New Year's Day 2013: 10 Biggest Idiots of 2012
10. Alex Reid Ive met Alex Reid. Hes actually quite a nice guy, hes not a bad fighter either. In truth I didnt even consider him for the list, but after a quick straw poll with some celeb addict friends Ive reluctantly added him. The crux of this is the way hes supposedly treated his girlfriend, and his general idiotic demeanor when hes selling all his intimate stories to toilet paper manufacturers. Its also because of his so-called sex dungeon (some girls just dont appreciate an open minded man), oh and he was sleeping with men whilst married. Perhaps she felt left out, she was surely having an affair with herself in the mirror every day anyway right?? Absolute truth is I believe nothing Ive read about him, all these stories are purposefully crafted to sell magazines with barely a lace-thread of truth running through its entirety. If you believe it all, then here I present you the biggest celebrity because hes a celebrity idiot of the year, everyones favourite cross-dressing cave dweller, its Alex Reid. If you dont believe it and generally try to ignore all this weary drivel, then move on- youre sure to hate the next one! 9. Helen Flanagan One of my (many) guilty pleasures in life comes in December with a cheeky Geordie duo and their bundle of tricks in the jungle. Along came the usual motley assortment. One fat, one short and one lean and so on. And, as usual, the glorious British public decided to pick on one person, this time some Ostrich looking creature that apparently used to be in a soap and has a ghastly tattoo on her arm. Usually Celebs try in these situations, if not the first time then at least the second or third. Theyd at least get one star and some food. But Helen?? None, absolutely none for 5 days. All she did was scream, moan, quit and cry until one day she did a trial and got EVERY star. Ahhhhh so youre a prissy little drama queen whos finally realised youre better off by trying. Its not like shes been any better since she escaped the jungle either, with regular mishaps occurring, purely in an attempt to be noticed. Helen Flanagan, for being a whiney, attention- hungry, leech of an excuse for an actress we hereby pronounce you the 9th biggest Idiot of the year. 8. The Media Number 8 goes to everyone involved in a media controversy during the year. Set against the backdrop of the Leveson inquiry, 2012 has thrown up an extraordinary amount of media professional idiots. Unruly newspaper reports, unsavoury behaviour by some of the countries biggest stars, endless cases of tax avoidance and even Philip Schofield subjecting ITV to a 6 figure fine have all helped to put these people up in the higher echelons of our disdain, are they the new bankers?? A lot of what's happened seems like a knee jerk reaction to the un-regulated nature of Twitter, for fear of the blogging site spreading news much sooner than the traditional news organisations are able to-- but the fact is, these people in high positions of influence took their eye off the ball, and their integrity has suffered as a result. For idiotic behaviour that'll have the furthest reaching consequences of all from this list, 'The Media' we award you with position number 8, you bunch of self-deluded IDIOTS!
