After much pondering and back-and-forthing, I must confess…Donald Trump holds something of a sexual attraction to me. I don’t know why. I can’t explain it. It disturbs me, almost to the point of wanting to change my name and IP on the vaguest offchance Till Lindemann or Nick Cave read this and are forever frightened away from me and change their minds about their previous decision to come forth and molest me, which would be a terrible shame. I’ve also got a thing for Quentin Tarantino, and this might explain why I’m currently single.

Having said that, there are a few folk who are firmly on my “People I never, ever want to see naked ever, ever again thankyou” list.

Harvey Keitel. “Bad Lieutenant”, anyone?  
Billy Bob Thornton. Just…no.  
Jack Nicholson  
James Gandolfini  
Bruce Willis  
Cher  
Madonna

There are a few others who elicit a strange nausea and panic when I consider them naked.

Susan Sarandon  
James Gandolfini  
Britney Spears

And with that, I think I’ve just lost 5lbs on the newly created “Celebrity Pukathon” diet.

Good day :smack:

Now I think about it, I find Carrot Top attractive, too. A threeway with Carrot Top, The Donald and myself would be a fun way of spending a Sunday afternoon, actually.

And no, I’m not kidding. I just hope my therapist doesn’t read this…

[Anne Heche](http://www.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/News/09/04/anne.heche/)! She totally creeps me out. She is an affront to lesbians everywhere. Hideous and a nutcase to boot.

Am I the only one who did a happy dance when her character in Psycho was sliced to ribbons? Hee hee hee! Makes me wanna dance a jig right now. 😃

I was thinking of a few names, but someone mentioned that hog Rosie O and I almost barfed when I remembered how much I loathed her. She is one person who has always made me ill beyond words. Then there is Britney Spears, Tammy Faye Baker ( Wait is she an actress? or does she just dress like one?) Ben Stiller makes me gag just looking at him! Cameron Diaz is hideous without makeup and I’ve seen Lassie do scripts better. I’m sure there are many others who make me plenty ill, but those are the ones I could think of off hand LOL !

I read that, and it depressed me so much, but then I noticed this disclaimer:

It’s a fake.

Thanks. I must have missed it. Stranger things have been said by stranger folk, though.

What? No mention of [Ric O’Casek of the The Cars](http://www.usats.com/dale/thecars/graphics/ocasek.jpg) or [Lyle Lovett](http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/humanface/photos/gallery/photo9_lg.jpg)? These two are beloved of straight men everywhere, because if THEY can score with hot chicks – and they could – anyone could. Anyone rich and famous, anyway.

Actually, very few of the people already listed offend me (neither do O’Casek and Lovett, they’re just famous for being ugly by most people’s standards). But Michael Jackson has the whole damn package – bizarre looks, total pretentiousness, and worst of all, the whole pedophilia thing. Yech. Feh. Ich.

On the distaff side, I like large-breasted women a lot. Got no problem with Pamela Anderson at her most pumped-up. But you get past a certain size and the women just look deformed to me. Seriously deformed. Ooges me right out. Perhaps the worst of the lot is Lisa Lipps. Lipps used to do hardcore, now she does whatever kinda core she can get. Her gigantic implants have grown saggy and baggy. Worst of all, she had a LOT of collagen injected in her lips, and the collagen has lost whatever shape it once had, and her lips are large, lumpy and flappy.

Angelyne also bothered me because her looks were so phony that I could never believe she was a real woman – a transvestite, or a woman mocking a transvestite mocking of a real woman.

Ethan Hawke.

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Ricki Lake. I don’t care how much she diets and changes her hair, she’s yukky.

And Jeremy Irons really creeps me out. I get kind of the same vibe off of him as I get from John Malkovich, that there’s something really wrong here.

Oh, Og. I never used to hate John Travolta until I had a dream one time when I was in highschool. I dreamed I came home and went in my room, and the door slammed shut and locked behind me. Then I heard a weird moan and looked to see a sphinx with the head of John Travolta sitting on my bed. His eyes were all glowing and he started saying “I waaaaaant youuuuu…” I was screaming and trying to open the door. It was a totally creepy dream. And now I can’t stand to look at him.

I can’t believe that no one said Anne Ramsey, whose late career seemed based on the fact that she was ugly.

Wow, I actually like Lisa Lipps. And Minka. And Linsey Dawn McKenzie, Donita Dunes, Fantasia, Summer Cummings, Lovette, Brittany Andrews, Kayla Kleavage, Crystal Gunns, Kerry Marie… But I know all of them through still photos only; I haven’t been lucky enough to see them “performing” on film yet.

People with deformed, mutilated, or overly wrinkled eyelids or undereye regions really repulse me for some reason. Marliyn Manson and Michael Jackson are extreme cases of purposeful eye mutilation. But Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger, Burt Reynolds, and Al Pacino (whose undereye skin seems to have been wadded up and then retrieved from a wastebasket) are rather awful too.

I was glad to see someone mentioned Seinfeld’s Jerry Seinfeld, George Alexander, and Michael Richards. While they doesn’t repulse me, I found it hard to believe that these characters on the show could have so many attractive girlfriends. The real Jerry Seinfeld who is a multimillionaire maybe…but some marginally famous comedian and a couple of usually unemployed middle aged men? Elaine was quite cute, until she glammed up.
