Pretty much any Hollywood actress who has been left to do her own makeup and select her own wardrobe. In any case, there really are very few Hollywood actresses who do anything for me at all. But then, I’m not attracted to the tradition “American beauty” image, either. ---

I can accept most of the famous actresses as being beautiful, but indeed largely no interest. (Drew Barrymore and Julianne Moore strike me as plain-janes with good makeup artists behind them though.) It is probably easier to just say: If you are not a brunette And you are not thin (read skinny) Then you’re outta there Well…Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek can stay, but all the other non-brunettes are toast. ---

I’ve always found Pamela Anderson nasty (not the good nasty either). Others I don’t find particularly attractive are, Courtney Cox Lisa Kudrow Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) The Olsen Twins Liv Tyler Gwyneth Paltrow Julia Roberts Selma Blair Madonna (now) Amy Smart Amanda Peet Julia Louis-Dreyfus ---

Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt just look completely ordinary to me. Tom Cruise is repulsive in some way I can’t quite explain, and Matt Damon is just plain ugly. I mean, he’s got an ugly face. It’s ugly. What’s there to like? ---

Most of the “elite” or “beautiful” actresses in Hollywood do NOTHING for me. And I’m going from the age range of 18 (for legal reasons) and up. Lindsay Lohan doesn’t do anything for me. She’s ordinary looking. True, she’s got the best rack that money can buy, but that’s it. Nicole Kidman is too skinny, and she looks like someone whacked her in the face with a tube sock full of wood screws. She’s got a shocked look on her face perpetually. Liv Tyler is plain FUGLY. She looks too much like her dad for me. Amanda Peet just looks like a bitch. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > Liv Tyler is plain FUGLY. She looks too much like her dad for me. Really? I’e always thought her appeal was in the fact that she looks just like her dad, but somehow makes it look good. ---

Similarly: Condoleezza. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Ann Coulter, from the waist up (and especially from the neck up). Laura Bush, OTOH, I kinda like in a hot-librarian sense. The nicey-nicey mother-to-the-world schtik makes it hard to really get into her. And Arianna Huffington…I would totally huff. Outside of politics: Rosie Perez. Courteney Cox. Nicole Kidman. Star Jones. Kathie Lee Gifford. Jillian Barberie. Niki Piki Richie Hilton or whatever their names are. Most of Julia Roberts. Demi Moore since _GI Jane._ And what the Holy Hell happened to Helen Hunt? She’s metamorphosed from a sexy funny smart chyk into a thin unlovely freak with no career besides showing up at awards shows. I think she’s on drugs, man. ---

Angelina Jolie does absolutely nothing for me, one way or another. I don’t mind her, but there’s almost always someone else on screen I’d rather gaze at. I’m actively repulsed by Pamela Anderson. Or at least, I presume I am. I doubt that 1% of the population has any idea what she looks like. Everyone knows what her bleach looks like, and her silicone, but I’ve seen blow-up dolls that look more real. And I’m surprised that I’m the first to mention Brittney Spears. I can’t stand the pouty look, and the whole “I’m just a wholesome-values girl who just happens to wear skintight leather because it’s so **comfortable** ” thing got old really quick. ---

I can’t believe this woman didn’t make my list, but she should be _leading_ the list. She made it difficult to watch Casino (an otherwise brilliant film) I couldn’t stand the character, and I’ve never liked the actress. I’m talking about Sharon Stone of course. ---

However, Ben Affliction needs to **die**. Thief. 😉 Actually, I used to have a crush on Brad Pitt when he was in _Legends of the Fall_, when I was sixteen, but I got over that quickly. I don’t hate him, but he’s just so boring. Mel Gibson is repulsive because he’s a bigot and an asshole. Won’t let his wife use birth control, publically states she’s going to Hell because she’s Episcopalian (even though the Catholic church never taught that non-Catholics go to Hell, at least not officially, _ex cathedra_, as he stated). ---

I would have a threesome with Steve Buscemi and Kathy Bates before I would allow **Tom Cruise** anywhere near me. Smirking, short (sorry, I’m a height bigot), and not exactly talented. Is **Tom Hanks** supposed to be sexy? Cuz he’s not. ---

I’ll ditto the previously posted list with the exception of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. I’d take Johnny dresses as Capt. Sparrow rarrrr! And Orlando is purrrdy. Tom Cruise was actually the first that came to mind but I definity agree on Colin Ferrell. Colin Ferrell is particularly repulsive, not just because of his caterpillar eyebrows (although I think he finally got them tweezed a bit) but also his bad boy behavior. Heck, he probably wouldn’t be half as repulsive if he could just give one short interview without once have to be bleeped. Guys, saying the “F” word every other word is not attractive, it just shows your total lack of class and vocabulary. Even the cute Irish accent can’t help this guy. I once had a huge crush on Mel Gibson. I feel like my mother did many years ago. My mother had a huge crush on Charlton Heston. She absolutely loved him. We bought her tickets to a charity event he would be at one year and she got to meet him and she was thrilled. Then later she started hearing about his NRA stuff and other things that he said which showed her what a jerk he was. She can’t stand him now. That’s how I feel about Mel. So now what do I do with all these Lethal Weapon and Mad Max videos? ☹ I want to add Russell Crowe and John Travolta to the list as well. ---

I guess I’ll have to second **Guinastasia’s** list as well…And add… **Keanu Reeves** (Whenever I see him I think, “mild retardation”) **Richard Gere** (Icky yuk yuk) **Ewan Mcgreggor** **Jude Law** **Josh Hartnett** **Leonardo Dicaprio** **Vin Diesal** **Russell Crowe** (Sooo unattractive) ---

Men: Leonardo DiCaprio Vin Diesel Tom Cruise Russell Crowe Women: Halle Berry Renee Zellweger Gwyneth Paltrow Kate Beckinsale I just don’t like them, don’t know why, as theoretically they’re all beautiful people. It’s just that there’s something…missing. But then again my tastes are a bit odd. ---

> [@irishgirl](#): > > Halle Berry She was mildly attractive as Storm in X-Men, but give her her own hair and she looks like a little boy playing dress-up. Much like Penelope Cruz. I’m no Nicole Kidman fan, but Tom Cruise definitely got a raw trade-in deal there. ---

Nicole Kidman was the first person I thought of. She just seems like there isn’t a lot there besides her looks. Kind of like a hollow chocolate easter bunny.
