Who Sucks?

Honest question. When you think of a bad example of an artform, who comes to mind? We used to have universal high/low points of suckage ("Ishtar", "Heaven's Gate", "My Mother the Car", The Starland Vocal Band). What are they now?

Quick examples. When I think of "not funny," Jimmy Fallon jumps to mind. With the exception of SNL's "Barry Gibb Show" and his early musical appearances, I've never found the guy funny. His SNL career appeared to be composed of reading cue cards and making himself laugh. The thought of him having his own late night talk show just makes me want to go to bed early.
Musically, I think Nickelback sucks. The way he sings every song like he's crapping his pants bothers me.

On TV, I think David Caruso's style of matter-of-fact-I'm-just-reading-my-script delivery sucks, especially when combined with the slight 45 degree head turn where he looks like a dog pondering a doorknob. I'd rather watch Tony Danza tell the "Aristocrats" joke than see Caruso act.

Take the time, and use the pulpit. No right or wrong answers. This is your chance. Tell us all what sucks.

Denise Richards sucks. And the person at E! who decided she needed a reality show sucks.

Daily News said "Denise Richards comes across as a nice, pleasant, likable person in her new reality show." Are they kidding me? What show were they watching?? She came across as a self-centered, self-absorbed raging bitch. (Yes, despite my disgust, I did watch the first episode. And despite my disgust I'm sure I'll tune in for episode #2. I guess I suck, too.)

I like what the Fug chicks had to say about it...

Sarah Jessica Parker gets on my last nerve and rude as it may seem her horse face does nothing for me. And while I'm at it her husband hasn't done anything worthwhile since Ferris Bueller.

Nicolas Cage SUCKS. With the exception of Raising Arizona and Adaptation, he plays ever single role with this "I just got smacked in the face with a 2 by 4...who would do such a thing?" expression on his face. Also, AMEN about Fallon on "Barry Gibb"--it was a notable exception to his otherwise lackluster work. Though I have to admit I loved "Fever Pitch." But then, I am a sap.

Renée Zellweger sucks. I know she is a popular actress, but she annoys me to no end. Her squinty-eyed, scratchy-voiced delivery is the same in every film. And her "comedy" face...makes me want to smack HER in the face with a 2x4. And when she tries to do any kind of accent, it makes my ears bleed. She ruined Chicago. She ruined Cold Mountain. And she prevents me from seeing what could otherwise be good films. The only good thing she did for me was expose the Oscars as a joke. And Cheers to the Fallon comments. He is the epitome of why I don't like SNL anymore.

Will Ferrell sucks. I had to turn off Anchorman and return it to the video store like it was a bomb about to go off in my house. I think he could actually be funny in the right setting, but his genre (can you actually CALL it a genre?) is piss-poor.

Amen with Travis on the Sarah Jessica Parker sentiment. I've never understood what's appealing about her.

Flavor Flav? Who watches that crap? I flip by his show at record speed.

And of course, we can't have a "Who Sucks" list without Ms. Paris Hilton and her cronies-of=the-week.

(in a tiny Hammy-The-Squirrel voice: "...but...I like-a Nickelback")

I can't stand Billy Ray Cyrus. Even thinking about that song makes me cringe.

I also detest the oldest Kardashian sister. Her eyes are dead looking and it creeps me out.

You suck... for not posting a Pop Cast in forever. :)

Happy Birthday, a few days late!

Bon Jovi sucks. I grew up north of Boston, and that's heresy around these parts, but I can't stand them. Jon is a piece of ass, but their music? It's not great.
