5 Annoying Celebrity Couples (Not Named Chad Kroeger And Avril Lavigne)


Well, well, well. Kim may have been the first girl that Chad Kroeger kissed—though nerves, it should be pointed out, almost made him miss (?)—but Avril Lavigne is gonna be the first girl ol’ Chad walks down the aisle.

That’s right, the Nickelback frontman is Avril’s new Skater Boy, as evidenced by the rocker’s August 8th proposal. Let’s just hope he doesn’t write the wedding vows lest the wedding guests be force fed yet another heaping helping of Kroeger’s heavy-handed sentimentality.

And I’m with Amalah on this one—they both bug. And now that they’ll be rock-and-roll royalty, I’m beyond frusTRATED. Because we’re gonna get a healthy dose of those clowns till divorce do they part. Which means by the time it’s all said and done with, I guarantee they’ll rank among the most annoying couples in pop culture history.

Here’s a peek at five other couples who evoked similar cringe factors.

Kenny Chesney and Renée Zellweger

Dating rule #37: never sorta marry a cowboy-beach-type dude who’s idea of dressing up is taking off his puka beads.

In my opinion, these guys did us all a big favor by keeping this thing short and sweet. Renée went on being Renée and Kenny went on trying a little too hard to make us all believe he’s a player, when at the end of the day, all he really appears to be is a closeted balding guy who enjoys paddle boarding with his weird-looking dog.

Britney Spears and K-Fed

 5 Annoying Celebrity Couples (Not Named Chad Kroeger And Avril Lavigne)

As a stepdad, I’ll be the first to admit that I was rooting for these wacky kids. (Okay, no I wasn’t. I loathed them. Still, play along.) After all, I’m a sucker for a blended family, and the coolest thing about this couple was that Britney became a stepmom. To a stepdaughter she’d never met by the time they were engaged. (Practical.)

And there was another stepchild she’d not met, either. But that’s okay. No one had. K-Fed’s ex was still pregnant with her when the two got engaged. More proof (not that you needed it) that K-Fed was one classy guy.

 Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen

There’s no hiding chemistry, y’all.

I actually didn’t mind these guys all that much. I mean, look at ‘em. Such a cute couple and all. But once they hooked up, Flav and Sylvester Stallone became Peter-in-laws and that’s kinda what sent me south on them.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie

It almost looks like she’s gagging. Or at least about to hock up an oyster in his mouth.

I’m sorry, y’all. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever believe that they were a legitimate couple. Which is exactly why they were so horrendous. And that kiss, regrettably, is forever etched into my mind’s eye. Which is so very, very unfortunate. I would have rather watched an 80-year-old man masturbate than that awkward debacle.

J Lo and Ben Affleck

As if Gigli wasn’t bad enough

Don’t be fooled by the rocks that she’s got. She’s just, she’s just Jenny from the block. Till she became Bennifer, that is. Remember these clowns? They were intolerable. I mean, first, he took out an ad praising her for her professionalism during the filming of Gigli. And by professionalism, I’m reasonably certain he meant ambiguously large, yet undeniably alluring ass. Then, once they became an item, they got all PDA on us like immature and psychologically wounded adolescents.

But what made them truly horrendous was the lyrics to her song “Dear Ben”: I write this song to let you know, that you will always be to me my lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend, and my king.

Check, please.

Alright, people. Who did I miss? (TomKat seemed too obvious…)

    Ew. That is what I say to myself every time I see that picture of Michael and Lisa Marie.

    For me, the most annoying celebrity couple of all time is and forever will be Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. I’m so glad those two fell off the radar, and I know that by even mentioning their names right here I am putting us all in danger of their inevitable comeback, sort of how like if you say “Beetlejuice” three times he appears. Nobody else say those names ever again, okay?

    I’m sorry I brought it up.

      you know what’s funny — they never came to my mind. but if they had, you can bet your bottom dollar they would have gotten a shout-out. they were list-worthy for sure!

    • SuzyQuzey

      Damn you, Amber! How dare you speak those names?

  • MollyGMartin

    Renee Zellweger and anyone. I’d say her dating life is performance art but I don’t think she’s that good at performing…

    • http://johncaveosborne.com John Cave Osborne

      you know why you think she’s not that good at performing? b/c she’s not. i spent so long despising each individually that when they came together, it was like an embarrassment of riches of sorts…

    oh god, you made me think of the clip where he kisses her ass on that yacht. Blarghhhhh. I’m not one for PDA besides hand-holding and a quick peck so… and dude, poo comes out of that general area! What are you doing kissing the poo?! THE POO!

    • http://johncaveosborne.com John Cave Osborne

      ha ha! i’d forgotten all about that debacle. so, really, now YOU made me thinking about the clip where he kisses her ass on that yacht. horrendous!

  • Jeff

    Very well conceived list. However, you left out Liza Minelli and David Gest. (honorable mention perhaps?) I mean, no-one really knows what went on with them, thankfully. But that kiss is what is really burned into our collective psyche, right?!

    • http://johncaveosborne.com John Cave Osborne

      oh my god, you’re so right it’s a joke. didn’t she beat him up or something?

  • SuzyQuzey

    Avril and that Nickelback whatshisname aren’t even on the waiting list to become rock-and-roll royalty. Thankfully.

    Renee Zellweger was a beard.
