This year, young Hollywood erupted. The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, MTV and VH-1 gave us heavy doses of the pubescent and privileged. Shows, like “The Hills”, “The Wizards of Waverly Place”, “Brooke Knows Best” and others put ideas in our heads that the young and hot are “it”.

In reality, the young and hot ain’t (other words). They have the big-movie contracts. They have the network marketing machines. Take all of that away. They have as much dysfunction and disorder as we do. Their mistakes aren’t able to disappear as OXY 10 does to their pimples.

We loved to watch them. We loved reading about them. We even loved to poke fun at them. They’re the over-exposed. They’re the followed too often and stalked for no reason. They are the Most Irritating Celebrities Under 25.

1. Spencer Pratt

This year, nothing said “I’m a b*” better than admitting to make money off your girlfriend. Pratt displayed the culture of effeminate men in today’s society. These are individuals who needed women to support their lifestyles. Judge Joe Brown said on many occasions.

“I’m protecting womanhood and promoting manhood.” Pratt never got the memo.

2. Heidi Montag

Last week, Miss Enabler decided to marry her poser boyfriend. Despite the obvious, she maintained her devotion to Spencer Pratt against her Mom’s advice. Pratt allegedly told the Ms. Montag to “take a chill pill”. I bet the mom wished she’d taken that “the pill” two decades ago.

3. Miley Cyrus

It used to be that having multiple personalities wasn’t cool. For three years, Cyrus played pop star, Hanna Montana on the Disney Channel. Her rock-star dad, “Achy Breaky” Billy Ray starred second-fiddle to his more famous daughter.

However, Cyrus morphed from lovable, child star to a diva-in-training giving two-finger, peace signs to paparazzi. She posed for a provacative, black and white photo with her dad. She has a 20 year-old, underwear model living in her multi-million dollar mansion. Apparently, the bedroom doors are “always open”. *Ahem*

During her Hanna Montana music tour, she reaped a $1 billion dollars in ticket and merchandise sales and other revenue for Disney. When a lot of money is made, certain things are excused.

4. Lindsay and Ali Lohan

Lindsay Lohan earned the nicknames “Firecrotch” and “Red Snapper” from late-night show host, Chelsea Handler. Ali Lohan has her mom, Dina helping with her music career. The dad, Michael, remained criticizing Lindsay’s behavior and booking celebrity fight matches.

Since Parent Trap, Lindsay hasn’t acted in a successful movie. She received millions to do pictures. However, her projects crashed at the box office. Police arrested her for DUI and cocaine possession. She “solved” the problem by spending hours in a rehab facility. Allegedly, she shared beds with several, A-list celebrities including Colin Farrell and the ageless, Mickey Rourke. In more controversy, she referred to Barack Obama as America’s first “colored president”. She also changed her hairstyle from red, to blonde and back to red again. And finally, she and popular L.A. deejay, Samantha Rossen, enjoyed “private times”, but admitted nothing about being gay lovers.

On the E channel’s show, “Living Lohan”, Ali is bullied at school because of her older sister’s fame. But, she decided to begin a music career; instead of studying to be a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher or a flight attendant. Her stay-at-home “momager” has both daughters in show business. Ali has some freckled footsteps and police mugshots to follow.

5) The Jonas Brothers

They are the big deal in 2008. Their peculiar hair transcended television cameras. Their albino complextions overcame California’s rolling blackouts. Nick, Joe and The Other One (another Chelsea Lately moniker) continued selling out concerts, serving fans their abstinence “kool-aid” and sporting purity rings. Nick and Joe courted, and then dumped Miley Cyrus and country singing star, Taylor Swift. They maintained their Christian pledge to no premartial sex. Their fans ate the message up.

However, some of their fans acted with fanatical behavior. When comedian, Chelsea Handler poked fun at the Jonas Brothers appearance on “American Idol”, E channel’s “Chelsea Lately” received loads of hate mail. Some letters included death threats against Ms. Handler. Children, preteens and teenagers scripted obscene and foul mouthed rants, like “Chelsea Handler can go die in a whole!” One called her a “huge, bitch whore”. These are kids doing this! One confused preteen said that the Jonas Brothers were bigger than The Beatles in Texas. So were The Branch Dividians (Waco). What happened with that.

Here are 2008’s Most Irritating Celebrities Under 25. There are others who just missed the list.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Selena Gomez: Disney wanted a replacement for meglomanic, Miley Cyrus. Are Wizards able to perform disappearing acts on themselves?

Dakota Fanning: “Little Miss Sunshine” earned another Oscar nomination. She started to “smell herself” a little; courtesy of rapper E-40.

Zac Effron: Another “High School Musical” made little impression on me.

Vanessa Hughes: If you hate being stalked, don’t give directions to the $5 million-dollar mansion you just purchased.

Brooke Hogan: I gave a pass because she’s easy on the eyes. Her singing was torture on my ears. “Brooke Knows...” her brother, Nick, has a little Spencer Pratt in him. Not good
