> [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > Carmen Diaz was _stunning_ in **The Mask** , but everything since then she is at best “meh”. This is due largely to her losing way too much weight in pursuit of the Hollywood anorexic ideal. Plus, it wasn’t her body in The Mask. ---

Jennifer Lopez. She is meh. I can see why some would think she’s ‘hot’, but she is ‘meh’ to me (and I’ve seen a couple recent photos where it seems she isn’t aging all that well). She’s just so bland, yet her own opinion of herself as the Alpha and Omega of attractive and sexxy seems contagious, and she has a lot of fans. Meee-owww! ---

> [@Shooby](#): > > Yeah Mila Kunis is actively unattractive to me. Something about her voice just really grates, and her incredibly annoying character from That 70’s Show has stuck with me as well. Donna was far more attractive. I never really got why Mila Kunis was cast as a super hot girl on “That 70’s Show.” She is, however, a much more beautiful woman than she was a teenager. [QUOTE=Ponch8] n “TiK ToK,” Kesha says that she “kicks (dudes) to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger.” [/QUOTE] In “Tik Tok,” the narrator is supposed to be an out-of-control drunk. You realize the song is ironic. ---

> [@Jim\_s\_Son](#): > > Lillie Langtry Most existing photos of her were taken when she was already middle-aged. I think she’s quite attractive nonetheless. Matthew McConaughey is the one I don’t get. For some reason, to me, he always looks like he smells bad. I don’t know how to explain it, or why I would think that, but he does. I see him, and I think “BO.” Not normal BO either, but metabolic disorder + just got back from camping near a lake, and hasn’t showered in a week. ---

Donna was far more attractive. I also thought the actress playing Donna, Laura Prepon, was MUCH hotter. ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > I also thought the actress playing Donna, Laura Prepon, was MUCH hotter. Okay, I think most guys get the Donna being hotter over Jackie thing. Now we’ve come to who do you prefer Ginger or Mary Ann segment (Gilligan’s Island).Who would you prefer? I think Ginger would be great for an all night sex fest, but in the long run I think Mary Ann would do it for me, provided she was just as much fun between the sheets. She would also be the one I’d take home to meet mama. ---
