Abbi over at Where The Wild Things Are started something with her excellent list of “The Top Ten Actresses Who Irrationally Annoy The Shit Out Of Me”. She followed it up with a list of annoying actors and then lists of actors & actresses she’d watch in pretty much anything. I believe some others have made their own lists since then – let me know if you’ve done one too & I’ll add a link to it. 🙂
It was a great idea so I’ve done all four lists as well. Thanks, Abbi! I’ll start with The Top Ten Actresses Who Annoy Me (and I don’t think I’m being irrational at ALL. Lol). These are in no particular order (but Gwyneth certainly takes the crown). I won’t elaborate – I’m hoping we can all have a good bitchfest in the comments! But I’ll try to be a little positive & name the best movie I think each has been in…
Julia Roberts
Best Movie: Pretty Woman
Kristen Stewart
Best Movie: Panic Room or The Runaways
Amanda Seyfried
Best Movie: Mean Girls
Kristen Bell
Best Movie: Frozen
Anne Hathaway
Best Movie: Brokeback Mountain
Keira Knightley
Best Movie: The Jacket
Zooey Deschanel
Best Movie: (500) Days Of Summer
Emma Stone
Best Movie: Zombieland
Gwyneth Paltrow
Best Movie: Seven or Iron Man
Megan Fox
Best Movie: They all suck. Seriously.
**I don’t have another list scheduled yet. May post another Friday. Would you rather see the ten actresses I like or the ten actors who annoy me? 🙂
***EDIT to say: OMG! I’ve been reminded of Kate Hudson! How could I forget her?? If it will make people happier, I’d replace Emma Stone with Kate Hudson. To be fair, I hate the real-life persona of a lot of these but with Emma Stone, she seems decent in real life. Her voice just annoys me. Same as Johansson’s. Irrational, I know… 😉

I love how this blog is spreading! I wish now I’d done it as a blogathon! We clearly have a lot of irritation overlap here! Gwyneth is such a massive douche. A friend bought me her cookbook for my birthday and I can’t bring myself to make anything out of it because she irritates me so much.
Oh and more hate! Let’s see some hated actors!
The hate has started! #Fgwyneth I think she would be on everyone’s list.
Haha! People do seem to agree on hating Gwyneth… ; )
Oh, and I’ve done the hated actors at your request. ; ) I thought my hate lists would be longer but my favorite actors list is REALLY long – will be hard to narrow that one down.
Reblogged! 🙂 I really struggled to narrow mine down to. I could have had 50.
Thanks! : ) Yeah – I had to go with “only living actors” to narrow it down a bit. I feel bad that I love way more actors than actresses, though! Lol
It was a GREAT idea, Abbi! I had to join in as I really do HATE some of these people! (Paltrow). ; ) Bwahaha – is there even, like, REAL food in her cookbook?? I hope lots more people join in on this! I love seeing who people love & hate. : )
It’s full of utterly bonkers ingredients.
Reblogged this on Where The Wild Things Are and commented:
Another awesome blog post about irrationally irritating actresses. This time from my girl Table Nine Mutant over at Cinema Parrot Disco. Check it out!
Thanks, Abbi! : )
I’m curious. Why don’t you like Amanda Seyfried?
She’s ugly, and not that there’s anything wrong with that, but she’s one of those people who is so ugly that it shouldn’t even be a question of how ugly she is, but there are countless people who don’t think she’s ugly, so it annoys people who know she’s ugly that the other people don’t see how ugly she is. I heard she’s a nice person, though.
LMAO! Best. Comment. EVER. ; ) (can you read my mind?! It’s also that “vacant stare” and being in shit like Mamma Mia…)
Lol. I think that’s been answered now… ; ) I have no idea what she’s like in real life, though. She’s really been in a lot of the types of movies I hate, though. : )
Oh ouch! I love Emma Stone! I’ll agree on Megan Fox though, she irrationally annoys the hell out of me!
Love the idea of these lists though, I may have to do my own 🙂
– Allie
Lol. Another Stone lover! Knew I’d be in trouble for that. ; ) I don’t think hating Fox is irrational… Lol. Would love to see you do a similar list! : )
I definitely agree with u on some of these, especially Julia, Gweneth and Kristen, but thankfully none of them have yet made a Cast Away where we have to endure only them for 3 hours, so in the meantime, I tolerate them because there are other worthwhile actors in the movies with them. 🙂
doesn’t matter to me which list since eventually they will all appear. I guess whatever you have ready first 🙂
BTW, my next 250 is scheduled for the 7th or the 14th?
Tnx T9M
Thanks, Rob! Glad we agree on actresses we hate. Not sure how you can hate Denzel, though! ; ) Your next IMDB review is the 14th. : )
K. Youll get it this week. Tnx. Denzel is just too bland an actor in my eyes. Same character in just about every movie
Kristin Bell? How can you dislike Kristin Bell? She’s cute. And adorable. And funny. 🙂
Something about her face. Lol! (Her & Stone are lowest on the annoying scale) ; )
At least she’s lowest. 🙂
Remind me again what is it that Zooey Deschanel does ?
