I can’t believe we are on post 30 without any mention of Paris Hilton :eek:

I just do not understand how people think she is hot.

Who thinks she’s hot?

Alison Lohman  
[/QUOTE]

I always feel so guilty that the absolutely beautiful Allison Lohman continues to play a string of teenagers in all her movies.

I know she’s actually a couple of years older than me, but hearing her play 14 year olds and 16 year olds all the time is weird.

[QUOTE=bubble pop electric]

Jessica Alba is really average-looking, I’m not sure why she’s considered the pinnacle of hotness.  
[/QUOTE]

I think with her it’s demeanor as much as anything. To me, anyway, she comes across as honestly friendly and “real”, and is able to convey genuine interest in the person to whom she’s speaking. Also, she looks healthy (skin and all that) while many of the other “beautiful” starlets don’t so much. Part of that is her Latina side - she doesn’t need to spend a lot of time (if any) in a tanning booth, and so she doesn’t look prematurely aged. I think Eva Longoria benefits the same way. Alba also has a killer body that many of us would totally love to see naked. The fact that she repeatedly gets very very close to naked without actually doing so adds to her allure.

To the OP, let me mention that Seven of Nine chick from _Star Trek: Voyager_. Never saw the appeal.
