modicum of talent, but we're not rating people on whether or not they can write catchy little ditties, are we? And let's face it, he's a total douche. What with his huge ego and silly hissy fits, we're surprised he has any friends at all (even with his celebrity status). He should really try something I like to call: Being a Man. (As opposed to a giant assface. In case that wasn't clear.)
Courtney Love

Courtney Love's addition to our list is sort of an odd one, as she actually doesn't have any friends in real life. This is because she just kind of sucks. Like, really, really sucks. Also, if she was your friend, she'd probably steal your money and sleep with your dad.
Puff Daddy
(First of all, I refuse to figure out what he's calling himself now. It's annoying, extremely self-absorbed and very wang-like to (a.) continually change your name and (b.) expect people to care. News flash: We don't.)

There are many, many reasons that Puffy wouldn't have any friends in real life: his continual stealing of other people's music when he samples them in songs, the way he dresses and 'blings' himself out, and the fact that he styles himself as 'Daddy.' (And Puffy. And Diddy. All equally vomit inducing.)
Mariah Carey

I'm pretty sure that if Mariah Carey were to have any friends in real life, they'd be the friends who only kept her around so they could endlessly make fun of her. Like her obnoxious policy of only allowing photographers from snapping pictures of her from one angle, or the hand fluttery thing she does when she sings, or the slut-tastic way that she dresses. All good, nonstop opportunities for mockery.
Sean Penn

Being friends with Sean Penn wouldn't be too bad, as long as you like chilling out with a pompous imbecile. I think that having a conversation with him would be like taking a first class trip to Idiot Island where he rules as king.
Ashlee Simpson

All together now:
"You make me wanna vomit
In my mouth, on my hair
You may just be the dumbest person
Who has songs on the air
You're a Phony McPhonerson
With the clothes that you wear
You make me wanna
You make me wanna... actually, you don't make me "wanna" do anything. I'm pretty sure that I want to go to my grave solid in the knowledge that I was in no way, shape or form influenced by Ashlee Simpson. It's my own private mission.
The Hills Cast

These people make me weep for the future. Has a more self-involved, sniveling bunch of sycophants ever existed? Here's how we know they wouldn't have any friends in real life: They're on a "reality" show that focuses on their friendships, aaaaaannd they aren't really friends with each other. Le sigh.
Madonna

She's mean, rude, greedy, and vain and speaks in a fake British accent. Enough said.
I think that there are a lot of famous people who would be alone in their apartments with, like, 50 cats if they hadn't hit the big time. But, alas, some spawn-of-Satan "talent" agent decided to inflict them on the rest of us leading them to all glory in their employees friends and narcissism popularity.

OMG Courtney Love's dress!!!
And ya, ditto on Kanye. Stop being such a baby.

I can't disagree with you on any of these.
Posted by: Spacecaptainsuperguy at June 4, 2008 05:06 PM
This list lacks Britney Spears....FAIL!
Posted by: Kitn at June 4, 2008 05:31 PM
I think you forgot about 50 Cent, who apparently is such a jackass that he inspires one to want to pump multiple bullets into his frame
Posted by: ron at June 4, 2008 05:33 PM
you forgot Perez hilton
Posted by: asshley at June 4, 2008 06:48 PM
I don't believe you have ever even met any of these people much less know anything about them.

i would be friends with lindsay

It seems you're trying to be like MTV with garbage tabloid ranting.
Gimme a break. I'd expect something at least worth my time on MM. Idiot.

