Then there’s [Adrien Brody](http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2007/11/adrien-brody-energie.jpg) who, in spite of his very weird face, I still find sexy. No accounting for taste. 🙂 ---

Malcolm McDowell, at least in the [old days](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nndb.com/people/485/000024413/mmd4-sized.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nndb.com/people/485/000024413/&h=272&w=218&sz=15&tbnid=5zrtZe2Z1mUwoM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=72&zoom=1&docid=70jWuHCRRNYMtM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NTVFT7C0Eqv-iQKz1d3HDg&ved=0CEkQ9QEwBA&dur=1092).

I think Ryan Gosling is the John Cusack of his generation. He’s character-actor attractive, but achieved leading-man status based on his role in one film which was important to a lot of young women when they were at an impressionable age or level of maturity (“Say Anything” for Cusack; “The Notebook” for Gosling). ---

Add me to the Owen Wilson camp. Not sure if it’s his nose or his mouth that bugs me most. ---

[Benicio Del Toro](http://www.celebritiesfans.com/pictures/benicio_del_toro.jpg). I don’t get how _anybody_ thinks this man is sexy. His face is ugly and he _always_ looks like he needs a shower and a hair wash. [Pat Robertson](http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/images/ACFB8.jpg)(does he count as a celeb?) I can’t stand his weird ears and his bulging forehead and his voice. (And if you’re wondering why I ever even see him, we used to turn on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” to go to sleep to, and the 700 Club was on right before it so occasionally I would switch over it a bit early, just in time to see him earnestly praying over some old woman’s bunions or digestive problems or something. I couldn’t change the channel fast enough). [John Travolta](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9UxHwUfG2qQ/THHtsvSOi4I/AAAAAAAACTg/IZAGIM5Gesg/s1600/John-Travolta-held.jpg). I don’t like his smirky mouth or his jowly face. I didn’t think he was sexy back in the days of Vinnie Barbarino, and I still don’t. I kinda used to have the problem with Brad Pitt, but he’s improved with age. I still don’t think he’s attractive, but I no longer think he’s ugly. ---

Victoria Beckham. She looks like evil incarnate, and I swear she never, ever smiles. She’s terribly into fashion and quite good at it, but she always has that sucked in cheeks overdone model look about her. She seems so soulless because she never smiles. ---

Another thing about Renee Zellwegger, and you’ll never _not_ notice this once I tell you, is that **every single time** she shows up at an awards show, she’ll turn her back to the camera and then peek back at it over her shoulder. If there happens to be a shot of her not doing this, trust me, she just did it earlier, or was about to do it seconds later. Every single time. It drives me batshit. ---

Someone must have told her that it was her most flattering pose, although who knows why.
