Over the past 10 years, we — as in the American public — have witnessed some truly heinous acts of douchebaggery. And so we here at The Frisky felt the need to bring you the 10 nastiest, grossest, lamest dudes of the 2000s.

It’s hard to believe that Brittany Murphy suddenly passed away. We are all in shock but it seems to be hitting the celeb community hard. Everyone is in mourning, especially those who knew and loved her. Like ex and co-star Ashton Kutcher. Before he got with Demi, he and Murphy were shacking up off screen when they starred in the (really bad – I’m sorry … it’s true) rom-com “Just Married.” Yesterday Ashton tweeted about Brittany’s death. “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon.” Later he added, “See you on the other side kid.” Sweet of him … yes. But does that “see you on the other side” comment creep anyone else out? After the jump, some more celebrity tweets about Brittany’s death. As a side note, I’m in mourning about the frequent misspelling of her name by her peers. [US Weekly]

When I think of the “nerds” from my childhood, I think of Steve Urkel, Screech, and all characters played by Anthony Michael Hall. Ummm, no thanks. Luckily, a whole new kind of nerd emerged in the 2000s—the nerdy guy who is actually smoking hot once you take away his Dungeons and Dragons gamers’ guide. It was hard to choose just 10 nerds who got my pocket protector thumping this decade. But here are my picks for the hottest nerds of the decade.

Let’s start with Andy Samberg. I’ll never forget that wonderful evening in 2005 when “Saturday Night Live” aired a sketch called “Lazy Sunday” where two nerds rap about “The Chronicles of Narnia.” Only Andy was the dreamiest rapping nerd I had ever seen. With that Jew-fro and that sense of humor, he is certainly a contendah for my fave nerd eva! Word!
