Ready for round 2? This time we feature the problematic faves & flops of the esteemed
sign! Did your fave finally make the cut? Find out inside!!
Problematic Faves Lady Gaga, March 28 Suddenly the Koons is Aries!! Born Stefani Germanotta, Gaga is having a bit of a renaissance! After the flop that was Artpop, Gaga worked with Tony Bennet and recently had a hand at acting on American Horror Story: Hotel where she played a vampire. She's problematic for keeping terrible company, and her misguided use of outdated, stereotypical terms in "Born this Way".
Rooney Mara, April 17 Two words: Tiger Lily. Also, did you know her first name is Patricia?
Kristen Stewart, April 9 God bless her for giving us Total Eclipse of the Heart in summer of 2012 just as Marriage Impossible was winding down! But yeah, she’s a total mess of a person AND a shit actor.
Michael Fassbender, April 2Great actor and a fantastic Magneto with a fine dick, this ONTD former fave had an ex levy some serious abuse charges, which were later dropped. Due to the charges being dropped, people will say that his ex was just lying but really, who knows.
Robert Downey Jr., April 4 Tony Stark is RDJ is Tony Stark. Over the years it looks like RDJ has absorbed the personality of Marvel’s billionaire playboy and fights to stay the most well paid Marvel actor. He has a well-known history of substance abuse (not problematic in itself), but he’s since cleaned up his act… but lbr, he’s kind of annoying. Has been known to defend Mel Gibson and espouse casual sexism and racism.
Jackie Chan, April 7 ONTD this is not Jet Li or Bruce Lee. If you need a primer on Jackie Chan he is definitely one of the US’ favorite Chinese actors. He does his own stunts, inspired a great cartoon and was a great foil to Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. But Jackie’s got a lot of problems. Aside from being recently named in the Panama Papers, he had an affair with Elaine Ng while still married to Joan Lin (and had a daughter he doesn’t support with Elaine), has said gross things about Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is apparently an all-around jerk.
Ewan McGregor, March 31 Who here has had a crush on this Scottish Prince? He’s adorable, he’s a good actor, and yes he is known to make questionable career choices. Ruled problematic not only because supported Roman Polanski, but worked in a film with him. HOW COULD YOU, EWAN?
William Shatner, March 22Captain Kirk! Is actually not liked by any of the remaining original series cast members; most of the actually hated him and he had the best relationship with the now late Leonard Nimoy but even that relationship had problems. He’s probably going to try to make the 50th Star Trek anniversary all about him, even though he really didn’t like Star Trek at least in the 70s.
Christopher Walken, March 31 Everyone knows Christopher Walken and his unique way of speaking and his bright blue eyes. But what a lot of people don’t know is that he probably knows something about, or is involved with Natalie Wood’s death and he ain’t saying nothing.
Shannen Doherty, April 12Oh man, where to start. She started acting as a child, notably working with Melissa Gilbert in Little House on the Prairie where she told Gilbert that she wanted to grow up to be just like her. After growing up she later slept with Melissa Gilbert’s ex-husband; upon being confronted she said, “I told you I wanted to be just like you.” She’s got a reputation for being hard to work with, leaving both 90210 and Charmed because of it.
dangerbuffalo can personally attest to her penchant for married men, but that's a story for another time.
Honorable Mentions: Emma Watson, Alyson Hannigan, Kourtney Kardashian
Flops Alec Baldwin, April 3 Famously called his daughter a pig in a voicemail. He had a vicious divorce from Kim Basinger, used a gay slur that resulted in the cancellation of his show on MSNBC, and has a general feeling of slime about him. He was hot in Beetlejuice though.
Sean Bean, April 17 Sean Bean dies a lot in movies, so much so he is basically a walking spoiler. However, while people love him for his roles and meme-ability what they might not be aware of is his history of domestic violence with his ex-wives.
Melissa Joan Hart, April 18 She’s just one of the childhood favorites that disappointed us by being a raging jackass Republican. She can be seen in God’s Not Dead 2, where she’s a teacher that imposes Christianity on her students.
Gary Oldman, March 21 One of those acting chameleons, Gary Oldman has been in several movies but has made a lot of asshole comments. He thinks people should get over Mel Gibson’s and Alec Baldwin’s racist and homophobic rants and that people shouldn’t be so politically correct. He also doesn’t like The Fifth Element!
Eddie Murphy, April 3 Fuck Eddie Murphy solely for his shitty movies. But then he’s also got a reputation for being a complete asshole. He has 9 kids with 5 women, and one of them, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, had to force a paternity test because he denied the kid was his. A long time ago he was caught with a prostitute, although he claimed to just be giving her a ride.
James Franco, April 19This mug, multi-hyphenate asshole. There’s so many things to land him on this list, but how about him hitting on a 17 year old fan (with full knowledge that she was underage and traveling with her mom!) on social media? He’s just so completely full of it; for more proof look at his tag here.
Quentin Tarantino, March 27 This culture vulture makes films that balance the line between homage and plagiarism, likes feet, and thinks he’s an honorary black guy. You’re not. Stop using the n word. Even it's JUST SO FUN JAN.
Honorable Mentions: Kate and John Gosselin, Piers Morgan, Jeremy Clarkson, Candace Cameron Bure, Peyton Manning, Alex Pettyfer, James Woods, Steven Tyler
