I assume nobody’s mentioned Mickey Rooney yet on the Principle of It Goes Without Saying.

Oops, left out the one that repulses me the most: Rosie-frickin’-O’Donnell!

Huge head and looks like a bulldog, has an obnoxious mouth and an excruciatingly annoying manner. I’d rather spend a month in the sack with with any of the others I mentioned than one hour with her.

\<shudder\>

I had no use for her until I met a mind-blowingly sexy young thing in college with _that exact same voice_…and it worked wonders with her bouncy blonde bob, crinkly little mischievous eyes with blue contacts, and general round-heeled, lubricious, rode-hard-'n-put-away-wet sexiness…\<sigh\>

:eek: Oh, dear, sweet Og! Please take that image from my mind!

And… and… the webiste is called “Kinder im Film” = “Children in film” and now all I can think is of some creepy guy searching the web for child actors… _shudder, twitch, twitch_ Oh, there’s something not right there.

I’m sure if I drill a hole through my skull I can wipe out the part that holds that image in its recent memory…

Russell Crow. Beautiful Mind was a great movie, and he was good in it. But his appearance is so repulsive to me that I will probably never watch it again. Same goes for Gladiator. Ugh.

Huh, no one has mentioned Adam Sandler, that head, that grin, yeeesh.  
Also Jerry Lewis, just too hard for me to take that bloated look from his medication.  
Totally agree with those who have mentioned Sarah Jessica Parker. And her munchkin husband Matthew Broderick.

Hey! Take that back! There’ll be none of that here! Helena Bonham Carter in real life does NOT look like a chimp!

She looks like an owl.

(Albeit, an attractive owl.)

You ever hurt yourself by trying to hold in laughter that just won’t stop? The pressure on your chest steadily mounts, swelling your ribs more and more, till you fear an alien may come bursting out and start singing, and yet you remain powerless to stop. Damn you.

[small hijack] I had an odd experience this weekend. The film [Shattered Glass](http://imdb.com/title/tt0323944/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxwbj0wfHE9c2hhdHRlcmVkIGdsYXNzfGh0bWw9MXxubT1vbg__;fc=1;ft=2;fm=1) was on, and I was hypnotised by the resemblence of Hayden Christensen (who I always thought of as good looking) to a very young Woody Allen (I had just seen a clip of one of his first ever appearances). I think it’s the mouth, but the glasses and the mannerisms nailed it. It was disturbing - I couldn’t really concentrate on the story, just his appearance.  
[/small hijack]

Back on subject - the thought of having to kiss Woody to be in his movie is enough to make me lose respect for any actress that lowers themselves to this depth.

On the first place of course : Rosie O’Donnell.  
I wouldn’t pee on her if she was on fire.

Another vote for the walking skeleton Penelope Cruz.  
My God, that _thing_ is just plain hideous.  
In movies she can sometimes pass for a woman, but in real life she just looks like a scarecrow.

I am probably going to get a lot of flack for this but my new nomination is : **Nicole Kidman** Yuch !!!  
The whole anorexic look just doesn’t do it for me.  
Compared to her Paris Hilton is attractive (Don’t get me wrong : I think Paris is also revolting)

Yes, well, it could’ve been **so** much worse. Steven Tyler could’ve read that post in a web-cafe on a major street, sitting by the window, and had that same reaction.

The sight of his jaw dislocating in mirth, and the hyena-like screeches that would then issue forth would surely kill a number of weak-hearted pedestrians.

I can’t watch ANY commercial with that fuckstick CarrotTop. I feel as though I am being skullfucked every time I see his pastey ass. It’s optical rape. GAH! Go away you monkeyfucker, you never were and still are not even remotely funny.

At least I know if my current job doesn’t pan out all I have to do is drag my face along some gravel and shrarp glass then go onstage and act like a talking turd.

Roger Ebert! His mouth looks like he gave a rim job to an unwashed hippopotamus. BLECH!  
Tom Cruise. Just something so skeevy about him.

Paris Hilton. Puke puke puke puke. And she’s stupid. What a turn-off

Sandy Duncan. Always looks like she’s right on the verge of a seizure. (it could be the roving glass eye, I dunno)

Lara Flynn Boyle. Used to be cute on Twin Peaks before her Aushcwitz look. Revolting. Utterly Revolting.

David Caruso! The right hemisphere pf my brain completely shuts down every time his face curses my TV screen. ::::::shudder:::::: His ghostly palor is sickening. I’ve seen guys come out of three years of solitary confinement with a better complexion. His fucking beady eyes turn my stomach and my anal sphincter can act better than he can.

You guys have named most of the celebrities I also find revolting  
(I think the only name I disagreed with was Elijah Wood. He seems cuddly, not revolting.) -  
Why is Paris Hilton continually photographed? Why is Nicholas Cage in moving pictures? Why is Mischa Barton suddenly an “it” girl? Why is Adam Sandler watched by anybody in anything? Christina Aguillera, Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Jack Nicholson - They’re all repulsive.  
Oh and did we all manage to forget Crispin Glover? And I must be the only person in the universe to find John Travolta repulsive, but I do.

PS - I know they alll may or may not be nice people, and in real life I don’t judge by appearances. But for the life of me I cannot understand why some of these people became famous, because, well, you have to LOOK at them!

Kidman's looks have crashed in the last year! Look at pictures of her from just agfter the divorce, and then from about six month ago. She went from stunning to :eek: so quick that it was either:

```

1. Starvation Diet + Botox= Horror!

2. She has been carrying around the one ring for some time and is starting to turn into Golum.
