My Friend Graham's "The List" Of Things That He Can't Stand

rachel ray - tolerable in small doses, perhaps, but i cannot cope with the massive exposure she’s receiving lately. as is the case with several of society’s ills, oprah is to blame.
borat’s mustache - sacha baron cohen’s kazakhstani reporter is annoying enough, but that caterpillar on his upper lip is unbearable. i know it’s intentional, but it still creeps me out.

beyonce - after upstaging kelly rowland for 20 years, jay-z’s main squeeze is upset that jennifer hudson is getting all the attention for their upcoming flick, dreamgirls. it’s called karma, bitch! stop whining, it’s about time it caught up with you.

real world: denver cast - come to think of it, are these kids ever endearing? only a few episodes in, and i already despise alex, who claims to be a “player” but is really just an asshole. also, this season’s token queer, davis, couldn’t be any more embarrassing (though he isn’t quite as horrible as key west’s tyler).

bono - it’s great that he’s using his celebrity to save the world, but does he really have to throw a press conference every time he does it? oh, and it might also be nice if his band stopped releasing the same album over and over again (and collecting every possible award along the way).

DEAD TO ME

criss “mindfreak” angel - i’m not sure why he bothers me so, but i think it has something to do with his show’s hideous theme song… which he sings himself. oh yeah, and then there’s the issue of that fabio-goth haircut.

britney’s naughty bits - everyone’s favorite down-but-not-out divorcee might have trouble finding husband no. 3 (or even mr. right now) after multiple pics of her baby machine showed up all over the internet. the horror! the horror!

jamie foxx - we all know he was brilliant in ray, so why does he keep beating us over the head with it? as for his subsequent hip-hop career, his cameo on kanye west’s “gold digger” was a novelty. and it should have ended there.

brangelina - it’s hard to recall actually liking these two beautiful people - even as two separate entities. i used to consider them both talented actors, but now all is see is angelina the homewrecker and brad the lapdog. the press may be partly to blame, but at the same time, they made their bed…

You don't gotta agree with all of these, but Graham's "the list" is always fun. Personally, I love Rachel Ray, Bono and Brangelina, but Graham at vivalagraham.com never fails to deliver when he makes a "the list" post. Luv ya, Graham.


* Have some of that good stuff called 'fun' this weekend. You'll see my typing here on Monday. :)
