You think [Natalie’s teeth](http://www.natalie-portman-galleries.com/wallpaper-gallery/1024x768/natalie-portman11.jpg) look better?

Firstly, yes. Secondly, everyone has a one-off photo that looks crap somewhere. I first noticed Peet’s teeth in the nude scene in the Whole Nine Yards. They just seemed to take over her mouth.

SFW screencap: [http://pwwwblog.ibeatyou.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/amanda-peet-nude.jpg](http://pwwwblog.ibeatyou.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/amanda-peet-nude.jpg)

That wasn’t a single photo. That was a whole scene of TEETH with some unspectacular boobs underneath. Since then whenever I see Peet all I can see are her teeth. Hollywood, unnatural-looking teeth.

Peet is a very attractive woman, but IMO when Portman doesn’t have a haircut that makes her look like a little boy, she is the prettier of the two.

If Amanda had implants, she’d be the perfect woman (right now Salma Hayek has that job).

Natalie? Put a t-bone around her neck so the family dog will play with her.

Naugs has to mean breasts in this case. In one scene she distracts some men by flashing.

Implants would disqualify her from being the perfect woman. 🙂

I voted for Amanda Peet, bee tee dubs.

Natalie is small and everything but I can live with that. Her ego is what’s off putting.

I never got an egotistical vibe from Natalie. All this talk of it is somewhat surprising to me.

Except she’d be partially artificial, which is imperfection by definition.

You may be more familiar with the spelling “norks”. Or, to be marginally less crude about it, “boobies”.

I thought they were hob-knob hooter handles.

Since I can choose my criterion, I’m going with alphabetical order. Going by first names, Amanda wins in a walk, and even by last names, she edges out Natalie.

For calling Jenny McCarthy and other anti-vaccers “parasites,” I have to go with Amanda Peet.
