- Lady Gaga. No idea what people sees in her. Wearing strange clothes someone else designed is not a talent.
- Johnny's in general
- Hoshino Aki. I know why she's popular, still... not sure why she's anywhere else besides idol videos.

All of them - especially these so-called "talents" or "tarento", which is actually an oxymoron because they have none.

"Japanese or foreign"?

I would say for 99% of the readership of this site, Japanese ARE foreign.

Tiger Woods and the Japanese Women's Curling Team, and of course all of the talentos. They're so annoying.

Michael Jackson, though it finally seems to be dying down. Why so many people idolized that kiddy fiddler is entirely beyond me...

I'm kind of glad the Olympics are over. I was getting tired of seeing and hearing about Lindsey Vonn and Anton Ono.

Anyone with the term "chan" connected to their name, and all the ones here in Japan who have decided to adopt a single name, in CAPITAL letters.

90% of them are lame but some are genuinly quick and funny. The problem is they over expose them.

I am very sick of SMAP and anybody who comes out of that creepy society known as Jonny's.

Tiger Woods, those losers from Jersey Shore and The Hills, washed out celebrities who commit suicide or injure themselves in some way.

tabana - Gaga is hardly just a clothes hanger. She is a designer (clothes, sets..), she's a dedicated musician, she's a great singer, she's a great songwriter, she's a great dancer and performer.

Not really attributes to group with the jonny set.

And I do agree with your choice of jonnies as being pretty hard to take.

Well, I'm not too keen on foreign celebrities unless it's Angelina Jolie, including Japanese ones like those girly boy type bands that are too numerous to list, nor that leathery-faced omni-presence Mino Monta, but, a little closer to home I'd have to nominate John Terry and Wayne Bridge, if celebrities they are, it's enough to give one a groin strain whilst hoofin' it down the right wing, squire.

Hands down - Ishida Junichi. I have no idea what talent this guy has other than prance around with no sox and grope young girls on quiz shows.........

On the US side, Kate and John - their own immaturity and narcissm plus their complete disregard for their children's welfare ought to be enough to have both of them thrown in jail.......

Beckie & Becky-Becky the caucasian you tube star. Becky the "haafu" very annoying squeaky voice girl.- All actors, actresses,& musicians doing commericals to buy HD TV's. I really do not need an old musician to tell me this television is good. Micheal Jackson's father & family who need to stay out of the camera spotlight. It's toooo much, even the children need to stay away from the camera.

any of those "tarentos" from variety shows, pathetic movies or lame pop singers. I want to hear from serious actors and musicians with something one can admire about their craft and personality.

I dont want to hear about stupid "best jeans wearers" wanting a wedding ring or old men wanting love scenes with younger female costars.

I had enough!

I am tired of none of them because I pay no attention to stories about them. It's easy to do.

I have to agree. The costumes she wear are really distracting people from her musical talents. This girl can really sing and she plays the piano. Her live performance of Speechless put other so-called singers to shame.

Why are people talking about British stars? They're hardly seen in Japan. The only ones I get sick of are the Beckhams, and we only get to see them when they're in Japan. The wife is about as relevant to this world as Paris Hilton. Sick of most of the J-tarentos too.

Gaga and Woods. I've never seen their work, but I still hear way too much about them.

Ebi-chan, why is a 30 year old called -Chan?

-chan can simply be a term of endearment. It is not necessarily a term for little girls.

"Lady" GaGa. Not sure why ANYONE can insist she can sing and perform, other than they must have an extremely limited view of those attributes.

Becky. God, that girl and her attempts at eternal "cuteness" get on my nerves.

And that girl that was in The Last Samurai currently doing makeup and tv commercials. Can't stand her. Want to reach into the TV and punch her in the mug.

And sorry.... Obama and anyone connected to healthcare reform. You had a supermajority, and you blew it. There was no way for the GOP to obstruct, so quit whining on and on about your own feckless ways and either shove it thru or start working on something important... like jobs and the economy.

Angelina Jolly would be the one that makes me change the channel. However, I can't get enough of the Japanese environment minister Mr. Katsuya Okada. He's definitely the best value for money entertainer on the scene at present.

Almost any of the regular night time TV figures; but to paraphrase one long-gone Mainichi writer , 'If they were to be suddenly taken off the air? Well, let's say dinner might start to taste funny for many Japanese.'

Loki520 - could you please expand on your dissing of Gaga.

Is it based on rational, in-the-know facts or is it just your personal "jeez, I think..."???

Many artists music/persona doesn't grab me, but that doesn't mean they are talentless.

All of them. Why are people interested in them anyway? Now, THERE's a discussion we need to have.
