I'm TRYING to hate her, but god help me I think she's hot.

Ditto.

Ditto again.

See, now, these threads are always a little goofy, because people immediately start posting the names of people who are all multi-millionaires on account of being incredibly beautiful. What you’re really looking for in the genre of “people I probably shouldn’t be attracted to” are names like Condoleeza Rice.

Just for example.

Esquire magazine’s annual “Women We Love” issue has one page in it featuring “Women we’re ashamed to love.” Condoleezza Rice and Natalie Merchant are two favorites of mine from there.

Ann Coulter is just not attractive. Her only nice quality is her hair, she’s just. Not. Pretty. Actually kind of ugly.

Same with Paris Hilton. Just goofy looking. Sure, she’s not actively ugly, she’s vaguely pretty in the way all healthy young women are. But she’s certainly not in the top 10%.

Whenever I hear people talking about how attractive these two are, I just can’t understand it.

Brittney Spears however, really is beautiful, especially when she isn’t allowed to dress herself or put on her own makeup. Yeah, she’s dumb as a post and makes Tanya Harding look like a Duchess. But she’s very pretty and you can imagine she’d work hard to please, she’s got that needy quality about her. Brittney might be dumb, but she doesn’t seem DULL like the previous two.

I want me a Shannon Doherty and Tiffany-Amber Thiessen sandwich. Just once.

What can I say? I’ve got a thing for the evil ones.

Awright, I gotta confess this. Maybe if I do I can live with the shame.

Pamela Anderson-(whatever-the-Hell-the-rest-of-her-surname-is-now).

She’s an inflatable plasticine skank, but I’ll be goddamned if I wouldn’t hit it in a heartbeat.

Have you seen the video? The video helps quite a bit.
(Not saying I’d hit that, except maybe with a truck or a massive load of antibiotics, but I understand.)

I knew I was forgetting someone obvious. I thought Jenna was all that until I learned about her…leanings. She still makes for lovely eye-candy, though.

We’re conditioned to assume any blonde celebrity must be beautiful. Ann Coulter is the perfect example; laying aside any political considerations, she’s really, really ugly. Not quite as ugly as, say, Janet Reno, but far uglier than Phyllis Diller. There is no man on earth who, if he just met her in a bar and didn’t know she was a celebrity, would think she wasn’t a hideous dog.

Paris Hilton isn’t ugly, but in any given medium sized high school she wouldn’t be one of the fifty prettiest girls. Nicole Ritchie, before she went anorexic, was much prettier.

But since they’re presented to us as celebrities, there seems to be this emperor’s-new-clothes conditioning that guys all say they’re hot.

As someone noted elsewhere, she bears an uncanny resemblance to a Whippet, which I’ve never heard of before, but good lord, I want to see her papers she looks so much like one.

Yeah, Ann Coulter’s pretty hideous. But there are plenty of hot political pundit babes around. How about:

Laura Ingaham

Monica Crowley

Nora O’Donnell

Stephanie Miller

Kim Komando

Campbell Brown

Melanie Griffith. She’s really a babe, but dumb as a post (and if you ever have the chance to see her “act” on stage, DON’T. I still gag when I think of her in “Chicago”).

I think the fact that they’re thin and blond is a big part of it. The thin=beautiful thing has gone a bit too far; I think.

Shepard Smith.

His voice is just liquid sex and he always looks like he is in on some dirty little joke and has to wait until he is off camera to laugh.

I’m ashamed to second Emenem.

Every time he opens his mouth I’m horrified, but damn is he a hottie.

Or Eminem even. :rolleyes:

Since when is Campbell Brown a pundit?

She’s quite lovely, though. Last year, when she was covering Hurricane Katrina in one of those idiotic let’s-have-the-reporter-stand-outside-in-the-storm bits, I found myself wanting to yell, “What the hell is wrong with you, NBC? Campbell is NOT EXPENDABLE! Send **Katie ** out there!”

But was her hair billowing in the wind?

Every response I can think of to that remark (except for this one) is egregiously sexist, chauvinistically objectifying, and generally Neanderthalic, so I’m going to just whistle.
