Douches we love to hate

You know how I am kind of not-so-secretly addicted to trash telly? Well last night I watched the final episode of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami and I was reminded, once again, that Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick is a total douche.

So I thought I dedicate today's entry to some of my favourite douches. Fun!

The cable-knit-wearing Scott, who has a penchant for pastel and fistfuls of Dax wax, isn't alone in his doucheness - reality TV is fertile ground for dudes who appear to have no clue.

On the tame end of the douchebag-scale there's Brody Jenner from The Hills, who started out all right but turned into more of a dickwad with each passing season. He's a perfect match for Kristen, who is as unlikable as he is.

Now travel with me, if you will, to the severe end of the douchebag-scale because as long as we're talking about The Hills we really can't ignore the fact that this show has also spawned the ultimate king of the douches, Spencer Pratt.

Wow. Did you see THIS episode? Skip to 3:16 and know that the girl he's having a run-in with is his wife's sister. I get that there is an element of playing up to the cameras in order to create some drama, but dude has gone too far.

Hello Spencer, you are frightening with your crazy eyes - not to mention the obsession with crystals and determination to cause an irreparable rift between your wife and her family. What a catch.

Fortunately Spencer's other half, Heidi, had the brains (well...) to go running for the hills (excuse the pun) - but not before her sense of self worth spiralled so severely out of control that she ended up having 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day. I blame the Pratt.

In terms of big-screen douches, Mel Gibson and Christian Bale earn serious douche-points for their respective crazy man tirades (see here and here). Tom Cruise also notches up a few points for turning weird and embarrassing himself on Oprah.

In the music world douches are a dime a dozen. Hello Chris Brown! Also, John Mayer - you may be good looking at certain angles, but that doesn't mean you can get away with writing a song called Your Body is a Wonderland.

Oh, but enough about who I think is deserving of a douche award, I want to hear who you think rates highly on the douchebag scale. I've deliberately left some stones unturned (NZ douches, political douches, sports douches etc) so that you can run wild with today's theme. Also, girls can be douches too (see above about Kristen from The Hills) so feel free to take a swing at the Jennifer Love Hewitts and Paris Hiltons of this world.
