Thank gawd my husband hates sports more than I do. I might watch the last game of the world series, and I used to go to the women’s basketball games when I was in college, because a couple of my friends really liked them, they were free, and I kind of wanted to support women’s sports, even if I didn’t really care about the sport itself. DH hates sports with the fire of 1,000 suns. He won’t even watch tangentially “sport” movies, like 8 Men Out, or Breaking Away (and we went to IU). The only sports movie he’s seen all the way through is Cool Runnings. Unless the martial arts in Jackie Chan movies counts as a sport.
Not even Major League?
It’s unAmerican I tells ya!
The one I don’t get – and you all will probably say, “Oh, no, she’s not considered hot,” but she is, was in the high 30’s (IIRC) on the Maxim Hot 100 list – is Miley Cyrus.
*Bull Durham *is the sports movie for people who don’t like sports movies.
I hate to be negative about someone else’s appearance, but I just saw the latest Captain America and while Scarlet Johanson has a lovely figure she’s not conventionally pretty. Not even in a “prettiest girl in third-period Algebra” way. I could see why Cap preferred his neighbor, though she also would only rate as cute in Algebra. But I went to a high school full of pretty girls.
That’s really it in a nutshell. She’s not really ugly at all, but she’s not particularly pretty at all, even by non-Hollywood standards.
And yet, for a long time there, Hollywood was holding her up as if she was equally gorgeous as the other really gorgeous actresses at the same time, and it was kind of annoying to a lot of people.
Dunnow, the few people I know who consider her pretty are gay men. The one time I saw something of hers that made me go “wow”, it wasn’t hers (body double for legs, Pretty Woman).
Sarah Jessica Parker did turn out to be quite odd-looking as she got older, but I always remember her from the eighties movie Girls Just Want To Have Fun. At the time, I wished I was lucky enough to be as beautiful as she. Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985)
I’ve never seen even a moment of Sex and the City.
Wow. I never did a side-by-side comparison. Has she had a nose job? It looks like she might had had a broad nose made smaller by having it narrower, which was a mistake, I think, because it made her face look even longer. Also, she may be a victim of Botox freeze around her mouth and eyes: that’s why her eyes look so small, and she has a tight smile, which also doesn’t help with the narrow face.
She looks so serious in the older pictures, and I remember her as being a little hyper, but always fun, and playing characters who were kind. She looks like the ice queen in the most recent photos. Too thin, also, which doesn’t help-- her face needs some subcutaneous fat. And it’s not her age. I know you lose subcutaneous fat with age, but she’s my age, she’s not 60.
I never particularly noticed SJP and whether she was good-looking or not…there was no hype of her being a hottie that made it across to the UK.
But some of the pictures people are linking here should really come with a Not Safe For Eyes warning…totally see why people are adding her to this list.
Emma Stone
Kirsten Dunst
Sandra Bullock
Kristen Stewart
Yeah, she has spent millions on publicity to give her a sexy-hot image. :dubious:
What she is is cute and kinda hot. But she’s no Cameron Diaz, etc.
Huh? Her singing was dubbed, not her body.
Here’s the things. Hollywood knows damn well SJP is not sexy. But she is portrayed as Hot so “normal” women can put themselves into her Manolo Blahnik’s. In other words they can figure- "well if I had a $10000 wardrobe, professional make up and maybe justa little “work’ done, I 'd be that hot”. And sometimes they are right. She’s not there for the guys, she’s there for the gals.
Just like they picked Kristen Stewart for the Twilight series. Woman can identify with her, to an extent.
But I despise her “bunny sneer” trademark look and her rather wooden acting.
I love that TV show about family togetherness, where the parents are trying to make the kids happy by doing stuff they like (I totally forget the product being advertised, though), and one thing they do is watch a Twilight movie. The father looks close to tears, and screams into a pillow.
Ah yes, stunning body but she has Billy Idol’s sneer which is… disturbing.
Well, there you go.
