Let’s face it, none of us mere mortals will ever truly know what celebrities are like out of the spotlight – after all, we base our judgments of them purely on what we read/hear/see in the tabloids and on gossip websites.
And while we know it’s probably not the best way to judge a person’s character, when it comes to the A-listers it’s really all the info we need to decide which celebrities out there we just love to hate. Whether it’ s because of their reckless and inappropriate behaviour, or the annoying things they say and do, we just can’t seem to get enough of these less-than-loved celebs.
Take a look through our gallery of celebrities we love to hate to see if your favourite love-to-hate celeb made the cut…
Ugh, we hate these celebs for their tight and toned bods (but we’re sure they’re lovely people)…
At least some of these celebs have besties to love them through and through…
Which celebrities do you love to hate?
Lindsay Lohan
This wild child just can’t get her act together. But who doesn’t love to hear about her latest stint in jail/rehab/a gutter?
Tom Cruise
We used to love him for his boyish good looks. Then he started jumping on couches and being kinda nuts, and now we love seeing what craziness is coming next.
Ke$ha
If the stupid dollar sign in her name wasn;t enough to put her on our celebs we love to hate list, then her dirty, taken-from-a-bin fashion certainly did the trick.
The Kardashians
This famous family can thank Kim for their fame. Who can thank her sex tape for people even knowing her name. So, they’re pretty much famous for nothing.
Simon Cowell
He’s mean, brutally honest, and a little bit full of himself. But we just can’t get enough of him!
Tyra Banks
Let’s face it, all Tyra cares about is Tyra. But when she comes up with catch phrase gold like ‘smize’, we can’t stay mad for too long.
Kanye West
Kanye’s known as being a bit of a bastard (we’re sure Taylor will attest to it), but we still hang onto the edge of our seats waiting for his next words of ‘wisdom’.
Jessica Simpson
Jess had us – hook, line, and sinker – with her ‘is tuna chicken or fish?’ comment. More, we say! Give us more Jess-isms!
MIley Cyrus
From her overt sexuality to her tattoos and smoking, we fear Miles is set to become the new Lindsay. Bring it on.
Scott Disick
We know he’s part of the Kardashian Klan, but Scott deserves his own spot on this list for his inflated ego and less-than-appropriate behaviour.
Speidi
They’ve been a bit quiet lately, but we will never forget the annoyingness of Speidi. If only they’d come out of hiding for a bit, take the heat off the Kardashians.
Paris Hilton
Never mind she’s famous for pretty much nothing, Paris didn’t really endear herself towards anyone when she tried singing and acting.
John Mayer
He’s a womaniser, says crazy inappropriate things in interviews, and has a really weird mouth when he sings. And we still keeping following his movements…
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi
There’s no denying this pocket rocket is one entertaining lady who doesn’t take herself too seriously. Though a role model she aint!
Tori Spelling
Had it not been for the reality TV show that showcases her family life, we may never have known we love to hate Tori. Err, thanks, Tori?
Madonna
Seriously, it’s time Madonna accepted her age and stopped acting like a 20-something-year-old.
Charlie Sheen
Charlie changed his name from Carlos Irwin Estevez (yep, he’s Emilio Estivez’s brother!) to Sheen, just like his dad, Martin (who also changed from Estevez).
Nicole Kidman
She named her daughter Sunday Rose (which sounds entirely too much like Sunday roast), and is just a little too boring. C’mon Nic, a little scandal never hurt anyone!
Katie Price
Katie, AKA Jordan, is the definition of trashtastic – from her giant, incredibly fake boobs to her orange, incredibly fake tan.
Best: Kristen Stewart’s admission
It may have been the world’s worst kept secret, but Kristen FINALLY admitted to dating Rob Pattinson.
