Martha Stewart. She and a few other famous people not mentioned here...Barry Bonds who said this gem"Congress has bigger things to deal with than steroids in baseball"...I know why Mister Inflated Ego Bonds said that..cause he's a STEROID ADDICT!

and Ms. Kevin Federline aka Britney the sleazy Spears...She probably even has the nanny kiss her baby goodnight while she and scuzzy Kevin live it up!!

Oprah - She used to be likable, but she just comes off as "God" to me. Her show has made women turn into clapping, hollering hormonal, weeping robots - Ughh.. I guess I just don't like all that "girly" talk and gossip.

Oh, I didn't see Trump.  For a comparitive of three or greater, you need to ask: "Whose ego is most out of control?"

The thing is Trump's ego isn't out of control, it's just suffocatingly colossal.  Donald Trump is the perfect example of the difference between "material wealth" and "class."  The latter is tooootalllly absent from Trump.

not on the list....but IMO, Star Jones. That woman is very egotistical, especially since her recent weight loss.

I pretty much agree.

Not that I don't think she's intelligent and has worked hard to get where she is, but - even though I watched tons of talkshows back in the day - she just NEVER appealed to me at all.

I was never quite sure of how to word it before, but she does somehow kinda come off as a "I'm better than everyone else" or "God" personality.

I agree, too, about her being intelligent. I mean, I know she had a very rough upbringing and she's survived a lot of adversity, but now it just comes off as exploitation. Things are over dramatized on her show.
It's more of a frenzy, than a "talk show."

I can't stand Oprah at all >:( 

Apparently her opinion matters to alot of people.  If Oprah says it sucks, then of course it sucks and everyone agrees  ::)
And plus, why is she on the cover of every issue of her magazine?  I mean, she's in the spotlight enough as it is.  Give someone else a chance >:(

I think Dr. Phil made the best move of his career when he ditched her for his own show  ;D

you know what's funny about him....I have watched several shows of his...and people come on there with these serious problems and they really want/need help....THE MAN NEVER GIVES THEM HELP!!  He goes over their problem...over and over again...and maybe says one or two things about it....but NEVER gives them thorough solutions to what they can do to resolve it correctly. Then at the end of every single show....he meets his wife in the audience and walks out with her as she mutters, "oh that was a good show, etc."....whatever!

Just because a guy bites the big one doesn't mean he can't help ya out!
Dr. Phil is like the dude who wrote "The Purpose Driven Life," I can't say those guys are wong in what they say, they just bug the cr#p out of me.  I say, "oh gawd, not this guy again!," and grab the remote.

I am all for people who give advice, say things to help out a person, etc...but it just seems like (IMO) that everytime I watch Dr. Phil...he never really says anything profound or substantial, concerning the subject matter. He kind of blows by with a sentence or two regarding the subject...and then the show ends. For example....I caught yesterday's show a bit and there was a segment about a guy who was completely racist, and his daughter was having a bi-racial baby...so the guy WANTED and was seeking help. The most that Dr. Phil did was say that he was going to try to find some black families that would be willing to spend some time with this guy to show him that they are the same as he is, etc.  All he did was recap all of the comments that the guy had made, regarding what he thought about his situation, and he introduced the guy to part of his staff, who happened to be black...but that's about as far as it went.  That's all I am saying...I mean, he seems like a nice enough guy...but he is never thorough enough.

That's so goofy!  Imagine Dr. Phil calling you up and saying, "Can you spare an hour to help out a racist.  I mean, he doesn't like Black people, so he's not gonna like you...not at first."
WTF?

I think Britney wouldn't be partying that much now that she's had a baby, plus I don't think she would have a nanny kiss her baby goodnight. I think by now she would have changed at least some of the things she does in her daily life to accommodate the life and needs of her new baby son.