Um. Some movies. And I think some shitty indie music. ; )
I’ll raise you Scarlett Johansen and Kate Blanchett!
Hehe! I got your Twitter comment. I’VE ADDED KATE HUDSON!!! ; ) I don’t mind the others but Johansson’s voice does get on my nerves…
I’m not with you on Kristen Bell or Emma Stone but otherwise yes, especially Julia Roberts, but ESPECIALLY Julia Roberts.
If it makes you feel better, someone has reminded me of Kate Hudson. Good lord, she needs to be on this list! I’d replace Emma Stone with her as Stone is the least annoying on here.
But ESPECIALLY Paltrow. No, seriously – especially Paltrow, man! Roberts. That mouth. It’s the MOUTH….
Is this list about them in real life and the movies or just the movies. Paltrow doesn’t really bother me in movies although she’s a flaming douchebag in real life. Yeah Kate Hudson stinks.
It’s a bit of both for me. Paltrow is DEFINITELY real life! Well, movies too. Okay – Paltrow & Fox are hated in every way possible. The rest are mainly just in movies. Some I hate the voice (Stone & Johansson but she’s not made the list as she’s starting to be in really good movies lately) & others I hate something about their faces (Seyfried – vacant. Knightley – smug & something weird about her jaw. Roberts – mouth). So, yeah. There’s my rational explanation in case you really wanted it. ; )
Oh, and too many shitty rom-coms piss me off too, JULIA!
Interesting list even though I am wondering why some of the annoy you. Personally I’ve always been annoyed by Meryl Streep, there’s something about her which makes me feel uncomfortable.
Lol. I like Meryl Streep okay. I’ll admit I have no good reason for SOME of these. ; ) Some seem horrible in real life but others I know nothing about. With Amanda Seyfried & Kristen Bell, I just don’t like their faces. Like, they annoy me when I look at them… Lol. Emma Stone seems decent but… I don’t like her voice. Okay – there’s more “irrational” dislike in here than I realized! ; )
Irrational isn’t a bad thing though…guess it is just some survival instinct or something which helps us to protect ourselves 😉
The more irrational the better 🙂 Nice to know how you think 🙂
I’m so glad you included Zooey Deschanel! I can’t stand her, she’s so fucking shit. And of course she’s the Antichrist. I do like Emma Stone though, i would replace her with Kate Hudson and your list would be perfect
Lol! KNEW you’d like Deschanel being on here – I remember your Anti-Christ post. ; ) Well, Stone kind of HAS been replaced with Hudson so… #SM again!
Sounds shit.
Just kidding, of course. I agree with you for the most part but Emma Stone? COME ON! She’s fun!!
Also – you liked The Jacket???????
#ineedtobuyalotteryticket
#ilikedthejacket
Lol. Well, Kate Hudson & Anna Faris would knock her off this list if I’d thought of them. And The Jacket was pretty great from what I remember of it! Should watch that again. : )
I’d forgotten Kate Hudson! Yeah, she’d be in it.
I agree with almost 100% of this list. And I second Brian about Julia Roberts. She sucks
Yay! We’re SO alike! *hug* lol. Hey! You’re on my blog again! Hi! : )
I couldn’t stay away!
Unfortunately, neither can Mike… ; )
Kristen Stewart…hmmm…I disagree ;). I can’t flipping stand Paltrow!
Lol. Do you REALLY disagree on Stewart? If so, you’re the first one! : )
I do! Thought she was great in “Adventureland,” “Into the Wild,” and On the Road.” Not to mention here presence and performances in her more mediocre films holds them together :).
I actually quite liked Adventureland! Although it also starred TWO of my honorable mentions for annoying actors. Lol : )
Oh, and I’ve not seen On The Road but I’ll totally be watching it for Garrett Hedlund. ; )
It’s one of my all-time favourites! Hedlund is amazing, as are all the performances. I really hope you enjoy it :).
Looks like you’re on Emma Stone Island all by yourself, T9M. I would swap her out with Drew Barrymore, and probably X out half this list to include Anna Faris five times.
Haha! That’s okay – I’m used to usually being alone on things like this. ; ) SHIT. That’s TWO actresses I’ve forgotten now – Kate Hudson & Anna Faris. Both would definitely kick Stone off this list. But… Oh boy… Drew? Maybe you shouldn’t look at my “top ten favorite” lists next week. ; )
Good list! I have to strongly disagree with Emma Stone (grooooooowwwl) and probably Julia Roberts, just because…blasphemy, right? But damn are you spot on about Keira ‘the jaw’ knightly and apart from a complete male point of view yum-factor, yeah to Megan Fox too.
Hehe. Thanks. NO ONE agrees with Emma Stone. ; ) She’s kind of been unofficially replaced by Kate Hudson anyway. Hate Roberts, though. Didn’t realize so many hated Knightley! And Fox… HUGE yuck. She’s number 2 after Paltrow. Icky!
