Who Is the Least D-baggish Celeb?

So a friend recently posed the question of, ” In your opinion what guy celebrity, or known figure is the exact opposite of douchey?”

This is a tough one.  I mean, really.  The public/known persona of a celebrity versus the real, private character can sometimes be strikingly at odds.  Case in point, Bing Crosby…whose public persona was that of a kind, smooth-singing uncle, though it has come out that he was in fact an abusive parent.  But anyways, to keep it brief, i couldn’t come up with just one answer, rather, i had to respond with three:

1) Gary Coleman - because when you have some sort of renal affliction that causes you to look like you are 8 years old your entire life, it is  fairly impossible for your antics to be considered douchey compared to normal mortals…you have a congenital kidney disease that causes focal segmental glomerulosclerosisrenal affliction and makes you look like a kid, and you have had two kidney transplants and frequent dialysis AND you are a celebrity.

2) Clint Eastwood - because clint makes great movies as an actor and a director, was a well-intentioned mayor and can still pulverize you even though he is 79.  AND he did a couple of movies where he costar was an orangutan…

clint

3) Ronnie Lott - because he is the greatest player to ever play football.  He did not shoot himself in the leg at a nightclub or run dog fighting rings.  Because he had his pinky amputated as a result of tackling Timmy Newsome and not wanting to leave the game, he is a known community contributor and well, because he is the greatest player to ever play football.

Before There Was Chucky, There Was Scoopy

Get a load of this clown.

For a purveyor of a fun-time treat, he sure does look creepy.

Let’s take a closer look at Scoopy, shall we?

Check out his ‘hat’ and the creepy-yet-patriotic brows.

They don’t emote feelings of fun times…though they do make me think of fireworks.

Check out his eyes - do they look happy to you???

They look like Clint Eastwood’s from Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo as he glares out into the distance, looking for Lee Van Cleef.

Anyhoo, i think i’m gonna send in for the scoopy doll, and put it in a thunderdome-like-cage with a Chucky doll and a whole bunch of medieval weapons, and see who is left standing.