Avril is hot, but won't disagree with you musical criticism there, she's pretty bad. But hot.
Acting is hard. What do you do for a living?

i resent the shit out of freaks who think having cats is the mark of dementia.
cram it.
Posted by: fuzz at June 5, 2008 12:23 AM
I don't like half of the people on here but a lot I did. I really don't see wtf they had with Sean Pean other than he is a Liberal. Sounds to me that the ONE guy that wrote this article might me a little douche bag himself.
Posted by: Brad at June 5, 2008 12:26 AM
You should add David Caruso to the list....nobody would like the redheaded ass wouldn't he be on TV!
Posted by: Cole at June 5, 2008 12:29 AM
What? No Paris Hilton? Admittedly she -is- in the first photo with Avril Lavagine, but still ...
Posted by: Fluffy at June 5, 2008 12:36 AM
I am obliged to agreed about the Phillip Seymour Hoffman bit. Because the few friends that I have say that I look like him.
Posted by: Beemer at June 5, 2008 12:41 AM
Have you even met any of these people and had a conversation with them?
Posted by: juman at June 5, 2008 12:43 AM
Kanye West hates white people.
Posted by: whothefuckcares at June 5, 2008 12:51 AM
This article seems like it was written by a high school student. For elementary students. And the spurious intellectuality...enough said.
PS I realize who your target audience is, but I was expecting an interesting read and my disappointment led me to make this bitter comment.
Posted by: John Rambo XVI at June 5, 2008 12:53 AM
You're retarded if you think Avril Lavign actually writes her songs.
Posted by: Todd at June 5, 2008 01:00 AM
Why did you post this blog without a byline? Maybe it's because you sound like a pretentious little prick yourself. Who are you and why should we care what you think?
Posted by: Ari at June 5, 2008 01:26 AM
Haha, they'd have no friends if they weren't charismatic and beautiful! That's like saying "Wow, if that rich guy didn't have money, he probably couldn't buy so much stuff!"
What an ass-backwards "article" filled with ignorant fail . . .
so I suppose you've reached your target audience admirably. Excellent impression of an 8th grader.

You guys are totally missing it. This article is way-funny!! Who ever is responsible for this fine literature, bravo! Well written and to the point. I get it :)

"Who are you and why should we care what you think?"
just proof that people still base value of whats being said on popularity...rather than what actually being said.
good list. these people really dont give a rat's ass about any of you pleb's. and it's not bout "oh, well you haven't had a convo with them, so how would you know". fact is, they're celeb's and EVERYONE is watching them. if they didnt wanna be ridiculed, then they shoulda thought about that before they become total douches
Posted by: myfingerpoints at June 5, 2008 02:43 AM
Those who respond negatively to this article take themselves and life far too fucking seriously. Sadly, they are just mean and bitter people harboring tons of jealousy because they aren't a celebrity. Which means....They have no friends. Awwwww...you so lonely...so lonely....so so lonely.
Posted by: truthdealer at June 5, 2008 02:52 AM
Actually I am pretty sure tom cruise handled the water gun incident better then anyone would have. But I guess your a moron and never actually watched it

HAha what about Paris Hilton???
Posted by: website design at June 5, 2008 03:59 AM
Great post! Its true. You missed Paris Hilton though
Posted by: Antisocial network at June 5, 2008 05:06 AM
I got a chuckle at the inclusion of Sean Penn.
My dad says they they worked at the same place before Sean became a successful actor and says he was a smarmy doucebag and pretty much hated by everyone there.
Posted by: nunyo at June 5, 2008 05:17 AM
yikes, tough crowd! stone a guy to death for making fun of the bullshit we all care way too much about. fuck hollywood
Posted by: chester at June 5, 2008 05:41 AM
c,mon where the hell is mutton head sly stalone can you imagine sitting in a bar and a unknown stalone sits beside you and tries to make conversation with you about his socks or his pet fish or something ! man you would run a mile
Posted by: karlzips at June 5, 2008 06:01 AM
I think the craziest lunatic in the world should be at the top of the list GEORGE BUSH !
Posted by: garry at June 5, 2008 06:49 AM
seriously? tom cruise was a complete baby about the water gun incident. how could you possibly say he handled it well? he could have just laughed along with it but instead he ragged on the guy for being a jerk which ultimately made him just look like aa complete crybaby.
Posted by: tristan at June 5, 2008 09:39 AM
*you're a moron
Posted by: Jake at June 5, 2008 10:47 AM
What's wrong with Sean Penn? He is a pompous imbecile because he speaks out for the things he believes in? Is it because back in 2002 he was speaking out against President Bush, when it wasn't fashionable to be a critic of him? Is it because he traveled to New Orleans to personally help Katrina victims by becoming physically involved in rescuing people? Yeah that guy's a dick. I would never want to be his friend.

