In 2008, Hollywood pop culture reached new heights. Audiences stalked their celebrities on screen and out in public. Fans followed them to A-list parties, events and nightclubs. They found them in VIP lounges and out of the way restaurants.

Star, National Enquirer, Ok, InTouch UsWeekly and People magazines photographed and hounded these stars. Viewers, like us, got bathed with pictures of our stars in less than flattering positions.

This year, love was in the air for several couples. They made sure we saw it. They walked in front of cameras acting all surprised. Considering, many called the paparazzi in advance! Others shielded their spouses from prying eyes. It would’ve helped not walking on the damn, Red Carpet folks! Some took their cover shots, like amateur runway models.

Here are the power couples who turned us off!

1) Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag: If Romeo and Juliet ingested a bag of crack, this would be the result.

2) Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: I watched “The Last Samurai”. But, he and his spouse should be more camera shy.

3) Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: How many more orphans will Ms. Pitt adopt? I guess “Boys Night Out” is nonexistent in their house.

4) Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles: Why the name change, “Sasha Fierce”? Are you in witness protection now?

5) Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: Didn’t Richard Gere play “American Gigolo”? What the hell did Shar Jackson see in him?

6) Britney Spears and Adnon
He’s a very, creepy guy. You wouldn’t bring him to your mutha!

7) Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Rossen: No words needed here.

8) Ivana Trump and her Italian model: She’s dressed like a peacock. He looked like a horse and carriage driver. As Stewie Griffin would say, “Coowel!”

9) John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston: How much sympathy can a “Friends” star get? I mean, John Mayer? C-mon, man!

10) A-Rod and Madonna: He sure upgraded from that Toronto stripper, huh?

HONORABLE MENTION

Vanessa Hughes and Zac Effron: If I wanted to watch a musical, there’s always “The Nutcracker”.

Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson: Ever since they got together, NFL fantasy owners began sweating bullets.

Balfazar and Sienna Miller: Didn’t see much except her boob; at every camera shot.

Enjoy your list, fans!! Watch for the Valentine’s Day Edition.
