RED's 20 Most Hated Celebrities

20. Victoria Beckham
Is it because she seems to be the snootiest of the Spice Girls? Or because she stole David Beckham from the rest of the world? Or because she once said she wanted to be as famous as a British washing machine company, Persil Automatic? We're gonna go with all of the above (and that last one is just so, so sad.)

19. Ben Affleck
We're not sure if it's his acting (Matt Damon doesn't get this kind of hate) or whether he wasted all of our lives for two years with the whole Bennifer thing (don't worry, we blame Jennifer Lopez too), but whatever the reason, people sure do love to hate Ben Affleck.

18. Clay Aiken
What could we possibly not like about Clay Aiken? Is it his rumored diva-like behavior? The inability of any of his friends to take him aside and explain what a haircut is? Or is it just that he's easily the most annoying thing to come from 'American Idol,' beyond the guy who made our number two spot on this list? Haircut. Definitely the haircut.

17. Kirsten Dunst
Not only does Kirsten Dunst not seem to be able to act her way out of a paper bag (not even when acting with scissors), but then we hear her say that 'Spider-Man' sequels wouldn't be a success without her. Oh really, Mary Jane? We're willing to take that chance.
-
Manuel Balce Ceneta
16. Anna Nicole Smith
We're a little torn on this one. After all, Anna Nicole Smith died a tragic death. Still, before that point, she was one of the least-liked celebrities for her perceived gold digging and incomprehensible rants on ... well, everything. Sorry, we tried to be meaner, but we just felt bad.

15. Freddie Prinze, Jr.
It's not just that our boy Freddie Prinze, Jr. can't act, it's that Hollywood seems so blind to that fact. Why else do they keep giving him sitcoms and movie roles? And what could Sarah Michelle Gellar possibly see in this face? Seriously, we're not kidding, Sarah. We'd appreciate an explanation.

14. Tara Reid
Oh, we're all living in 'Taradise;' we just don't know it. Whether Tara Reid is getting botched implants or just drunkenly falling off seats, she's been a never-ending source of amusement for the world at large. Sure, we hate ourselves for it ... but we hate her too, so it all balances out.

13. Brandon Davis
Brandon Davis might have made it higher on our list if we bothered to know more about him. 'Greasy Bear,' as his 'friends' call him, is so unpopular that even other young, annoying rich people want nothing to do with him. Stavros Niarchos not only refused to let him in a party, he tried to hide from our little Greasy Bear. Nice one, Brandon. The hated even hate you.

12. Isaiah Washington
It all started with rumors of fighting behind the scenes, but that erupted pretty soon into stories that Isaiah Washington had been gay-bashing his co-star T.R. Knight. Then, Isaiah decided to tell everyone at the Golden Globes exactly what he HADN'T called Knight (though Knight claims he did). Well, Isaiah, if the 'Grey's Anatomy' finale is any indication, you're gone. We hate to see you go ... no, wait, we just hate you.

11. Nicole Richie
It's hard to say what we dislike more, Nicole Richie's general wasting of her life, or what we sat through watching her and Paris Hilton on 'The Simple Life.' It didn't help matters for you to steal Hilary Duff's ex, though, Nicole. Seriously, if you're looking for a PR boost, try not stealing from America's sweetheart, eh?

10. Simon Cowell
We're a little torn on Simon Cowell. On one hand, we hate him and how rude he is to the contestants on 'American Idol.' On the other hand ... he's almost always right. Still, Simon's one example of a guy we love to hate (and would probably have nothing against outside the show), so you go right on doing what you're doing, Mr. Cowell ... the show wouldn't be the same without you.

9. Rosie O'Donnell
Whether we agree with what Rosie O'Donnell says half the time or not is not really the question. It's that she just can't seem to keep her mouth shut on anything (and no, that's not a reference to her weight, though it so could have been if we really wanted to be mean). And please, Rosie ... never make us decide between you and Donald Trump. It's a lose/lose for everyone.

8. Tom Cruise
Tom has always been a little ... let's say wacky. But ever since Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got together (notice we didn't use the term 'brain wash'), he seems to have been going over the edge to just plain nuts. From jumping on Oprah's couch to yelling at Matt Lauer, the crazy train seems to be making every stop possible. Tom, we loved you in 'Top Gun,' but that only takes you so far.

7. Kanye West
It's not hard to hate someone who jumps on stage when they lose an award, and then tells everyone why they SHOULD have won. And it's not hard to hate someone who's so arrogant that they pose as Jesus on 'Rolling Stone.' The only hard thing? Hating Kanye West when we like his music so much. OK, it wasn't THAT hard a thing.

6. Kevin Federline
Oh, K-Fed, you used to be much higher on this list. Seriously. And that's saying something. But in the past few months, you've shown yourself to be the normal one between yourself and Britney Spears, so we'll give you back a LITTLE of the love you lost when you left your pregnant girlfriend to hook up with Ms. Spears in the first place, not to mention ... well, everything about you. Just ... ugh.

5. Britney Spears
You're the exact opposite as your ex-husband, Britney Spears. We used to love you. Oh, your pushing of the envelope was a little tired, but we were all right with that. But ever since your first child was born, you've just been doing the stupidest things, and we're not even counting marrying Kevin Federline in the first place here! Now the rehab, the baldness, the lip-synching ... how much more can you train wreck, anyway?

4. Lindsay Lohan
It's as if you can hear Lindsay Lohan saying, "Yeah, you just THINK I've bottomed out!" We hear you, Linds ... everytime we think you're done, you surprise us yet again. You don't show up to jobs paying you millions, you had to enter rehab before you even turned 21 -- and then got a DUI anyway, and sometimes we just get irritated even thinking about you. That last one might just be us ... but we doubt it.

3. Mel Gibson
Oh, Mel Gibson. You're another celebrity who might have made our Most Loved list once (if we had one), but now ... yikes. Between the anti-Semitic comments (while going to jail for a DUI, mind you), the homophobic remarks and the allegations of basically any other offensive comments from being racist to hating British people of all things, you're now our third most hated celeb, Mel. You can put that with your Oscars.

Derek Storm, Retna
2. Sanjaya Malakar
Compared to everyone else on this list, Sanjaya Malakar is like a newborn level of hate. He might have just entered our lives, but now we don't know how we could have hated so much without him. From his insane hairstyles to that perpetual smile and arrogance despite being the worst singer on stage this season of 'American Idol,' we can't say anything but ... the votes are in, Sanjaya. You're our runner-up.

1. Paris Hilton
Oh, like it could have been anyone else. Paris Hilton is easily the queen of hated celebrities, to the point that people are cheering for her to go to jail for driving with a suspended license. Sure, you've got your Internet videos and reality shows, but nothing beats just plain old Paris living her spoiled, arrogant life. Ah, when it comes to our most hated celebrities, we'll always have Paris.