This blogger is an idiot.

"But I guess your a moron and never actually watched it"
Your is supposed to be You're, the contraction of "you are". Now who's the moron? Not that it matters anyway because "look everyone! Someone is wrong on the internet!" big whoop.
Posted by: Brandon at June 5, 2008 11:51 AM
You forgot Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie. Both take themselves too seriously but are completely fake at the same time.
Posted by: Hopscotch Girl at June 5, 2008 12:58 PM
Courtney Love looks kind of tramppy,sluttish,and kind of whorish. . .but I like it!
Posted by: Neo Poe at June 5, 2008 01:40 PM
I can't believe Lohan's mom didn't make the list. And what about the whole Spears Family? Shouldn't they have made it? Take off Phillip Seymore Hoffman, and add the Spears Family. Then death will have no sting.
Posted by: rage at June 6, 2008 04:53 PM
Courtney love is the anti-chick. Don't include her in any more of your lists, please. It's only by speaking her name that she is able to keep her mysterious stank (not a typo) powers.
Repeat after me now.
The power of normal repels you
The power of normal repels you
The power of normal repels you
Seriously, would someone please whack her in the head with a running lawnmower? The only news I want to hear of her anymore is that some giant beat her to death using Paris Hilton as a club.
Posted by: Sean at June 8, 2008 10:03 AM
Poor Courtney Love! She looks so.... unhealthy. And kinda gross. She doesn't need to get wasted to be loved!
Also, see: Linsday, Paris (not on the list? 'o'), Britney (ditto)
Also, acting is pretty hard, as I have learned the hard way. It's hard to play make-believe when you are older than, say, 15. (I miss my imagination!)
Posted by: Nanao at June 8, 2008 11:33 PM
this is stupid. The things that you say about all of them...you might as well just put ALL celebrities on this list. Most celebrities are weird and not people you would want to be friends with. If they were completely normal and like everyone else (which is what you are implying they should be) they would never have gotten famous in the first place. This list was just a waste of my life. thanks man.
Posted by: lyla at June 9, 2008 11:39 PM
dont know about tom cruise but others are really the one who can not have friends i agree with yuo
Posted by: Hammad at June 17, 2008 01:42 PM
It's funny how the people who criticize are typically the ones who can't spell and don't really know what they're talking about. Which says to me (and the rest of the world) that they are the ignorant ones. And why are they defending people who don't know them, wouldn't care about them if they did and probably wouldn't even be friends with them if they weren't famous? Sad... This list is both funny and true! Avril is a douche, Tom is a douche, Lyndsey is a douche, Diddy is a douche, Mairah is a douche and Courtney is just pathetic! And finally if you're so offended or annoyed about this (clever) list...why post a comment? Because you're a douche!
Posted by: Erin at June 19, 2008 10:23 AM
For the second installment, if there happens to be one -- you gotta Hassle the Hoff, if you know what I am saying.
Add that baywatch bitch to the list!
Posted by: Cas at June 21, 2008 07:01 PM
tell you whats funny. u guys are all taking this way to seriuosly. stop being such stiffs lighten up and laugh.
Posted by: sarah at June 25, 2008 04:08 AM
What started out as trying to be funny ended up pretty superficial... and if acting is so easy maybe you should try it, win an academy award and then tell us how easy it is to "pretend to be someone else for a living".
Posted by: Annie at July 5, 2008 09:05 AM
lindsay is perfectttt
Posted by: sxs at July 5, 2008 12:23 PM
where is paris hilton?
Posted by: eranda at July 5, 2008 02:02 PM
right on dude. I say, Down with Hollywood! Bunch of overpaid no talent asslips! I do think Oprah and Ellen should be included along with most of the NBA players. People! Stop worshiping other people who make more money than you do! If they were broke would you still idolize them? Bunch of fakers
