This is going to sound terribly naff, but I honestly don't have anyone in my life who could qualify as either of those descriptions so I'm going to change this slightly to three famous people I don't like.

1. Katie Price (the same goes for all those no-talent reality TV nonentities, the likes of the Kardashians and Kerry Katona).  These people, who were clearly at the back of the queue when class and self-respect were being dished out, are the role models for the modern age, sadly.  They peddle the lesson that all you need to do is inflate your tits, spread your knees and sell publicity rights for your fallopian tubes to the highest bidder to achieve fame and fortune.  Oh yes, and don't forget to get married in some lavish ceremony with all the elegance and sophistication of a bunfight in Barbie-land to some passing has-been (or never-was) and punch out a couple of kids when your star starts to wane.
Katie Price - and your ilk - I despise you and everything you stand for.
2. Tony Blair.  Sorry, I don't know why, but there was something about that man right from the beginning that made my skin crawl.  To me he was unctious, false and shallow.  I had him (and his wife) pegged as a pair of freeloading parasites long before the truth emerged.
3. Andy Murray.  Sorry, I know this is a contentious one, but no. I'm sure he's a decent guy but I just can't warm to him.

Katie Price - and your ilk - I despise you and everything you stand for. The only thing I will say about her is that she is obviously a very savvy businesswoman O_O

Absolutely, which I find sad - sad that her success means that fame and fortune no longer equates to talent and hard work.

Listen to me - I sound like a right grumpy old git :D

LOL! No you don't I completely agree, and I don't particularly like her, the only thing I will add is whilst she was keeping her 'modelling' career and her life separate I had a grudging respect for her. The MINUTE she started touting under her own name and showing the world her kids, all respect GONE!

Agreed!

I honestly don't get the fascination with those reality types. Never heard of Katie Price, but I absolutely loathe the Kardashians and all people like them, and all that they stand for. The way society idolizes these people for doing basically nothing except have beautiful things and nice bodies is a stain on our society, IMO.

I've never been a fan of Andy Murray. I don't much care for his antics on the tennis courts.

You and I think very much alike!
