Oh and for sports fans............. Skip Bayless Skip Bayless is just playing the role of a contrarian. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe half the shit he says. |

I don't think Lance Armstrong's sins are nearly as egregious as people make them out to be. Is his rise to fame and fortune littered with performance-enhancing drugs and the husks of people he stepped on to get there? Absolutely. But he's not this evil monster that people make him out to be. He has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research. Hell, he's raised over $300 million on LiveStrong bracelets alone. Anyone who does that much good for the community can get away with being an egotistical, arrogant prick or a drug user, because the good evens out the bad.
Kanye West isn't a scumbag. He has a God complex and thinks he's the most important thing to happen to the world, but that's no different than about 90 percent of all musicians. I think there is no moment in music history more overblown than when he took the stage and stole the microphone from Taylor Swift. Judging by the horrified reactions, you would have thought he marched on stage and raped her on the spot. Hell, the President of the United States called him out for it. I thought it might have something to do with the racial element, of the scary black man stealing the virginal white girl's moment, but what he did was no different than what Ol Dirty Bastard did to Shawn Colvin at the 1997 Grammys, and yet that just kind of gets forgotten to time.
People like Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen are absolutely, positively scumbags of the highest order, because of the brutal nature of their crimes and their callous, unforgiving attitudes afterwards. At least Brown gets his share of heat for it. Charlie Sheen turned being a violent, insane psychopath into a touring comedy act and has made millions milking that gimmick for all it's worth.

Is it fair to post Rae Carruth and Mike Tyson? Rae Carruth had his pregnant girlfriend killed and also Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist. Is it fair to include either of these guys? Also, how about Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's (RIP) dad? He seems really creepy to me; he was an adulterer who abused his kids.

Hitler (he was very much a celeb in the 30s/40s , yes even in US....I don't really need to list his bad deeds , they'd be pretty beep-in obvious)
I'd cut Benoit some slack , he was obviously not the same guy as he used to be unlike Simpson who seems to be much more calculating.
People say Bieber act arrogant/douchey , well back in the day they said the same thing about Bruce Lee but as Jon Benn said "he was good and he knew it"
Elvis (didn't think cheating was wrong but then again the women knew what they were getting in to. OD'd several times in '73 alone)
Priscilla (makes herself out to be a saint when she had a thing with Mike Stone , lol at E taking her virginity , I bet she lost it many yrs before Elvis came along)
Bruce Lee (lol at their so called happy marriage , Betty was his mistress and the story about her being in Game is mostly just an excuse to cover their tails. Also I don't think Betty was the only one , how bout that woman Brandt from Green Hornet for instance. I think his wife Linda was terrified reading about his women in the mags and papers)

On top of being permanently confused: I took his name as a joke, but it's amazing to me how no one even seem to bring this up anymore as they watch his crappy-ass movies Your sig makes this hilarious. Like he's reading it thinking "I did all that shit?!?" |

Chuck Norris (condemns gays but has cheated himself , still gotta give him cred for anti-drugs though)
Otto Preminger (good director , cruel person)
Cary Tagawa (was he freed from the charges ?)
Chris Reeve (he became a bit arrogant after SII came out according to Jack O'Halloran aka Non....I think that happens to many young actors when they strike fame though)
Rumor has it that Bruce Lee could be quite intimidating to journalists who gave him bad reviews.
We put these guys up on a pedistool , sometimes we forget they're human and flawed (reminds me of that Bravestarr episode where he has to arrest his childhood idol)

Anyone that promotes their religion in a mean-spirited, "if you don't repent, you will be left behind!" type of attitude is a colossal scumbag in my opinion. I'd like to add: Lindsay Lohan Justin Beiber Donald Trump What's Bieber done that's particularly scummy? I mean yeah, he can be arrogant at times, but he's pretty much a typical teen. Yeah, the Anne Frank remark was a bit silly, but apart from that he's not done much wrong, especially compared to people like Saville and Glitter. I mean, I don't particularly like him, hate his music personally, but he really doesn't deserve a lot of the hate he gets. When you have your own line of underwear that's worn by pre-teen girls, then yeah, you're a scumbag. He's what, 18-19 now? |

I honestly didn't know that Marky Mark was that much of a douchebag. He didn't really fit well in "Ted". Otherwise, I haven't seen any of his other films.
Makes his brother Donnie look like the choir boy of the family.

Pretty sure you can get kids underwear with their characters on. Looney Tunes too. pretty sure the execs at these companies are older than 18-19. |

Bieber isn't a fictional character, he's basically sex-symbol to young girls, so comparing him to Looney Tunes is not quite the same.
I still think of him as an asshole for the twitter prank that got a couple people's phone lines flooded by thousands and thousands of his fans, since he had to have known that they were going to do just that and just didn't care.

He's an actual person. That would be like Michael Jackson having his own line of pre-teen underwear. |

Yes, a supposed pedophile grown man having children's underwear is the same as a teeny bopper who's directed at that age group having them. Besides, it's not like he sees the kids wearing them. They have his branding on them, simple as. Really seems as though you're clutching at straws here. |

I really think there needs to be thread that is titled celebs who are the biggest arseholes. As its been pointed out here before that most of the examples in this thread are just people being total high grade wankers and can cannot be compared to people like Jimmy Savile who are straight up monsters.
I mean come on Justin Bieber might be an annoying egoistical little shit but really a scumbag.

Stuart Hall... f*** - he was my hero for nearly 20 years what with It's a Knockout and his amazing sporting event commentaries. Talk about having the stuffing knocked right out of me when I heard what he had done. And Bieber is an idiotic waste of oxygen whom I could happily go the rest of my life without hearing about again - but NOT a scumbag. |

Rapists, abusers, killers. Some of these guys and gals being named are just unpleasant people, annoying people, petty criminals, etc., and really don't belong in the same category at all, as far as I'm concerned. The hyperbole of calling them scumbags (let alone the BIGGEST scumbags) dilutes the point. |

Not all of us know who all the famous rapists/murderers/pedos are. I'm just going by all the celebs I know.
On that note, add Elmo.

Ted Nugent. People would have already forgot about this douchebag had he not constantly opened his mouth and spewed complete nonsense every now and then. Oh and the fact that he's illegally hunted numerous times. I don't have a problem with hunting so long as you are not a complete a-hole about it, and Mr Nugent completely is. Well Courtney Love love claimed on Howard Stern nine years ago that when she was 12 she gave him oral sex. I really think there needs to be thread that is titled celebs who are the biggest arseholes.

Indeed and it doesn't such much about FAN where a thread can go from someone like Jimmy Savile a monster who is believed to have raped and sexually abused children for more than 5 decades to some nobody off TGWG who didn't like the third season of MLP. |
