Drew Carey's Likes and Dislikes

Quirky Drew Carey is spouting off about his celebrity pet peeves. After all, for the Geppetto star, honesty is the best policy.

Carey tells USA Weekend that he's fed up with stars showing off at charity benefits. "I have no patience for it. People are only there to schmooze, be seen and have their pictures taken. They say, 'We're here to stand up tonight for fill-in-the-blank.' I'm thinking, 'I'm sure you lose a lot of sleep over this issue. Just write a [expletive] check and shut up.' That's what I do."

Carey also has some choice words about the media frenzy that surrounded John Kennedy Jr.'s death last summer. "When JFK Jr. died, I didn't understand the big fuss. It drove me nuts. He was a Kennedy and he was good-looking. That was it. I'm sorry he died, but we kept hearing, 'America has lost its prince.' No we haven't. A family lost its cousin. We don't have a prince in this country."

Talk about bluntness! Carey says he's just looking for a little honesty now and then. "When you're a celebrity it's hard to find people who are honest with you. Nobody wants to tell you your fly is down or you have a booger hanging out."

There is one place, though, that Carey can always count on for a dose of reality. "Vegas is the most honest town. They're very up-front about what they do. And if you lose [at casinos], they don't accept your blues. I like that."
