Young, attractive, and a fine actor, but I can’t stand Timothee Chalamet. It doesn’t help that I first saw him in _Ladybird_, where he played an overconfident moron, very well. It’s a great movie that would be even better if his character was punched in the face at the end of each scene. Yes, I need to be a better person. ---

Jim Carey. Especially when he’s gurning, but also when he isn’t. ---

William Macy, John C. Reilly. … Huey Lewis (something so repellent about him! he was just too old at the time of his fame, and I despise his music, too)… Kathy Griffin with that ridiculous hairdo. Tori Spelling (most unfortunate, despite her trying to be a Hollywood Blonde, got all her father’s looks), Rumer Willis (ditto)…Oh, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And of course the grand poobah, that stinking orange rectal sphincter, tRump. ---

Nothing major, but I always thought Eddie Money always looked strange when he sang because of the way he sang out of one side of his mouth with the other corner of his mouth closed. ---

My first thought was Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s always lauded as beautiful, but she seems so intensely plain to me that I find her unappealing. I think it’s the severely thin lips. My stepmom, who was from Hong Kong, once told me that Claire Danes was considered very ugly back home. And just the other day I saw that Lena Dunham got married. She was posting a bunch of pictures. Forgive me, but that woman is horrid. ---

I may be prejudiced, but she jogs my memory of a horrid teacher from years ago. I do realize she is not ‘hideous’, but I really can’t look at her without getting a chill down my spine. ---

> [@salinqmind1](#): > > Rumer Willis Same here. My Google news feed seems to think I want to see her mug on a weekly basis, and I can’t for the life of me figure who gives a shit about the completely unaccomplished and unphotogenic offspring of unpleasant celebrities. ---

Meredith Viero and Regis Philbin…something about both these WWTBAM hosts just made my skin crawl. Some weird kind of hack smugness. And Paul Ryan. The self-satisfied jut-jawed thing, and a smile that reminds me of the Berenstain Bears (or Berenstein, depending which timeline you’re in) illustrations. ---
