Celebrity Defense - Community Effort!

Yeah, it's another defense game, but it's the first one to actually be both well designed AND freakin' hilarious! I need your help making it even more hilarious.

So here's the gist, you've got a horde of "Crazed Fans" (civilians) that you use to try and slow down the celebrities, your army then kills the celebrities as they wander your maze of civilians. You get money for upgrades and more Crazed Fans by killing the celebrities. You can view the attached screenshot if you want to see what it all looks like. But enough about the mechanics... Here's why I posted.

I need help thinking of some hilarious celebrities to use as the bad guys. Just post your suggestions and if I like your suggestion enough I'll add it to the list here. Your suggestion doesn't necessarily have to be the name of a celebrity, it could be the name of a character the celebrity plays, or even just a funny characteristic about the celebrity. Please don't suggest really obscure celebrities, like an actor from an 80s B movie or something. Look at the list to get an idea of what kinds of celebrities to use. Above all make sure your celebrity suggestion is HILARIOUS (the cruder, the better)! Remember, the joke celebrity should coincide with the sprites and animations of the Starcraft unit because that's all the player will see. For example, Samir Duran's sprite looks exactly like any other ghost, so you wouldn't necessarily need to pick a black celebrity for him.

Celebrity type ideas: Actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, anything in the news recently

NOTE: The following list is in order of difficulty. In other words, "1." is round 1 of the defense game, "2." is round 2. I dunno why you'd care, but maybe you do. Also, there'll be something like 30 of each celebrity to defend against. One last thing, these are ordered by how many points you get from killing them, which is what dictates how many minerals you get... in other words, the order of this list can't be changed.

1. Zerglings - Brangelina's Rainbow Babies
2. SCVs - Christopher Reeve (I know he's dead, like I said, the cruder the better)
3. Probes - Britney Spears' Wigs
4. Drones -
5. Firebats -
6. Zealots -
7. Jim Raynors (Marine) -
8. Medics -
9. Jim Raynors (Vulture) -
10. Hydralisks -
11. Goliaths -
12. Gui Montags (Firebat) -
13. Fenixes (Zealot) -
14. Hunter Killers (Hydralisk) -
15. Dragoons -
16. Alexei Stukovs (Ghost) -
17. Sarah Kerrigans (Ghost) -
18. Samir Durans (Ghost) -
19. Infested Durans -
20. Alan Schezars (Goliath) -
21. Fenixes (Dragoon) -
22. Ultralisks -
23. Archons -
24. Torrasques (Ultralisk) -

because he and jack bauer would be completely unfair. The player has no chance to win. They might as well be invincible.

Also, why is dt last?

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
