 Long-Lasting Celebrity Relationships (52 person items)"Ricky Gervais has been dating Jane Fallon since 1982. They met while both were studying at the University of London and have chosen not to get married because of religious belief...... or lack thereof. They have been living together since 1984.
Ricky: "I haven't turned up on a white horse. Our romantic moments are mucking around together."

 Actors/Actresses I Dislike (31 person items)"Truly, the worst person who ever lived without question. And I like British comedy!
edit: "Flanimals" are amazing, so I suppose he isn't quite the worst person who ever lived, but he's still damn close. Being a loud-mouth, rude, crass dick with an obnoxious voice (coming from someone who actually LIKES English accents) is not inherently funny if you have no clever material"
