> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > I noticed that too. I saw a clip of her at the recent royal wedding, and she looked like she was attending a funeral. She can’t be happy. Re Victoria Beckham, the only time I heard her speak, on a chat show, she came across as very relaxed and happy. (I think she has no talent, and I don’t find her at all attractive btw.) ---

A lot of these are very funny. Though many people may not agree with me, I can’t stand to watch Jessica Alba in movies. Maybe if the movie was muted, it wouldn’t be so bad but her acting is off the charts horrible. ---

Victoria Beckham supposedly got out of the habit of smiling as a child because of her bad teeth, even though she came from a stinking rich family who could have had them fixed. She looks like a praying mantis, and I suppose a non-smiling praying mantis is better than one with an actual jolly facial expression. Ryan Reynolds and the other “it” boys (somebody Gosling?) of this year - their faces don’t annoy me so much as they’re just so forgettable. Not even up to ‘Ken Doll’ standards. Newt Gingrich and Bill O’Reilly look like pillars of the community who secretly hire hookers to perform perverted acts on them in cheap hotel rooms. ---

I never could stand Julia Roberts’ lips, they look like worms. I used to dislike Leonardo di Caprio for his squishy little baby face but he has got better now that the years have stamped a bit of character onto his features. ---

> [@Eve](#): > > **Ryan Reynolds** may be a perfectly nice young man–but that entitled, smug, frat-boy smirk of his makes me want to slap him till he cries like a little girl. He totally does have a frat boy smirk, truer words never spoken – but I reserve my irrational hate for Matt Damon, that smarmy bucktoothed git. I hate his stupid face. ---

Leo may have character, but he’s certainly lost the looks that lured females into the theater to see “Titanic” a dozen times. All his features are squished into the center of his face. Now he looks sort of…porcine. ---
