Stefu, He's on drinking bindge. We will soon here about him. I mean he must be drinking heavy now, because we haven't heard anything from him yet. He'll get the headlines with another DUI or wifebeating soon, don't worry.

Lady DIE was useful for providing a 20 year windfall for gossip mags, which may be America's only remaining industry.

I can't believe somebody nominated a Finn as a celebrity in any respect. But I'm sure there's a guy in Mauritius right this moment who's all the rage in his village for swallowing fish skeletons whole. I vote for him.

Wasn't that the family in Dune? ;-)

But I know who you mean. Wound up a grease stain.

Don't get me wrong, I like Finns. But they just aren't box office. This is a Good thing.

I don't know if this has been said (I do not want to read this whole list) but:

THE GUY FROM THE DELL COMMERCIALS IS THE MOST ANNOYING CELEBRITY. ACTUALLY IT IS A TIE BETWEEN HIM AND CARROT TOP. THEY ARE ALSO THE MOST USELESS.

Second on Carrot Top.

Ming, Joey Buttafuco supposedly inspired American Beauty, which is quite a decent movie... So he can't be all bad...

Don't forget http://www.mattinykanen.net/
Matti forever!

www.mattinykanen.net briefly in English

www.mattinykanen.net is a fan site dedicated to the best ski jumper ever, Mr. Matti "The Flying Finn" Nykänen.

Born in 17.7. 1963 at Jyväskylä, Finland, Matti has won more championships than no ski jumper ever. Since his sports career Matti has done right about anything one can imagine. He has been a singer, a stripper, an artist, and an alcoholic, to name a few.

Matti has never tried to avoid publicity, and that's probably why he is almost classified as a national hero in Finland. Matti's marital status alternates from week to week, and he's also frequently seen on covers of Finnish tabloid magazines.

So far www.mattinykanen.net crew has no plans to make english version of these pages, but at least music is universal and you can check brief captions of Matti's hit singles in our music section.

We have had Liza Minelli and Liz Taylor, how can you mention these two without mentioning Michael Jackson.

Or LaToya Jackson.

Hmmmmmm...

First on the list is Sportscasters. What a waste. Included in this group is anyone who has a sports talk show. Omitted from this group are fun local announcers like Harry Carry and Myron Cope. Yoi!

Anyone involved with E!

Joan Rivers.

Newscasters. I thought our country was the only one with horrible TV news. Then I saw a Korean newscast on PBS in the middle of the night, and realized that they're just as bad.

Anyone (including Carrot Top) who has appeared in a 10-10-220 or 1-800-collect ad. Eh, for that matter, anyone who does "celebrity endorsements".

Atheletes.

Brett Sommers... the lady on the Match Game.

Talk show hosts.