Kate Hudson!! Ha ha… I like her but haven’t seen her in that much (she was great in Almost Famous…). I had a discussion with a friend and we wondered if its easier to be annoyed by an actress if you’re female, and easier to be annoyed by an actor if male…?
Almost Famous is a great film – definitely her best one at least. I don’t know – I think we can all be easily annoyed by either but that a male’s list of annoying actresses would probably be very different from a female’s…
I’m with you 90% but leave Zooey out of it because she is adorable!!
Lol. I’m actually surprised that more people weren’t shocked by her being on the list! You’re the first one. ; )
Good list. May I suggest Renee Zellweger and Reese Witherspoon? I don’t mind Knightly and Stone so much but no matter. 🙂
Agree on Zellweger! I actually used to love Witherspoon but, I dunno… Lately not so much… I really think she needs a GOOD role very very soon. (Everyone loves Emma Stone. Lol) ; )
haha!! Oh, oh, it’s the voice of Emma Stone that grates on your nerves, is it??? 😉
I prefer that being the problem over her acting skills, I really think she’s quite good but I can also *slightly* see her irritating factors. . .haha. None more so on this list than freaking Kristen Stewart, though. My goodness. And I love the photos you’ve chosen. That one really does her justice lol
Also, yes. I thought this idea is fantastic and hopefully you’ll see a few of these over on DSB within a couple weeks. Abbi’s awesome. 🙂
Lol. It’s kind of her face as well. ; ) EVERYONE hates Stewart!!! How does she keep getting work?? I’d LOVE to see you do these lists too, Tom! : )
Bahaha I can definitely agree with some of these. But Stone?!?! Nooooooo! Love her! Yes replace her with Kate Hudson!!!
Lol! Knew people wouldn’t like Stone being on here. I don’t like her voice. And face. Buuuuut – she does seem like an okay person. I definitely hate Kate Hudson more! And another one I’ve been reminded of in comments – Anna Faris. Yuck!
Bahaha I think the only animosity I have toward Faris is the fact that she’s married to Chris Pratt…
#jealous
She is?! Lol. I’m so bad with celebrity news these days… ; )
Keira and Kriston, 100% irritating. Also on my list is Winona Ryder. I really like Kate Hudson and Zooey D. and Anne Hathaway. The rest on this list I don’t mind. Even Gwynneth who’s a bit weird in real life but i don’t mind her movies.
Lol. Everyone seems to agree on Stewart & Knightley! Aww – I really like Ryder, probably because I grew up with her. : ) I will NEVER like Paltrow, though. EVER. Lol. : )
OMG, K-Stew would top my list for sure!! She can’t act her way out of a paper bag, seriously! I just commented on Abbi’s blog that I’m sick of seeing Knightley everywhere whilst other more talented British actresses like Sophia Myles, Romola Garai or even Felicity Jones are so under-utilized. I kind of like Kristen Bell tho, I think she’s hilarious and has a lovely voice.
Lol. I think everyone hates Kristen Stewart! Glad to see so much hatred for Knightley, too. Lol. I thought she was more popular! I do love Anna in Frozen so maybe I prefer Bell animated. ; )
Gwyneth is annoying too and I hate spelling her name I feel like I can never spell it so F her. Also Kristen Stewart, ugh hate her. I do like Amanda Seyfried…awww and Emma Stone. I’d add Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Lake Bell, Amanda Peet and that red-headed chick who plays Wendy in the TV commercials for Wendy’s. Hate her!
Lol. We don’t have Wendy’s in the UK so I’ve never seen her. Agree with the others that you hate! Haha. I KNEW people wouldn’t be happy that Emma Stone is on my list. ; ) She seems nice in real life but I don’t really like her in movies and her voice is annoying.
Hey you are totally allowed to hate on her. You go girl hate on. lol Oh yes I always forget that you are in the UK!!! Well I think you would agree with me on Wendy. 🙂
Great list! Roberts? Yes! Paltrow? Err, obviously! Stewart? Definitely! As for Knightley, I think she must be the worst of all. I have to turn the TV over when that perfume ad comes on. Urgh! Deschanel can piss right off, too.
Lol! Glad you agree that these people SUCK! ; ) And I love the phrase “piss right off”. : )
Good list. Glad to see I’m not the only one who doesn’t rate Julia Roberts.
However having read your “favourite” actresses list I would add some of them in this list too – and throw in Kate WInslet too for good measure. 😛
Thanks! Julia Roberts gets on my nerves. : ) lol – I had some people strongly disagree with my favorite actresses. ; ) Aww – Kate Winslet isn’t bad… I don’t love her, though.

Seems like some jealousy plays into who women find annoying. All of those are beautiful/hot actresses. Not sure what’s annoying about them, but I’m a dude.
You’ve managed to figure me out from one blog post when my husband hasn’t been able to figure me out in over a decade. Well done! But it’s funny how my top ten list of favorite actresses contains women who are all far more your “dude” definition of beautiful slash “hot” than these ten I find annoying.
