But in AJ's case, I have such fundamental disagreements with so many of the things she has said and done, I have lost my "separate-ability." So, for myself, I decided it's just better to stay away. I don't read about her (gossip or serious interviews or anything else) and I won't watch her in movies.

That's interesting! I have a pretty good separatability, too. I can watch Tom Cruise, for example, with no problem. The only actor I can think of who I might draw the line with is Mel Gibson. Though if Mel were in a really good movie (which he hasn't been, IMO, in quite a while), it's possible I might go see him. My moral standards in this area are pretty lax :laugh: -- either that, or where movies is concerned, I got no resistance.
Now, my husband has a long list of actors he refuses to see in a movie -- many of them seemingly innocent people. Cher, Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis ... if anyone has ever annoyed him on a talk show or something, that's it for that person. Though I probably could talk him into seeing something if it was really really good.
How about the rest of you? What actor(s)/ess(es) do you refuse to go see?

I can only think of one actor that I avoid like the plague: Steven Seagal. That's because of his lack of acting talent and his sleazy personal life.
I'm getting pretty sick of Will Ferrel, lol!

Tell you what, I don't know anything about his personal life and I don't think I've ever seen him act, but I have no problem avoiding his movies! ;D

Steven Seagal! Yuk!
There was a Steven Seagal movie on almost every day during the summer (summer is a very slow tv season over here). I actually didn't know he'd made that many. Or maybe they were reruns, no one would probably notice anyway. I can watch him act ::) for 5 minutes maximum. Awful movies, really awful.
