For me it’s all about the eyes. Amanda has brown eyed Natalie beat by a mile. ---

Doesn’t Amanda Peet do work to debunk vaccine/autism conspiracy theories? A celebrity endorsement to counter Jenny McCarthy type stuff. If so, she wins. I haven’t seen Portman busting any bullshit! ---

While a student at Harvard University, Natalie Portman read an Op-Ed in \*The Harvard Crimson \*by a Harvard Law School student and she responded with a letter to the editor.

I have seen exactly one movie with Amanda Peet in it. And she got her naugs out. So I’ll say Natalie Portman, because she’s hot and excessively talented. ---

Alright, fine, work out some sort of schedule, I’ll bang her. Actually, she’s always looked kind of like a 12 year old girl to me. Not sure how people see her as being super hot. She seems super skinny and juevenile. ---

Peet, who has no problem showing off her goods, needs to eat about a dozen meals. Portman, only about 9-10. But Portman is still a baby, by my standards. I don’t know Peet’s age and can’t be arsed to check. I wouldn’t say “no” to either one, but I wouldn’t chase after either one. They are interchangeable. ---

Quoth **GuanoLad** : > [@](#): > > I have seen exactly one movie with Amanda Peet in it. And she got her naugs out. Neither Google nor Urban Dictionary seems to know what “naugs” are. From context, I would assume that it meant “breasts”, but then you go on to imply that an actress getting her naugs out is a _bad_ thing. ---

I knew someone would question “naugs”. I looked around and it is a rare spelling, but that’s certainly how I hear it pronounced most often. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just not enough to tip Peet above Portman, in my estimation. ---

I would have thought that most folks living in the developed world have the “wrong” number of teeth, having had four of them removed in their late teens. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Actually, she’s always looked kind of like a 12 year old girl to me. Not sure how people see her as being super hot. She seems super skinny and juevenile. With a shaved head she looks suspiciously like Wil Wheaton. Also she’s a chain smoker. On the other hand, Peet…just isn’t very attractive to me. I’m sure she’s a fine actress, or at least, she plays a good drug addict, but I’ve not seen her in anything that has made me particularly want to see her “naugs”. I have to go with my default answer of Franke Potente. Stranger ---

Google her name along with “naked” and I’m guessing you will be too.
