That guy who stars in _Napoleon Dynamite_ repels me so much that I don’t want to see the movie. Then there’s Paul Reubens–but only in his “Pee Wee Herman” persona. ---

John Malkovich because he always looks like he just raped somebody and stashed the body behind the nearest church. Warren Beaty because he looks like the oogy uncle who always wants you to sit on his lap. [Hallie Kate Eisenberg](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004893/) because HOLY HELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER FACE?! David Caruso, Carrot Top and Bill Maher because of their skin tone… they look very… washed out, it’s oogy. Kirsten Dunst because I genuinely loathe her with every fiber of my being and also because her cheeks are weird, her lips are too thin, her waist is too high and her acting BLOOOWS. [Andy Sirkus](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0785227/), who did a great job as Gollum, but who totally squicks me out. Renee Zeilweiger is alternately attractive and OMG WHAT IS THAT THING!?! to me. I dunno that I’d put her here, but her face does seem awfully… squished and taut at the same time. Dee Snider and Howard Stern both seem like greasy assholes who make things up and try to act tougher than they actually are. Yuck. Juliette Lewis’s forehead is just too much for me. I agree that she appears mentally impaired. This isn’t always a bad thing (See The Other Sister), but it’s really gross when she’s dancing around in almost no clothes (See Strange Days) Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler are disgusting. The fact that people think they’re sexy makes them even worse. Eeeeg. Iggy Pop looks like he would smell like unwashed hair. Ron Jeremy and Jon Lovitz both look like they would smell like smegma. [Chris Klein](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005098/) is weird and greasy looking (kind of like Josh Hartnett) and [Seann William Scott](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005405/) makes me want to cockpunch him whenever he smirks. And while I’m on American Pie, [Chris Owen](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654104/) is kinda gross too. I’m gonna go shower with bleach now, thanks. ---

> [@mike1dog](#): > > Catherine Zeta-Jones irritates me for some reason. The guy sitting behind me at Oceans 12 was constantly saying how hot she was though. I don’t like the smug, self important, arrogant look she usually carries around, but I thought she was really cute in Ocean’s 12. ---

More, there’s more! Jacko–duh. Warren Beatty DOES look like a nasty pedo-philic uncle. Mary Tyler Moore Tammy Faye Baker or whatever her name is now George Bush–he looks like a chimpanzee to me Jimmy Carter–there is something wrong with his face (but I do like him) Ronald Reagan–I always wanted to sheer off his pompadour… Ditto John Revolta Also Barely Manenough aka Barry Manilow Joan Whatshername–she used to sub for Johnny Carson–Richards? The blonde with the obnoxious cable show and the snide red carpet show…cannot remember her name! ---

I have never understood the mass appeal of Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts, that whole wide-mouthed frog look the pair of them have is repellent. Jennifer Anniston isn’t repellent but is bland and plain-looking. My biggest aversion though is Jim Carey who for no reason I can really pinpoint I fin utterly revolting and unwatchable. And I join in the chorus re Juliette Lewis, blech. ---

> [@Eolbo](#): > > My biggest aversion though is Jim Carey who for no reason I can really pinpoint I fin utterly revolting and unwatchable. Maybe because he tends to be an obnoxious, overacting ham? He was good as the Riddler in that one Batman movie, but otherwise I just find him to be extremely annoying, and tend to avoid his movies. FTR, I feel the same way about Gilbert Gottfreid. Sometimes he’s tolerable, but usually he’s just annoying. ---

Wow… Idly searching on Google images, I have found a [picture](http://www.ecusack.com/juliette_lewis_02_movieline_mar99.jpg) of Juliette Lewis in which she does not look skanky, retarded, or generally icky, and in fact looks kind of pretty. Anonymous photographer: I salute you! Then again, I’ve been told I can find the beauty in almost anybody… ---

Jay Leno: I’m trying to find the words to describe what repels me; and it turns out to be: everything! Donald Trump: surely one of the most repulsive (not merely repulsive-looking) creatures on the planet. Randy Johnson: his only appeal is his “Big Unit.” ---

> [@Beware of Doug](#): > > Liza Minnelli. And I saw her onstage. It’s all real. :eek: You realize, don’t you, that this statement is bound to raise some questions? If she’s that repulsive, what made you go see her? I liked her in _Cabaret_, but that was a million years ago. ---

> [@Skopo](#): > > I find SJP’s enthusiasm quite appealing at times, and it makes up for her rather plain appearance. > … I agree…the way she used to say “It’s not TV, it’s HBO” made me all warm and happy inside. 🙂 . Actually, I’m amazed that she was in _Square Pegs_, playing a high school outcast. I liked that show, but could not in any way find either of the two girls physically attractive. Of course they were pretty young too, so that might have had something to do with it. But in SATC, she definitely appeared reasonably attractive. My wife and I would watch that show together, I think neither of us wanting to admit we liked it. ---

And that haunted house movie she was in a few years ago. Her character initially came across as all self absorbed and superior, but then showed genuine concern for Lily Taylor’s character. ---

Since I’ve been watching the old “What’s My Line?” lately, I find that I am disturbed, more than repulsed, by Dorothy Kilgallen. She barely has a lower jaw! Somehow, though, the more I learn about her, the more interesting she becomes. ---

Two more: Jerry Lewis- it’s not his fault that steroids for back pain caused him to bloat, but even when he was in his skinny heyday he freaked me out. I have to change the channels when he’s on and even have to agree with übertool Dennis Miller about him: “Why is it that when Jerry Lewis tries to be serious I laugh my ass off but when he tries to be funny I get depressed?” Anthony Newley- it wasn’t his face but his singing; something about his voice almost gives me seizures. “Whhhaaaaaaat kind of fool aaaaaaaammm Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii”, plus he seemed a total self absorbed arse on talk shows. ---
