Kanye West

Kanye West has been voted the most hated celebrity several times over. He publicizes his self-centeredness and his overall "I'm the greatest nobody else matters" attitude. He's dislike for several reasons, his arrogance is one of them, but most notably is when he interrupted Taylor Swift as she received her first VMA award to tell her, and the world that Beyonce should have won instead. His disregard for others makes him a prominent feature on these "hated celebrity" lists.

But he also does some good. Kanye West gave an hour and a half of his time to a charity event where people were wrapping holiday gifts for kids, he dropped in unannounced for the New Yorkers for Children's "Wrap to Rap" event. In addition to wrapping gifts for kids the New York Post, ran a story about West after he and Jay-Z took over the second floor of the SoHo hotel to produce their new collaborative album, they invited the staff to the Watch The Throne concert. West and Jay-Z were apparently "well looked-after" and wanted to show their gratitude to each member of the establishment's team. "We were all provided with complimentary tickets, and Kanye personally thanked each team member for attending," one insider told the publication.

Justin Bieber

This 17 year old kid owns a Cadillac and he turned it into what he calls a "batmobile" and what I call a travesty. He's another celeb that's been voted most hated more than once. Justin hasn't really done anything to make people hate him, except....he just is. I think people are sick of seeing mediocre talent rise to meteoric fame. He's 17, he acts like he's a gangster (from the mean streets of Canada eh?), and he dresses horribly.

But The Biebs apparently isn't all bad--he's a giver. He grew up poor in Canada and used to frequent food banks. He claims he's never forgotten those hard times and therefore does what he can to help others. Bieber has given money, effort and his time to many charitable causes, including his own charity 'Believe Charity Drive,' the 'Make a Wish Foundation','Pencils for Promise' (a group founded and ran by manager Scooter Braun's brother, Adam) and to other causes. He's also given a great deal of his time toward anti-bullying and to getting the message out there that texting and driving is dangerous recording a bunch of PSA's. Bieber recently donated $100,000 to a Las Vegas Elementary school, performed a Christmas concert there and then gave the kids $100,000 worth of presents. Then after taking the stage at a charity concert in Toronto Wednesday night, The Biebs cut a $500,000 check for the local Children’s Wish Foundation.

He's won several awards, a recent example was an award that he received in Europe; while winning the Best Pop Male and Best Pop Vocalist at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2011 he also won the Voices award, given annually at the MTV EMAs to honor celebrities making a difference by contributing to charities.

Rebecca Black

Rebecca Black is the YouTube sensation that made it big. She's hated by America for bring one of the most annoying songs into our lives. Friday, Friday, Friday, it's repetitiveness gets this piece of junk stuck in your head for days.

Rebecca Black has made bank from this silly song, and has been on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Extra etc. Instead of sitting around drinking in her fame and hording her money Rebecca is donating profits from "Friday" to her school and Japan Relief. At least something good came out of that song.

LeBron James

LeBron James swore he'd bring a championship to his home state of Ohio. SWORE IT. But then in 2010 he had a long, drawn out press conference about how he was leaving Ohio (without a championship) and signing with Miami. Not only was he breaking a promise, he took WEEKS to announce it, then another half an hour on ESPN.

However,Lebron James recently made a donation to a gym in Los Angeles. The good deed was to the Boys & Girls Club gym, notes News One. Along with donating to a gym, LeBron James' longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, started a contest in which someone in the Boys' and Girls' Club of Miami-Dade crowd would be selected to win a bedroom makeover, valued at $500, featuring American Signature’s HomeCourt by LeBron James Collection. The little girl that was chosen had a rough story her family home had been robbed twice in the last eight months. The mother explained that after the first time they replaced all that they could. But the second time – they gave up. They didn’t replace any of the stolen items. So what was supposed to be a $500 bedroom makeover became a $7,000 donation that included a custom bedroom personally designed by Grimmett. All made possible through James.
5

John Mayer

John Mayer has been on the ""hated celeb"" radar for a while, most people are sick of Mayer because he seems to talk about the girls he's dated and banged nonstop. He has no class, or tact when it comes to who he's bringing into his bed and what they do, and how they are. I mean, the guy kisses and tells worse than a 13 year old girl. He does it to himself, exhibit A:

""MAYER: My two biggest hits are 'Your Body Is a Wonderland' and 'Daughters.' If you think those songs are pandering, then you'll think I'm a douche bag. It's like I come on very strong. I am a very…I'm just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can't handle very, then I'm a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That's why black people love me.

