I’m a straight female but this…I never could understand why Jennifer Aniston has acheived the tabloid-queen level of hotness. Seriously? I think she is quite plain.

Demi Moore is another I never really got.

Mickey Rourke used to be beyond hot, and he had the potential to mature into a really good-looking older man, aka Sean Connery. But whatever he did to his face turned him into a freak.

I don’t care how big her boobs are, Sarah Jessica Parker has a face like a foot. I literally cringe whenever one of her commercials comes on.

Halle Berry: So vastly overrated it ain’t funny. Nice nipples, though!

Jennifer Lopez: What’s the deal with her, eh, other than her big butt? Let Triumph sniff it, for all I care.

Julia Roberts: Big boobs, skinny legs, a mouth that looks like baboon’s vagina.

Angelica Huston: Alluring, in a funny kind of way, as Morticia Addams, but can’t hold a candle to Carolyn Jones.

Paris Hilton is as intelligent as mildew and as interesting as belly-button lint. I might enjoy boning her, just so long as I were free to do anything I want and she kept her mouth shut.

Allyson Hannigan I would joyfully service in any manner she might demand of me!

According to documentary evidence, you’d be limiting your options.

Alyson Hannigan doesn’t strike me as the very demanding sort; which is a big part of her adorabilityness.

There’s apparently an association between small squinty eyes and testosterone. That hard inaccessible look is supposed to drive millions of women to distraction.

You DO remember her big scene toward the end of _American Pie_, don’t you? The only thing I wouldn’t do for her is wear two rubbers (or even one, if I could get away with it).

I’ve never seen _American Pie_.

Followed by: “So, are we gonna screw or not? I’m getting kind of antsy!”

The first time I ever saw Allyson was in _American Pie_. Right at the beginning of the flick, she shows up with a bunch of nerds on the BMOC’s doorstep, asking where the big party’s supposed to be. She didn’t even have a line in that scene, but I knew IMMEDIATELY she was going to turn out to be the hottest babe in the movie!

It’s not an accident that I haven’t seen it. Nothing in the clips I’ve seen was particularly funny to me, and I’m not a fan of raunchiness just for its own sake (even from someone as hot as Alyson Hannigan).

Just quoting the line doesn’t do it justice. The whole point is that she has been such a goody-goody all the way through and then out of the blue she is revealed to be the dirtiest of the lot right at the end of the film.

I agree, though, that her “nerdiness” (if that’s the right word) is the foundation of her charm, whether it’s feigned or not. Even before it was revealed how hot-to-trot she was in _American Pie_, I fancied her far more than the other beautiful girls in the movie, 100%.

Victoria Beckham. Bizarre, grim-looking stick insect, taking herself oh-so-seriously and emitting an air of my-shit-don’t-stink. (well, that’s how she comes across, anyway). Pretentious! At least she isn’t constantly bragging about how ‘lucky’ she is being married to the hotness that is Becks.
