Expendable Entertainment-Industry Lives

[shereads]

I don't wish them dead, but given the opportunity to trade one of them for, say, Johnny Carson or anyone else of whom I have positive memories, I'd give the Imperial Thumbs-Down to (in order of annoyance, just top-of-mind):

Cher

Liza Minelli

Jay Leno

The cast of "Wings"

Others tbd. Off to the office now.

Your choices?

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Liza Minelli is one of those people like Ozzy Osborne or Vince Neill: they were a lot more fun when they were high all the time.

Can we add the Olsen Twins to the list?

Do they count as one scarifice or two?

Sorry, that would be two, CD. I think I read somewhere, that despite of appearances, they are not identical twins.

Personally, I would happily offer Howard Stern up to the appeasement of any angry gods. In my opinion, he is an egomaniacal ass. But that's just my opinion.

Luck,

Yui

 

[cloudy]

Gilbert Gottfried.

Is there anyone more annoying?

edited to add: Joan Rivers. Please, someone put her out of her misery before she has more plastic surgery.

 

[Vincent E]

If I offered up Micheal Moore, how many dead celebs could I get back from the grave based on sheer tonnage?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Pauly Shore.

 

[china-doll]

Carrot Top.


(Does he still count as a celebrity if no one like him?)

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Carrot Top.


(Does he still count as a celebrity if no one like him?)

Yes.

Tom Green too and Tom Arnold.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

My own choice is Jim Belushi.

I admit I haven't seen his TV show, but would he be anything if it weren't for his dead brother?

[Guest]

Kathy Lee Gifford and/or Kelly Ripka

 

[china-doll]

Kathy Lee Gifford

Oooo... good call.

Kelly Ripka

I don't think she's as anoying, not enough to rate sacrifice anyway. Maybe just a nationally televised Bitch Slap?




What about anyone who got famous for being on a reality show?

CD, what i wont find for you...
apparently, she has quite a crush on you ...does that make you feel better or worse?

OK, that was just creepy!

 

[LadyJeanne]

Ok, I may get spanked for this one, but I'd love it if Julia Roberts just went away. And the current crop of blonde starlets that might as well be clones because I can't tell them apart or remember their names.

And Jessica Simpson. Julia could stay if Jessica went away.

Kathy Lee Gifford and/or Kelly Ripka

And the thing that spawned them: Regis Philbin.

It's your list, and it's legally non-binding, so you can add anybody you choose. The question is, would you use the twins to ransom two less annoying celebrities or one good one?

I'll agree with you on Kelly--I was condeming her by association with Regis, and his with Kathy Lee.

Here's a favorite theory of mine : Kathy Lee Gifford gave birth to the Olsen Twins.

Think about it. It explains a lot.

Right down the the child slavery.

I'd just throw them back, and not hope for any return. We'd still be better off.

 

[Liar]

It's kind of satisfying that I have no idea who half of these people are.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Graham Norton. For the love of God!

 

[Evil Alpaca]

Letterman . . .

Anyone who has appeared on "reality" television . . .

Rosanne

Madonna

Eminem

 

[impressive]

The Crocodile Hunter (Steve what's-his-face)

Governor Ahhhnold

Jerry Lewis and his mother-fuckin' telethon

Britney Spears

(I could go on and on and on ...)

 

[Lucifer_Carroll]

Can I trade every popular music star of the last five years to resurrect Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Warren Zevon, and Frank Zappa?

I mean who'd miss them really?

 

[An Awful Cad]

My nominee, based on the lowest ratio of talent to celebrity:

Clay Aiken
