Why he might be annoying
He is mincing and effeminate.
His official biography describes him as 'a single man-about-town' (gee, wonder what that means).
His criticism can be incredibly shallow.
He often seems to think he's being clever, when in reality he's just being bitchy.
He starred in 'Myra Breckinridge,' considered by many critics to be one of the worst movies of all time.
'The Village Voice' exposed that he sent assistants to conduct interviews and then claimed it was his own work.
He was arrested for shoplifting CDs in Manhattan (2000).
For a man, he goes a little heavy on the eye makeup.
Why he might not be annoying
He worked his way up from nothing.
He became a famous celebrity interviewer in the 1960's.
He was Johnny Carson's frequent guest on 'The Tonight Show.'
Some people love his bitchy quips.