PLAYBOY: Because you're very?

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n***** pass."

Playboy interview, 2010

He's also called his penis a white supremacist.

When Mayer isn't sleeping with hot girls he doesn't deserve, he supports (donates time and money to) the following charities:
Bridge School
Bring Change 2 Mind
Exploring The Arts
Grammy Foundation
HeadCount
Live Earth
Malaria No More
Michael J. Fox Foundation
Military Outreach Ministry Camp Pendleton
MusiCares
NCIRE - the Veterans Health Research Institute
rock CAN roll
Save The Music Foundation
Tiger Woods Learning Center

Miley Cyrus

Why people dislike Miley Cyrus: she's annoying, she has horrible music, her father is Billy Ray Cyrus, she makes an obscene amount of money for a teenager, she was extremely over publicize.

She also tweets about serious issues and gets people involved: "If we allow gay marriage next thing u know people will be marrying gold fish" – Rick Santorum UO (Urban Outfitters) contributed $13,000 to this mans (sic) campaign." She started a boycott of Urban Outfitters due to their anti-gay chairman. She's done a lot of work trying to get young people involved in politics, and interested in gay rights. Check out Miley's amazing article on same-sex marriage here.

She also participated in a PSA for To Write Love On Her Arms a non-profit helping people deal with addiction, depression, and self harm.

Lindsay Lohan

Another in a long list of celebs we're sick of hearing about is Lindsay Lohan. The back and forth with Samantha Ronsen, the drinking, partying, arrests, her train wreck of a life. We're over it. Every thing Lohan does seems like a publicity stunt. But what's not so publicized about her is her charity work.

Lohan rallied fans to support hunger organizations, In 2008, Lindsay Lohan became the face and sponsor of Visa Swap, a London event where millions of people can swap unwanted clothes. Not only did the event promote recycling and reduce the waste created by discarded items, any left over items that no-one swapped were donated to TRAID, a charity that reduces waste by reselling unwanted clothes. She sold signed luggage for charity in which Jet Blue pledged a dollar for every entry received on the charities Facebook page, and in 2010 she teamed up with London’s event space Altitude London to raise money for the British Red Cross in order to aid Haiti.

Kesha

She just seems dirty. Something about Kesha rubs people the wrong way. A lot of people complained about her use of auto tune claiming it's because she can't sing,that her music lacks substance (example: "blah blah blah" as a song lyric), she was over played on the radio, she spells her name with a dollar sign, the list goes on and on.

Kesha has a deep love of animals and often donates proceeds from charity concerts to animal rights, and shelters. She also works raising AIDS awareness and donates to the cause, and is partnered with The Trevor Project which offers support for Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender people in emotional crisis.

Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton is someone who makes a living and a name for himself by drawing penis's on people's faces and making fun of them. At an event in Vancouver Hilton was confronted by Fergie and Will.I.Am, the two Black Eyed Peas told Perez to stop writing about the band on his website, the Black Eyed Peas manager proceed to punch Perez in the face, Perez responded by calling them ""fa***ts"". He then sued for emotional distress and battery. He is a huge advocate for GLAAD and The Trevor Project and Gay Rights, but he threw around a derogatory term under the guise of ""I am one, so I can say that."" People were not pleased.

Aside from bringing us massive amounts of celebrity trash and causing unnecessary drama all his own Perez also works with PETA, AIDS Foundations, and participated in a charity for Shoe Dazzle, he submitted a shoe called ‘Shine’ designed by Perez Hilton it was a pair of silver metallic trainers with lush stud and zip embellishments. the unisex shoes were sold for almost 80 dollars with 100% of profits going to Stonewall; Britain’s leading lesbian, gay and bisexual equality charity, which seeks to secure equal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people at home, at school and at work.

In addition to that he teamed up with CharityBuzz.com and gave someone the chance to meet with Perez for 30 minutes in LA to write for his blog, the auction was for the 21st birthday of Rock the Vote.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian always makes the most hated list, and recently was voted the celebrity with the worst manners. From her diva drama on her TV show, to her 72 day marriage in which she made millions and all of it was televised spectacle, America has had it with this chick.

Kim does do a lot for charity, instead of returning all her wedding presents she donated the amount that was equal to the gifts to The Dream Foundation, she travel to Haiti to help aid in the recovery and is teamed up with American Foundation for AIDS Research, Diamond Empowerment Fund,Generation Rescue, I Heart My Girlfriends, Mattel Children's Hospital
