i think brad pitt and jennifer anniston will have exceptionally ugly children, their potential ugliness is masked by well-groomed expense. i think elizabeth hurley is begginning to look really tacky, in her trying to look young. Sarah Jessica Parker is hot if you acknowledge your obvious ugliness. posh spice carmen kass i agree with: cameron diaz julia roberts tom cruise ---

Not that she’s considered “beautiful” by _any_ stretch of the imagination but allow me to take a pot shot at **Courtney Love**. God, I think she is just the nastiest, skankiest, BLECCH. There was a “Before She Was Famous” video I saw of her and holy frijoles was she ugly. ---

Dyan “I’ve been shot in the face with a” Cannon: Apparently, the Dead Kennedys were able to look into the future when they named their _Plastic Surgery Disasters_ after her. Joan Rivers: never a beauty too begin with. Another “celeb” who needs a plastic surgery intervention. Callista Flockhart: Only slightly cute before she forgot how to eat. Lucy Liu: shave her head, paint her gray and she’d be a big hit in Roswell. Meg Ryan: Used to be cute, but cute doesn’t age well Penelope Cruz: why did Tom dump her? she looks to much like him ---

Heather Locklear’s - sneers rather than smiles and walks like she is straddling a log Helen Hunt - walks like a duck with her feet splayed wide apart Ben Affleck - I think ice runs thru his veins instead of blood - cold and lifeless. Leo DiCaprio - The guy is so emaciated and completely a soft wimpie sort ---

There are people who don’t like **Mel**? :eek: He’s a god. I’ll second the following nominations: **Tom Cruise**. I liked him back when he had a crooked nose and an overbite. I’ll bet he gets pedicures, the froot loop. **Brad Pitt** : Give me a man with a few muscles, please. **Cameron Diaz** , **Minnie Driver** , **Nicole Kidman** and **Pamela Anderson**. I’d also like to nominate: **Russell Crowe** : For gawd’s sake, man, put down the beer and try not to be so freaking grumpy. **Robert Redford** : Even in his heyday, which was a looong time ago, I didn’t find him particularly attractive. **Marilyn Monroe** : Ditto. She was just another blonde bombshell, IMO. **Kevin Costner** : My doormat is more charismatic. **Matt Damon** : He seems like a nice chap and he’s got a good head on his shoulders, but I’ve dated guys better looking than him. **Justin Timberlake** : Who _is_ this little squirt? I don’t think the dude has pubic hairs yet. Yet all my nieces are nuts about him. It’s a mystery. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Little Nemo \* > \*\*Other women who are often described as beautiful but I regard as neutral in appearance at best include […] Isabella Rossellini […] \*\* You Sir, are a cad, Sir! You’re talking about the woman I love there, buddy.

**Sarah Jessica Parker** is, how do I say it, too horsey-faced to be beautiful or even attractive **Helen Hunt** pinched up face, very unattractive **Anna Nicole Smith** hideous looking **Britney Spears** hard to say what she really looks like, but is so provacative. I sure would like to see her naked or is it nekkid, to make a final judgement ---

The Baldwin brothers. I have seen Alec Baldwin in one or two movies where he’s not bad-looking, but the rest of the time, yuck. Leonardo DiCaprio. Chris O’Donnell. Nicholas Cage. There are quite a few actors that were okay, or even attractive, in the first movie or two I saw them in, and since have just somehow become ugly since them (perhaps they no longer have that good makeup artist who was the only person who coule make them attractive?) such as Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner. ---

If Helen of Troy didn’t look like her, Paris was a moron. However, I fail to understand anyone’s attraction to the following: Nicole Kidman (she looks like a mannequin) Any member of a ‘boy band’ and… …well I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head, but I’ll keep trying. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kniz \* > \*\*I agree with a lot of what is being said, but I also agree with **JubilationTCornpone** that it is rather harsh. Let’s face it, you haven’t got much left after naming all of those people. \*\* That’s right. In fact, I’m alarmed at how cruel some of these remarks have been. Look, Cameron Diaz et al. may be celebrities, but they’re still human beings. It’s one thing to say that you find them unattractive, but there’s no need to go overboard. How would you feel if someone said that your mother had a “horsey face” or that she looked like she had been shot by a cannon? ---

Geez, what planet are you guys from?!? 😕 Although I can accept not considering them raving beauties, Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker are hardly **ugly.** And I’m sorry, but I don’t see how any red-blooded, heterosexual male could not consider **Nicole Kidman** an unbelievable piece of ass! You might as well try and say that **Jennifer Connelly** or **Natalie Portman** are ugly (go ahead, I dare ya!) :mad: I really can’t think of any celebrity that’s considered beautiful that I find downright ugly. I think **Liza Minneli, Sandra Bernhard** and **Illeana Douglas** are all pretty homely. ---
