BLASPHEMY!!!
(Oh well, more Ewan for me!)
I’d like to list:
Ben Affleck,
Tom Cruise (back in the day, before we found out how batshit he really is),
Johnny Depp,
Ashton Kutchner (Topher Grace was so much cuter!)
Leonardo DiCaprio
Paris is, at least, funny. Or willing to mock herself on camera, which is nearly as good. I don’t know anything about Britney’s alleged wholesomeness or lack thereof.
Yeah I kind of like Paris. It atleast seems like she’s well aware of what she’s doing and she’s really good at marketing herself. She comes off as kind of smart because of it. The other celebs, like Britney or Lohan, just seem like they had too much to drink one night and made a fool out of themselves.
Brad Pitt. Something about him just says “caveman” to me. I think it’s his forehead, now that I think about it.
She’s not really that pretty to look at, certainly, but the way she moves and talks is reminiscent of Lauren Bacall in her heyday or a Body Heat-era Kathleen Turner, and she can switch between ingenue and siren faster than Michael Bay can blow something up and say, “Awesome!”
Cameron Diaz, much praised in beauty (I believe Roger Ebert once described her as “a genuine sex bomb with a gorgeous face”), is utterly unappealing to me. When placed against Toni Collette playing the “ugly sister” (In Her Shoes; didn’t see the film but had to watch the preview an extraordinary number of times) I’d pick the latter any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Diaz also has a limited range as an actress and, frankly, just doesn’t seem to be too bright.
And I’m completely in agreement on Julia Roberts; terrible actress, unappealing smile, and a body that would be good on a scarecrow.

Never understood the appeal of George Clooney. I’ve said this loads of times before but to me he looks just like Jay Leno without the chin.

I don’t see Owen Wilson either.
-
Orlando Bloom.
OTOH, I think Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and James McAvoy are fabulous.

Jessica Biel – butterface.
Rosario Dawson – butterface.
This is where Sir Galahad sticks his face in and says, “I bet you’re gay.”
Jessica Simpson - don’t care what stage of her life, but her body has never been great and most definitely she is not pretty. Just add to that the eternal stupidity and I feel like I’m on a different planet from most of my fellow human males.
I don’t think anyone, other than perhaps Kurt Cobain, ever considered Courtney Love to be a “hot chick”.
Recently I’ve seen actress Megan Fox mentioned in threads here as an example of a hot chick. I had to look her up on Wikipedia to see who she was (I didn’t see the recent Transformers movie, which is apparently her only significant role to date), and I have to say I was underwhelmed. I mean, I guess she’s better looking than the Average Jane, but by Hollywood standards she’s nothing special. She’s skinny, overly skinny for my tastes but pretty typical for a young starlet, and her face is just kind of generically pretty. Although Fox is only 22 she looks like she’s already had a lot of work done. I don’t know if she actually has, but that’s how she looks to me.
Ewan McGregor’s been mentioned in this thread a few times, but I think part of his appeal is that he’s more a “boy next door” type than matinee idol handsome.
I absolutely agree with you, if we are talking about her current way-too-skinny self. However, back when she had some meat on her bones, say when she did The Mask, she absolutely merited Ebert’s description.
As for her intelligence and acting skills… yeah.
I’ve never seen the appeal of Cameron Diaz either. I’m not sure what it is; maybe it’s her eyes.
I’m largely dittoing folks here but Angelina Jolie, Rosario Dawson and Cameron Diaz all manage to avoid my “She’s hot” radar. The fact that Cameron Diaz acts about as well as my cat doesn’t help.
I’ve gone from acknowledging Megan Fox’s looks to completely failing to be impressed by them. Again, the fact that anything I’ve seen/read about her indicates that she’s dumb as a stump who failed stump school doesn’t help. Still, seeing her these days elicts a “Meh” from me.
Christina Ricci is 90% forehead or something. Something about her face just doesn’t sit right with me.
Have you seen Moulin Rouge!?
I’d also be happy to take your share of Daniel Craig. (Have you seen Casino Royale? Forget him coming out of the ocean; the swoon-worthy shot of him wet was when he went into the shower fully clothed to comfort The Girl.)
Nope – he’s the reincarnation of Cary Grant. Looks and that luscious baritone.
Somehow this thread makes me want to post this link.
The Mask was the only film in which I found her attractive, but damn, she was *gorgeous *in that. Doesn’t even look like the same woman we all think of as “Cameron Diaz”.
Megan Fox is the anti-hot. That chick is trying waaaaaaaaay too hard.
Clive Owen
Sarah Jessica Parker
Matt Damon
Paris Hilton
Burt Reynolds
Lisa Kudrow
Come on, I’m a straight-as-a-laser-beam guy, and I think Clive Owen is hot. It’s a pity he passed up the role as Bond (although Daniel Craig was a good choice). “Here we are, sir, and in good time, too.” – The Driver, The Hire: Star
Lisa Kudrow is a woman of perfectly ordinary appearance who has a beautiful smile and a rare talent to be as good at understated drama as she is in comedy.

Zac Efron is a hack, an utterly untalented John David Carson wannabe with zero charisma who uses phony kinetics and lacks confidence. I am so unbelievably sick of seeing his face everywhere I look, and the same also goes for Miley Cyrus. (Yuck!)
I didn’t see the big deal either, until someone linked to this picture in another thread. His face is nothing special, but yowza, that’s a nice body.
Since when was Lisa Kudrow a sex symbol?
Similarly, Sarah Jessica Parker is frequently the butt of jokes for being ugly. Perhaps some people find her attractive, but it’s hard to say someone is regarded as hot when they’re commonly understood and used as a cultural reference for “ugly.”
