Is anyone else tired of hearing these words uttered by entertainers?

Sometimes, yes.
Though, I'm also tired of hearing these words uttered by combat players:
pwn, j00, teh, uber, and leet.
So, I suppose your mileage varies greatly.
Now, what was the intended point of your thread here?

My intended point, if it was not obvious, was that dancers and musicians can chat - using real words and phrases - rather than utter one word cliches.

Awww, Abilla, I understand exactly where you're coming from. hehe.
As I've said a few times on the forum the whole flirty chat style is not my cup of tea. No offense to those who use it to their advantage as entertainers, but it's just not me to be all "cutesy." /giggle.

If I find something slightly humerous, I say hehe, sometimes I /giggle (not say giggle), can't saw I saw aww too much, tho I can't say I never say it. This is how I've always talked in online, and I see no reason to stop because some find it "cliche"
Edit cause my french spelling is 1000x worse than my english, and I never won a spelling bee

Two points:
1) How will I know that someone likes me if she/he doesn't giggle??
2) What is wrong with hehe -- I use that in real life as well!! Plus, it is one of the only ways I know to insult a rude patron while still looking cute. For example, "Oh sure, you really soloed a lair of Kimogilas with master brawler -- how dumb do you think I am? hehe"
See, the "hehe" makes it look cute. Now hold your hand up to cover the "hehe". It looks much more insulting without the "hehe" doesn't it. Anyway, I will just move along now before I give up any more of my secrets!

It's almost impossible to convey emotion and tone through text. Someone who is not a strong writer and only a casual internet chatter needs to have a few things in their vocabulary to help pass along an understanding of emotion. "hehe" "awww" and the /giggle emote are merely tools that take the place of facial expression and body language.
A few others are "hun" "sweetie" "lol" "rofl" "pwned" etc.... While yes they are cliche they are also wonderful tools to help turn a plain text message into something a bit more colorful.

My original response to Abilla was just to be a goof and to give him a hard time. 
Although, now after Reachwind's response, I did realize I do have a real pet peeve word. That word is "hon." I clearly know that it's irrational to have irritation over that word. And, I know that most people who use that word don't mean anything bad by it. I can tell when it's meant as a way to be snarky, and I can tell when it's meant to be a true term of endearment. Nevertheless, I really hate being called hon. Despite the fact that I know it's not always meant to be so, it always sounds condescending to me. And, the odd thing is, I know there's a somewhat large population out there who also hates the word hon being directed at them by a random person.
It's sort of like when someone uses the word, "um" in a post where they're disagreeing with someone else. The word "um" can merely mean a pause in thought. Yet, at the same time it often automatically sounds like a word or phrase used with a condescending attitude.
So, if it were up to me, I wish people would stop calling me hon. It's just my peeve even though I know it's not meant how it sounds to me.

Wow, lay off the grouchy pills people! 
My old AO guild (now WoW) calls that "spazzy girl talk." I love SGT and speak in it 100% of the time in game. If you don't like it, just don't talk to me. No biggy.
Making fun of the way people talk is lame though, so please don't do that. It hurts people's feelings. Just don't hang around if you don't like the chat that's going on in an area... or use your ignore feature.

I /lol, I /giggle, I /ponder, I /whap people on the head! I usually create my own emotes though because the single word ones often don't convey just what I am trying to say. Sure, hearing the same emotes can get tiring, but considering that most of them are coming from AFKers who use them to keep from getting kicked by the system, I don't give it much thought. On the other hand, I give my emotes a lot of thought - they are seldom random or spacey.

After a good night's sleep, I have changed my mind. I am happy that entertainers would say ANYTHING to me.

Oh, okay. It's all good.
Wasn't clear to me at first... this one sounded like another one of those 'come in and try to bash the entertainers, ha ha' posts. Glad it wasn't.
But... while we're on pet peeves....
Whole words, people! The word "you" is not spelled "u", nor is 'your' spelled "ur". Ur wasa city inMesopotamia, and it's been gone for around 5000 years.
"The", not "teh".
Okay, so I'm a stickler for spelling. Can't be helped. A typo's a typo, but sometimes.... oh wow...
