I love this thread. Another one who just can’t stand George Clooney’s face, though he’s not a bad actor.

120 posts in, and someone has mentioned George Clooney of all people, but nary a word on Nicholas Cage’s hangdog face? What is this board coming to?

Sean Hannity - his face looks like he is always about to cry to mama.

Joan Rivers - That is one seriously overworked face. It would be cheaper for her to just dip it in plastic and the result would be the same.

Brad Pitt - No, really. I don’t get how people consider him good looking. Ew.

Russell Brand - oikes! He makes me think of an aggressive dog.

Sylvester Stallone - he has ooky lips. Just ooky.

I read a review of “City of Angels” starring Nic and Meg Ryan, I will never forget. He played, what, an angel? “Nicholas Cage spends time gazing at Meg Ryan, looking like a bloodhound eyeballing a ham sandwich on the kitchen table.”

Heh - that’s a great visual you’re painting there. 🙂

Speaking of Meg Ryan and “I can’t stand your face,” what has [she done to her face?](http://www.readthesmiths.com/articles/Images/Entertainment/CelebPlasticSurgery/Meg2.jpg) She used to be so cute! This does not look like aging gracefully.

She went the same route as Joan Rivers to keep up her youthful looks and promptly lost them to botox and other treatments. Sad for her and a warning to the rest of us.

Her 'roided up babydaddy is pretty damn irritating too. I can’t wait until the WWE wishes him well in his future endeavors.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention [Giuliana Rancic](http://www.seventeen.com/entertainment/bios/giuliana-rancic).Her mouth / teeth that look like she’s wearing braces, her stupid overdone tan and her ridiculous hair. Oh god, that hair makes me want to smack her. If you insist on wearing mounds of hair (is it all real?)around your rodent like face, please do not part it down the middle. Grrrrrrrrr.

Actually looking at that particular pic, her whole face is pretty jacked up - her nose is quite lopsided and she has that weird vein in her forehead.

I think that must be an astonishingly bad photo, because I always thought she was a decent looking woman.

Because my husband made me, I watched Are You There, Chelsea? People make fun of gingers but Laura Prepon is a very pretty redhead. [She is, however, too damn white to pull off being a blonde.](http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/files/2012/01/laura-prepon.jpg) Where does her face end and her hair begin? Does she have eyebrows? [She’s turning into Betty Boop’s skeleton.](http://www.imagegossips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/cartoon-character-skeletons-1.jpg)

P.S. As sitcoms go Are You There wasn’t bad. But that name really sucks.

😕

In my experience, natural blondes are as white, if not whiter, than her.

Whatever the reason, I definitely agree that blonde does not suit her nearly as well as red. This was quite evident when she changed hair color near the end of That 70’s Show.

In my experience natural blondes run the gamut from very pale to naturally suntanned. Redheads are always a whiter shade of pale.

Russel Brand. I’ve never actually slapped the expression off anyone’s face, but he makes me want to try.

Oh, speaking of slapping expressions off of people’s faces, that reminds me of someone I love to hate - Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s a perfectly lovely looking woman, but I just want to slap the smug offa her.

So both Scott and James were on Hawaii Five-0 last night and I saw instantly where Scott’s face (and height) came from. Yikes.

I refuse to believe James Caan’s listed height of 5’9". His son is 5’5" and the difference didn’t seem that great. Alex O’Loughlin is 6’1" and he towered over both of them.
